system dat
The system.dat controls and stores some information for running the bot. In this section I'll break it down.
If you open the system.dat you'll see the following sections: [botinfo] [system] [statprices] [style] and [version].
This section keeps the bot owner (person who has access to a few more commands than normal players), the channel the bot sits in and displays all the messages to, the name of the bot, and the bot's password that it sends to nickserv upon connecting. All of this information should be generated the first time you run the bot.
Note, you can have multiple bot owners in version 1.2 and beyond. To do so add them like such:
bot.owner=name.name.name.name
In other words, a name followed by a period, another name. Don't add a period to the end of the last name.
This section controls a lot of the in-game functions and limits such as, but not limited to, base # of orbs for normal monsters and bosses, how many orbs players start with, the name of the currency and the time between battles in minutes.
botType=
IRC, DCCchat or TWITCH. This tells the bot where to display messages and accept commands. If you have a lot of players and don't want limits on the # of monsters that can appear in battles, use DCCchat mode* (your players will need a client that can do DCC Chat connections). If you are trying to run the bot on Twitch (which is not recommended) set this to TWITCH mode which slows the speed of output down and makes everything output to the channel (no private messages). IRC mode is default and is the most recommended mode for most people/bot owners.
AllowColors=
true or false. If set to false then all colors will be stripped from the messages that are output to the players. Set to true by default.
AllowBold=
true or false. If set to false then all bold will be stripped from the messages that are output to the players. Set to true by default.

true or false. If set to true it'll show the new battle starting messages for orb fountains and bosses. If set to false it'll show the old one.

currency=
If you don't want players to accumulate "red orbs" you can change it to whatever you want. Note, you can't change "black orbs", only the red. For example, you can change this to "exp" or "coins" or "sheep skins" and it'll still work.

This section controls the Auction House. It will be automatically generated and updated if the auction house is enabled.
This section is used to store the current system.dat version. If your version doesn't match what the version is expected by the bot, the bot will check through your system.dat and add the new sections as necessary. Don't mess with this manually, even if you think you have the latest version.
