Converting commands

gistfile1.md

We need to edit/test all the plugins, found here: https://github.com/SomeKittens/bot-plugins

Plugins are in this form:

(function() {
  // ...plugin
})();

Switch that to this:

module.exports = function(bot, IO) {
  // ...plugin
};

We'll need to manually call this in bot.js (it's near the bottom, it'll be replaced after all the plugins are fixed).

require('../bot-plugins/$PLUGIN_NAME')(bot, IO);

and that's it!

...unless it's not. I think I've changed all the JSONP and xhr, but those should be changed to IO.request.

In addition, define and unonebox need to be rewritten with jsdom, stat returns Unicode for some reason, converter and roomPermissions need testing, substitution needs some way of tracking chat history and many other things that will eventually crop up.

I've fixed define up along with stop, meme and most of undo (the command works, the permission mechanism doesn't yet).

Also changed it so commands that register to the input event using IO actually fire on input now

Fixed the stat command. The issue was that the API responded with Gzipped contents

The eval module should have some special consideration. What do we use instead of WebWorker? Can we have something that will not crash the node process, similarly to how the current implementation does?

I guess using the vm module is the way to go, but will the "Too much recursion" errors and the likes crash the process?

@ralt: Node actually provides a worker class (insert Marxist undertones here) that might actually be run with a little more freedom thanks to our ability to actually kill the process if it starts eating processing.

@SomeKittens can all the plugins just go into a /plugins folder and then we can loop through it with require()? Would be much cleaner/dynamic.

EDIT: I'm told this is how it'll work in the future?

Think of the current state of plugin loading as dev mode.
