God doesn't play dice.
- Albert Einstein

This is Sparkie's small part of the site, listing almost all the commands the bot does as well as the user level needed to access the command in question. It will be kept updated a lot more than Sparkie's help file ever is and include a few scripts later on.

God not only plays dice. He also sometimes throws the dice where they cannot be seen.
- Steven Hawkins

Sparkie is a dice bot, so most of his commands were, not surprisingly, oriented around dice and rolling them. Well, they were initially. Anyhow, here they are (including the seldom used ones). Where user level matters, it will be noted in the command section.

Action	Command	Result
Roll dice	1d20+2 3#3d4 d6-2	Sparkie responds to rolling dice in any channel or in msg to Sparkie using the format of The dice are rolled using the W#XdY+Z format. Where W = number of throws, X = number of dice, Y = number of sides and Z = modifier to add/subtract to each throw. The dice must be the first thing in the line, so typing Hello 3d6 won't work but 3d6 Work, stupid bot! will.
Initiative
2e initative	init()	This command rolls initative for 2nd edition and will roll for everyone voiced (+) and opped (@) in the channel.
Group init	(groupinit)	This quickie command does 2nd edition (again) init for 2 groups, "Party" and "Them." It is currently a 2e command also.
3e init	!init	This command rolls initiative for all people voiced (+v) or opped (+@) in the channel.
Init help	!init help	Gives you the following init stuff, works in channel or msg.
Set init modifier	!mod +/-<modifier>	This command sets an iniative mdofier that will be used with your nick whenever 3e init is used, such as +3 or -4. to change it, just tyype !mod followed by a new modifier.
What's my modifier?	!initname <nick>	Shows the current init modifier for a nick (if any).
What's the init again?	!remind	Prints out the current init in channel or msg.
Adding an NPC to init	!npcs on	This adds a special init for NPCs, without any init modifier to it. One might be added in the future.
Removing an NPC to init	!npcs off	This stops NPCs from being added.
Adding multiple NPCs to init	!add npcs #	Just type !addnpc, followed by a number, such as !addnpc 5 to add 5 npcs to the init.
Removing those NPCs	!removenpc	Removes 'em.
Adding multiple NPCs as names	!addnpcnicks <nick> <nick> etc.	This adds npcs, like above, but as nicks, not just numbers. So !addnpcnicks Bob Linda John would add 3 nicks named that to init.
Removing those NPCs	!removenpcnicks	Removes 'em.
Remove DM from init	!nodm	This command removes the DMs nick from init. To return it, just type !nodm again.
Change DM nick in init	!npcnick on <nick>	This changes the nick the DM is given, to that of an NPC of choice.
Return DM nick to normal	!npcnick off	Cancels the previous command. Likely because Sparkie has killed said NPC.
Other Stuff
Saves	!save <Your Save> <Against what>	Yes, this is a 2e command. This works with !save 13 fire, for example and will tell you if you made your save vs fire or not.
Stats	Stats(#) With the # being from 1 to 9	This command gives you the D&D stat options from 1-9. 5 is the 3rd edition standard and this command works in msg or channel.
Thac0 attack modifer	Thac0/ Thaco <your modified THAC0> <Your foes Armour Class>	Another 2nd edition comand, this works with you typing Thaco <your modified THAC0> <Your foes Armour class> So a Thac0 13 5 would be a thaco of 13 trying to hit an AC of 5.
3rd edition Thac0	!Thac0 <your to hit> <Your foes AC>	Yes, I know 3rd edition d&d doesn't have THAC0. It was written a long time ago. If you ever want to use it, type !Thac0 <your to hit bonus> <Your foes AC> and sparkie will tell you what you rolled and if you hit them or not.
Search the Kevren Gods	!Kevren <word(s)>	Searches the listing of Kevren gods for your query.

<Drudwyn> ((DAMN YOU Sparkie!!!))

The gm script isn't really any special commands for a GM (yet -- I plan to add kick and ban options via Sparkie for the GM to use). It mostly tells ppl who is running a game when they join and keeps a log of the game at the time as well as sending the log and recaping it to those who ask.

Action	Command	Result
Set the GM	set <dm/gm/st> <Channel> <Nick>	This command sets a gm (or dm or st, depending on the game) for a channel. Sparkie will then log the channel using the Gm's name. When the game ends and the gm is removed, the log of the game ends. it wil also tell people who join that channel that the game is in progress. The person to be the gm and sparkie must both be in the channel for Sparkie to give them that status. If Sparkie is opped (@) s/he will be also.
Remove the GM	remove <dm/gm/st> <Nick>	This command ends the gm running a game and halts the log.
Who is the GM?	!dm !gm !st	This command will tell the user if a game is being run and if so what kind of game it is. Since Sparkie can set someone as a gm, dm or st it responds to all 3 with the same message. This can be useful to remove a gm.
Channel Logging
Recap list	!recap	This shows the list of games sparkie has logged in order to access them.
Recap session	!recap <Filename>	This command sends the user the last 10 lines of a log in msg format so they know what happenned in the last game ran by that person.
Recap log	!log	This shows the list of games sparkie has logged for purposes of getting them dcc'ed to you.
Get log	!log <Filename>	This will send the entire long of one gm's games to whoever asks for them.
GM Init commands (Also under init)
Adding an NPC to init	!npcs on	This adds a special init for NPCs, without any init modifier to it. One might be added in the future.
Removing an NPC to init	!npcs off	This stops NPCs from being added.
Adding multiple NPCs to init	!add npcs #	Just tyope !addnpc, followed by a number, such as !addnpc 5 to add 5 npcs to the init.
Removing those NPCs	!removenpc	Removes 'em.
Adding multiple NPCs as names	!addnpcnicks <nick> <nick> etc.	This adds npcs, like above, but as nicks, not just numbers. So !addnpcnicks Bob Linda John would add 3 nicks named that to init.
Removing those NPCs	!removenpcnicks	Removes 'em.
Remove DM from init	!nodm	This command removes the DMs nick from init. To return it, just type !nodm again.
Change DM nick in init	!npcnick on <nick>	This changes the nick the DM is given, to that of an NPC of choice.
Return DM nick to normal	!npcnick off	Cancels the previous command. Likely because Sparkie has killed said NPC.

<Caltak> Hehe if nothing else, Sparkie is useful for the quotes :)

This section tells you how to access Sparkie's quotes about games and search through them as wel as count the occurence of nicks etc. within the quotes.

Action	Command	Result
Reading the quotes	quote <#>	By typing a quote and a number, such as quote 3 or quote 2034 and the quote will be returned in channel or msg. Typing quote by itself also gives out smaller, often one line quotes. Sparkie wil do one quote every 10 seconds, to prevent flooding.
Searching the quotes	!archive <word(s) looked for> !archive1 <word(s) looked for> !archive2 <word(s) looked for> !search <word(s) looked for>	This command looks through the archive (quotes 1-1000) with !archive, the next set of quotes (quotes 1001-2000) with !archive1, the next (2001 to 3000) with !archive2 and the quotes from 3000+ with !search since they are the most recent. It displays the first 300 occurences of the word or words in channel or msg as well as counting the occurences of those words.
Searching all the quote files	!searchall <word(s) looked for>	This command looks through all the game quotes for the information requested and shows the first 500 occurences of whatever is looked for.
To count or not to count ...	!count <word(s) to be counted>	This will tell you how many times what you asked about occurered in the entire quotes, such as a nick or something.
Matching words	!mewsearch <word(s) to be counted>:<word(s) to be counted>	this command searches the entire quotes file for occurences of two searches together, such as !newsearch the end:Jeramias. It tells you what quotes they were in as well as counts the occurences of your search. You must use words longer than 2 characters for both searches.
How many quotes are there?	!quotes	This tells you how many game quotes Sparkie has total now.

<Robert```> (( Sparkie, you FUCKING SUCK ))

These command (the last of the explicitly game oriented stuff) allows players to add a description of their pc into Sparkie.

Action	Command	Result
PC Descriptions
Adding a name to the list	!addname <nick> <description>	This adds a nick to sparkie's list of descriptions. Currently it won't replace a nick already there, so if you added one before, ask Alcar to replace it with the new one.
Reading a name	!name <nick>	This command will show either the description for a nick in channel or msg.
Character Sheets
Getting a sheet	!sheet	Sends you Sparkie's 2nd edition character sheet as a .rtf (rich text format) file. It will work in wordpad and most word processing programs.
	!3e	Sends you Sparkie's 3rd edition character sheet as a .rtf (rich text format) file. It will work in wordpad and most word processing programs.

<Bloodheart> are you actually sitting there rolling a die?

Moving right along, these are the basic IRC commands that sparkie responds to. The user level of commands lists "none" if everyone can use the command, + if you needed to be voiced on #game1 by Sparkie normally for it to work and @ if you need to be opped in #game1 for the commands to work. "game1" added to any of those will show commands that only work in #Game1.

There's more?! Well, sadly, yes. But this is mostly Sparkies word definer, wild magic and other quote features. If you just wanted to learn Sparkie's commands you don't need to read this section.
However, if you want to impress family and friends, feel free to continue!

<Chaos`^> Sparkie couldn't light a fire if he rolled it himself!

Thanks are due first to Warner for the dice script, which can be found here. Also to Sintaqx for general help, to Keith` for the 2e init script and to all of #game1 for putting up with Alcar's testing of Sparkie all the time :p

A script or two might be added later, but as most of spark's scripts (with the exception of the word definer) aren't really "done" that might not happen for a bit. By done, I mean that they'd work for other people without confusing them a lot :)
