Fix force-rejoin not working if doing SVSMODE -x/+x (Koragg, #5015). Note to module coders: Please use the following procedure in case of an user/host change: * userhost_save_current(acptr); * << change username or hostname here (or both) >> * userhost_changed(acptr); This function will take care of notifying other clients about the userhost change, such as doing PART+JOIN+MODE if force-rejoin is enabled, and sending :xx CHGHOST user host messages to "CAP chghost" capable clients. Also, small note to everyone: If force-rejoin is enabled we will not send the PART+JOIN+MODE to "CAP chghost" capable clients. Doing so is just a hack to notify people of a userhost change. "CAP chghost" users can thus benefit from the reduced noise in this respect.
About UnrealIRCd
UnrealIRCd is an Open Source IRC Server, serving thousands of networks since 1999. It runs on Linux, OS X and Windows and is currently the most widely deployed IRCd with a market share of over 50%. UnrealIRCd is a highly advanced IRCd with a strong focus on modularity, an advanced and highly configurable configuration file. Key features include SSL, cloaking, its advanced anti-flood and anti-spam systems, swear filtering and module support. We are also particularly proud on our extensive online documentation.
How to get started
Please consult our excellent online documentation at https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/ when setting up the IRCd!
Step 1: Installation
Windows
Simply download the UnrealIRCd Windows version from www.unrealircd.org
Alternatively you can compile UnrealIRCd for Windows yourself. However this is not straightforward and thus not recommended.
*BSD/Linux/OS X
First you must compile the IRCd:
- Run
./Config - Run
make - Run
make install - Now change to the directory where you installed UnrealIRCd, e.g.
cd /home/xxxx/unrealircd
Step 2: Configuration
Configuration files are stored in the conf/ folder by default (eg: /home/xxxx/unrealircd/conf)
Create a configuration file
If you are new, then you need to create your own configuration file: Copy conf/examples/example.conf to conf/ and call it unrealircd.conf. Then open it in an editor and carefully modify it using the documentation and FAQ as a guide (see below).
Step 3: Booting
Linux/*BSD/OS X
Run ./unrealircd start in the directory where you installed UnrealIRCd.
Windows
Start -> All Programs -> UnrealIRCd -> UnrealIRCd
