A bot for Mac's Colloquy IRC client, allowing for automated message viewing.
If you're a user of OS X Colloquy IRC client, you might be interested to know that SeenBot is a new, free and open source seen bot available to use. This handy chat tool offers a great range of commands that users can employ to navigate the platform more easily. The commands include /seen [nick], which lets you find out if you've seen someone before; /seencount, which gives you the total number of records in the seen database; /seenpurge, which clears the seen database of all previous records; and /seendump which allows you to dump the seen database to a human readable text file.
If you're interested in installing the SeenBot plugin, here's what you need to do. Firstly, simply unzip the downloaded file. Secondly, move the extracted file to ~/Library/Application Support/Colloquy/PlugIns/. If this folder doesn't exist, you'll need to create it manually. Once the file is in place, you'll need to reload the plugin. If this is the first time you've installed the plugin, you'll need to go to Colloquy and type /reload plugins. If you've updated an existing plugin, or if the script fails to load, you should re-launch Colloquy.
It's worth bearing in mind that SeenBot is primarily for educational purposes, and is designed to show users how to use OS X built in Database Events with AppleScript. As a result, database events used this way can eat up some processor time if you're running Colloquy in a busy room as an event is recorded and the database saved for every user action in every room. To help mitigate this issue, you can turn the recordSpeaking Property off in the file.
