I added a Color utility class to botzilla's cls/ dir on github just now, and updated the botzilla.class to include it. This means that any plugin can use it. It's an overloaded php5 class, so you'd have to convert it yourself to work with anything under if you still are. ...
Checking changes in to github is fast and easy, and I hope to get involved with more people on other projects using git VC (as the challenge for me is going to be keeping track on what changes to pull). This public source control makes publishing a no-brainer convenience method in ...
Friend and (private work instance) plugin contributor John Obelenus pushed me into setting botzilla onto github tonight, after hearing about the mess that I made of my source control between botzilla versions 0.2 and 0.3 . I made two repos,  the basic botzilla core with operator and register plugins, and another ...
alarm.class.php had recently surpassed sweetass for the most downloaded plugin on this site. Noting that, I figured I'd do the right thing and fix it!  The bug had to do with same-day alarms after a restart; they would queue up in the past and never fire. One way around that ...
I prepared a small proof of concept for how code swapping could be handled in the next release of botzilla. When I say "swapping", I really mean making changes to a module class file and reloading it, or simply loading a brand new file, without restarting the bot. load() and ...
It was a long time coming for this very simple plugin that reads messages from a directory -- allowing  scripts and various automated processes to finally have their say in the channels. The plugin couldn't be simpler: every so often (you decide), a directory is scanned for files, and if ...
It looks like my earlier statements about having fixed timed events were incorrect. There were some flukey things that sometimes made them work, but not cosistently. If your plugin used the BZ_ANYONE permission, or appeared first in the plugin list, then they appeared to be ok. I've reworked the main botzilla ...
The previous dictionary and thesaurus plugin was broken pretty much right after it was released, and I never went back to fix it. This one will break eventually, too; when reference.com does another redesign. Oh wells. this one works for now! Grab it here!
