!help command should work different

[Ddorda]

Right now the !help command reads text from a var. IMHO it shpould work in a way that the list of !help will be built by the modules of the bot itself, so each module will be able to add data to the !help command, and it will be dynamically changed by modules used.

The command reads the help text from files, not from a variable.

that every module has it own one?

No, it has a main.txt file for the !help command without parameters and a <command>.txt file for commands help.

exactly. what i'm saying is that each module should have it's own file for
help and that Hoborg will know to merge these all to !help.

for ex. what can be happen is that each module will have a text file that
has ".help" extension (ex. quit.help, help.help, logoff.help etc.) and in
each of these files the "!help <command>" text will be entered.
Hoborg will list the commands by indexing the .help files and will get the
text for a specific help command from inside each one.

what do you think?
