SockBot Markov

Markov plugin for SockBot version 2.10.0 or later; generates semi-coherent posts using a Markov chain generator.

Usage

No special syntax is required; simply summon, reply, or send a private message.

Developers

SockBot Markov is developed by SockDrawer developer RaceProUK.

Installation

The preferred method of installation is via NPM; simply run this command within the SockBot installation folder:

npm install sockbot-markov

Other methods of installation are possible e.g. cloning the git repository, but only installation via NPM is supported.

Post Install Setup

If you installed via NPM skip this step as NPM has already installed all necessary dependencies. Otherwise you will need to run the following command in the folder where you installed SockBot Markov:

npm install

Configuration

SockBot Markov requires a text file to generate the corpus that powers the Markov chain; this is specified by the corpus setting.

YAML example:

---
core:
  username: username
  password: password
  owner: owner
plugins:
  sockbot-markov:
    corpus: '../path/to/corpus.txt'

JSON example:

{
  "core": {
    "username": "username",
    "password": "password",
    "owner": "owner"
  },
  "plugins": {
    "sockbot-markov": {
      "corpus": "../path/to/corpus.txt"
    }
  }
}

Note that these examples assume an NPM-based installation; other installation methods may require the path to Markov.js (without file extension) be specified explicitly.

YAML example:

---
core:
  username: username
  password: password
  owner: owner
plugins:
  '../path/to/Markov':
    corpus: '../path/to/corpus.txt'

JSON example:

{
  "core": {
    "username": "username",
    "password": "password",
    "owner": "owner"
  },
  "plugins": {
    "../path/to/Markov": {
      "corpus": "../path/to/corpus.txt"
    }
  }
}
