UB2R-B0T is based off of Hotnsour, an IRC bot framework, which can be found at Red Elm Studios. This page lists all (most) of the available commands on UB2R-B0T, as well as a brief history and FAQ.

Contents

History

The first version of UB3R-B0T was just a bunch of hacked together scripts running inside an mIRC client. It got the job done, but it wasn't very pretty. Junior year of college I met a guy (Jerry! Jerry!) who had written an IRC bot in PHP4. As a project in one of our classes, we rewrote that code in PHP5, which is the Hotnsour framework (linked to above). UB2R-B0T uses this framework, though a fairly hacked up copy. While PHP may seem like an odd language for an IRC bot, it actually works decently well. The big plus is being able to write scripts in PHP -- it's quick and easy, and more powerful than mIRC scripting :) Supposedly there are plans to rewrite Hotnsour sometime in the future...we'll see what happens ;)

FAQ

How do I register?

Private message the following the bot, replacing {password} with a password of your choosing: 

/msg UB2R-B0T .register {password}

Please note that whatever nick you are using at the time of registration is the nick you must be using when updating.

Why register?

The point of registering with the bot is so that you can be assigned a particular level within the bot's database. Levels are set on a per-channel basis. The point of having levels is to restrict certain commands from public use -- for example, the ".op" command, which gives operator status, should only be accessed by certain users. To have a level set, you'll need to ask me.

I was level X, but now I'm back to level 1. What gives?

The bot uses hostmasks to determine your level. So, once you've been assigned a level, if your current hostmask does not match the record in the database, you won't have your assigned level. This is where registration comes into play. Since you registered with a password, you can update your hostmask in the bot's database in order you regain your previous level statuses, like so: 

/msg UB2R-B0T .update {password}

Commands

To use a command, use the keyword prefixed with one of the command characters: ".", "~", or "!".

Bonus Stuff

faces

The bot has "faces" for a lot of different things. For example: 

<Dom> sad face
<UB2R-B0T> :(
<moiph> grr face
<UB2R-B0T> >:O

After adding in the obvious, I added in some extra ones: 

<Jason> emo face
<UB2R-B0T> omg life sux wheres my linkin park cd :'(((

At some point I added in faces using people's nicks -- usually as a description of the person or a quote or something of the sort (or just an inside joke) 

<yami> yami face
<UB2R-B0T> SEASONS CHANGE AND SO CAN I

Not everyone has a "face" in the bot's database yet...if you're a regular in the channel you might, but I'm a bit behind on keeping it up to date. Don't bug me about it either, I'll get to it :)
