Hello ... I am new to using BeBot. I am an experienced programmer, however a newbie to PHP).

I have it all installed and running. I have found that if I don't explicitly do a !member add command then the other guild members cannot talk to the bot, they would get a "I only listen to members of this bot." error.

So, question ... does BeBot auto recognize guild users, is there a toggle to turn on? I have the conf file configured to act as a guild bot, or so I think I do.  Or must I !member add ... for each guild member???

Also, I was perplexed why it would say "I only listen to members of this bot." rather than the other message "I only listen to members of (guildname)".  I was looking at the code in bot.php and the condition to show the above two messages is based on  line 876 ...
if ($this -> guild_bot)

I debugged this and at that line "$this -> guild_bot" was null that is why it showed message "I only listen to members of this bot.".

Where is $this -> guild_bot assigned? I could not find reference to "guild_bot" in any of the .php source code.

Appreciate any help/responses.

Cheers,
Eric

ah, thanks for clearing that up. 

I guess my bot must not be acting like a guild bot because it is not automatically adding members who chat in guild chat.

In the bot.conf I have ...

$bot_name = "... set to a character in the guild.
$guild = " ... set to the guild name
$owner = " ... set a one of my characters that is also in the guild
$guildbot = true;
$guild_id = 00000001;

Is there anything else to make it a guild bot?

Is it also true that I could just type !help in guild chat and the bot would pick that up; I do not have to specifically /tell bot !help, right, if done in guild chat?

Yes, that's such a no-brainer I should have checked that first. The bot toon was just a level 1 still sitting on the beach. Leveled it up past 5 and then it started to work.

Thanks.
