Command Changes
Deprecated Commands
New Commands
Channel Properties
Nickname Properties
These commands are being removed from CR as they’ll be redundant to commands that are being added. It is planned that we will have a version that supports both command sets for a ‘very’ short while to allow users to modify their scripts. |
| /NS REGISTER |
This command has been scrapped in favor of a web-based system for registering LUIDs (work not finished). Once a LUID is registered, then the /ATTACH <nickname> command will "bind" the nickname to your LUID. |
| /NS DROP |
This command has been replaced by /DETACH <nickname>. |
/NS GHOST
/NS RECOVER
/NS RELEASE |
These commands have been "rolled" into /NICK <nickname> <password>. When you use that form of the command, someone using your nick will be changed to a Guest. |
| /NS SET |
The entire SET command set has been moved into /PROP. |
| /NS RESET |
This command has been scrapped in favor of a (yet to be developed) web-based system. |
| /NS VERIFY |
This command has been scrapped in favor of a (yet to be developed) web-based system. |
| /NS ACCESS |
This command has been removed. Access lists for LUIDs are no longer supported. |
/NS UNIDENTIFY |
This command is obsolete. Identification is permanent. |
/NS WATCH |
These commands are obsolete. The server will automatically save/restore your buddy list. Watch lists retain their temporary character (mostly to work around mIRC bugs) |
/CS ACC
/CS WHY |
The CS ACC and CS WHY commands have been merged into /ACCESS #<channel> <nickname>. |
| /CS ATTACH |
The CS ATTACH command has been moved to /ATTACH. |
All other /CS /NS /MS commands have been replaced by the commands below. The aliases for ChanServ, NickServ and MemoServ will also be removed from the server. Services is now being moved into each server with an off server database. |
The following list may change without notice as we dial in additional features of the 3.x server command set. |
/AUTH <nickname> |
This uses the same syntax of /NS AUTH, but that may change as the command set is revised to ensure that it's clean and understandable.
Replaces: /NS AUTH |
| /BUDDY <nickname> <add|delete|list> |
Replaces: /NS BUDDY |
/IDENTIFY <luid|nick> <password>. |
Note that the <nickname> will become <luid> eventually.
Replaces: /NS SIDENTIFY |
/NICK <nickname> <password> |
Replaces: /NS SIDENTIFY <nickname> <password> |
/INFO <nickname|channel|server> |
We’re thinking of replacing the standard info that returns your current server with a far more detailed report of your current connection status, times, channels, last message, memo’s etc.
Replaces: /NS INFO and /CS INFO |
| /ACCESS <nickname|channel> |
An optional <nickname> can be tagged to retrieve access instead of the current nick (only if you're identified to the nick or you are an oper)
Replaces: /NS LISTCHANS, /CS WHY, CS ACC |
/LIST <nickname|channel> |
This command has not yet been integrated into CR. It will, eventually be tied into /LIST
Replaces: /NS LIST, /CS LIST |
| /ACL #<channel> [<level>] <add|del|list|wipe|count|enable|disable> |
If using LIST, the level can be omitted to list all the levels at once. The rest of the syntax remains similar to the CS versions. The extra keyword "COUNT" is also available, which emulates the old /CS COUNT behavior. When using "COUNT" the level is optional.
Replaces: CS UOP/VOP/AOP/SOP/MGR: |
/AKICK #<channel> <add|del|list|wipe> |
Replaces: /CS AKICK |
/ATTACH |
Replaces: /CS ATTACH |
/MODE #<channel> <mode> <luid|nickname> |
This has been modified to replace the /CS OP/DEOP/VOICE/DEVOICE commands. A user can now mode themselves directly in the channel if they have access. Using mode will now let you mode someone even if you don't have a @ currently in the channel. The logic is that it will check your access and allow the mode.
Replaces: /CS OP/DEOP/VOICE/DEVOICE: |
/INVITE |
You must use /INVITE #<channel> to invoke INVITE on yourself.
Replaces: /CS INVITE |
| /KICK #<channel> <wildcard> |
This command has been merged into /KICK with the help of masks. A /KICK #<channel> * achieves the MKICK effect.
Replaces: /CS MKICK |
/TRANSFER #<channel> <nickname>. |
Replaces: /CS FTRANSFER |
/AUTH #<channel> |
This command has been moved into /AUTH #<channel> ... and retains the syntax of /CS AUTH. This is likely to change, as the command set is cleaned up though.
Replaces: /CS AUTH |
/PROP <nickname|channel> |
Please see PROP list
Replaces: /CS SET: |
/MEMO <target> [MTARGET <target specifier>] [MTOPIC <topic> MBODY] body #<channel> <uop|vop|aop|sop|mgr> |
Replaces: /MS SEND |
/READ <type|memo> <number> |
Replaces: /MS READ |
/SILENCE <nickname> <add|del> <memo|nick|luid> |
Replaces: /MS IGNORE |
| /FOLDER <select|stat|create|del/delete|undel|move> |
Replaces: /MS <select|stat|create|del/delete|undel|move> |
Note: Folders are designed to hold more than memo’s. In the future they will also be containers for email, files and other objects that are in the system.
All OperServ commands are still accessible via OperServ, and existing servbot commands remain. Commands that been removed from services completely (e.g. /NS ACCESS and /NS SET SECURE) will return the appropriate "no such command" error.
Note: The oper commands for NickServ/ChanServ are missing from this document as it hasn’t been decided how they’ll be handled in the future versions.

| Shortly channel properties will take over for all channel modes. That’s not to say that channel modes are going to be removed from the server but rather they’ll set default property values. Going this route will enable us to provide for far more functionality than the limited mode commands will. As an example let’s take channel mode +s/+p secret and private (which in CR do the same thing); when you set +s it will set the visibility that you might expect with that mode. However, you will be able to go to the channel property ‘visibility’ and then fine tune how you want your channel to be visible online such as: Show Topic, Show in whois, Show in list etc. Now visibility hasn’t been coded yet nor many of the other properties that will replace modes but this is the direction that we are heading. |
