Anopeirc
Anope IRC Services is a Windows compatible set of services for a wide range of IRCd availablke today.
Homepage: https://www.anope.org/
The current version is 2.06 but for some reason I was never able to get this version to connect to Synchro.net IRC. However, by using the older Anope 1.8.9 version I was successful. This page is written using Synchro.net IRC/BBS 3.17 and Anope 1.8.9.
Configuration
- Download the Anope-1.8.9.zip file from https://sourceforge.net/projects/anope/files/anope-legacy/
- Unpack the files to a directory of choice (I find using a short path of the root is easier than the default \Program Files\Anope).
- Anope comes with a sample.conf file in the \Data directory. Use WordPad to view this file for proper formatting.
- Save this file as a TXT file with the name services.conf in the \Data directory.
- Make (at miniumum) the following changes to the file;
- IRCDModule “bahamut”
- RemoteServer IRCdIPAddress IRCdPort “password”
- LocalAddress AnopeIPAddress
- ServerName “name of Anope server”
- ServerDesc “description of Anope server”
- ServiceUser “Anope user address”
- NetworkName “IRCd network name”
- Save these changes to services.conf file.
- You will also need to modify your Synchro.net IRCd.conf file in the SBBS\CTRL directory.
- U:name of anope server:*:*
- C:AnopeIPAddress:password:name of Anope server::10
- N:AnopeIPAddress:password:name of Anope server::10
- Note: Make sure these are not set to IRC Class 30 as per the Anope docs if using UseStrictPrivMsg.
- Finally comment out (put # in front of) these two lines to allow Anope to use these nicks;
- #Q:*:Reserved for Services:*Serv
- #Q:*:Reserved for Services:Global
- Save these changes to IRCd.conf file.
- Start or restart Synchro.net IRC according to your BBS servcies configuration.
- Launch Anope.exe (Note there is no GUI, the command window closes but you will see Anope.exe running as a process)
If you are monitoring your IRCd output (running IRC as a standalone JSEXEC) then you will see something similiar to the following;
0652 Accepted new connection: 127.0.01 port 56522 Routing: from BBS.synchro.net: Link with services.localhost.net [unknown@BBS.synchro.net] established, states: TS Routing: from BBS.synchro.net: services.localhost.net has processed user/channel burst, sending topic burst.

That's it, now you have all the services included with Anope running on your IRCd. Details on tghe individual services is located here https://www.anope.org/docgen/1.8/en_us/
I'll be adding some more here shortly, including enabling sendmail integration, channel and nick management, etc.
