Part I. HOWTO run a bot.
1. Getting started.
I hope you have the FoxEye installed and if not then compile and
install it somewhere. I also hope you have installed the foxeye executable
somewhere where your shell can find it for execute or else you should type
full path to it in the commands below.
I also hope you have selected working directory for your bot where it
will place few files. Create it with command mkdir if it does not exist
yet. Read mkdir manual if you don't know how that command works. I also
hope you have selected file name for your bot executable config. Let say,
your working directory is ~/mybot and file name is MyBot.
If you ready then type:
cd ~/mybot ; foxeye -crmg MyBot
If you see prompt 'set name []: ' then our congratulations, you've
started it! Bot will ask you if you want to change some defaults. You can
safely skip most of questions by pressing 'Enter' when you see prompt, bot
will leave defaults for the variables, they are in the square brackets
right before prompt. If you want details then you can press '?' on any
prompt and you'll get some description for what you can do.
First of all you HAVE to set default own nickname for your bot (that
you see in the most first prompt). For example, Observer_AB.
When you are asked to add port then answer desired port for your
incoming telnet sessions. Let say it is 23456. Press just 'Enter' when
you are asked to add port again, it will skip to next question.
When you are asked to add module then add next three modules: "irc",
"irc-channel", "irc-ctcp". You can add some other later if you want.
After loading each module you will get prompt to change defaults for
variables from that module.
After last ask for module you will see some boot messages and prompt
on empty line. Congratulations, it worked well! Next job is to create
your own user record so you can login to your bot later. See an example
below and type your real data instead. First parameter for command .+name
is your desired login name, second is hostmask from where you will login
to bot, third is flags set, leave it as it is in example.
.+name vasyapupkin *!vasya@homenet.home.net afhomns
Next thing that you need is to set some password for you because you
never can login without password.
.chpass vasyapupkin 1234567
Now you are ready to restart the bot so type:
.die
Congratulations again, you just created your config and listfile
succesfully and can go to the next stage:
2. Adding a network.
Read your generated config (MyBot) and change anything you would like
to change but forgot when were asked then start your bot:
./MyBot
You started a bot so let connect to it! Type a command in your shell
(yes, it's what you've added hostmask *!vasya@homenet.home.net for):
telnet homenet.home.net 23456
(see reasons for all those parameters above)
You'll see prompt asking your login name. Type yours vasyapupkin and
you'll be asked for your password so you'll type it too. If everything
went well then you see no error messages and cursor just on next line
after password prompt. Here you can enter your commands to bot. First
thing is to create record for network where we want to connect. Look at
this example and type your real data instead - set desired name for your
network and server you want connect to. You can also add port with slash
(i.e. 'host.org/7770' for example) if you want to use some port other than
default one from settings.
.+name -irc mircnet irc.mircnet.com a*
Now join you newly described network:
.connect mircnet
After bot's restart it will reconnect to it automatically so there is
no bothering to do that ever. Let's check if it really connected - type
in your IRC client connected to this network (see above about nickname):
/whois Observer_AB
You should see some info about your bot so it's safe do type (in telnet
session)
.quit
and after that type (in your IRC client)
/dcc chat Observer_AB
You should get asked for your password. If bot tells you that you have
no access then check if your mask entered above matches your mask in IRC.
If it does not match then you can either change your host/ident in IRC or
telnet into bot again, add additional mask with command .+host then .quit
and retry to enter DCC CHAT.
If you got to this point then it seems that everything is OK, we got to
network so our bot is ready to join some channel in the network:
3. Joining a channel.
Assuming you are in chat with bot so we can add some channel for the
network mircnet and connect to it:
.+name #mychannel@mircnet - as
.connect #mychannel@mircnet
You should see bot's succesfully joined the channel and ready to greet
everyone, enjoy it. This HOWTO ends now, you can learn everything else by
typing .help and so on. :)
Part II. How to set bans, exempts, and invites.
1. Bans.
There are two categories of bans: nonamed (i.e. anonymous) bans and
personalized bans.
To use first type you need a module "modes". I hope you know already
how to start a module so you did it. As soon you started the module you
have 3 good commands for direct: '+ban', '-ban', and 'chban'. First one
adds nonamed ban into Listfile, second one removes nonamed ban and third
one changes parameters (sticky flag, target, or comment) for existing ban.
See your help for further details. Examples:
.+ban Fuck*!*@* * +40w Never come here again!
.+ban *!*adv@*.r23f.br @mircnet
To make a personalized ban you can add flag 'k' to some user's record
for the channel or network with command 'chattr' and remove that flag to
remove personalized ban. If module "modes" was loaded then you can change
ban reason for the user with command 'comment'. Example:
.chattr badguy +k @mircnet
.comment badguy you are not welcomed here!
Also you can ban someone without adding them into Listfile using a
command 'kickban'. See your help for details.
2. Exempts and invites.
Just remember, exempts and invites are deeply personal things so there
is even no plans to make any support for nonamed exempts and invites. Use
command 'chattr' to add exempts and invites to existing users. There is
even advantage about this, you can more easily add and remove hostmasks and
targets from a client record (so exempt or invite). And also there is no
global exempts but network wide exempts stll available. Examples:
.chattr LightGirl +a @mircnet
.chattr otherbot +e #watch@mircnet
