IRCBot

IRCBot.java is a simple IRC bot library I made so as to help making IRC bots easier for users. The IRC bot library, however, does not house a "keep alive" block. That block is stored in the main.java.

IRCBot.java has been tested on the ORE IRC network (irc.openredstone.org), Freenode, Esper, and IRCnet.

I use Properties to import variables I need from the settings.properties file and set such variables to the IRCBot using my setter method.

Note: Currently this bot works only if you have a registered account, because authentication is a pain.

nick_bot

This is my custom IRC bot project. It is capable of doing a few things at the moment including send Slack messages, shorten URLs, and more.

• Implement mathematical functions (`calc 1*1) (Credit to https://github.com/uklimaschewski/EvalEx for the expression evaluator)
• Finalize URL shortener
• Post Slack messages
• Add an anti-spam with users.java
• Add an ArrayList for arguments under commandParser.
• Fetch UUID for a name.
• Fetch name history of a user.
• Implement a scheduler system.
• Implement a "remind me" system.
• Add an imgur reposter to non-imgur URLs.
• Add a logging system.
• Figure out a way to handle custom methods for a command
• Add a proper commandHandler system including trigger events
• Add a plugin system

If you have any more ideas on what I should add, just tell me!

Sample bot

Below is a sample bot I wrote that utilizes IRCBot.java. The point of IRCBot.java is to make it easier for beginners to make an IRC bot without having to deal with the headache-enducing buffers.

public class Sample {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    String server = "irc.your.domain";
    int port = 6667; // Your port
    String nick = "yournick";
    String channel = "#yourchannel";
    IRCBot BOT = new IRCBot(server, port, nick, channel);
    BOT.connect();

    String line = null;
    while ((line = BOT.readLine()) != null) {
      if (line.indexOf("PING") == 0) {                      // DO NOT REMOVE - Keep alive statement
        BOT.sendRaw("PONG " + line.substring(5));
      } else if (line.contains("blah")) {                   // What your bot is listening to
        BOT.sendRaw("PRIVMSG " + channel + " ahk...");      // What your bot responds with
      } else {
        System.out.println(line);                           // If prior conditions are not met, print
      }
    }
  }
}

This simple class is also provided within sample/.

Happy botting!
