#6 perform

[Mafriki Prower]

This is for r1, but there's no r1 group...

Perform's still broken.

I've tried single commands, and more than 4.
Differnet formats:
"msg <nick> <msg>"
"//msg <nick> <msg>"
".msg <nick> <msg>"

I have no idea if changing it from the example "msg
<nick> <bot>" would make a difference with a pIRCbot,
but I tried them anyway cuz of mIRC knowledge.

Nope the perform works you have to use raw commands not mIRC
or any other irc client style commands.
The correct commandsyntax for your msg to a nick is "privmsg
nick :message"

So why did you not put that in the config or readme?

You do realize not many people know that IRC has raw
commands if they use mIRC or the like?

Making stuff easy to use should be fairly high on your list
of "to-do".

Either way, glad that's sorted.

I disagree with you. Just because a major irc client uses a
cmd syntax that differs from the rfc should not be the
reason for other clients to copy that syntax. Besides it
maybe pretty difficult to code different cmd syntax for irc
commands into the bot and maybe thats a matter of beliefs.

A major one and many hundreds of other clients.

But that wasn't my point. My point is that it's the more
used way of privmsging and not many people know about raws.

You could have alteast put an example in the config.xml

This has nothing to do with what you know, it has to do with
user-friendliness. It's what makes a program good.

To build the full bot first (with x amount of features) and
THEN do the full help/readme/faq is a lot harder than slowly
building that help file as you make the things.

Then again maybe you don't plan on a help file at all and
just want to answer every single question people have for
"how to do x"?

I got your point but like i said: it's a matter of beliefs.
As for the examples and the docs: ask suls not me *shrugs*

yeah guys, i know that the documentation is messy. but i
think it's better to implement first the features in the
alpha releases and after that working on the documentation
and fixing major bugs in the betas.
and btw this is an opensource project so please feel free to
help me making the documentation..
