title: "(Un)Setting umodes"
|
|
category: [english]
|
|
tags: [english, IRC, HexChat, ZNC]
|

|
|
*As I have written more about umodes than I thought, I am breaking the
|
|
posts setting/unsetting is documented here and I will link here from other
|
|
posts.*
|
|
|
|
Simply use `/umode +mo-des` or if that is unknown command (as it's alias
|
|
in most of clients), use `/mode YOURNICK +mo-des` and you set umodes "mo"
|
|
and unset "des". *These might not be real umodes and they are here just as
|
|
an example.*
|
|
|
|
## Automatic umodes
|
|
|
|
Umodes aren't remembered across connections so you must configure your
|
|
client to (un)set them automatically. **Your umodes won't be change this
|
|
way until you reconnect!**
|
|
|
|
*These examples use the umodes that I am using at the time of writing.*
|
|
|
|
* HexChat: Open network list, select network and click `edit`, open tab
|
|
`Connect commands`, click `add` and type `umode -iI+wRQxg`.
|
|
* WeeChat
|
|
* Old way: `/set irc.server_default.command /mode $nick -iI+wRQxg`
|
|
* Modern way (1.7+): `/set irc.server_default.usermode -iI+wRQxg`
|
|
* *For setting umodes only for one network instead of them all
|
|
replace server_default with server.name, e.g.*
|
|
* `/set irc.server.freenode.usermode -iI+wRQxg`
|
|
* ZNC:
|
|
* Traditional way: `/msg *status loadmod perform` and
|
|
`/msg *perform add mode %nick% -iI+wRQxg`
|
|
* The same can also be done in webadmin and if you load perform for
|
|
user level, adding the command `mode %nick% -iI+wRQxg` will set
|
|
umode -iI+wrqXG on all networks.
|
|
* The modes will apply to all networks if you load it on user
|
|
level or only the invidual network on network level.
|
|
* Modern way: [ZNC issue #1221](https://github.com/znc/znc/issues/1221)
|
|
|
|
### And what these umodes mean
|
|
|
|
This list is what I want the umodes to mean when I set them automatically.
|
|
For what the actual umodes are on your network, try `/quote help umode` or
|
|
`/quote help umodes`.
|
|
|
|
* i — invisible, hides your channel list from whois with ircd-seven and
|
|
possibly some other ircds. Also hides you from /who of people who don't
|
|
share channels with you. [See also why I unset it here.]({% post_url 2015-03-26-umode--i %})
|
|
* I — On InspIRCd with [hidechans] module hides your channel list from
|
|
whois.
|
|
* w — receive wallops, less-important announcements from network operators
|
|
that are only received by those who are curious and have umode +w. More
|
|
important announcements are usually global notices.
|
|
* R — block PMs from unidentified users (who tend to be spambots and if
|
|
they aren't, they can identify to services).
|
|
* Q — block channel redirects on Charybdis (mode +f or banforward).
|
|
* x — activates IRCd based uncloaking even if it's [not that reliable.](https://gist.github.com/maxteufel/1e2cf7ada079c271bd3c)
|
|
* g — caller-id, people must be `/accepted` or PMed before they can PM you.
|
|
More detailed post about that [here]({% post_url 2015-04-02-umodeg %})
|
|
and [part 2 here]({% post_url 2015-05-10-umodeg2 %}).
|
|
* t — only users using SSL can PM.
