theater mode about ergonomadic HOT 7 CLOSED

This should probably depend on SASL support (#6) so we can restrict logins to specific users.

Ugh, sasl is a pain. I'm going to implement this with special command THEATER, which will work like OPER.

from ergonomadic.

I recommend following the operator config section:

[theater "name"]
password = <bcrypt>

You may want to have THEATER use subcommands. e.g.

THEATER IDENTIFY <password>
THEATER PRIVMSG <as-nick> <channel> :<message>
THEATER NOTICE <as-nick> <channel> :<message>

/me is implemented using CTCP ACTION, so that's the message part of PRIVMSG and NOTICE.

We probably want to set a flag on the channel to indicate it's a theater (+T ) which references the nickname of the bot.

I think it'd be better with <channel> first (and on IDENTIFY too):

THEATER IDENTIFY <channel> <password>
THEATER PRIVMSG <channel> <as-nick> :<message>
THEATER NOTICE <channel> <as-nick> :<message>

Here's how I'm thinking this will work:

• on THEATER IDENTIFY: if right password for channel and mode T not set, create channel if necessary, set mode T with this nick, else error.
• on THEATER {PRIVMSG,NOTICE}: if channel has mode T with this nick, do it, else error.

On nick QUIT or disconnect, unset mode T.

Revised:

• on THEATER IDENTIFY: if channel exists, correct password, and mode T is not set, set mode T with this user, else error.
• on THEATER {PRIVMSG,NOTICE}: if channel exists and has mode T with this user, do it, else error.
• on user QUIT or disconnect, unset mode T.

Main differences:

• channel not created if it doesn't exist.
• user instead of nick referenced in flag so that the user can change his nick without losing theater privs.

Instead of THEATER NOTICE, THEATER ACTION.
