Pretty much what the title says: A feature to have autoattach only re-attach to a channel if that channel matches a hilight. Useful for channels that are busy, but filled with lots of noise/chatter.

Right now as far as I can tell, autoattach will only reattach when any messages are sent in-channel. So if I'm detached from a channel, I can either be oblivious to everything, or get reattached every time someone wanders in and says "hi" then idles for twelve hours.

A way to only reattach if someone says my nick would be a great improvement.

Thanks!

[03 янв., 09:53:05] DrMacinyasha> Interesting. It has well, pretty much no info on how to use it; <*highlightattach> This module doesn't implement any commands.
[03 янв., 09:54:38] DrMacinyasha> I thought there might be some option on what nicks to respond to, or what channels, but I guess not.
[03 янв., 09:54:49] DarthGandalf> ...Your nick?
[03 янв., 09:55:26] DrMacinyasha> Well, in my case, some people don't tab-complete and just use "DrMac" or "Macinyasha" or my proper name, 's all.
[03 янв., 09:56:15] DarthGandalf> Well, http://people.znc.in/~psychon/znc/modules/ mostly contains quick simple hacks
[03 янв., 10:05:48] DrMacinyasha> Well, thank you DarthGandalf, it appears to be working brilliantly.
[03 янв., 10:07:08] DarthGandalf> Heh, brilliantly? I thought that you need to be highlighted not only by nick
[03 янв., 10:08:33] DrMacinyasha> Well, yes, but it's better than the alternative of being completely oblivious unless someone PM's me.
[03 янв., 10:08:53] DrMacinyasha> And it overrides exceptions in autoattach, which is great.

Is this quick module for .202 only? I haven't tried it against HEAD but at quick glance it doesnt look like there is any network code.

Yes. It needs some tweaks to work with 0.205 (the current HEAD with network stuff)
