Description

This module allows server operators to be given privileges that allow them to ignore various channel-level restrictions.

Configuration

To load this module use the following <module> tag:

<module name="override">

<oper> & <type>

This module extends the core <oper> and <type> tags with the following fields:

Name Type Default Value Description
override Text None A space-delimited list of channel-level restrictions that a server operator can ignore.

The override field should be set to one or more of the following values:

Example Usage

<oper name="Sadie"
      ...
      override="BANWALK INVITE KEY LIMIT">

Allows server operators of type NetAdmin to ignore any restrictions that might prevent them from joining a channel:

<type name="NetAdmin"

<override>

The <override> tag defines settings about how the override module should behave. This tag can only be defined once.

Name Type Default Value Description

noisy Boolean No Whether to inform the channel when a server operator overrides a restriction.
requirekey Boolean No Whether overriding server operators should have to specify a channel key of override when joining a channel.
timeout Duration 0s New in v3.13.0! The time period to remove the override mode after. If set to 0 then it will never be automatically removed.
Example Usage
<override enableumode="yes"
