Anope Modules
-------------
Introduction:
Anope 1.6 onwards supports external modules. External modules are pieces
of code that can be attached to a running Anope process dynamically. These
modules can serve several purposes, and perform all kind of operations to
enhance your network.
Installation:
1. You need to configure Anope to be compiled with module support. To
do so you must run ./configure and answer "Yes" when asked for
Module Support, and selecting a folder where your modules will live
in (the default path is safe for most people).
Notes:
* Modules are not supported on the following platforms: OpenBSD, Windows.
* You might need to run "make distclean" prior to running ./configure
2. Compile Anope as usual. The gmake process will now compile module
support into Anope, and compile the default sample modules, and/or
any other module located on the "modules" folder.
3. Install Anope as usual. The install process will place the compiled
modules in their runtime location, making them available for loading.
4. Start or restart services to make use of the new Anope executable.
Usage:
All module manipulation commands are done through OperServ. These are:
MODLOAD Load a module
MODUNLOAD Un-Load a module
MODLIST List loaded modules
MODINFO Info about a loaded module
These commands available to Service Roots only.
You can also load (and pre-load) Modules automatically by loading them
on startup. To do so, edit your services.conf file and change the values
of "ModuleAutoload" and "ModuleDelayedAutoload" to include the modules
you want to load every time Anope starts.
Example:
/msg OperServ modload hs_moo
*** Global -- from OperServ: dengel loaded module hs_moo
-OperServ- Module hs_moo loaded
/msg OperServ modinfo hs_moo
-OperServ- Module: hs_moo Version: 1.1 Author: Anope loaded: Mar 21 10:54:37 2004 CLT
-OperServ- Providing command: /msg HostServ moo
/msg HostServ moo
-HostServ- MOO! - This command was loaded via a module!
/msg OperServ modunload hs_moo
*** Global -- from OperServ: dengel unloaded module hs_moo
-OperServ- Module hs_moo unloaded
/msg HostServ moo
-HostServ- Unknown command moo. "/msg HostServ HELP" for help.
* Note that the name of the module file is "hs_moo.c", yet we load
and reference the module as "hs_moo" only. By naming convention
modules have an abbreviated service name they attach to (hs_ for
HostServ, cs_ for ChanServ, etc) followed by a descriptive keyword.
More Modules:
Anope ships with two sample modules that only illustrates some of the
implemented module capabilities. They don't really do much or anything
useful.
You can download more useful modules from http://www.anope.org/ or from
our interim modules development website http://modules.anope.org/. Just
grab the module file (usually with a .c extension). Place the module
file on your compile "modules" folder. The same folder that contain both
hs_moo.c and catserv.c module files.
The new modules need to be compiled and installed before you can make
use of them:
1. Change directories to your compile "modules" folder.
2. Run ./configure
3. Run make
4. Run make install
You can now use /msg OperServ MODLOAD to load the new modules.
Support:
The Anope team is not responsible or liable for any unofficial module
(i.e. anything other than what was released with the Anope package).
Use modules at your own risk, and make sure you get them from a
reputable source. You might get module support by contacting the module
author, posting on our online forum, or maybe on our #anope channel
at /server irc.anope.org.
