I have made a small modification to the PieSpy Social Network Bot from Jibbler

FTP support has been added, see the end of the config.ini file for the FTP details.  This modification, labelled PieSpy-0.4.1 (DeadEd) can be downloaded from http://deaded.com/betas/PieSpy-0.4.1-unofficial/

 

Hope you find it useful

AnnounceCaster 2.1 has been released.  This is an IRC SHOUTCast announcer bot.

 

Changes to this release:

• added versionInfo to AnnounceCasterConfig.xml to allow setting of custom version info used when someone does a WHOIS or CTCP version request on the bot (or relays)
• added rejoinOnKick to AnnounceCasterConfig.xml to allow the bot or relays to automatically try to rejoin a channel when they are kicked.  If a relay is kicked, it will tell the hub to send in a new relay.
• added allowInvites to AnnounceCasterConfig.xml to allow the bot or relays to accept invites.  When a relay is invited, it will tell the hub to send in a new relay.
• added a 2 second timeout for the SHOUTCast server query.  If the server info was configured badly, this would cause the bot itself to ping timeout - now it won't.

See more about AnnounceCaster from the IRC Bots menu above.  If you're in a hurry then you can download it here

AMcBain provided a small update for the CommandBot PircBot Demo. Now the CommandBot class will process all command classes even though one (or more) may throw an exception.

A new PircBot Demo has been added: CommandBot

A simple PircBot bot to show a quick and easy way to add multiple commands to a bot. This allows the main bot class to stay clutter free and each command has a private space to store information.

This is the very first user contributed PircBot demo, so many thanks to AMcBain for this one!

What does the PircBot Java API have in common with cereal? What happens when a Ruby fan has too much time on his hands? Oh, and don't forget a love of IRC ... you get a nutty Ruby IRC API and a whole bunch of related projects. Head over to http://cerealbot.org/ for a fresh bowl of IRC madness, served to you by Raws.

The PircBot Demo AuthWithBot has been updated.

There was some code in the constructor that had been copy-pasted from another demo that caused it to quit while trying to load a file that wasn't there. It actually took 273 downloads of that before someone actually questioned that. Thanks to Wicked for taking the time to report this.

There seems to be a bit more of a buzz around OSGi recently so I thought I would post the quick version of PPF that I "OSGI-fied" last year to draw some interest, not only for the other plugin developers, but also for myself ... call it kicking myself up the bum ;) Anyway, it's been sitting in the betas section on this site for for a while, note there is a tutorial available and feel free to drop by #deaded on irc.quakenet.org anytime as well.

Jibbler has released his second book (IRC Hacks being the first). No, this one is not IRC related, but it will make trying to have a conversation with Monty (his faithful bot) seem possible in comparison!

So, with a sly grin, Jibbler presents Impossible Sudoku
