Hello, I am TheMasterSwordsman, a friendly Web geek. Here's a few explanations about me.

[edit] Slashing with the Swordsman

  • I was born and raised in the beautiful southern state of South Carolina, and still live there to this very day.
  • I have been into Web programming since an extremely young age, when online stuff was just dialing up other computers in Windows 3.1 and DOS, which I can barely remember.
  • At the young age I was at when I started Web programming, I began a club called UAFC, and it was a total unsuccess. Frown, frown.
  • I was introduced to Legend of Zelda at a slightly older age, and I enjoyed it so much, that it became my single favorite video game.
  • I began development on a Zelda website, called Temple of Time, but that came to an end before it could be published.
  • After the small debut of Temple of Time, I started work on a new site. I was thinking that Zelda was a great game... a real tour de force. Then it struck me. The Zelda symbol is often noted as the Triforce, and the phrase being "tour de force", I believed I was onto something. After a few title revisions, I began development on TriforceTour.com, a Zelda site aimed at the hardcore Zelda fans.
  • TriforceTour.com was published in May of 2006, and in November of 2006, it recieved a facelift, and completion. I now had a mark on the Internet for all to see.
  • TriforceTour.com has many features, and among them lies one of the site's greatest real-time feature, TheMasterSwordsman's Moderation Robot for IRC. That was a mouthful, no? Scroll down to find out more about him.
  • I continue to work on my site silently, and you can learn more about me on the website Zoints, my profile located at http://themasterswordsman.zoints.com/, but if that doesn't serve your needs, you can always visit http://www.triforcetour.com/ and enjoy what I have made.

[edit] The Bot

TheMasterSwordsman's Moderation Robot for IRC is still currently in development, but he has come to be known very widely as TMSModBot. That's his nick in the channel. Now, I'm probably going over your head. IRC means Internet Relay Chatrooms, and that title is self explanitory. You have different channels, or rooms, that you can control. I'm the channel owner of the #TriforceTour channel located on irc.initialized.org, port 6667 using an IRC client such as mIRC or X-Chat. If you want to chat in there anyway without downloading anything, you can visit http://www.triforcetour.com/community/chat.html to chat right then and there using our integrated IRC client.

TMSModBot was originally designed just because I had extra time, but soon became a major project. It became integrated as a part of TriforceTour. TMSModBot has many features, including some of those that were meant to be secret, but are not because only I can control them (MWAHAHAHAHA):

The User Commands

  • %google - Google information up without opening a new window.
  • %time - Seems a little useless, but if you're in fullscreen mode, it's annoying to have to minimize, look at the clock, and maximize, then take it back to fullscreen to check the time.
  • %guessgame - Play a guess-a-number game.
  • %roll - Roll the dice baby.
  • %roulette - Play a non-lethal game of Russian Roulette... baby.
  • %seen - See if the user has been here or not. (Has a few bugs to work out)

Moderation Commands

  • %op - Give channel operator status to the specified user.
  • %kick - Kick the specified user out of the channel.
  • %ban - Ban the user from the channel.
  • %halfop - Give channel half-operator status to the specified user.
  • %voice - Give voice to the specified user.

(Almost) Secret Commands

  • %raw - Send a raw IRC command to the server.
  • %prefix - Change the command prefix. This would make all commands something like "@google" or "$time".
  • %botinfo - Tells you about the bot.

That's all there is to TMSModBot. He also has the following extra features:

  • Topic guard - Moderate the topic and make sure that there are no bad words in it.
  • Artificial intelligence - Sort of... he can take sentences out of things said in the channel and combine them (or not) with other sentences collected. He stores them until someone says his name. He generates a random message and spits it back in the channel.
  • Gannon banning - If you've ever played Legend of Zelda before, you know how Ganon is often misspelled as Gannon. He returns the following if he catches "Gannon" inside any phrase: You have been GANNON-BANNED to the EVIL JAR, *username here*!
  • Grammar Correcting - If there is a grammar mistake, he will send the user a notice about the error. (This gets annoying after a while...)
  • Shorthand guard - Shorthand is looked down upon in the channel. This takes care of the problem by noticing the user and kicking them if excessive shorthand is used.
  • Profanity Guard - If someone types something profane in, it will kick the offending user with a message reading: HEY! Don't talk like that in here.

And that'd be it for him!
