Bots need to manually have the tournaments permission because some rooms do not want drivers making tournaments, but there is currently no way to exclude driver while whitelisting bot with permissions.
- `ip` and `ipself` are now separate permissions. This means that `ip`
is now a generalized permission for viewing IPs (no more need to use
`globalban`, since `ipself` now controls the ability to see your own
IP address)
- `alts` and `altsself` are now also separate (all users used to be
able to `altsself`).
- `modchat`, `modchatall`, and `manageroom` are now just one `modchat`
permission whose jurisdiction controls how high you can set modchat.
Permissions have gotten out-of-date, so this commit syncs them.
Default permissions are now matched with Main, in particular including
the new & rank as admin (removing the old Leader rank and ~ symbol).
Relevant changes:
- Admin (~) and Leader (&) have been merged into Admin (&)
- The 'ban' permission was split into 'globalban' and 'ban'
- The 'broadcast' permission was renamed 'show' (going forward,
"broadcast" should only refer to the big red/blue/green
announcement bars.)
- Bots no longer have global moderation abilities, making it
easier to give untrustworthy bots the "bot" rank.
This commit changes the TypeScript global variable of `Config` from
`AnyObject` to `Config & AnyObject`.
It still falls back to `AnyObject` (hence the 'Take steps') because of
the main-specific `Config` properties that are used without being in the
`Config` object itself.
These can be added by someone with access to the PS main server.
Regardlesss, this is an improvement as IntelliSense can display and
autocomplete the known properies.
In addition, the TypeScript compiler will now report bugs
concerning the types of the properties, which I have fixed in this
commit.
- Modchat permission code should be simpler now
- Mods now have 'modchatall' (can set modchat up to their own rank)
- 'modchatall' (ROs) can no longer remove modchat higher than their own
rank
- 'makeroom' (Leaders) still can remove higher modchat
Permessage-deflate is an extensIon that compresses websocket messages with zlib.
SockJS already supports it (indirectly) and the client's load balancer already
inserts the header in the opening handshake when making a WebSocket connection.
Config.wsdeflate makes this optional and allows tweaking the extension's resource
usage.
`Config.workers` especially deserves to be documented. The other config
settings don't entirely need to be documented, but for the sake of
transparency `Config.ssl` and `Config.bindaddress` have been added as
well.
This should use the unicode instead of the actual character itself for the same reason the player rank does - some text editors don't like unicode and will override this with an actual question mark.
