Channels Module
This module provides channel related support for the bot. Without it, you
won't be able to make the bot join a channel or save channel specific userfile
information.
This module requires: none
Put this line into your Eggdrop configuration file to load the channels
module:
loadmodule channels
There are also some variables you can set in your config file:
set chanfile "LamestBot.chan"
Enter here the filename where dynamic channel settings are stored.
set force-expire 0
Set this setting to 1 if you want your bot to expire bans/exempts/invites
set by other opped bots on the channel.
set share-greet 0
Set this setting to 1 if you want your bot to share user greets with
other bots on the channel if sharing user data.
set use-info 1
Set this setting to 1 if you want to allow users to store an info line.
channel add #channel { SETTINGS }
Add each static channel you want your bot to sit in using this command.
There are many different possible settings you can insert into this
command, which are explained below.
chanmode +/-<modes>
This setting makes the bot enforce channel modes. It will always add
the +<modes> and remove the -<modes> modes.
idle-kick 0
This setting will make the bot check every minute for idle
users. Set this to 0 to disable idle check.
stopnethack-mode 0
This setting will make the bot de-op anyone who enters the channel
with serverops. There are seven different modes for this settings:
0 turn off
1 isoptest (allow serverop if registered op)
2 wasoptest (allow serverop if user had op before split)
3 allow serverop if isop or wasop
4 allow serverop if isop and wasop.
5 If the channel is -bitch, see stopnethack-mode 3
If the channel is +bitch, see stopnethack-mode 1
6 If the channel is -bitch, see stopnethack-mode 2
If the channel is +bitch, see stopnethack-mode 4
revenge-mode 0
This settings defines how the bot should punish bad users when
revenging. There are four possible settings:
0 Deop the user.
1 Deop the user and give them the +d flag for the channel.
2 Deop the user, give them the +d flag for the channel, and kick them.
3 Deop the user, give them the +d flag for the channel, kick, and ban them.
ban-time 120
Set here how long temporary bans will last (in minutes). If you
set this setting to 0, the bot will never remove them.
exempt-time 60
Set here how long temporary exempts will last (in minutes). If you set
this setting to 0, the bot will never remove them. The bot will check
the exempts every X minutes, but will not remove the exempt if a ban is
set on the channel that matches that exempt. Once the ban is removed,
then the exempt will be removed the next time the bot checks. Please note
that this is an IRCnet feature.
invite-time 60
Set here how long temporary invites will last (in minutes). If you set
this setting to 0, the bot will never remove them. The bot will check
the invites every X minutes, but will not remove the invite if a channel
is set to +i. Once the channel is -i then the invite will be removed the
next time the bot checks. Please note that this is an IRCnet feature.
aop-delay (minimum:maximum)
This is used for autoop, autohalfop, autovoice. If an op or voice joins a
channel while another op or voice is pending, the bot will attempt to put
both modes on one line.
aop-delay 0 No delay is used.
aop-delay X An X second delay is used.
aop-delay X:Y A random delay between X and Y is used.
need-op { putserv "PRIVMSG #lamest :op me cos i'm lame!" }
This setting will make the bot run the script enclosed in braces
if it does not have ops. This must be shorter than 120 characters.
If you use scripts like getops.tcl or botnetop.tcl, you don't need
to set this setting.
need-invite { putserv "PRIVMSG #lamest :let me in!" }
This setting will make the bot run the script enclosed in braces
if it needs an invite to the channel. This must be shorter than 120
characters. If you use scripts like getops.tcl or botnetop.tcl, you
don't need to set this setting.
need-key { putserv "PRIVMSG #lamest :let me in!" }
This setting will make the bot run the script enclosed in braces
if it needs the key to the channel. This must be shorter than 120
characters. If you use scripts like getops.tcl or botnetop.tcl, you
don't need to set this setting.
need-unban { putserv "PRIVMSG #lamest :let me in!" }
This setting will make the bot run the script enclosed in braces
if it needs to be unbanned on the channel. This must be shorter than
120 characters. If you use scripts like getops.tcl or botnetop.tcl,
you don't need to set this setting.
need-limit { putserv "PRIVMSG #lamest :let me in!" }
This setting will make the bot run the script enclosed in braces
if it needs the limit to be raised on the channel. This must be
shorter than 120 characters. If you use scripts like getops.tcl or
botnetop.tcl, you don't need to set this setting.
flood-chan 10:60
Set here how many channel messages in how many seconds from one
host constitutes a flood. Setting this to 0 or 0:0 disables text
flood protection for the channel.
flood-deop 3:10
Set here how many deops in how many seconds from one host constitutes
a flood. Setting this to 0 or 0:0 disables deop flood protection for
the channel.
flood-kick 3:10
Set here how many kicks in how many seconds from one host constitutes
a flood. Setting this to 0 or 0:0 disables kick flood protection for
the channel.
flood-join 5:60
Set here how many joins in how many seconds from one host constitutes
a flood. Setting this to 0 or 0:0 disables join flood protection for
the channel.
flood-ctcp 3:60
Set here how many channel ctcps in how many seconds from one host
constitutes a flood. Setting this to 0 or 0:0 disables ctcp flood
protection for the channel.
flood-nick 5:60
Set here how many nick changes in how many seconds from one host
constitutes a flood. Setting this to 0 or 0:0 disables nick flood
protection for the channel.
channel set <chan> +/-<setting>
There are many different options for channels which you can
define. They can be enabled or disabled by a plus or minus
in front of them.
A complete list of all available channel settings:
enforcebans
When a ban is set, kick people who are on the channel and match the
ban?
dynamicbans
Only activate bans on the channel when necessary? This keeps the
channel's ban list from getting excessively long. The bot still
remembers every ban, but it only activates a ban on the channel
when it sees someone join who matches that ban.
userbans
Allow bans to be made by users directly? If turned off, the bot will
require all bans to be made through the bot's console.
dynamicexempts
Only activate exempts on the channel when necessary? This keeps the
channel's exempt list from getting excessively long. The bot still
remembers every exempt, but it only activates a exempt on the channel
when it sees a ban set that matches the exempt. The exempt remains
active on the channel for as long as the ban is still active.
userexempts
Allow exempts to be made by users directly? If turned off, the bot will
require all exempts to be made through the bot's console.
dynamicinvites
Only activate invites on the channel when necessary? This keeps the
channel's invite list from getting excessively long. The bot still
remembers every invite, but the invites are only activated when the
channel is set to invite only and a user joins after requesting an
invite. Once set, the invite remains until the channel goes to -i.
userinvites
Allow invites to be made by users directly? If turned off, the bot will
require all invites to be made through the bot's console.
autoop
Op users with the +o flag as soon as they join the channel?
This is insecure and not recommended.
autohalfop
Halfop users with the +l flag as soon as they join the channel?
This is insecure and not recommended.
bitch
Only let users with the +o flag have op on the channel?
greet
Say a user's info line when they join the channel?
protectops
Re-op a user with the +o flag if they get deopped?
protecthalfops
Re-halfop a user with the +l flag if they get dehalfopped?
protectfriends
Re-op a user with the +f flag if they get deopped?
statuslog
Log the channel status line every 5 minutes? This shows the bot's
status on the channel (op, voice, etc.), the channel's modes, and
the number of +m/+o/+v/+n/+b/+e/+I users on the channel. A sample
status line follows:
[01:40] @#lamest (+istn) : [m/1 o/1 v/4 n/7 b/1 e/5 I/7]
revenge
Remember people who deop/kick/ban the bot, valid ops, or friends
and punish them? Users with the +f flag are exempt from revenge.
revengebot
This is similar to to the 'revenge' option, but it only triggers
if a bot gets deopped, kicked or banned.
autovoice
Voice users with the +v flag when they join the channel?
secret
Prevent this channel from being listed on the botnet?
shared
Share channel-related user info for this channel?
cycle
Cycle the channel when it has no ops?
dontkickops
Do you want the bot not to be able to kick users who have the +o flag,
letting them kick-flood for instance to protect the channel against
clone attacks?
inactive
This prevents the bot from joining the channel (or makes it leave the
channel if it is already there). It can be useful to make the bot leave
a channel without losing its settings, channel-specific user flags,
channel bans, and without affecting sharing.
seen
Respond to seen requests in the channel? The seen module must be
loaded for this to work.
nodesynch
Allow non-ops to perform channel modes? This can stop the bot from
fighting with services such as ChanServ, or from kicking IRCops when
setting channel modes without having ops.
The following settings are used as default values when you .+chan #chan or .tcl
channel add #chan. Look in the section above for explanation of every option.
