The IRC-Bot connects to an IRC-Channel and idles there. You may transfer the Server-/IRC chat, so that it's possible to chat directly from IRC with players on the server and vice versa. You may also define custom commands the bot should react on, or commands to administrate your server right from the IRC.
The bot also has a widget that displays the connected players inside his channel.
The IRC-Bot requires SMART 0.5.1 or higher!
Some information:
To configure the bot, go to the plugins.ircbot.xml and set a nickname, a channel and some commands. For users who run multiple SMART-Versions from one single machine, be aware of some networks connection limit. Quakenet for example allows you to have 5 connections from one IP => max. 5x SMART on one machine.
To prevent flooding the channel/being kicked increase the <anti_flood_delay> that makes your Bot not send more than one line in X seconds.
Authenticating with Q on Quakenet:
Use the example inside the config.
Changes in v1.0:
- Initial release
Download/Update
Manual installation: http://smarttool.org/plugins.php
Ingame installation: /admin plugins
PS: The plugin was tested with the Quakenet and with the UnrealIRCD-Server. It follows the IRC Din protocol, so that there should be no probs with other networks. Bouncer/psyBNC is untested. I also did not test it with SMART on Windows. Maybe you can give me a report.
