Channel
The channel class represents the out-of-character chat-room usable by
Accounts in-game. It is mostly overloaded to change its appearance, but
channels can be used to implement many different forms of message
distribution systems.
Note that sending data to channels are handled via the CMD_CHANNEL
syscommand (see evennia.syscmds). The sending should normally not need
to be modified.
"""
from evennia.comms.comms import DefaultChannel
class Channel(DefaultChannel):
r"""
This is the base class for all Channel Comms. Inherit from this to
create different types of communication channels.
Class-level variables:
- `send_to_online_only` (bool, default True) - if set, will only try to
send to subscribers that are actually active. This is a useful optimization.
- `log_file` (str, default `"channel_{channelname}.log"`). This is the
log file to which the channel history will be saved. The `{channelname}` tag
will be replaced by the key of the Channel. If an Attribute 'log_file'
is set, this will be used instead. If this is None and no Attribute is found,
no history will be saved.
- `channel_prefix_string` (str, default `"[{channelname} ]"`) - this is used
as a simple template to get the channel prefix with `.channel_prefix()`. It is used
in front of every channel message; use `{channelmessage}` token to insert the
name of the current channel. Set to `None` if you want no prefix (or want to
handle it in a hook during message generation instead.
- `channel_msg_nick_pattern`(str, default `"{alias}\s*?|{alias}\s+?(?P<arg1>.+?)") -
this is what used when a channel subscriber gets a channel nick assigned to this
channel. The nickhandler uses the pattern to pick out this channel's name from user
input. The `{alias}` token will get both the channel's key and any set/custom aliases
per subscriber. You need to allow for an `<arg1>` regex group to catch any message
that should be send to the channel. You usually don't need to change this pattern
unless you are changing channel command-style entirely.
- `channel_msg_nick_replacement` (str, default `"channel {channelname} = $1"` - this
is used by the nickhandler to generate a replacement string once the nickhandler (using
the `channel_msg_nick_pattern`) identifies that the channel should be addressed
to send a message to it. The `<arg1>` regex pattern match from `channel_msg_nick_pattern`
will end up at the `$1` position in the replacement. Together, this allows you do e.g.
'public Hello' and have that become a mapping to `channel public = Hello`. By default,
the account-level `channel` command is used. If you were to rename that command you must
tweak the output to something like `yourchannelcommandname {channelname} = $1`.
* Properties:
mutelist
banlist
wholist
* Working methods:
get_log_filename()
set_log_filename(filename)
has_connection(account) - check if the given account listens to this channel
connect(account) - connect account to this channel
disconnect(account) - disconnect account from channel
access(access_obj, access_type='listen', default=False) - check the
access on this channel (default access_type is listen)
create(key, creator=None, *args, **kwargs)
delete() - delete this channel
message_transform(msg, emit=False, prefix=True,
sender_strings=None, external=False) - called by
the comm system and triggers the hooks below
msg(msgobj, header=None, senders=None, sender_strings=None,
persistent=None, online=False, emit=False, external=False) - main
send method, builds and sends a new message to channel.
tempmsg(msg, header=None, senders=None) - wrapper for sending non-persistent
messages.
distribute_message(msg, online=False) - send a message to all
connected accounts on channel, optionally sending only
to accounts that are currently online (optimized for very large sends)
mute(subscriber, **kwargs)
unmute(subscriber, **kwargs)
ban(target, **kwargs)
unban(target, **kwargs)
add_user_channel_alias(user, alias, **kwargs)
remove_user_channel_alias(user, alias, **kwargs)
Useful hooks:
at_channel_creation() - called once, when the channel is created
basetype_setup()
at_init()
at_first_save()
channel_prefix() - how the channel should be
prefixed when returning to user. Returns a string
format_senders(senders) - should return how to display multiple
senders to a channel
pose_transform(msg, sender_string) - should detect if the
sender is posing, and if so, modify the string
format_external(msg, senders, emit=False) - format messages sent
from outside the game, like from IRC
format_message(msg, emit=False) - format the message body before
displaying it to the user. 'emit' generally means that the
message should not be displayed with the sender's name.
channel_prefix()
pre_join_channel(joiner) - if returning False, abort join
post_join_channel(joiner) - called right after successful join
pre_leave_channel(leaver) - if returning False, abort leave
post_leave_channel(leaver) - called right after successful leave
at_pre_msg(message, **kwargs)
at_post_msg(message, **kwargs)
