Dekadent

Dekadent is an IRC bot, written in C, which offers a wide selection of features. These include controlled user access, autoop, autovoice, a shitlist, autojoin, different configurations per user and per channel, and many more. For me, this bot has been a great way to learn C - I've had less than nine months of experience with the language, and the best way to improve is to work on a project that challenges you. Given my fondness for IRC, I decided to develop a bot that would meet my needs in this area.

I have released Dekadent with incomplete features, as I don't have the chance to code it regularly, and wanted to address any bugs or issues that arise over time. This release also provides me with feedback that will help me to develop Dekadent further in the future.

This version (0.9) includes a range of features, although I acknowledge that there are many more to be added in the future (see the TODO file). Features in this version include user access, autoop, autovoice, a shitlist, web news, and different user/channel configuration. The bot also supports dcc chat (partyline) and a news system.

It's important to note that Dekadent won't replace Eggdrop, as it's not a full-fledged IRC bot - I'm still a relatively inexperienced coder, and Eggdrop has been developed by experienced coders over the course of ten or more years.

In terms of recent updates, the most recent version of Dekadent includes a bug fix on !join (where the bot sent a message to sdata.target instead of the partyline), a bug fix on !deluser (deleted users will now be cleared from memory), a bug fix on !reload and !rehash, and changes to web.c (!web dbot) to work with the new dbots' site.
