Channel Commands

Not all channel commands are available in every channel, and they may not work correctly if you use control codes (color, bold, underline, reverse).

%convert <amount> <old unit> to <new unit> [{<unit type>}]
Converts amount from old unit to new unit. If unit type is specified, only units of that type will be considered (this is useful for resolving ambiguity). See %units for supported conversions.
%forecast [-m] <location>
Displays the forecast for location. If the location is not found or ambiguous, a list of options will be output. If -m is added, output will be in metric. Output from this command is sent in a NOTICE to the requester.
%rss [feed name]
Displays in private to you the last 3 items from feed name, or a list of feeds without feed name.
%seen <nick>
Displays the last time nick was seen.
%stats
Displays the URL of the stats page for the channel.
%units [[-full] type]
Without an argument: outputs a list of supported unit types. With type: output a list of units for that type. If -full is also specified: provide more info.
%weather [-m] <location>
Displays the current conditions for location. If the location is not found or ambiguous, a list of options will be output. If -m is added, output will be in metric. Output from this command is sent in a NOTICE to the requester.

Karma Commands

Karma commands do not have feedback when you use them; you will not see any message.

Please do not abuse these.

nick++
Gives +1 karma on the stats page to nick.
nick==
Gives 0 karma on the stats page. (so you no longer effect nick's karma)
nick--
Gives −1 karma on the stats page to nick.

Detailed information on commands and other functionality

Channel statistics

Liru collects channel statistics that are accessable online, various stats are gathered such as who talks the most and what times of day are most active. The stats update at 15 and 45 minutes past the hour. All users automaticly appear on the stats page.

If you are listed without a gender, multiple times and want your stats combined, or want to add a website URL, contact Xaquseg via IRC. Please do not contact me unless you have talked at least 200 or so lines. (this is to avoid a large number of requests for users that are not around often.)

Please do not do stuff solely to effect the stats, it is abusing them and makes them almost useless. (plus, then it is all lies about you anyway)

Convert and units

The %convert command can be used to convert measurements in various units to other units of the same type. SI prefixes are fully supported. Under some cases with really large or really small numbers, the answer may be off by a bit.

The %units command is used to view the list of supported unit types and supported units of the various types. If a unit is not supported that you'd like to see, contact Xaquseg.

The European Central Bank is used as a source of currency information.
