LuckyBot v4I have created several versions of my IRC Bot: v1 was a not extendable irc bot written in PHP, don't want to talk a lot about this one :') 2 was a desktop app written in C#. It had a nice GUI, you could easily change settings, enable or

disable plugins etc. But the code what very ugly. 3 was a nice extendable irc bot written in PHP. It had a pretty nice plugin system, the only problem was that you couldn't reload plugins at runtime.
v4 will be the best from v2 and the best from v3. It has a nice object oriented plugin api, it has an GUI, where you can change all your settings etc, but there'll be also a console mode. And the best: it's written in python. Which means easily plugin creation, reload plugins without restarting the bot, crossplatform and a lot more
It will contain a GUI and a console mode. With the GUI, you can easily activate and deactivate plugins, change your settings, and much more. You can completely control your bot from the GUI.
In console mode, it will only output the data received and sent. To change settings you'll have to edit some .ini files. All settings are stored in ini files.
