Hey everyone! Some of you may know what this bot is all about and have
enjoyed using it, but for those of you who haven't, then here is what the
bot does...

VectraChat utlizes 3.4 features to make an impressive chat bot. This bot
allows citizens, and optional tourists, to choose from a list of chat
colors. All colors can be added/removed from the interface as well as
through a chat command. Other features include the ability to find out who
is in the world and where they are located. There is a command to hide your
location in the world if you don't want others knowing. In addition to this,
there is also a command to enabled global mode so that your chat messages
are sent to everyone in the world. The bot also features an advanced filter
system for the chat. Bot owners can add words to a list and all words that
match the list are replaced by "replacement" words/phrases. This allows
citizens of the world to chat without having to worry about seeing a swear
word that offends them as well as adding humor. There is also an admin list
as well as many admin commands. To top all of this off, VectraChat has a
chat log window where it displays all messages sent and the time sent. There
is also an option to log all of this to a chat file based on the date.
VectraChat now features chat zone capabilities. These allow citizens who
have buildings or houses to chat privately inside without anyone outside
hearing their conversations.

You can download the EXE version of the bot as well as the source code(vb)
to the bot at http://www.vectracon.com/vectrachat/. Hope you all enjoy it
and hope the source code can help you out in learning how to do cool things
with the chat. Comments are always welcome on my forum located at
http://www.vectracon.com/forum/.

Hey,

This is great. I myself am planning to GPL newer versions of the old
classes I wrote for VB 6 that is now obsolete. It's great that so many
people are moving in an open source direction.

Does this bot comply with the interoperability standards at
http://homeunix.uni.cc/aw/relay/interoperability.htm? If not, then it
shouldn't be difficult for me or someone else to add this feature to the
bot. It would allow people to switch between several chat bots depending on
which fits their needs best.

Umm..no It has nothing to do with the Interoperability standards or
anything like that. It requires caretaker rights to be ran and to work
functionally.

Very nice bot Lord Fett, would seem to do its job quite well :)

although i notice you use:
If Left(LCase(message), 6) = "c:view" Then

How about another variable for the lowercase msg? and just lowercase it at
the start, would save you a lot of processing time!
