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.
