There are lots of fancy depressionbot modules.
|
Usage information for the modules included with depressionbot.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Quotes
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This is the original reason that DBot was created, stores and displays quotes.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Commands:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- _~q category_ - Display a random quote from a given category.
|
||||||
|
- _~qadd category=newquote_ - Add a new quote to the database.
|
||||||
|
- _~qstats_ - Show a list of the biggest quote categories.
|
||||||
|
- _~qsearch category needle_ - Search for a quote in a given category.
|
||||||
|
- _~rmlast [category]_ - Remove the last quote added to a given category, or the
|
||||||
|
last quote added.
|
||||||
|
- _~rm category quote_ - Remove a given quote from the given category.
|
||||||
|
- _~qcount category_ - Show the number of quotes stored in the given category.
|
||||||
|
- _~rq_ - Show a random quote from a random category.
|
||||||
|
- _~d_ - Show a quote from the category which matches the bot's name.
|
||||||
|
- _~link category_ - Create a link to the page on the web interface which displays the
|
||||||
|
given category's quotes.
|
||||||
|
- _~qprune_ - Delete empty quote categories.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Unfortunately, this module is fairly highly coupled with certain other areas of
|
||||||
|
the program. I am working on this, but note, for example, that one can still
|
||||||
|
access quotes with the *~category* syntax even if the quotes module isn't
|
||||||
|
loaded.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Admin
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Various administration functionality such as banning users, hot-reloading the
|
||||||
|
code and ordering him to talk. Note that commands added here are handled with
|
||||||
|
their own listener, rather than being part of the command logic which is handled
|
||||||
|
by the Command module. Functionality in this module can be slightly unsafe as
|
||||||
|
not much error checking on the input is performed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
TODO: Add summaries for each command in this module.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Spelling
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Will attempt to correct a users' spelling by using the levenshtein distance
|
||||||
|
algorithm. One corrects the spelling of their previous message by simply posting
|
||||||
|
a message with their correction and an asterisk:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> user: I am a tutrle.
|
||||||
|
> user: *turtle
|
||||||
|
user meant: I am a turtle.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The regular expression for this module also accepts two asterisks at the
|
||||||
|
beginning of the correction, or at the end; it also accepts several words as the
|
||||||
|
correction and deals with these fairly intelligently. Users may also attempt
|
||||||
|
to correct another users like so:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> userone: I am a tutrle.
|
||||||
|
> usertwo: userone: *turtle
|
||||||
|
> usertwo thinks userone meant: I am a turtle.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## JS
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This module provides two commands which allow the execution of Javascript code.
|
||||||
|
For regular users, there is the *~js* command, which is completely sandboxed,
|
||||||
|
but can still be used for calculation and the like.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> ~js Array(16).join('wat'-1) + " Batman!";
|
||||||
|
'NaNNaNNaNNaNNaNNaNNaNNaNNaNNaNNaNNaNNaNNaNNaN Batman!'
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This feature is fairly safe as the user doesn't have access to anything
|
||||||
|
dangerous, and is safe from infinite loops or locking DBot up because the code
|
||||||
|
which is run is killed if it does not finish within a short amount of time.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For administrators, the incredibly useful *~ajs* command is also available. The
|
||||||
|
input for this command is simply 'eval'-ed and therefore has full access to
|
||||||
|
DBot's memory. Of course, this is incredibly unsafe, but I find it rather fun;
|
||||||
|
remember to only give extremely trusted friends administrator access to DBot, as
|
||||||
|
there's nothing to stop them wiping the database or something similar - if
|
||||||
|
you're worried about that kind of thing, do not load this module.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
However, it's useful for many things, such as administrative activity for
|
||||||
|
which there isn't a command in the admin module. For example, you could hot-add
|
||||||
|
a new administrator like this:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> ~ajs dbot.admin.push('batman');
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can also use this for debugging, or even adding new commands while DBot is
|
||||||
|
running.
