## Elemental-ircd specific deviations from the normal TS6 protocol
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As a general rule of thumb and for compatibility reasons, protocol changes are
|
|
|
|
|
made as infrequently and minimally as possible. However there are some things
|
|
|
|
|
that have been changed in how elemental handles the server to server protocol
|
|
|
|
|
that are worth mentioning.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For readability's sake, any lines that a server sends are prefixed by `>>>` and
|
|
|
|
|
any lines it expects to recieve are prefixed by `<<<`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Changes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Channel owner mode
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If enabled, a new mode will be added to the channel prefix list. This mode (+y)
|
|
|
|
|
has a prefix of "~" and in most IRC services packages is used to signify the
|
|
|
|
|
owner of a specific channel. If enabled, it will show up in SJOIN lines as such:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
>>> :[sid] SJOIN [channel-ts] #opers + :~[ts6-uid]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A more practical example would be:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
>>> :420 SJOIN 13840003504 #opers + :~@42000000A
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As the mode for this channel is `+y`, all `TMODE` changes adding or removing `+y`
|
|
|
|
|
from a client in a channel should set and unset this mode accordingly. An example
|
|
|
|
|
of adding the mode follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
>>> :47GAAAAAB TMODE 13840003504 #opers +y 42000000A
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Handling removal is similar.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Currently, the only way to detect if a remote server supports these extended
|
|
|
|
|
modes is to remotely query a server's `VERSION` and read out the `005` reply.

### Things added to existing commands
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Server notice mask broadcasts
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Currently the NEEDSASL, DNSBL hit, hunted command flooding and `m_post` rejections
|
|
|
|
|
are globally broadcast server notices. They will show up in TS6 lines such as:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<<< :[sid] ENCAP * SNOTE [snomask] :[server name] :[message]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For a more practical example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<<< :47G ENCAP * SNOTE b :rarity.shadownet.int :Client floodbot (~a@127.0.0.1) is attempting to flood ADMIN
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These broadcasts are there for IRC operators on more centrally managed networks
|
|
|
|
|
to better see what is going on on other ends of the network without having to hop
|
|
|
|
|
servers and check. Bots or pseudoservices may also uses these lines to perform
|
|
|
|
|
additional actions (such as `AKILL`s or logging to channels) as needed by the
|
|
|
|
|
bot author.
