Mozbot/Documentation/Modules

Installing a new mozbot module is quite easy. First, copy the .bm file (e.g. Foo.bm) into the BotModule/ directory. Next, on IRC, authenticate with your bot as its administrator (the installation instructions walk you through this), and tell it to load the module using the load command.

<IRCMonkey> <kbd>auth IRCMonkey password</kbd>
<mozbot> Hi IRCMonkey!
<IRCMonkey> <kbd>load Foo</kbd>
<mozbot> Loaded module 'Foo'.

You can then find out more about the module using the help command.
