nickregain is a perl script for Weechat 0.3.0+ that checks if your current nick is your primary nick and attempts to recover it if it isn’t.
It does this by looking for nick quits and nick changes, and checked every x seconds.
You can also specify a set of commands to issue to regain your primary nick instead.
Current Version: 1.1.1 [ dl ]
(released: 25-04-2010)
Command Usage:
- /nickregain on|off|now|all
Set regain on or off for a server
‘now’ runs a one time test on current server
‘all’ runs a one time test on all servers
Settings:
‘nickregain’ stores all it’s settings in Weechat’s plugins.conf, the following can be set there, by using /set or the ‘iset’ plug-in
- servername_enabled –
/set plugins.var.perl.nickregain.servername_enabled
This sets whether the nickregain is will run on a server
(Default: ‘off’) - servername_command –
/set plugins.var.perl.nickregain.servername_command
Setting this will make nickregain issue this command instead of just “/nick” and override all other methods
You WILL need to add the ‘/nick’ command to this
Use $nick to mark the nick, Commands can be separated using ;
e.g/msg nickserv ghost $nick;/nick $nick;/msg nickserv identify password
See ‘/msg nickserv help’ for exact syntax
(Default: blank) - servername_command_delay –
/set plugins.var.perl.nickregain.servername_command_delay
This sets the delay between the server connection and the command being triggered
(Default: 0) - servername_delay –
/set plugins.var.perl.nickregain.servername_delay
This sets the delay between each /ison check
Used incase you can’t see the old nick quit or nick change
(Default: ’60’)
