StarInfo is a bot for streamers that will display to your stream chat information about your opponent whenever you enter a game on SC2. Some of you may have seen my StarInfo bot on some streams and wondered where to get it. Well, wonder no more!

Information shown includes their name, division rank, league, SC2Ranks region / world rank and their name/alias (if available). If playing on the KR server, Hangul names are also romanized to make it easier to try to guess who the opponent is and they are auto translated if a matching TLPD player is found.

Previously StarInfo has been restricted to a few people who I was in contact with due to the difficult process involved with setting it up. Now I have made an updated version that is much easier to setup. Currently, StarInfo only works with TwitchTV and Own3D streams.

During the first phase of testing, I'm going to be limiting the bot to featured streamers on TL to avoid any possible load issues. Setup is very simple - you just download the program, run it, paste some info onto TL and leave it running while you play.

If you're interested in trying it out, see http://www.teamliquid.net/mytlnet/starinfo.php for full details.

oO.

May I ask how it works? And if you could explain it to me slowly like I was an idiot because I've always been very impressed by it on HerO's stream.

The program just sits there and looks up your opponents bnet ID from the game and sends it to a script running on TL. The script then does all the work of looking up their stats on battle.net, using the SC2Ranks API to get more info, alias lookup / romanization and then finally it connects to IRC and sends the message to the appropriate chat channel. This way is very flexible as I can continue to update the program by just updating the script on the server rather than force everyone to update to a new version of the program.

mind = blown. It sounds a lot more complicated than that, or at least I would have assumed it was way more complicated.

How did you come up with this idea? Haha. Almost as awesome as your Quake Task-killer mod! :p

Can't wait to see it in action!
