TLD block

By default everyone gets to see the same MOTD (ircd.motd file), rules (ircd.rules file), opermotd, etc... With the tld block you can show different files to a user depending on their hostname or IP. This is for example useful if you want different motds for different languages.

Syntax

tld {
	mask <hostmask>;
	motd <motd-file>;
	rules <rules-file>;
	shortmotd <shortmotd-file>;
	opermotd <opermotd-file>;
	botmotd <botmotd-file>;
	channel <channel-name>;
	options {
		tls;
	};
};

The tld::mask is a mask item telling who should be affected by this TLD block.

The tld::motd, tld::shortmotd, tld::opermotd, tld::botmotd, and tld::rules items specify the motd, shortmotd, opermotd, botmotd, and rules file, respectively, to be displayed.

You can also specify tld::channel which makes clients auto join this channel (this will override the default channel(s) in set::auto-join). You can specify multiple channels, eg channel #one,#two,#three;

The tld::options block allows you to define additional requirements (rarely used): tld::options::tls only displays the file for SSL/TLS users, and tld::options::remote which only displays the file for remote users, exists.

TLD entries are matched upside down.

Examples

tld {
	mask *.es;
	motd "ircd.es.motd";
	rules "ircd.es.rules";
}

Or with UnrealIRCd 6.0.4+:

/* Spanish MOTD for Spanish speaking countries */
tld {
	mask { country { ES; AR; BO; CL; CO; CR; DO; EC; SV; GT; HN; MX; NI; PA; PY; PE; PR; UY; VE; } }
	motd "ircd.es.motd";
	rules "ircd.es.rules";
}

You can also use URLs:

tld {
	mask { country FR; }
	motd "https://example.org/files/ircd.fr.motd";
	rules "https://example.org/files/ircd.fr.rules";
}
