CONFIGURATION
Make sure you have an account set up for the bot first, if you don't go to msn.com and sign up for one.
- Open up default.conf.php and make the necessary changes.
- You can save the config file under a different name e.g.: mybot.conf.php
This can be used to start and run different bots from the same code.
A more detailed look at the configuration file can be found here.
USAGE
Starting:
Executee the bstart.php script via either a browser or a console. The bstart.php takes an additional optional argument for using different config files, this defaults to default this refers to the default.conf.php file, if you change the name ensure you leave .conf.php intact, and use the beginning part as the argument.
e.g.: bstart.php mybot
in your browser: bstart.php?mybot
Note: Blobsy 2 on windows utilises the WSH scripting features of windows to
launch its processes and this activity gets reported by some antivirus software
as suspicious virus activity due to WSH being spawned. You can safely ignore this
message and let blobsy run.
Stopping:
To stop bot, run bstop.php it takes several arguments, separated by a single space. First argument is the config name as used to start the bot, second is the delay in seconds to wait before signing out. Third is a new nick to be changed to and fourth is a broadcast message to be sent to all open conversations.
e.g.: bstop.php mybot 10 Bot:BeRightBack "i gotta go, bye"
in your browser.: bstop.php?mybot 10 Bot:BeRightBack "i gotta go, bye"
