hi how do can I make my bot know that an incoming message is from a private chat or not?
<padraig>
I couldn't find any example in the examples folder

listening on :message will receive both channel and private messages, listening on :channel or :private will do what the name says, Message#channel will be nil if it was a private message.
<padraig>
ok thank you! :)

I'm trying to make a bot which outputs and responds to menus - how do I make a multiline response in private chat? it is just responding one line at a time very slowly
<padraig>
thanks for your help by the way (in advance)
<dominikh>
this is IRC and not a terminal. if it weren't printing them slowly, the server would kick you for spamming.
<padraig>
right but I've seen channels where you can make a private connection to a bot
<padraig>
and it's like a menu system
<padraig>
I have a list of phrases in one language that the bot can translate to another
<padraig>
and I wanted to be able to connect to the bot directly in a private chat to list the available phrases
<dominikh>
you're probably referring to something like eggdrop's party line. that's outside of IRC and runs on its own protocol etc
<padraig>
oh ok that's how it's done?
<dominikh>
uses DCC CHAT as far as I am aware
<padraig>
oooh thanks
<padraig>
and can cinch respond to dcc?
<dominikh>
if you teach it to, yes. by default it only supports DCC SEND for file transfers, not any of the other DCC commands.
<padraig>
ok thanks dominikh :)
<dominikh>
no problem
