This is a mod of one of the earlier versions of darkbot (version 1 beta!) Most of the darkbot features are useless due to the fact that this darkbot mod is meant to just log your channels. Why would you want it to log your channels? Because it logs your channel's and puts the output into html format (color formats similar to how mIRC outputs, if it had a black background). This is useful if you wanted to put up your current channel's chat on a website for others to read if they're not on IRC. This bot will make a main html page for the channel, and a second html page for the "nick list". To make this work, what you'll need to do is setup a html page with two frames, one for the channel window, the other for the nick list. Each of these will then call a cgi, and will basically just run tail -n 30 (or however many lines you want to display) to show the latest chat. The frame page will then have a meta tag refresh to reload the main window, I recommend every 5 seconds. To see an example of this (the lurker program is no longer running, but you can get an idea of how it's going to look when done), go to http://www.superchat.org/lurker Included in the samples/ directory, is an example of the frame html page and the two cgi's to tail the text files. To setup the robot, make sure you edit robot.c and change the defines at the top to suit your needs. Then type 'make' and run the configure program. If you have problems, let me know. jason@darkbot.net
