05:44 <scuba323> I hate to be that n00b but I am totally new to Ruby. I really want to make a simple bot but I have no idea what the hell to even do -_- Could someone message me through it by chance?

05:44 <leftylink> have you read https://github.com/cinchrb/cinch ? there is the simple hello world example there

05:46 <scuba323> I think I just ran it hah. I will read that again though. I just don't even know how to run Ruby files. Should have googled first. Sorry to waste time thanks anyways leftylink

05:46 <scuba323> !

05:47 <leftylink> if you did just run it, the default behavior is to connect to #cinch-bots on this server

05:47 <leftylink> so you can check to see if ti shows up there

05:48 <scuba323> How can I change the bots name

05:48 <leftylink> in that configure block, add a line that reads like this

05:48 <leftylink> c.nick = "mybot"

05:49 <scuba323> Thank you so much! Happy coding! :)

05:51 <leftylink> weird, but ok

21:12 <Donovan> bot.config.prefix is the current plugin prefix, yes?

21:12 <dominikh> uhm, no

21:13 <dominikh> for one, it's be bot.config.plugins.prefix. second, it's the global plugin prefix. a prefix, or match, might overwrite it locally

21:13 <Donovan> I've got a listen_to :message, but I want to exclude commands

21:14 <dominikh> the 100% correct way would be to ask every plugin "does this look like a command to you?"

21:15 <Donovan> hmm

21:15 <dominikh> of course if you're in control of all plugins and know they don't set their own prefix, you can use that option. but of course there can still be matches that do not use the prefix

21:15 <Donovan> yeah

21:15 <Donovan> mulling it over

21:16 <Donovan> for testing, I'll use bot.config.plugins.prefix but will need to make it more robust later
