First and foremost I take really no credit for this module, I merely copied the "rules.php" and replaced everything that said "rules" with "patch". My sincerest apologies if this is considered bad form, if my programming skills were not so limited I would of chose another method. Anyhow credit to those listed in the comments found in the rules.php :)
On to the module.
Some of the members in my guild are not so forum savvy and up to date with what Funcom is planning. I thought it would be nice if they could easily view the patch notes in game. For those who are informed perhaps it could be a quick reference.
First install the module like any other, then there is a folder and file everyone should already have from the rules.php in the root directory called txt. In this folder create a new document called patch.txt and copy and paste the patch notes from your source.
The only true pain I found was color coding the text, for me I am picky and like to have different colors here and there for headlines/bold lettering and what not however this is a matter of preference and you could easily <font color=#FF0000>'insert patch notes'</font> for the entire document.
I hope this can be of use to some of you/reedited to a more professional module or whatever its future may hold.

hmm this is a pretty good idea, I'll play around with it.
It will be a pain to update when they put a new patch out, but if my guildmates use it I won't mind updating it.

too bad there isnt a way to have the bot pull it from some sort of RSS feed or something.

If someone felt like the hassle, theres nothing stopping you taking the patch notes and reformatting into a more bot friendly format and uploading them somewhere the bots could retrieve them from. A quick 2 minuite copy and paste and adding a few tags is all it would take :)

My guilds July 31 patch notes for this bot in case someone is very lazy...
-
heres the formatted notes for aug 6th.

Dam, would actually not like to have the upcoming notes only... maybe a way to have both current and upcoming somehow, mini menu maybe triggering when typing patch maybe... then the choice of the two :)

I created a guide for the guides module called "Archived Patch Notes"
in guide.lst I added the following code:
<a href='chatcmd:///tell <botname> <pre>guide 13'>LINK</a> 13 - Archived Patch Notes
I then created a file : 13.txt and added this code:
<font color=#ffd700>Previous Patches</font>
<a href='chatcmd:///tell <botname> <pre>guide patch073008'>LINK</a> Patch: July 31, 2008
I then copied the July 31st patch notes into a file I call patch073008.
Kind of just a temp solution but it works for now.
