Mubot, A Marking U Bot.

Status // Version

Chat

See src/mubot.coffee for full documentation.

Quick Installation

npm install hubot-mubot --save

This must be executed from within the directory where you installed hubot. Please read the Full instalation since you should probably edit the package.json file which is in that same directory.

Full Instalation

If you do not already have nodejs installed do that now like so: (For trouble shooting see: Installing node.js)

sudo apt-get install curl
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup | bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

If you do not already have hubot installed do that now like so: (I entered 'irc' as my adapter NOT the default)

npm install -g hubot coffee-script yo generator-hubot
mkdir -p /path/to/mubot
cd /path/to/mubot
yo hubot

-THIS STEP IS NEEDED- From within the directory that you ran yo hubot run: (Inside your /path/to/mubot)

npm install hubot-mubot --save

Then edit your external-scripts.json file and add hubot-mubot. Afterwords my file looks like this.

[
  "hubot-mubot",
  "hubot-diagnostics",
  "hubot-help",
  "hubot-heroku-keepalive",
  "hubot-google-images",
  "hubot-google-translate",
  "hubot-pugme",
  "hubot-maps",
  "hubot-redis-brain",
  "hubot-rules",
  "hubot-shipit",
  "hubot-youtube"
]
 

To set your initial balance see Troubleshooting.

Starting your mubot

If during setup of your hubot you selected the irc adapter as i did then this is how you would launch your mubot:

HUBOT_ADAPTER=irc HUBOT_IRC_SERVER=irc.swiftirc.net HUBOT_IRC_ROOMS="#AxE" HUBOT_IRC_NICK="Mubot" HUBOT_IRC_UNFLOOD="true" bin/hubot -a irc

Alternatively you can add export statements in your /.bashrc file.

Sample Interaction

leathan>> mubot marks
Mubot>> You have <amount> marks!

Troubleshooting

Q.) I get the following error ERROR TypeError: Cannot read property '...' of undefined

A.) You need to set your initial balance, open the file src/marking.coffee and find the line:

    robot.brain.resetSaveInterval(1) 

Then add this line after the above line:

    robot.brain.data.credits['...'] ?= <amount>

For example, for me that part of src/marking.coffee looks like:

module.exports = (robot) ->
  robot.brain.on 'loaded', ->
    robot.brain.data.credits ?= {}
    credits = robot.brain.data.credits or {}
    robot.brain.resetSaveInterval(1) 
    robot.brain.data.credits['irc://leathan@irc.swiftirc.net/'] ?= 12000
