Plugin for Sopel that lets users slap each other in fun ways
pip install sopel-slapSubstitute the appropriate pip command based on your environment (e.g.
pip3 or pip3.10 on systems with multiple Python versions available).
If your Sopel configuration requires it, run sopel-plugins enable slap,
passing the appropriate config name to -c if you have multiple bots.
The easiest way to configure this plugin is via Sopel's built-in wizard:
sopel-plugins configure slapAvailable settings are described below.
verbs is a list of verbs to choose from when slapping people. If set, it
overrides the default list.
Probably the easiest way to make a custom list is to just press Enter twice
when the config wizard asks for a list of verbs, which will add the default
list to your bot's .cfg file. Then you can use your favorite text editor.
(We're aware that Sopel's wizard doesn't have great UX when it comes to entering lists. It'll get worked on someday, probably.)
reflexive is the pronoun the bot uses when someone with authorization does
.slap BotNick. By default, this is set to "itself".
- .slap
- Make the bot slap you
- .slap nickname [reason]
- Slap someone else, with an optional reason
If your bot has a non-default prefix, substitute it for . above.
This is based on the original slap.py by Michael Yanovich
from sopel-extras, dating back to the late '00s/early '10s. It's been
rewritten more or less from scratch to do things in the modern Sopel way. The
only meaningful behavior change was dropping substitution of the caller's nick
for me and myself, as it's quite possible for a real person to use either of
those as a nick and no one* should be safe from slaps!
* — No one except the bot and its admins, that is.
