YAPB is an IRC bot that offers the capability to integrate modules, enhancing its functionality.
One of the best things about YAPB is that it can be easily expanded by adding your own PHP modules. This means that you can create a bot that matches your specific needs and requirements.
YAPB can run in the foreground or background, and it provides debugging information on the screen when running in the foreground. With YAPB, you get a fully featured IRC bot that is easy to set up and use.
To use YAPB, you'll need a server with SSH login and the ability to execute shell scripts. You can choose between a debug on-screen output or a normal background process. However, it's worth noting that YAPB requires the "Safe-Mode" in PHP to be turned off; otherwise, the bot won't work.
YAPB is highly extensible by other modules, making it a perfect platform for your own modules. While creating your own modules is not very difficult, you will require some basic PHP knowledge.
To install YAPB, you simply need to create a new folder for your bot, create a new folder inside that named "modules," put the bot.php file into the bot folder, and edit the main options in the bot.conf file to fit your needs. After that, you can start the bot with the "php -q ./bot.php" command.
The latest release of YAPB includes a number of improvements, including a rewrite of various code, better documentation, and a new required "system-module" with new functions. Plus, it comes with an example module, making it even easier to get started.
