From TibiaTek Wiki

The main purpose of the channel is to find help about TibiaTek Bot, as in how to properly download, install, configure, use and update it.

One of our objectives for the #tibiatekbot IRC channel is to create a fun, lively, friendly, safe community for everyone to enjoy. To that end, we have unfortunately found it necessary to enforce certain rules.

Remember, anyone capable and willing to help is of course welcome.

Before asking a question, read below under the title "Before You Ask".

Before You Ask

Before asking a technical question do the following:

1. Try to find an answer by reading the TibiaTek Bot Manual.
2. Try to find an answer by searching the posts of the forum.
3. Try to find an answer by searching the Web.
4. Try to find an answer by inspection or experimentation.
5. If you're a programmer, try to find an answer by reading the source code.

• Prepare your question. Think it through. Hasty-sounding questions get hasty answers, or none at all. The more you do to demonstrate that having put thought and effort into solving your problem before seeking help, the more likely you are to actually get help. It's OK to be ignorant; it's not OK to play stupid.
• Never assume you are entitled to an answer. You are not; you aren't, after all, paying for the service. You will earn an answer, if you earn it, by asking a substantial question ? one that implicitly contributes to the experience of the community rather than merely passively demanding knowledge from others.
• Describe the symptoms of your problem or bug carefully and clearly.
• Describe the environment in which it occurs (machine, OS, application, whatever).
• Describe the research you did to try and understand the problem before you asked the question.
• Describe the diagnostic steps you took to try and pin down the problem yourself before you asked the question.
• Describe any possibly relevant recent changes in your computer or software configuration.

How To's

This is a list of all the available commands.

Change Nickname

The TibiaTek Bot Built-In IRC Client automatically generates a generic nickname for you. Because of this you might want to change your auto-generated nickname to a more personal one.

Type /nick <nicknamehere>

Example: /nick Master_Of_All

Note: nicknames cannot contain spaces, use underscores or dashes (-) instead.

You can also set a default nickname via the Constants Editor by modifying the IRCNickname variable. Refer to the Constants Editor wiki page for reference on how to use it.

Send a Private Message

To send a private message through IRC, you must remember that the name of the person is <IRCNickname>@IRC. Example: SonicTTB@IRC.

Important: your Tibia Character Name cannot be seen by others, it's masked as <YourIRCNickname>@IRC for others. This also applies to your IP, it cannot be traced.

Quit the IRC Connection

Type &irc quit

Join Another Channel

Type /join #<nameofthechannel>

Example: /join #ttbespanol

Note: you can only join a maximum of 3 channels via the TibiaTek Bot Built-in IRC Client.

Say an action

Type /me <action>

Example: TTBHunter150: /me slaps Cameri around with a large trout

Result: TTBHunter150 slaps Cameri around with a large trout

If no-one answers we suggest you ask again 15 to 20 minutes later.

Problems with other individuals

General

• We encourage individuals to share a limited amount of personal information, just enough to help us feel that you are a real person.
• We advise individuals not to share too much personal information, as this is the internet after all, and there are some dangerous people out there. Please be careful NOT to share your Tibian account information on this channel (this includes your character names, guild(s) that you belong to, etc).
• Disrespect and intolerance towards other people is NOT acceptable, and will result in measures being taken against any offenders.

These actions will be taken at the sole discretion of the Channel Operators. You may be banned outright for breaking freenode network policy.
