Enabling and Configuring Modules

Newnet allows users to enable, disable, and configure individual modules directly from the IRC channel using the ,config command. This section provides a guide on how to do so.

General Syntax

The general syntax for the ,config command is:
,config [:name] [setting [value]]

  • context: Specifies the context in which the setting should be applied. It can be one of:
    • user: For user-specific settings.
    • channel: For channel-specific settings.
    • server: For server-specific settings.
    • bot: For bot-wide settings.
  • name: Optional. Used to specify a particular user or channel.
  • setting: The specific configuration setting you want to modify. If the setting name starts with a -, it indicates that the setting should be unset or removed.
  • value: The new value you want to set for the configuration setting.

Example: Configuring the SED Module

The SED module has two primary configuration options:

  • sed: Enable or disable the sed functionality in a channel.
  • sed-sender-only: Enable or disable sed only looking at the messages sent by the user.

To enable the SED module in a specific channel:

,config channel:<channel_name> sed true

To enable the sed-sender-only option:

,config channel:<channel_name> sed-sender-only true

To disable the SED module in a specific channel:

,config channel:<channel_name> sed false

Remember to replace <channel_name> with the actual name of the channel you wish to configure.

This method can be applied similarly to other modules. Always refer to the specific module’s documentation or the bot’s source code for precise configuration options and values.
