Installation:
Although it isn't very important there are a few default values at the top of the script which could be changed.
The prefix ~ has been hard coded to work on any server. So acceptable channels would be `~support` and `~bnc`
The first setting is the list of channels which the user will be not permitted to leave once joined (basically /part will be ignored for these channels.)
Give these channels as a list, sperated by spaces for example `~kh` and `~support` would be:
`set ::partynopart [list ~kh ~support]`
This setting is not recommended, but is a better alternitive to forcing users into a channel.
The other main setting is mainly cosmetic, which host to show on internal events, for example:
`set ::partyhost "sBNC.KHobbits.net"`
You could always change the default channel, but this isn't as important as it can be changed inside.
Usage:
Admins can configure channels, join users, and control other aspects of the partyline via the internal admin commands
To list active partylines use /sbnc partyline list, to add to the list use /sbnc partyline add
Type /sbnc help partyline for more information and a list of commands.
Another command available to admins is mpartyline, a mass version of the single user commands
After being set up, users can then interact with other users and partyline channels like they would on an normal network for example: `/join ~channel`
Once you join a channel, you will be aware that users are prefixed with a - to seperate them from normal users, these users can be noticed/privmsg'd/whois'd like normal users.
Another feature is the username `--` this user behaves as a hub, ie /notice -- will send to all online users.
