Hey everyone!
Kon version 1.5.1 is now up and ready for anyone who wants to download it. This version doesn’t add a whole lot but it fixes an issue with the ident and Real Name of the bot. The only other thing it does is add a /MSG command that allows the bot owner to message a non-channel (i.e. Chanserv, Nickserv, other users, stuff like that).
Kon seems to be attracting a lot more attention lately. I first just want to say thanks to everyone who has downloaded and tried it out. Thanks to those who sent me email with suggestions on what to do with the bot. I do appreciate it. With that said, I just wanted to say real quick that the IRC side of Kon is pretty lacking. When I first wrote the bot I never imagined it to be on par with something like mIRC or any other full IRC client. It was really just programmed to be a chatterbot. So please keep that in mind when you find that the bot is lacking something on the IRC side (like being able to auto-perform commands). I’ll add what I can when I have the time.
In the next version I’d like to add some kind of perform that will let the bot automatically join a bunch of channels and perform commands (like identifying to chanserv and nickserv). I don’t know when the next version will come though, so please be patient. :)
With all that said, here’s the links:
