How to setup the IRC bot
Setting up the IRC bot is a breeze. It can be done in one of two ways, I will explain both below.
Via the BR Interface
- Open up BR, goto the BR config section, enter in the IRC server name, server port, and the room to join.
- Click on Enable IRC Streaming
- Click on Save Settings
- Disconnect FROM the FDS if connected (File->FDS Disconnect) and reconnect (File->FDS Connect)
Now, if you entered everything right, your bot should be in that room, simple type !help for a list of available commands.
Via the Config File
With BR .Net closed, open up the BRConfig.ini that is in the program directory
Set the following items in the ini
- IRCStreamServer=irc server
- IRCStreamPort=irc server port
- IRCStreamRoom=Room to join
- IRCStreamNick=Nick to use on the server (for auto voicing etc...)
- IRCStreamNickPass=nicks password if registered
- EnableIRCStream=True ( to enable it )
Save the ini file, and close the file
Now, reopen BR .Net, goto File->FDS connect, and if you put in the correct information, your bot should connect, join the room and identify the cooresponding nick, type !help to see the available commands
