I was in talks with [vL]Kp about a chat bot program called SphBotv3. If everyone is interested, I would be happy to run this bot on my computer 24/7 so long as it is capable of doing the following:
Quote:Qualities I'm looking for in the chat bot:
1) I would like a bot which states the time every X-minutes (I think this should also keep it from going idle),
2) has a list of all /friends (i.e. Lurkers - unfortunately this would be limited to 50, as per battle.nets limit) and when queried by someone in channel, for example with ~friends, would display a /f list in whisper form to the person who asked,
2b) as a safety precaution, only people already on the list could query the friend list,
3) typical OP commands (i.e. Kick, Ban, etc.), would require a static account
The following are just random thoughts I think would be cool, but not necessary:
*) Future addition of randomized password creation with the possibility of asking the bot what the password of the day is, such as ~pass would give the password used by Lurkers for the day (ala Weasltek),
*) Future addition has the option of saving a chat transcript/log and emailing it to the person who asks for it, i.e. ~savelog and ~emailme. This would require the email of each member on the /f list. Just a thought.
If someone knows how to set up a bot to do these functions (I honestly don't have the time to research this task now or in the near future), then reply here or PM me. I leave my computer on 24-hours a day so unless there is a power outage, I don't see why I cannot run this chat bot for everyone. If anyone has any ideas for additional chat bot functions, list them here and perhaps someone who knows more about chat-bots than I can enlighten us.
