Hiya,

I just finished my latest project: BOT>Messages.

This bot allows you to form a 'message group' which all your squad members, staff or friends can join. Through this bot, you can send messages to f.ex your friends who might be offline, and they will still get your message when they log back on. This is much better than using mail, yahoogroups, etc. to deliver messages to your pals as it is faster, and you send a message to all of your friends, not just one-by-one via mail.

The bot offers you powerful features like kicking, doing announcements, message toggling, group ownership transfer and more - while you are playing a game!

Create your group by doing ':BOT>Messages:!registergroup GroupName'. Have your friends join this group, tell them to do ':BOT>Messages:!join GroupName'.
You can check for messages very fast by doing ':BOT>Messages:!gm groupname'. Sending messages is just as easy, just do ':BOT>Messages:!msg groupname message'. If you consider Continuum's ?message feature, consider this bot as a extension to that service.

It works completely with Remote Private messages so you can use it in any zone you like. However, to receive notifications about new messages from the groups you are in, there is a extra plugin which can be applied in every zone.

I have attached the Mervbot version of the extension plugin here. (I can send you the source if you don't trust to use this plugin. )
Its a very simple plugin which only Remote PMs a (secret) message to BOT>Messages whenever a player enters so his/her groups are checked for new messages.

The same plugin can be built on all other bots since its such a simple extension.

Have fun and put it to good use.

I'm always open for questions / suggestions / comments icon_smile.gif
