  45 We wrote a few modules, one of which is &quot;LoveServ&quot;. All it does is send
  46 &quot;mirc popup&quot; style messages between users, love notes, coloured text etc on
  47 command... pretty simple stuff. If you want it come and bug us on
  48 irc.chatspike.net #chatspike :) We based it on the HelpServ module (that and
  49 DevNull are the nearest thing to dummy/skeleton modules there are that ive
  50 found) , then we modified the makefile so that it would compile a .so of our
  51 module at the same time as the rest of the services tree. However you could
  52 just mkdir a directory and make your own make file, so long as the paths to
  53 the services include files is correct :)

  55 Good Luck,

  59 &gt;<i> Hi.
  60 </I>&gt;<i>
  61 </I>&gt;<i>I'm the admin for a tiny RolePlayGaming network and we're currently looking
  62 </I>&gt;<i>into making addon modules for a series of Services Bots that will share the
  63 </I>&gt;<i>load for a Roleplay Service on IRC.
  64 </I>&gt;<i>
  65 </I>&gt;<i>The problem is that none of us are really coders, and we need a lot of help
  66 </I>&gt;<i>getting started. With enormous respect for Andy and his great works on
  67 </I>&gt;<i>producing his wonderful services, his documentation re: modules creation
  68 </I>&gt;<i>leaves much to be desired, and seems to concentrate more on where and how
  69 </I>we
  70 &gt;<i>should indent, then on how to compile a new module, and integrate it into
  71 </I>&gt;<i>services.
  72 </I>&gt;<i>
  73 </I>&gt;<i>Simple questions to which we should be able find answers baffle us I'm
  74 </I>&gt;<i>afraid, one such is: Do we add tokens for new commands to the exsiting
  75 </I>token
  76 &gt;<i>list in init.c, or is there a way to introduce them within the modules
  77 </I>&gt;<i>without editing existing code?
  78 </I>&gt;<i>
  79 </I>&gt;<i>How do we include a module to the list of modules to be compiled, ie: is
  80 </I>&gt;<i>there a command line for compilation of extra modules like with Apache, or
  81 </I>&gt;<i>do we just drop them into the modules directory and recompile from scratch
  82 </I>&gt;<i>as with UnrealIRCD?
  83 </I>&gt;<i>
  84 </I>&gt;<i>Has anyone written a skeleton module with compilation instructions that we
  85 </I>&gt;<i>could use as a starter?
  86 </I>&gt;<i>Is there a list of APIs that we could call on or must we read the code
  87 </I>(Very
  88 &gt;<i>headbreaking for us low IQ, cut &amp; paste coders).
  89 </I>&gt;<i>
  90 </I>&gt;<i>Please don't tell me anything useless like: &quot;If you don't understand the
  91 </I>&gt;<i>code you shouldn't be doing this!&quot; Unless you intend to do the coding for
  92 </I>&gt;<i>us, for free, because suitable, or not; We're all we've got!.
  93 </I>&gt;<i>

  96 Any chance you could let me have them to learn from?
  97 I would not use them unmodified unless you gave me permission, in which case
  98 I would, of course. respect any copyright notices etc.
