Config

Configuration files are located in these folders

• Linux /home/.lanchat

    "nick": "qwerty123", //user nickname
    "port": "2137",      //connection port
    "notify": "mention", //notify setting
    "log": true,         //log setting
    "attemps": 10,       //max connection attemps

Plugins

Plugins from official repository can be download with /dwn <plugin name> command. Also you can place they in plugins folder manualy. Windows - %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\lanchat-npm\plugins Linux - /usr/lib/node_modules/lanchat-npm/plugins Portable version doesn't support plugins

Host

Use /host command to start lanchat server. Your pseudonym will automatically be assigned administrator privileges. I recommend clearing db.json file after 1.0.0 update because permission has been changed in the new api.

Host configuration and database

You can create a motd.txt file for the host to display the motd message. Users settings and permission is storage in db.json Host settings are storage in config.json

    "ratelimit": 15,    //message per second limit
    "socketlimit": 20,  //max user limit
    "lenghtlimit": 1000 //message lenght limit
