WinBot lives again!

Hi everyone Smile

I've finally got around to making winbot open source.

WinBot is an open source windows IRC bot written in delphi and C++, which some of you may remember from days of yore (e.g. 2004) back when it was popular and well known. Since then i kind of let the project vanish off the face of the earth when i stopped using windows, however, i am now making the source code available to anyone who wants it. Its available under BSD license, this means you can fork it, hack about with it, and even charge for it if you want. Feel free to do with it as you will, just make sure you give proper credit.

I am also offering all the old versions for download again, these are precompiled versions with installers, as they used to be, the last stable version before development stopped was 2.7

PLEASE NOTE: I WILL NOT BE RELEASING ANY NEW VERSIONS. This is simply so that other people can make something of my abandoned projects Smile

Have fun!

You can find the winbot source code, and all old versions at http://www.winbot.org or http://www.winbot.net -- .co.uk domain to be re-forwarded as soon as jiggy re-appears.

Most , if not all ircd's do not send any kind of a message to normal users when a whois command is sent. Only for ircops. So your sol there.

Hate to continue going off topic here, but there is a module for UnrealIRCd that allows users to do what catgoesmoo is asking for.

is there any chance that you could let us download every script you have?

WinBot is a great bot. It is simple for new user to use. It would be great if there was more scripts for it though.

the winbot script language is said to be "simillar" to perl, which i have some experience with, but it is not perl. I want to be able to write some very basic scripts but am unsure how to.
for example a script that can repeat back what has been said to it, $1 gives the first word $2 the second etc, but how do i get the whole sentance?
is there any information on how to use this language? basic commands available etc?
