Cobalt is a talkative IRC bot intended as a modern-day replacement for Jason Hamilton's abandoned Darkbot.
Cobalt can respond to channel chatter with any string you like. By defining 'topics' using a simple wildcard syntax, cobalt can be made to be whatever you like; an IRC help bot, a human-like chatter bot, a quote-bot, or could perhaps just serve up bits of information you'd like to be able to easily reference on IRC. Topic responses can be randomized (via RDB) and may include a lengthy list of variables.
It's written from the ground up using XML::Simple and POE::Component::IRC and borrows no code at all from Darkbot.
Features
- Can speak in response to chat or randomly; responses can be very flexible (or even randomized)
- Online user management
- Darkbot data file compatibility (info2.db, randomstuff.ini, RDBs)
- SSL support via POE::Component::SSLify
- Simple XML-based configuration
