HexChat plugin for roleplaying character names

Primary LanguagePythonOtherNOASSERTION

SwitchMask

Manage your identity.

Why?

I'm lazy. I like roleplaying on the DarkMyst IRC network, but I don't like changing my nick for a character, since that can make me hard to find if I'm switching roles. Instead, I wanted an easy way to prepend my character's name to my messages for certain channels.

How?

Masks are stored on a per-channel basis. To set the mask for the current channel, use:

/mask Herp

To remove the mask for the current channel, use:

/unmask

Using /mask without an argument will show the mask for the current channel.

You may also send a message "unmasked" (without the mask prefix) by prefixing your message with /unmasked, as in:

/unmasked Hello!
