Features of Eggdrop |
8 |
|
9 |
|
10 |
Eggdrop is the most advanced IRC robot available. It has been under |
11 |
development since December 1993, and unlike most other bots, it is still |
12 |
regularly updated. Some of its features include: |
13 |
|
14 |
* Completely separate channel user lists like having a separate bot for |
15 |
each channel. |
16 |
|
17 |
* A "party line" available through dcc chat or telnet, with multiple |
18 |
channels, giving you the ability to talk to people without being |
19 |
affected by netsplits. |
20 |
|
21 |
* A "botnet". A botnet consists of one or more bots linked together. This |
22 |
can allow bots to op each other securely, control floods efficiently, |
23 |
and share user lists, ban lists, exempt/invite lists, and ignore lists |
24 |
(if sharing is enabled). |
25 |
|
26 |
* User records are saved on disk and alterable via dcc chat. Each user |
27 |
can have a password (encrypted), a list of valid hostmasks, a set of |
28 |
access flags, etc. |
29 |
|
30 |
* The ability to "learn" new users (if you choose to let the bot do so) |
31 |
by letting users /MSG the bot "hello". The bot will grant them automatic |
32 |
access of whatever type you specify (or even no access at all). |
33 |
|
34 |
* A file system where users can upload and download files in an |
35 |
environment that looks and acts (for the most part) like a typical |
36 |
UNIX system. It also has the ability to mark files and directories |
37 |
as hidden -- unaccessible to people without certain user flags. |
38 |
|
39 |
* Console mode: you can view each channel through dcc chat or telnet, |
40 |
selectively looking at mode changes, joins and parts, channel talk, |
41 |
or any combination of the above. |
42 |
|
43 |
* A scripting language: commands and features can be easily added to |
44 |
the bot by means of the Tcl scripting language, giving you the power |
45 |
of TOTAL customization of your bot. |
46 |
|
47 |
* Module support: you can remove/add features to your bot by adding or |
48 |
removing modules. |
49 |
|
50 |
NOTE: |
51 |
|
52 |
This bot is NOT intended for users of very limited MEMORY or DISK shell |
53 |
accounts. The development of this latest design of Eggdrop is geared |
54 |
towards features and flexibility. |
