Automode Tutorial
The Automode plugin was introduced in PyLink 0.9 as a simple mechanism to manage channel access. That said, it is not designed to entirely replace traditional IRC services such as ChanServ.
Starting steps
Upon loading the automode plugin, you should see an
Automode service bot connect, using the name that you defined (this
guide uses the default, Automode). This service provides
the commands used to manage access.
For a list of commands: - /msg Automode help
Adding access to a channel: -
/msg Automode setacc #channel [MASK] [MODE LIST] - The mask
can be a simple nick!user@host hostmask or any of the
extended targets (exttargets) mentioned below. MODE LIST is a string of
any prefix modes that you want to set (no leading +
needed): e.g. qo, h, or ov.
Removing access from a channel: -
/msg Automode delacc #channel [MASK]
Listing access entries on a channel: -
/msg Automode listacc #channel
Applying all access entries on a channel (sync): -
/msg Automode syncacc #channel
Clearing all access entries on a channel: -
/msg Automode clearacc #channel
Supported masks and extended targets
Automode supports any hostmask or PyLink extended target; see the Exttargets Guide for more details.
Permissions
See the Permissions Reference for a list of permissions defined by Automode.
Caveats
- Service bot joining and Relay don’t always behave consistently: see https://github.com/jlu5/PyLink/issues/265
