ProgramFOX

heh

overactor

>>translate nl en Is niet moeilijk, nederlands.

FOX 9000

12:09 PM

@overactor Is not difficult, Dutch .

Zizouz212

>>translate fr en Pourquoi y-a t-il des personnes bizarres ici?

FOX 9000

@Zizouz212 Why does it -a strange people here?

-_-

lol

It's-a me, Fox9000!

12:11 PM

>>stop

FOX 9000

@ProgramFOX Bot terminated.

overactor

@ProgramFOX Okay, the recursive paths have been pushed

ProgramFOX

nice job!

overactor

Each MetaModule now remembers where it is relative to the project root

just add the relative path to that and boom

it's relative to Module.py's postition again

pass that on to the constructor where it gets saved again

FOX 9000

Bot started.

ProgramFOX

12:19 PM

Now testing builtins.admin.

>>disable

FOX 9000

@ProgramFOX Bot disabled, run >>enable to enable it again.

overactor

btw, you should rewrite command_listcommands so it uses the functionality built into teh modules

ProgramFOX

>>enable

FOX 9000

@ProgramFOX Bot enabled.

overactor

same for help

ProgramFOX

12:20 PM

@overactor That's already done, but command_help is still waiting for that.

overactor

ah

ProgramFOX

>>listcommands

FOX 9000

@ProgramFOX Commands: alive, ban, delete, disable, enable, help, listcommands, random, randomchoice, randomint, shuffle, stop, translate, translationchain, translationswitch, unban, utc, xkcd, xkcdrandomnumber

ProgramFOX

^ as you can see

overactor

nice

ProgramFOX

12:20 PM

>>ban 118010

FOX 9000

@ProgramFOX User @FOX9000 has been banned.

overactor

I can do the help command

ProgramFOX

>>unban 118010

FOX 9000

@ProgramFOX User @FOX9000 has been unbanned.

ProgramFOX

>>stop

FOX 9000

12:21 PM

@ProgramFOX Bot terminated.

ProgramFOX

@overactor That would be nice! The help data for the commands hasn't been passed in the module files yet, you can take them from CommandHelp.py.

overactor

Will do

ProgramFOX

leave the Shadow's Den help data there for now, I'll remove that soon

that will be the biggest refactoring

but I'll wait with that until the help is ready, to avoid having huge merge conflicts

overactor

okay

ProgramFOX

builtins.admin -> pushed

overactor

12:27 PM

Bot started.

crashed

Bot started.

Returns a list of all commands. Syntax: >>listcommands

Muhahahaahahaaa!

utils have help now

try it @ProgramFOX

ProgramFOX

ProgramFOX

overactor

Boom baby!

ProgramFOX

>>help help

>>alive

overactor

12:34 PM

I killed it

more refactoring to do

ProgramFOX

Who owns ParrotBot?

overactor

@ParrotBot hello

Monty Python - Dead Parrot

Yo :)

You have a bot too?

Parrot Bot's me parrot sidekick!

Except for he won't be playing fun and games...

I need to give it rep to get into chat, then wait for caching and the stuff...

overactor

12:41 PM

caching is always to blame

ProgramFOX

@Zizouz212 Oh, don't forget to create a network profile for ParrotBot once it has 20 rep (log on to stackexchange.com), because if you don't, the bot cannot log on.

Zizouz212

Yep :)

ProgramFOX

I found this out when KarmaBot didn't want to log on, and the caching took waaay too long.

Zizouz212

It's annoying how I have to switch out...

In fact, let me do that before I forget. See ya in a couple minutes :)

ProgramFOX

Switch? Just open Parrot's account in Private Browsing or Incognito window.

overactor

12:45 PM

Bot started.

ProgramFOX

>>help help

overactor

@ProgramFOX Shows information about the chat bot, or about a specific command. Syntax: >>help [ command ]

ProgramFOX

>>help stop

overactor

@ProgramFOX Owner-only command. Stops the bot. Syntax: >>stop

try them all, they should be there

ProgramFOX

>>help ban

overactor

12:46 PM

@ProgramFOX Owner-only command. Bans a user from using the bot. Syntax: >>ban user_id

ProgramFOX

>>help xkcd

overactor

@ProgramFOX Shows the specified xkcd comic. Syntax: >>xkcd comic_id

ProgramFOX

>>help notexisting

overactor

@ProgramFOX The command you want to look up, does not exist.

W00t!

ProgramFOX

:D

Zizouz212

12:47 PM

Hey!

Now I just need to get some votes on my parrot's answer :)

overactor

I stopped the bot and pushed the changes

A: Can I Open Source a software for a particular operating system?

Your reasoning for that would actually violate what Open Source is about. Look at this: No. The Open Source Definition specifies that Open Source licenses may not discriminate against persons or groups. Giving everyone freedom means giving evil people freedom, too. Fortunately, there are othe...

overactor

@ProgramFOX Shadow's Den could probably be a MetaModule, right?

FOX 9000

Bot started.

overactor

>>help

FOX 9000

12:50 PM

@overactor I'm FOX 9000, ProgramFOX's chatbot. You can find the source code on GitHub. You can get a list of all commands by running >>listcommands, or you can run >>help command to learn more about a specific command.

overactor

>>listcommands

ProgramFOX

@overactor Hmm... I don't think so as it's for one purpose.

FOX 9000

@overactor Commands: alive, ban, delete, disable, enable, help, listcommands, random, randomchoice, randomint, shuffle, stop, translate, translationchain, translationswitch, unban, utc, xkcd, xkcdrandomnumber

ProgramFOX

I've made builtins a MetaModule.

overactor

12:51 PM

@ProgramFOX Does it not have a few minigames?

Zizouz212

I have a syntax error somewhere!

What?

Oh

a long lost comma

overactor

@ProgramFOX That's not a bad idea

Zizouz212

-_-

overactor

@Zizouz212 heh

Zizouz212

Hate commas in dictionaries...

Always forget them :/

ProgramFOX

12:51 PM

@overactor Hm, that's true. Good point.

I'll see what I end up with when I refactor that part.

overactor

yeah

What's next?

Zizouz212

Grrr, another lost comma

ProgramFOX

The next step is to add something to Module that can make sure a module can be informed about all chat events, if it needs that.

Zizouz212

HTTPError?

overactor

@ProgramFOX ah, add a callback?

ProgramFOX

12:53 PM

yep

working on that now

overactor

well, modules can access Client via Chatbot, no?

ProgramFOX

they can, but there is no need to bind two watchers to a client

I'll call the module-on_events from the Chatbot on_event.

overactor

@ProgramFOX And they can implement it in the Module file?

ProgramFOX

yes, they can

overactor

can they also add a list of events they want to listen to?

ProgramFOX

12:56 PM

that can be done with a simple if statement

so, yes

overactor

do MetaModules need it? no right?

ProgramFOX

I don't think so.

overactor

Does Shadow's Den need this?

btw, is it just me or did Shog9 bamboozle me there:

A: Will Open Sourcing Stack Overflow Destroy Our Business Model?

There's been a lot of talk here already. A LOT of talk. But it's all just that - talk. There's only ONE WAY to answer this question accurately, to peer into an alternate reality and send back the hard truth... Since someone was optimistic enough to post a bounty seeking an updated view, I felt ...

?

ProgramFOX

@overactor Yes, it does.
