The "irc" resource provides an echobot that outputs information such as chatmessages on a irc channel. Information about "irc" or "Internet Relay Chat" can be found on Wikipedia.

Installation

To get this resource working on your Linux or Windows server, follow these steps:

  • Install the sockets module
    • Download the module: You can download the module on the mta-modules project. Download the ml_sockets.dll file for Windows and the ml_sockets.so file for Linux
    • Put the module in the MTA folder: In order for MTA to load the module it must be placed in the mods/deathmatch/modules folder, if this folder does not exist yet, make it.
    • Add the module to the mtaserver.conf file: To load the module when the MTA server starts, put this line <module src="ml_sockets.dll"/> in your config file for Windows and <module src="ml_sockets.so"/> in the config file for Linux.
  • Install the IRC resource
    • Download the resource: The IRC resource can be found on the community, put it in the resources folder.
    • Mod the settings.xml file: Open this file and follow the instructions inside to configure the IRC bot.
    • Mod the meta.xml file: In this file a few settings can be found regarding ads and ingame gui's, do not mod anything else! You can also change these settings in the admin panel once the resource has been loaded.
    • Acl rights The resource needs a couple of acl rights in order to work properly, including addBan, kickPlayer & callRemote. Any missing rights will prevent the resource from loading and will output a message in the console.

Now you can run the resource, if the server was running during this installation proces you will have to do /loadmodule ml_sockets.dll or /loadmodule ml_sockets.so and /refreshall before doing /start irc

The acl.xml file

The acl.xml file inside the irc resource takes care of the acl rights for irc commands.

Syntax

<command name="!kick" level="2" echoChannelOnly="true" />
  • The name is the command including the exclamation mark
  • The level is the minimum level the irc user needs to have in order to use this command
  • The echoChannelOnly is wether the command can be used outside the echo channel

Elements

All users, channels & servers known by the irc resource are represented by elements.

  • Servers are the following elements type: 'irc-server'
  • Channels are the following elements type: 'irc-channel'
  • Users are the following elements type: 'irc-user'

Level system

The irc resource doesn't use the irc modes system for its acl, instead the modes were replaced with numbers.

  • Owner (~) is now level 5
  • Super Operator (&) is now level 4
  • Operator (@) is now level 3
  • Helper (%) is now level 2
  • Voice (+) is now level 1

All other users without a special mode are level 0

Events

During the irc proces some events are triggered to help you write extensions for the irc resource. You may want to use addEvent("eventName") to use them.

Name Source Parameters
onIRCConnecting server theIRCServer

onIRCConnect server theIRCServer

onIRCFailConnect server theIRCServer
string reason
onIRCUserJoin user theIRCUser
channel theIRCChannel, string vhost
onIRCUserNickChange user theIRCUser
string oldNick, string newNick
onIRCUserPart user theIRCUser
channel theIRCChannel, string theReason

NOTE: 'theReason' can be nil if 'theUser' has quit without a reason.

onIRCUserKick user theIRCUser
channel theIRCChannel, string theReason, user theKicker

NOTE: 'theKicker' can be false if 'theUser' was kicked by a service like the NickServ.

onIRCPrivateMessage user theIRCUser
string theMessage
onIRCMessage user theIRCUser
channel theIRCChannel, string theMessage
onIRCPrivateNotice user theIRCUser
string theMessage
onIRCNotice user theIRCUser
channel theIRCChannel, string theMessage
onIRCUserMode user theIRCUser
channel theIRCChannel, boolean positive, string theMode, user theSetter

NOTE: 'theSetter' can be false if 'theUser' was opped by a service like the NickServ.

onIRCChannelMode channel theIRCChannel
boolean positive, string theMode, user theSetter

onIRCLevelChange user theIRCUser
channel theIRCChannel, number oldlevel, number newlevel
onIRCUserQuit user theIRCUser
string theReason

Exported functions

These functions can be called from another resource to help you write extensions for the irc resource. Use the exports table or call to use them

Example 1:

[Lua]
	exports.irc:ircConnect("irc.gtanet.com","bot",6667)

Example 2:

[Lua]
	call(getResourceFromName("irc"),"ircConnect","irc.gtanet.com","bot",6667)

Modding

Please don't mod the resource, you might break it and cause it to malfunction or to spam errors. If this happens you will not get any support. Write extensions instead.
