How to configure Unibot by editing the configuration file.

Introduction

To change the settings of unibot, changes need to made to its configuration file. The configuration file is called unibot.conf and is present in the application directory.

Details

Changing Bot Nickname

To change the bots nickname, the following section of the configuration file needs to be located:

#This is the nickname that the bot will use.
nick=unibot

Changing the text after the "=" sign will change the name the bot attempts to register on an IRC server.

Changing Server Address

To change the IRC server to which the bot connects, locate the following section of the configuration file:

#This is the server which the bot will connect to.
server=irc.efnet.org

Changing the text after the "=" sign.

Changing Server Port

To change the port on which the bot attempts to connect to the IRC server, locate the following section of the configuration file:

#This is the port the bot will connect on.
port=6667

Changing the text after the "=" sign.

Joining Channels

To add, change or delete channel(s) the bot joins, locate the following section of the configuration file:

#This is the channel the bot will join.
channel=#euss
channel=#test2

Multiple entries can be added using the above format. Ensure that there is at least one channel entry. Otherwise, the application will crash on startup.

Running in the background

The following section of the configuration file allows you specify if application should run silently:

#Should we run in the background?
silent=false

If this is true then the application will start and run in the background. No interface will be shown. If this is set to false then a GUI will be shown which allows you to see server messages and conversation in joined channels, as well as allowing you to chat to any joined channels. This option should either be true or false.
