<a name="ArtificialChatGurus">[11.1] - Artificial Chat Gurus</a>
</h2>

<pre><img border="0" src="images/scfg_chat_theguru.png" width="572" height="331">
<b>Guru Name:</b>
The name users will see when chatting with this artificial guru.
<b>Guru Internal Code:</b>
This is an 8 character code used internally by Synchronet and should be
unique for each guru. This is also the filename which will be used for
the intelligence engine for this guru (with the .DAT extension, located
in your CTRL directory). See the section on customization for
information on customizing chat gurus.
<b>Access Requirements:</b>
Only users meeting the criteria set here will be able to chat with this
guru.</pre>
<h2><a name="ChatActions">[11.2] - Chat Actions</a>
</h2>
<pre>Selecting this option will show a list of available chat action sets where you
can insert and delete action sets. Selecting an action set from this menu will
display a list of the actions contained within that set.
Synchronet comes with a default chat action set, which you can modify, or use
as a reference for creating your own action set. Each command response should
have two '%s' fields contained in the line, the first will be replaced with
the name of the user performing the action, the second with the name of the
user to which the action is directed.</pre>
<h2><a name="MultinodeChatChannels">[11.3] - Multinode Chat Channels</a>
</h2>
<pre>Selecting this option will give you a sub-menu. An example of how a chat
channel might be set up, along with the options available, is shown:</pre>
<pre><img border="0" src="images/scfg_chat_channel1.png" width="572" height="331">
<b>Name:</b>
This is the name of this chat channel, and what will be displayed to
users when viewing a list of available chat channels.
<b>Internal Code:

the others on the system. This must be a unique name of up to 8 valid
DOS filename characters.

account when joining this particular chat channel.
<b>Access Requirements:
</b> A user must meet the criteria set here in order to be able to use
(or even see) this chat channel.
<b>Password Protection:
</b> If you wish to allow users to be able to lock this channel with a
password (only users knowing this password can enter the channel), you
should set this option to Yes.
<b>Guru Joins When Empty:
</b> Set this option to Yes to have the selected chat guru enter this chat
channel when there is only one user in the channel.

set to yes). Selecting this option will give you a list of available
chat gurus to choose from.

<h2><a name="ExternalSysopPagers">[11.4] - External Sysop Chat

available in Synchronet). Sysops can have .TON files played when certain or all
users page, or if a sound card is installed, the sysop may have a .WAV or .VOC
file play. Selecting this option will give you a list of currently configured
chat pagers.</pre>
<pre><img border="0" src="images/scfg_chat_pagers.png" width="572" height="331">
Selecting a pager from the above menu will give you other options for this chat
pager.</pre>
<pre><img border="0" src="images/scfg_chat_pager1.png" width="572" height="331">
<b>Command Line:

<b>Access Requirements:

option should be toggled to Yes.</pre>
