A very unfriendly IRC bot.

B Naucler (mail@bnaucler.se)

Setup

1. Add your favorite insults, one per line to insults.txt (UTF8 encoding)
2. go get github.com/bnaucler/ernst
3. cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/bnaucler/ernst
4. go build -o mkdb/mkdb mkdb/mkdb.go
5. mkdb/mkdb insults.txt ernst.db
6. go build -o ernst *.go
7. ./ernst

You can use skymfer.txt instead of your own list if you want to be insulted in Swedish.

Usage

Insults are added with !skymf <insult> in the channel.
Number of insults are reported with !skymfstat(s).
Last insult spoken is removed from database with !srm.

Configuration options

Some options can be configured with !sset in the channel. For more extensive configuration, poke around in ernst.go and elib.go.

• rate (0-1000) chance of random insult triggering
• kdel (0-1000) delay per "keystroke" (in ms). Default: 100
• randel (0-1000) random delay per line (in ms). Default: 700
• dnrmem (0-20) number of insults to remember and avoid repetition. Default: 5

Dump database to file

1. go build -o dbdump/dbdump dbdump/dbdump.go
2. dbdump/dbdump ernst.db > insults.txt
