ZBot is a module for BotServ which can be used to assign definitions to keywords.

Activating ZBot

Only the Founder (the one who registered) of the channel can enable ZBot for their channel:

 /BOTSERV SET #channelname ZBOT ON

For instance, if you channel's name is #voca, then you execute:

 /BOTSERV SET #voca ZBOT ON

De-activating can also only be done by the Founder:

 /BOTSERV SET #channelname ZBOT OFF

For the channel #voca that would be:

 /BOTSERV SET #voca ZBOT OFF

Fantasy Commands

If the ZBot module is active in the channel and the BotServ bot is present in the channel (because there are 2 or more users), then certain commands can be used by typing the command text in the channel. Not everyone has access to all commands, therefor the following overview:

Everyone

? <keyword

Shows the meaning for the given <keyword>

Example: ? help

?? <keyword>

The following commands are only available for AOPs, SOPs and the Founder of the channel.
