                                  IRC Module


  This module controls the bots interaction on IRC. It allows the bot to
  join channels, etc. You have to load this if you want your bot to come on
  irc.

    This module requires: server, channels

  Put this line into your Eggdrop configuration file to load the irc
  module:

    loadmodule irc

  There are also some variables you can set in your config file:

    set bounce-bans 1
      Set this to 1 if you want to bounce all server bans.


    set bounce-exempts 0
      Set this to 1 if you want to bounce all server exemptions (+e modes).
      This is disabled if use-exempts is disabled.


    set bounce-invites 0
      Set this to 1 if you want to bounce all server invitations (+I modes).
      This is disabled if use-invites is disabled.


    set bounce-modes 0
      Set this to 1 if you want to bounce all server modes.


    set max-modes 30
      There is a global limit for +b/+e/+I modes. This limit should be set to
      the same value as max-bans for networks that do not support +e/+I.


    set max-bans 30
      Set here the maximum number of bans you want the bot to set on a channel.
      Eggdrop will not place any more bans if this limit is reached. Undernet
      currently allows 45 bans, IRCnet allows 30, EFnet allows 100, and DALnet
      allows 100.


    set max-exempts 20
      Set here the maximum number of exempts you want Eggdrop to set on a
      channel. Eggdrop will not place any more exempts if this limit is
      reached.


    set max-invites 20
      Set here the maximum number of invites you want Eggdrop to set on a
      channel. Eggdrop will not place any more invites if this limit is
      reached.


    set use-exempts 0
    set use-invites 0
      These settings should be left commented unless the default values are
      being overridden. By default, exempts and invites are on for EFnet and
      IRCnet, but off for all other large networks. This behavior can be
      modified with the following 2 flags. If your network doesn't support
      +e/+I modes then you will be unable to use these features.


    set kick-fun 0
      Set this to 1 if you want the bot to kick for control character/ctcp
      avalanches to a channel. Remember that if it does, it won't ban them.
      This can start kick floods.


    set ban-fun 0
      Set this to 1 if you want the bot to ban for control character/ctcp
      avalanches to a channel. This can prevent kick floods, but it also can
      fill the banlist.


    set learn-users 0
      If you want people to be able to add themselves to the bot's userlist
      with the default userflags (defined above in the config file) via the
      'hello' msg command, set this to 1.


    set wait-split 600
      Set here the time (in seconds) to wait for someone to return from a
      netsplit (i.e. wasop will expire afterwards). Set this to 1500 on IRCnet
      since its nick delay stops after 30 minutes.


    set wait-info 180
      Set here the time (in seconds) that someone must have been off-channel
      before re-displaying their info line.


    set mode-buf-length 200
      Set this to the maximum number of bytes to send in the arguments of
      modes sent to the server. Most servers default this to 200.


    unbind msg - hello *msg:hello
    bind msg - myword *msg:hello
      Many IRCops find bots by seeing if they reply to 'hello' in a msg. You
      can change this to another word by un-commenting thse two lines and
      changing "myword" to the word wish to use instead of'hello'. It must be
      a single word.


    unbind msg - ident *msg:ident
    unbind msg - addhost *msg:addhost
      Many takeover attempts occur due to lame users blindly /msg ident'ing to
      the bot and attempting to guess passwords. We now unbind this command by
      default to discourage them. You can enable this command by un-commenting
      these two lines.


    set opchars "@"
    #set opchars "@&~"
      Some IRC servers are using some non-standard op-like channel
      prefixes/modes. Define them here so the bot can recognize them. Just
      "@" should be fine for most networks. Un-comment the second line for
      some UnrealIRCds.


    set no-chanrec-info 0
      If you are so lame you want the bot to display peoples info lines, even
      when you are too lazy to add their chanrecs to a channel, set this to 1.
      *NOTE* This means *every* user with an info line will have their info
      line displayed on EVERY channel they join (provided they have been gone
      longer than wait-info).


    These were the core irc module settings. There are more settings for
    'net-type' 1 and 5. net-type has to be set in the server module config
    section.


    Use the following settings only if you set 'net-type' to 1!


    set prevent-mixing 1
      At the moment, the current IRCnet IRCd version (2.10) doesn't support the
      mixing of b, o and v modes with e and I modes. This might be changed in
      the future, so use 1 at the moment for this setting.


    Use the following settings only if you set 'net-type' to 5!


    set kick-method 1
      If your network supports more users per kick command then 1, you can
      change this behavior here. Set this to the number of users to kick at
      once, or set this to 0 for all at once.


    set modes-per-line 3
      Some networks allow you to stack lots of channel modes into one line.
      They're all guaranteed to support at least 3, so that's the default.
      If you know your network supports more, you may want to adjust this.
      This setting is limited to 6, although if you want to use a higher
      value, you can modify this by changing the value of MODES_PER_LINE_MAX
      in src/chan.h and recompiling the bot.


    set include-lk 1
      Some networks don't include the +l limit and +k or -k key modes in the
      modes-per-line (see above) limitation. Set include-lk to 0 for these
      networks.


    set use-354 0
      Set this to 1 if your network uses IRCu2.10.01 specific /who requests.
      Eggdrop can, therefore, ask only for exactly what's needed.


    set rfc-compliant 1
      If your network doesn't use rfc 1459 compliant string matching routines,
      set this to 0.
