The wizard + handles this for the first part. After that, I guess you have to + learn about supybot (I don't know enough yet...). If the plugin is + loaded, it is active on ALL channels the bot is on.

Hopefully Supybot +expert users can enlighten me as to better ways to do things. + +In particular, supybot has a large configuration system, which I know +nothing about. It may be worth hooking MeatBot into that system. + |
