sysadminjeroen / buttbot Goto Github PK

As far as I can tell, it's not possible to have the bot do the equivalent of

/msg nickserv identify <password>

Which renders it useless on +v channels. It would be nice to have. I've dug 
around a bit in the source, but I only know basic perl, so no luck...

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. say something
2. butt
3. there is no three

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
butt

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
buttbot v1.00 on gnuButt with libcbutt compiled --with-butts

Please provide any additional information below.
the surrealist humour mechanism that buttbot employs to bring conversation
back down to earth faults when buttbot is butting too often.

perhaps use an algorithm that increases butt frequency proportionally with
number of users / posts per minute so that butts are limited based on
channel size / chattyness. aim for around one or two butts per day for
maximum effect.

Does not identify mirc control codes: ^b ^i ^k0,0 etc. Occasionally 
buttifying things breaks the text.

Should it be stripped or preserved ? Easier to strip but probably nicer to 
preserve the horror.

Should try to rejoin the channel with exponential backoff before giving up?

Perhaps after kicking it should be quiet for a bit ?

No download is available under the "downloads" tab.

Twitter is infinitely more web 2.0 than IRC, so if buttbot would hang out
there and occasionally buttify everybody who is following him, it would be
infinitely neater.

Buttification does not preserve punctuation.

Simple fix would be to in when buttify count punctuation to either side of 
word with a regex, and use left and right controls to TeX::Hyphen to 
ignore them.

Still unsure what to do about words with punctuation midway through. It's 
hard to split on things and preserve them at the same time.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Give birth to an Argue in the Philippines
2. Be a terrible country.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Argue should move out of the Philippines. I currently see him in it.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
butts

Please provide any additional information below.

> What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. someone says iPhone
2. buttbot's random numbers kick in
3. buttbot chooses to butt the word iPhone

> What is the expected output?
iButt

> What do you see instead?
butt

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. buttbot butts a random message that is a url OR someone invokes !butt 
on a URL
2. buttbot outputs a url that has been butted and is unusable and goes 
against the spirit of buttbot
3. that's it really

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected behavior is for buttbot to avoid urls when choosing random 
buttings and select a different quote to butt.  If invoked with the url on 
a butt command it should pm the user with an error.

If buttbot chooses to buttify a line that does not contain words suitable
for butting, ie. only punctuation characters, it will just return the line
unedited. It should probably just not say anything in that case.

Buttbot splits IRC lines by whitespace instead of interpreting a parameter
starting with : to extend to the end of the line. The buttified array of
words is joined together with single spaces, so whatever whitespace was
between words originally is lost.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
0. < Jaffy> Why am I writing algorithms on postit notes?
1. < pandabot> Why am I writing pandagorithms on postit notes?
2. < Daniel> pandagorithms :)
3. < pandabot> pandaagorithms :)
4. < Knickerless> pandabot, you're retarded.

Currently frequency is hard coded into script, and there are some 
exceptions. Need general pattern matching and random occurance.

As well as pause between picking victim and butting them.

Perhaps a grace period after butting too might be an option.

Will happliy try to buttify CTCP messages, and will not strip control 
codes from !butt requests.

CTCP requests are marked by \1 around message.

People always kick buttbot from #webcomics, so it should be possible to run
buttbot from within irssi, because I am sure that the #webcomics guys would
not dare to actually kick me.

Here is a bit of text about irssi scripts that I did not actually read
http://juerd.nl/site.plp/irssiscripttut

An example of bad behaviour:
[17:16:47] <person> Civilisation: Beyond Earth trailer :D
[17:16:51] <buttbot> neanias: Civilisation: Beyond Earth trailer :BUTT

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would expect it to buttify a word, rather than part of a smiley.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. type butt foo
2. watch stuff get butted
3. wonder why you didn't have to type !butt foo

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: nothing  Saw instead: buttification

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
The one running in #cobol circa 04:36 EDT on 20 Nov 2009

Please provide any additional information below.
conf.yml specifies the command prefix as ! which seems to be ignored
i would suggest fixing this, then changing the prefix to [.!] because 
people will type .butt foo and wonder why nothing happened

Why was !butt removed from IRC channels and moved into PMs? Couldn't there
be a master admin command that enables or disables !butt in channels
(defaulting on of course) instead of it being hardcoded disabled at compile
time?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. run buttbot
2. try to use any command from
http://code.google.com/p/buttbot/wiki/AdminCommands except !join and !leave
3. profit?

All of the admin commands (except join and leave) were removed in r86 with
no explanation as you can clearly see here:
