What Copper Can Do
Copper has the usual protection bot abilities to kick and ban users for
attempting to take over the channel by exploiting problems in IRC. He
also monitors the channel for the use of inappropriate words, and has a
party line inside him. Copper can be made to speak and move from inside
like a puppet, and has a built-in messaging system for leaving notes to
other channel users.
Copper has a built-in IRC-looking feature than can be reached in one of
three ways:
- DCC chatting Copper (/dcc chat copper)
- Asking Copper to DCC chat you (/msg copper chatme)
- Opening a telnet connection to port 3333 of underdog.nmt.edu,
either with a telnet or a MUD client (a MUD client will look much
nicer). Note that you don't need to be on IRC, or even have your IRC
client running, to connect this way.
There is a little-used file system in Copper, you can get to it by
typing .files in the party line. It has built-in help.
You can send notes to other users with Copper, type .help note in
the party line to see how to send one, or /msg copper help note
from IRC.
Copper can do a few more cool tricks like channels in the party line,
and even linking up to other eggdrop bots (not currently used), but it's
best to figure these things out for yourself! Type .help in the
party line or /msg copper help in IRC to get a list of available
commands; every command has its own help as well.
