QueenElsa edited this page May 24, 2019 · 1 revision

About this plugin: This plugin contains tools for IRC Operators.

Special Notes

  • This plugin won't work if you aren't an IRC Operator.
  • This plugin is only intended to be used with ircu servers.
    • It should work with ircu-based servers like Nefarious 2.
    • It likely won't work with other types of ircd servers.
  • While this plugin is capable of detecting netsplits, it is not capable of detecting or repairing successive netsplits.
  • There are other planned features for this plugin that have not been included in the current build. Check back here often!

Usage

  • Install and Load the DLL into AdiIRC.
    • File > Plugins
    • Select the plugin from the wherever you have it stored.
    • Don't forget to load it, if necessary.
  • During a netsplit, the plugin will automatically alert you of the netsplit and give you the option to perform a fix.

Commands

Command Name Description
/fixnet Without any additional parameters, this command will attempt to relink the split server to it's last known hub.
/fixnet about Displays information about the Fixnet Module included in this plugin.
/fixnet help Displays the help output. That would be this table of commands you're currently reading.
/fixnet link <hub> By specifying a hub, you will override the last known hub. Fixnet will use the specified up as the new point of uplink.

This plugin cannot resolve successive netsplits. If two or more netsplits occur back to back, the plugin will only be able to fix the last split. All preceding netsplits must be manually fixed by the operator (that's you). This is due to the linear nature of IRC. In a future release, a workaround might be developed. At the moment, this is a known issue with the OperTools plugin.
