I've moved my get_/set_setting() functions in a dedicated core/ module, and added a define() function.

Save this file as .php

Usage is
$this -> bot -> settings -> get($name) to read setting $name
$this -> bot -> settings -> set($name, $value) to set setting $name to the value $value
$this -> bot -> settings -> define($name, $value) to set setting $name to the value $value

No need to edit the Bot.php for the settings functions anymore.

The module does need my $this -> bot -> get_tablename() function though.

Oooooh.. nice, I likey!
