Would like an IRC chat relay, so we can see GC, and send tells to GC from a IRC channel.

I really need this, the bot is great and I got it up and running at once. But without the IRC relay its not "good enough". we have alot of people hanging in our irc channel during work hours to chat and help with information during daytime.

Any chance this could be implelemented?

oh! doh

well, first off, its for 1 person, and second off, its windows, and thrid thing, it doesnt run on most work connections, most ppl can only ssh out on oneport and use that to ssh home to their servers with irssi

I need a relay from the bot, I know there are bots that does that, and I cant see why its not in this one. It works great, and I really like the bots and the stuff it can do, so I would love to run bebot. But without the irclink I fear that someone might setup a ign bot

IRC Relay is on my own wishlist aswell. So far i havent found time to work on it myself.

For now we have been using an IGN bot for the relay, but its quite memory expensive to run IGN bot merely for the IRC relay :\

Is there anyone out there that can fix it? isnt it possible to look at ign bots code for irc-relay and make it into a bebot module?

I have already tried that but it lags to much

wish someone could implelement it.. I hate running IGN aswell only for the ircspam. I tried looking at the code again, but its still a bit to cryptic for me.. if there was a way to switch of ALL other functionality on IGN it would be that bad, but now they keep doulbe spamin logon and logoff messages.

The double spamming of logon/logoff should be easy to remove. Seriously, if you bothered to take 5 mins to look through your loaded modules and/or how IGN works, this is no problem at all (On bebot have a look at notify.php or if you use my online.php (which you shouldn't since you're running a guildbot) check that one).

When it comes to IRC module, make it yourself...or at least start on something. I guess it's something about demands/needs. I myself have absolutely no use for it whatsoever, so I'm not gonna do the work, but I can assist you on it or at least share my thoughts about it. It should be very easy to do. If you poke around 2mins on www.php.net, you'll realize that PHP has it's own subet of functions for IRC connections and such things. I ca understand that it might be a bit cryptic if you've never programmed at all before, but if you have, there's no excuse to not start on it yourself

Since a lot of people seem to really want this I might take a look at it in the comeing week if noone else does - but due to time problems atm (big exams comeing up) I can't promise anyhting - especially since my account is no longer active and I'd have to test on a freebie account (got to find a guild with a lvl 1 char to test in :?)

I'll get you hooked up Blond

I got sick which means that I can't concentrate on the stuff I have to learn

On the upside codeing needs a lot less concentration than learning stuff so I got to work on the IRC Module....

Here's the first beta. This is just intended to test if it works for most people, gather feedback on bugs and on further features needed.

Copy the IRC.php to your bebot/modules directory and the other files to the bebot/IRC directory.

First thing you'll have to do is configure it once the bot is running again:
!irc server <servername>
!irc port <port> (this defaults to 6667 if you don't enter anything
!irc channel <yourchan> (this defaults to #bebot)

These settings will not get lost on a restart of the bot, so you only have to do this the very first time.

Once thats set up do:
!irc connect

And to disconnect again:
!irc disconnect

The files can be found here.

Just post any feedback here...
