Hey all.
I've been thinking abut this for some time now and I now want to being to write my own IRC Bot. But this isn't going to be just a normal bot who idles there and gives me OP when I join in and the usual. For startes the bot that I weant to create it will have the basic characteristics of a normal bot but I also want the bot to check a proxy list. I would want the bot to be able to check two proxy lists. One will be HTTP and one will be Socks. I will provide the bot with the lists. The bot will check the proxies in those lists at X hour and then the bot will save the first 30 proxies in a text file according to what it is checking. So if the bot was checking HTTPs then once the bot has the first 30 HTTP proxies it will save them to a text file as http.txt, and the same goes for Socks too.
Then when a user joins then channel in which the bot is running in, the bot will do a /notice on whoerver joined the channel and it will tell the user the commands that he/she can use. So if the user types !http, then that would be the trigger for the HTTP.txt list which the bot has just checked and saved as a .txt. The bot will PM the proxies in HTTP.txt to the user who typed the trigger.
And that's all. That's what I would like to create. The only thing is that I don't know what language to use to begin to code my bot. Some of my friends said I should use C some said C#. I don't know. I came here because Eggdrop was created from this language and maybe I can get some help off you.
Thanks in advance for reading this.
