When you access a command, hack.chat automatically knows your permission level from your trip code. The lowest permission level is `core`. `mod` is above `core`, so it can access `core` commands in addition to `mod` commands. `admin` is similarly above `mod`. +The commands are to be sent through a websocket to the URL wss://hack.chat/chat-ws (everything sent and received are `string`s). If you are sending messages locally or to another domain, replace 'hack.chat' with that domain. If you're running your own instance of hack.chat, you can retain backwards-compatibility in order to ensure that software created for the main server will work on yours too. + # `core` |Command|Parameters|Explanation| |-------|----------|-----------| -|`changenick`|`nick`|This will change your current connections nickname| -|`chat`|`text`|Broadcasts passed `text` field to the calling users channel| -|`disconnect`||Event handler or force disconnect (if your into that kind of thing)| -|`help`|`type` or `category`, `command`|Outputs information about the servers current protocol| -|`invite`|`nick`|Generates a unique (more or less) room name and passes it to two clients| -|`join`|`channel`, `nick`|Place calling socket into target channel with target nick & broadcast event to channel| -|`morestats`||Sends back current server stats to the calling client| -|`move`|`channel`|This will change the current channel to the new one provided| +|`changenick`|`nick`|Changes the current connection's nickname.| +|`chat`|`text`|This broadcasts `text` to the channel the user is connected to.| +|`disconnect`||An event handler or forced disconnect.| +|`help`|`category` or `command`|Gives documentation programmatically.
