Textfile Substitutions Last revised: March 08, 2002



TEXTFILE SUBSTITUTIONS


These %-variables can be inserted into help files, the banner, the MOTD,
and other text files. There are four variables that can be used to
format text:

  ------- ----------------------------------------------------------
  %b      display bold
  %v      display inverse
  %_      display underline
  %f      display flashing via telnet; bold underline via IRC
  ------- ----------------------------------------------------------

These variables will be interpreted by Eggdrop and replaced by their
respective values:

  ------- ----------------------------------------------------------
  %B      bot's nickname (i.e. "LamestBot")

  %V      current Eggdrop version (i.e. "eggdrop v1.8.4")

  %E      long form of %V (i.e. "Eggdrop v1.8.4 (C) 1997 Robey
          Pointer (C) 2010 Eggheads Development Team")

  %C      channels the bot is on (i.e. "#lamest, #botnetcentral")

  %A      whatever is set in the config file by 'set admin'

  %n      whatever is set in the config file by 'set network'

  %T      the current time (i.e. "15:00")

  %N      the current user's nickname (i.e. "Robey")

  %U      the current operating system the bot is running on

  %%      a percent sign ("%")
  ------- ----------------------------------------------------------

You can also encode messages which can only be read by people with
certain flags:

  %{+m} Only masters would see this. %{-}

  %{+A} Only people with the user flag A see this. %{-}

  %{+b} This is only displayed to users doing a remote '.motd' from
  another bot. %{-}

  %{+|m} Only channel masters would see this. %{-}

Other variables:

+----------------+------------------------------------------------------------+
| %{cols=N}      |   start splitting output into N columns                    |
+----------------+------------------------------------------------------------+
| %{cols=N/W}    |   same as above, but use a screen width of W               |
+----------------+------------------------------------------------------------+
| %{end}         |   end columnated or restricted (i.e. %{+m}) block          |
+----------------+------------------------------------------------------------+
| %{center}      |   center the following text (70 columns)                   |
+----------------+------------------------------------------------------------+
