Commands (IRC)

The following is a guide to River's IRC commands (for Discord, see here). There are others, and more will be added below as these get documented. Custom responses are available for when River says hi, goodbye and goodnight.

Note: You can use full stops instead of commas. Also remember that some commands have timeouts, these are listed at the bottom right of each command in red. If River doesn't reply to a command you recently issued, please wait the full rate limit and try again.

This page is still undergoing changes to bring in those final commands. Almost there!
