Textfile Substitutions Last revised: March 08, 2002
Textfile Substitutions¶
These %-variables can be inserted into help files, the banner, the MOTD, and other text files. There are four variables that can be used to format text:
%b |
display bold |
%v |
display inverse |
%_ |
display underline |
%f |
display flashing via telnet; bold underline via IRC |
These variables will be interpreted by Eggdrop and replaced by their respective values:
%B |
bot’s nickname (i.e. “LamestBot”) |
%V |
current Eggdrop version (i.e. “eggdrop v1.9.5”) |
%E |
long form of %V (i.e. “Eggdrop v1.9.5 (C) 1997 Robey Pointer (C) 2010 Eggheads Development Team”) |
%C |
channels the bot is on (i.e. “#lamest, #botnetcentral”) |
%A |
whatever is set in the config file by ‘set admin’ |
%n |
whatever is set in the config file by ‘set network’ |
%T |
the current time (i.e. “15:00”) |
%N |
the current user’s nickname (i.e. “Robey”) |
%U |
the current operating system the bot is running on |
%% |
a percent sign (“%”) |
You can also encode messages which can only be read by people with certain flags:
%{+m} Only masters would see this. %{-}
%{+A} Only people with the user flag A see this. %{-}
%{+b} This is only displayed to users doing a remote ‘.motd’ from another bot. %{-}
%{+|m} Only channel masters would see this. %{-}
Other variables:
%{cols=N} |
start splitting output into N columns |
%{cols=N/W} |
same as above, but use a screen width of W |
%{end} |
end columnated or restricted (i.e. %{+m}) block |
%{center} |
center the following text (70 columns) |
