        MeMessage: "&r[IRC] * {nickname} {message}"
        JoinMessage: "&r[IRC] {nickname} has joined."
        PartMessage: "&r[IRC] {nickname} has left."
        NickMessage: "&r[IRC] {oldnick} is now {newnick}"

To disable any Message: Simply set it to "" and it will not be processed or sent.

Using IRC Console

IRC Console is a powerful feature provided by Farion, as it allows you to execute commands as if you were in the server console, without having to open it.

To use it, you must first add the the Nick of the IRC user you would like to be able to use this feature to the list RemoteConsoleUsers in the config.yml. Be sure you have registered this Nick with NickServ! If someone else steals your Nick on IRC they will be able to use console on your server

To enable the console, open up a private message conversation with the bot and say ".on"

• You can use "/msg <BotNick> .on" to begin this conversation in any IRC client

After doing this the bot will now send you private messages of the console output, and all messages sent to the bot will be executed as if they were console commands.

To disable the console, in a private message with the bot say ".off"

• You can use "/msg <BotNick> .off" in any IRC client

And that's all there is to using it, it's that simple.
