Wallops/Globops

I really should know this but I don't and I can't find it out, so I guess I'll just ask:

What is the difference between a /wallops and a /globops?
They both send messages to all the opers on the network (with proper SNOMASKs) right?

This is UnrealIRCd if there is any difference between IRCds.

Globops are notice's sent which are only viewable by global IRC operators.

Wallops are viewable by all IRC operators, in addition to, normal users who manually set their mode +w (wallops).

So basically normal users can view wallops messages too, if they elect it via usermode +w.

There are a few rare Globops that are sent to non-opers IIRC. Notice that normal users CAN set +g.

Hmm ok that clears stuff up but I have one question...

I had a misunderstanding of Globops (I thought the "Glob" part of it indicated that it sent the message globally, as in to all IRC Operators on the network, rather than Global IRCops)...so...do they both send the messages to the entire network?

I kinda had a hunch that Wallops was local and Globops was global but I may be wrong.

Also, since Globops refers to Global IRCops, I guess it means Locops could also be network wide huh?

And in testing Wallops and Globops on a normal user with +wg they could see Wallops but not Globops.

Well, Locops are notices sent to all +g opers on the same server. Globops are sent to all +g opers on all servers. Wallops are sent to all +w users on all servers. There are a few rare server-generated globops that are sent to +g-oO users.

Wrong. Use Unreal Smile

As a non-opered client:

That must be a bug (Ive just tried this myself on my Unreal server).

The usermode can be set, but they still cannot send/receive globops messages.

Try reading my posts. There are a few rare server generated GlobOps that normal users can see. You'll have to look for them however.

Yus, its been discussed on the Unreal bugs forum already Plasma.

Oh, and in addition, there's a server-server command to request a NOTICE be sent to all users with a given usermode. Services could use this to say, do SMO g :This message is like GLOBOPS, but all users can see it, not just opers. (This is probably more typically used for something like SMO o :This goes to all ircops regardless of snomasks, +g, +w, +h, whatever.)

It's a server only command.

wallops <message> Sends a message to all users with umode +w
globops <message> Sends a message to all IRCops

that is straight from the Unreal 3.2 doc
