I own a channel on an irc server for the clan i am co-founder of and i have been searching for a good chat-bot (ala Monty perhaps) which runs on linux. I have had no luck so far, though I came across J-Alice (http://j-alice.sourceforge.net); i downloaded and extracted it, but found no way to run it, let alone connect it to the irc channel.
I would prefer a bot which comes with a database of responses, and which can learn from anyone; even if they are not authorized to the bot, since not all who visit the channel know how to login and such.
I had already installed eggdrop, and configured it to run, but had
found no chat bot tcl, until now. I am now using the Alice bot tcl..
But there's a problem.. (figures).. It responds in pm, but not in
the main channel. When i configured alice.tcl, it mentioned i had
to set do " .chanset #channel +alice ", though when i do so, i get
no confirmation nor does alice respond in the main chat. i also
tried it with "!" instead of ".", but to no avail.
