IMCCHANLIST
Syntax: imcchanlist - list all known IMC channels
imcchanlist (channel) - list details on one IMC channel
IMCCHANLIST displays information on channels active on IMC.
Without arguments, it will produce a display similar to:
Name Local name Owner Level Policy
Hub6:PlayerChat pchat Samson@Alsherok 10 open
Hub6:MusicChat mchat Samson@Alsherok 10 open
hub2:PoliticCha polchat Trax@FE 101 open
Hub6:CodeChat cchat Samson@Alsherok 101 open
hub9:IMCChat ichat Trax@FE 101 open
Hub6:mud2mud im2m Samson@Alsherok 113 private
This shows the channel's network name (eg. hub9:IMCChat), the local name
eg ichat - which can be used as an abbreviation in IMCSETUP, and which is also
the command to speak on that channel), the owner of the channel
(eg. Trax@FE), and the channel's policy.
Briefly, channel policies available in version 3.10 are: open, closed, and private.
Open channels can be seen and used by anyone meeting the mud's minimum level for IMC.
Closed channels can be seen by anyone, but may only be used by the list of invited users.
Private channels can only be seen and used by the list of invited users.
If a channel is not configured locally, it will have (not local) for its local name.
If a channel is configured locally, but is not actually active on IMC, it
will have an Unknown flag on it.
IMCCHANLIST with a channel name will provide detailed information on that
channel. For example:
Channel hub9:IMCChat:
Local name: ichat
Regformat : [ichat] %s: %s
Emformat : [ichat] %s %s
Socformat : [ichat] %s
Level : 101
Policy : Open -- Open to all muds
Owner : Trax@FE
Operators : Samson@Alsherok
Invited :
Excluded :
This displays the channel name, local name, policy and owner, as above. It
also displays:
- The minimum level needed on your mud to see the channel
- The format for displaying messages from the channel. These can contain
any color codes etc. that your mud uses.
Regformat is the string displayed when someone speaks normally on the
channel - the first %s is replaced by their name, the second %s by what
they say.
Emformat is a similar string for emotes. Again the first %s is their
name, the second %s the text of their emote.
Socformat is a similar string for emotes. Except there is only one %s and
is the format used to send socials to the network.
- Any operators for the channel. This can only be changed by the owner of
the channel. Operators can modify the 'invited' and 'excluded' fields
via the IMCSETUP command.
- The invited and excluded people on the channel.
