Build dependencies
------------------
- bitlbee and headers >= 3.5
If using distribution version of bitlbee you will need to install the dev
package, usually bitlbee-dev or bitlbee-devel. If bitlbee was built from
source don't forget to do `make install-dev`.
#### bitlbee and headers >= 3.5
- glib2 and headers => 2.32
The library itself is usually installed as a dependency of bitlbee, headers
need to be installed separately. In Debian, the package containing them is
libglib2.0-dev.

A bit of an overkill, but autotools is the build system of choice now, sorry.

Building and Installing

$ sudo make install
If your bitlbee's plugindir is in non-standard location you can specify it by
calling ./configure with --with-plugindir=/path/to/plugindir option.
calling `./configure` with `--with-plugindir=/path/to/plugindir` option.
You can also use the dockerfile from contrib/docker to build a docker container
containing bitlbee + bitlbee-discord. Use this command to run the container:

-----
Plugin adds 'discord' protocol to bitlbee, add your account as usual:
> account add discord <email> <password>
> account discord on
> account add discord <email> <password>
> account discord on
On your first login you might need to authorize bitlbee's ip address
(discord will send you an email with a link) or get a captcha-request. In
latter case you will have to manually set discord login-token to log in:
> account discord off
> acc discord set token_cache xxxxxxxx
> account discord off
> acc discord set token_cache xxxxxxxx
To get your token you'll have to login with your browser and locate it in
"local storage"

You also need to configure discord channels you would like to join/autojoin. To
do that use bitlbee's 'chat list' functionality (`help chat list` and `help
chat add`):
> chat list discord
> chat list discord
This will show you the list of available channel with indexes that can be used
for adding channels.
> chat add discord !1 #mydiscordchannel
> chan #mydiscordchannel set auto_join true
> /join #mydiscordchannel
> chat add discord !1 #mydiscordchannel
> chan #mydiscordchannel set auto_join true
> /join #mydiscordchannel
If you set auto_join to true, next time you reconnect there will be no need to
join the channel manually.

This section describes options available through "account set" bitlbee command
(for help on usage of this command see "help account set").
- host (type: string; default: "discordapp.com")
Discord server hostname. Just in case discord changes the hostname or there
are some alternatives with compatible API.
#### host (type: string; default: "discordapp.com")
Discord server hostname. Just in case discord changes the hostname or there
are some alternatives with compatible API.
- voice_status_notify (type: boolean; default: no)
This enables text notifications in your control channel about users
changing/leaving voice channels. Can be noisy on big servers.
#### voice_status_notify (type: boolean; default: no)
- edit_prefix (type: string; default: "EDIT: ")
A string that will be prefixed to an edited message to distinguish those
from normal ones.
This enables text notifications in your control channel about users
changing/leaving voice channels. Can be noisy on big servers.
- urlinfo_handle (type: string; default: "urlinfo")
User handle that will be used to post url expansion info such as title and
description in groupchats.
#### edit_prefix (type: string; default: "EDIT: ")
A string that will be prefixed to an edited message to distinguish those
from normal ones.
- max_backlog (type: integer; default: 50)
Maximum number of backlog messages per channel to fetch on connection.
Unlike twitter implementation in bitlbee this won't dump seen messages.
Setting this to 0 or negative values disables backlog fetching.
#### urlinfo_handle (type: string; default: "urlinfo")
- send_acks (type: boolean; default: yes)
By default bitlbee-discord will send an "ack" for every message received,
thus marking everything as "read" on mobile/webapp. Setting this to false
will disable all acks from bitlbee-discord.
User handle that will be used to post url expansion info such as title and
description in groupchats.
- mention_suffix (type: string; default: ":")
Suffix used in a regex to look for username mentions to automatically
convert your usual irc-style "nick:" mentions to discord's "<@id>" format.
So if you type "nick: hello" in bitlbee, it will be displayed as
"@nick hello" in discord. This can be multicharacter and you can even do OR
logic here because it is actually used as a part of glib regex. That is
setting this to "[:,]" will match both "nick:" and "nick,". But beware
overcomplicating this may lead to bitlbee-discord spending a lot of time
parsing your outgoing messages. Setting this to "" will disable this
function.
#### max_backlog (type: integer; default: 50)
- mention_ignorecase (type: boolean; default: off)
Ignore case when looking for outgoing mentions. This also affects channel
mentions.
Maximum number of backlog messages per channel to fetch on connection.
Unlike twitter implementation in bitlbee this won't dump seen messages.
Setting this to 0 or negative values disables backlog fetching.
- incoming_me_translation (type: boolean; default: on)
This option controls whether bitlbee-discord will translate incoming
messages that are fully italicized (that is enclosed in '*' characters) to
'/me' messages.
#### send_acks (type: boolean; default: yes)
- never_offline (type: boolean; default: off)
Contacts from this account will never appear as offline and will be marked
away instead.
By default bitlbee-discord will send an "ack" for every message received,
thus marking everything as "read" on mobile/webapp. Setting this to false
will disable all acks from bitlbee-discord.
- server_prefix_len (type: int; default: 3)
Prefix channel names with this many characters of server name. If set to 0
nothing will be prefixed. If set to anything lower than 0 - full server
name will be prefixed. Assuming we have a channel "general" on "beecord"
server here is what channel name you are going to get with different
settings:
-1 - #beecord.general
0 - #general
3 - #bee.general
#### mention_suffix (type: string; default: ":")
Suffix used in a regex to look for username mentions to automatically
convert your usual irc-style "nick:" mentions to discord's "<@id>" format.

- fetch_pinned (type: boolean; default: off)
Fetch pinned messages on channel join.
#### mention_ignorecase (type: boolean; default: off)
Ignore case when looking for outgoing mentions. This also affects channel
mentions.
- friendship_mode (type: boolean; default: on)
With this option enabled, online/offline status is determined by the
friendship relationship with a user in addition to their actual away
status, and other users are added to channels.
#### incoming_me_translation (type: boolean; default: on)
- always_afk (type: boolean; default: off)
When enabled bitlbee-discord would always report client's status as afk.
This feature is not properly documented in official docs, but it presumably
can force push notifications to other clients when bitlbee is connected.
This option controls whether bitlbee-discord will translate incoming
messages that are fully italicized (that is enclosed in '*' characters) to
'/me' messages.
- emoji_urls (type: boolean; default: on)
Controls whether bitlbee-discord would display an url to emoji image next
to it's text alias.
#### never_offline (type: boolean; default: off)
Contacts from this account will never appear as offline and will be marked
away instead.
- auto_join (type: boolean; default: off)
Automatically join all of the server's channels so you don't have to add
them manually (no "chat add" needed).
#### server_prefix_len (type: int; default: 3)
- auto_join_exclude (type: string; default: "")
Comma-separated list of channel patterns to exclude when auto-joining
channels. * matches any text, ? matches a single character. For instance,
"Foo.*,Bar.A" will exclude all channels from server "Foo" and channel "A"
from server "Bar".
Prefix channel names with this many characters of server name. If set to 0
nothing will be prefixed. If set to anything lower than 0 - full server
name will be prefixed. Assuming we have a channel "general" on "beecord"
server here is what channel name you are going to get with different
settings:
- verbose (type: boolean; default: off)
Show more protocol-related messages in control channel.
-1 - #beecord.general
0 - #general
3 - #bee.general
#### fetch_pinned (type: boolean; default: off)
Fetch pinned messages on channel join.
