Server Usage

####Running the server

1. Edit config.lua as needed
2. run the command lua server.lua

####Creating hooks Create a .lua file in hooks/

Add server side commands using function commandHooks.<name>(client, msg, msgsplit) msg is the full message after the command, and msgsplit is a table of all the space separated words.

Add event hooks using function serverHooks.<uniquefunctionname>(client, cmd, msg) cmd is the event number, and msg is a special message that may be attached to it. Events are the same as the numbers handled in server.lua, with the special event -1 for quitting, and -2 for leaving a room.

####Default hooks badwords.lua kicks users off the server for using words in the predefined badwords list inside of messages or actions. commands.lua keeps track of the last time a user was online, for use in /seen. motd.lua sends a motd whenever any user joins a channel and motd[] exists.
