Brian S. Stephan	1fe9575502	move recursion stuff out of Module.py and into modules/Alias.py ... this comes with a recursion rewrite and simplification; it works a bit more intuitively, now, but i still haven't figured out what caused the bug that led me down this rabbit hole. in any event, Alias now rules the roost when it comes to recursion, which means it's a bit poorly named, but also means that there won't (shouldn't) be multiple accidental runs for one output, caused by multiple modules doing the recursion (despite only one really having a legitimate reason to) --- a classic case of the intended use of recursion (including the comment to only recurse when you *know* the input is for you) being lost and forgotten with time this also obsoletes meta.skip_recursion_scan. between this commit and the last, people would be wise to revise their config files	2010-12-16 23:43:16 -06:00
Brian S. Stephan	b7f2b9bd0e	use re.search() rather than re.match() in a couple places ... (search() looks for the regex anywhere in the string whereas match() only looks for the regex starting from the beginning)	2010-10-29 00:30:02 -05:00
Brian S. Stephan	fd7834756b	add !alias list that displays the existing alias commands. limited utility, really.	2010-09-08 20:12:19 -05:00
Brian S. Stephan	14973388e5	remove pubmsg/privmsg overloading in Alias now that we have 'meta.skip_recursion_scan'. ... also, the last commit's message should have referred to this meta option instead of what it actually did. oops.	2010-09-08 19:40:16 -05:00
Brian S. Stephan	b9ef46606d	don't output anything if the aliasified command is the same as the reply. ... this indicates that none of the modules could actually do anything with that text, so whatever happened probably didn't fire any modules (and if it did, they didn't provide return text anyway)	2010-09-04 11:55:10 -05:00
Brian S. Stephan	a5dbb27622	Alias module to turn text into other text. ... mostly for sending commands to the bot without addressing the bot with bot: (and potentially triggering MegaHAL) yet also without exposing sensitive commands to the non-addressable mode (like wtf/quit). speak the alias and the bot will run the looked-up text through the modules, regardless of their addressable settings	2010-09-04 11:29:18 -05:00
