actually.... either he s confusing the 2 or he s asking a completely different thing
i thought he was asking about changing the helpchannel behavior of anope
# HelpChannel <channel> [OPTIONAL]
# When defined, every users that has or gets op status on this channel
# automatically receive the +h user mode.
to make that halfop instead of op status...
and since i know how frustrating it can be to start digging through everything when you r still quite new to it i ll point you in the right direction... if that s what you are asking and you are willing to void all future support at least.
you need to edit /src/channels.c, more precisely the chan_set_user_status function...
can't say more since i m not sure about the policy on posting core code changes, but i expect it would be the same as for posting raw strings...
edit: you could also post this as a feature request... there is a feature freeze on the current line to keep the database compatible with 1.6, but this would require very little code changes and wouldn't affect the db to make if configurable in services.conf, though personally i think it s much more simple to just give the ops... on the other hand on many ircds, ops is the highest rank in a channel.... can't hurt trying
