COGSBot updated again
It’s been a busy couple of weeks for COGSBot – lots of work has been done.
- The bot is now pluggable. I can add, remove and upgrade features without having to restart the bot
- All the existing functionality moved to new plugin architecture
- Authorised user efficiency improvement
- Permissions system (i.e. deciding which commands people can use) improved/generalised
- !lan is back – once more it is integrated with the list of upcoming LANs and current LAN signup count
- !help has been improved. The list of commands is now alphabetical to make it easier to find something you’re looking for. Initial output of !help has also been simplified – now supports !help <topic> for more detailed help on certain things.
- !remind has been improved. You can now specify exact reminder times (not just delays). You can enter times in am/pm, 24h or military time. You can also enter optional dates, for reminders on specific dates in the future
- !reminders added. Using !reminders, you can view an ordered list (by time) of all the current reminders you have set with COGSBot. You can also clear them all or delete a specific reminder if you don’t want it anymore.
- COGSBot’s topic handling has been improved to warn admins if they are going to set a topic too long. This should stop admins setting topics which get trunca
- Admins now have more control over lists – they can delete them for example
In addition to the above, the IRC stats have also been refreshed.
