Step 1) Get the latest pyspades version (For help with this, look here).
Step 2) Go into config.txt and customize it to your likings. Then, find the section of it that looks like this:
- Code: Select all
"irc" : {
"enabled" : false,
"nickname" : "pyspades",
"username" : "pyspades",
"realname" : "pyspades server bot",
"server" : "irc.quakenet.org",
"port" : 6667,
"channel" : "#pyspades.bots",
"password" : "",
"commandprefix" : ".",
"chatprefix" : ""
I will explain what each thing means and what you should change it to.
- Code: Select all
"irc" : {
"enabled" : true, <---Set this to true, obviously.
"nickname" : "pyspades", <---The name/nick of the bot
"username" : "pyspades", <---What the bot should be authed as.
"realname" : "pyspades server bot", <---Realname, only shows when you type /whois <nick>
"server" : "irc.quakenet.org", <---Server for the IRC, only change if you are advanced.
"port" : 6667, <---Don't change
"channel" : "#pyspades.bots", <---Channel that the bot should join (Example would be #AoS, don't do that, make it something like #Thisisachannel)
"password" : "", <---If there is a password to your channel, put it there.
"commandprefix" : "!", <---Prefix that you will put before each command from the IRC (!ban PXYC Epicness)
"chatprefix" : "." <---Prefix that you put if you want to broadcast a message to the server (.Hello everyone!)
Step 3)Now, go to http://webchat.quakenet.org and type in the channel that you put in the config.txt for channel, and make your nick whatever you want. It is what people will see when you broadcast to the server, though, so make it something people know you by. (Join before the bot)
Step 4) Save the config and run the server. Make sure everything format wise is good and untouched. If you get any weird errors, just check your formatting. If you can't figure it out, come here.
Step 5) Once the bot joins the channel, go ahead and try out the commands. Make sure you remember the command prefix and chat prefix.
Step 6) If you want to be automatically OPd in the channel, check out QuakeNet's guide on how to get Q, auth, and use the commands. If your server is just temporary, or you are the only one that is going to be in the channel, don't bother.
Thanks for reading, hope I helped,
