Wiggy Patch
The Wiggy Patch is a mod for TOB. TOB 2.1 already has it installed in as a part of TDM Fortress. It was originally designed for server moderation, and is still mostly geared towards providing functions that help the host control his server.

Wiggy Menu
Edit
See Wiggy Menu.
The following is quoted directly from the Readme from the 0.9 Wiggy Patch.
Client functions
Edit
Client features can be used anywhere, even on non-WP servers.
--Macro Recorder
This is a simple macro that allows one to record moving and placing bricks, and then play it back. Good for complicated repetitive tasks.
-Usage: Click on Record button in the Wiggy Menu. Start moving and placing your ghost brick. When you are done, click the button again to stop recording the macro. To play the macro, click Play Macro.
-Notes: This is a lot cooler than the old macro, as the old macro could only repeat one task. While it doesn't record changing bricks, this macro can record and play back everything you do - if you move a brick forward three times and place it, it will record exactly that.
--Server WP version:
This tells you what version of the WP the server is running.
-Usage: Click on the button in the Client part of the Wiggy Menu.
--Player WP version:
This tells you what version of the WP the selected player is running.
-Usage: Select the player you want to check, and click on the button in the Client part of the Wiggy Menu.
--Automessage
This sets your automessage, which is sent when you connect to a server.
-Usage: Click on the button in the Client part of the Wiggy Menu. Enter your automessage into the popup, and click OK.
--Background controls
Color scrolls through the preset colors and images. Transparency scrolls through transparency.
-Usage: Figure it out. It's pretty obvious.
Server functions
Edit
These features can only be used on a WP server. They often require admin or super admin status.
--Respawn Cycle:
This function respawns a player once per second for a given amount of time. It's good for keeping someone busy for a certain amount of time.
-Usage: Select the player you want to target in the Player List, and click on the button in the Server part of the Wiggy Menu. Type the amount of time you want to respawn the target for, and click OK.
-Notes: The maximum amount time you're allowed to respawn someone for is 15 minutes, but usually 30 seconds or a minute is adequate.
--Drop at Camera:
This function drops someone at your camera, similar to the f7 command. It is useful for mooving people, and for calling attention to something.
-Usage: Go into f8 mode and position your camera. Select the player you want to drop, and hit the button in the Server part of the Wiggy Menu.
-Notes: I imagine this can be abused easily - if that happens, remove Admin status from the abuser.
--Controller:
This basically takes control of the player you select.
-Usage: Select the player you want to control in the Player List, and click on the button in the Server part of the Wiggy Menu.
-Notes: This has some inventory bugs, but at least the screen doesn't glitch all the time now. This may be discontinued at some point.
--Deleter:
This deletes a player. It forces them to stay in the death camera until they are respawned. Good for keeping people from interfering with important stuff, as only Admins can free them.
-Usage: Select the player you want to delete in the Player List, and click on the button in the Server part of the Wiggy Menu.
-Notes: None, really. I find this is very useful for keeping people from messing with stuff long enough for you to do whatever you're doing.
--Server Message:
This allows you to send a private, anonymous message to everyone on your server.
-Usage: Click on the button in the Server part of the Wiggy Menu. Type what you want to say in the message box, and hit OK.
-Notes: I find this is very useful for talking behind other servers' backs. Colors do not work except through the console backdoor, to prevent mimicry. When someone sends a server message, the host is notified of who the sender is.
Host
Edit
The most powerful functions by far, these features can only be performed on your own server.
--Super Kicker:
This allows you to kick Super admins, and has an optional disconnect message.
-Usage: Select the player you want to delete in the Player List, and click on the button in the Host part of the Wiggy Menu. Type the disconnect message, if desired, in the box, and hit OK.
-Notes: The Disconnect message appears to the player after they have been kicked and forced back to the Main Menu.
--Armer/Disarmer
This allows you to give someone a weapon, or to remove their current weapon.
-Usage: Select the player you want to target in the Player List, and click on the button in the Host part of the Wiggy Menu. To remove the player's weapon, leave the message box blank. Otherwise, type in the name of the weapon image and hit OK.
-Notes: I forgot to fix this. In the next release it will be able to add a weapon to the player's inventory, or clean out a player's weapons. As it is, the Weapons privilege is more useful.
--Remove Super Admin:
This strips a Super Admin of their status and reverts them to an Admin.
-Usage: Select the player you want to target in the Player List, and click on the button in the Host part of the Wiggy Menu.
-Notes: This makes it easy to prevent Super Admin abuse, because normally, the host cannot kick or de-super admin Super Admins. Remember that if they obtained super admin status by means of a password, it is advisable to change that password.
--Give Super Admin:
This gives someone Super Admin status.
-Usage: Select the player you want to target in the Player List, and click on the button in the Host part of the Wiggy Menu.
-Notes: This makes it easy to make someone a Super Admin without giving out your password.
--Filter List:
This dynamic list allows you to edit the word filter in real-time.
-Usage: Click the button in the Host part of the Wiggy Menu. To add an entry that effects everyone, set the dropdown list to [Global]. To add an entry that effects non-mods, set the dropdown list to [Normal]. To add an entry that effects non-admins, set the dropdown list to [Mod]. To add an entry that effects non-Super admins, set the dropdown list to [Admin]. To add an entry that effects only one person, set the dropdown list to [Name ^] and type their name in the box above it. To change an entry in the list, double-click it, modify it, and click Change Selected Entry.
-Notes: This thing now works correctly - at first there were some loading bugs. See the Filter entry in Other Features for more information on the filter.
--Ban management list
This dynamic list allows you to view and remove the IPs that have been banned from your server.
-Usage: Click the button in the Host part of the Wiggy Menu. Double-click an entry in the list to remove it. Type an IP in the box and hit the button to add the IP to the banned IP list.
-Notes: The only other ways to remove bans are to edit tbm/server/ipbanlist.cs, or to type removelastban(); in the console. Hopefully people will find this useful.
--Monitor client
This function can make the game monitor a player and warn you when they do something.
-Usage: Select the player you want to target in the Player List, and click on the button in the Host part of the Wiggy Menu.
-Notes: If a client is being monitored, it will warn you when they spawn a weapon, pull out a weapon, spawn an Igob, stuns someone, or equips an Edit tool, as well as many WP functions.
Other functions
Edit
These are other functions, generally outside of the Wiggy Menu.
--Privilege Menu:
Super admins can use this to modify a player's privileges - for instance whether a player can use weapons, the Igob, etc.
-Usage: In the Wiggy Menu, double-click the player's name in the Player List. If you are in a WP server, a dialog will pop up with a list of the player's privileges. If you have at least Super Admin status, you can click the many buttons to modify the player's privileges.
-Notes: The Host has access to a Privilege privilege, so he can block other Super Admins from messing with privileges.
A list of all the privileges you can modify:
Suicide
Talking
Brick planting
Vehicles
Weapons
Paint can
Igob
Money (rather pointless)
God mode
Edit mode
Privilege modification
-Also: If you chose -All- in the Player Menu, you can modify everyone's privileges at once - if you want to stop a DM, you can turn everyone's weapons off at once.
--Bot controller:
You can use this to control your own clone bots. It can be used to pose them to a limited degree.
-Usage: Select your own clone bot with an edit tool, and say "/control", minus the quotes.
-Notes: There are some inventory problems right now, but I'll try to fix them soon. When you control a bot, your old body snaps up and looks straight forward. I already know how to fix this, so rest assured you'll be able to pose bots soon.
--Filter:
This is a powerful word filter that can replace what people say with something else. You can set each entry to filter either everyone, normal players, mods, and admins. You can also filter one specific person by only selecting that person's name.
-Usage: Click the Filter List button in the Host part of the Wiggy Menu. For more instructions, read the Filter List entry in the Wiggy Menu Features section, about 70 lines up from here.
