Untested but I think it's OK bind MODE - * check:mode proc check:mode {nick uhost handle channel change target} { if {[string equal -nocase $target $::botnick]} { switch -- $change { "+o" {putserv "PRIVMSG spithash :Yo, I have been oped by $nick on $channel !!!"} "-o" {...

Thanks caesar for your suggestion, though I think I have had this question from desired in an earlier post. At the moment I have no clue how easy or difficult it would be to make a portable version of Defero, but I can be more clear about the development path I am going to stick to. I have spent too...

Sorry for any inconvenience but I just located a long standing bug concerning an error message on the Edit Connection form when no changes have been made. Deliberately creating errors in order to make screenshots for the new website turned up the bug. This makes relatively little material difference...

New version (2.0.0.714) released with improved user interface and capability of multiple simultaneous connections. http://defero.ircspeed.org Options form including fonts and translations have been dropped, at least temporarily. Too much resource required whilst I wish to concentrate effort on funct...

I am getting strange Tcl command errors Example 1 I make a deliberate mistake sourcing a script. Filename omitted. .tcl source scripts/ On some bots I get the correct error Tcl error: couldn't read file "scripts/": illegal operation on a directory On other bots I get something akin to the ...

I'm unsure of your code caesar :- if {[scan $text %s channel]} { If the command user mistakingly fails to input any command arguments, then scan will return -1 yet, when used in this way, any non-zero value is considered true. Hence the code inside the if statement may attempt execution, whereas it ...

Thanks caesar, I did understand your intent in posting alternatives. My response was borne of your terminology 'you should use' whereas it might have been better to say 'you could use' or 'consider instead using'. I didn't want other readers to misinterpret your remarks and perhaps believe the scrip...

caesar, I think it is possible to use alternative syntax in any programming/scripting languages to achieve the same goal. Nonetheless, thank you for the interesting alternatives. Out of interest, how would you remove $botnick from the channel list? As far as I can see the lsearch command is there to...

desired, I have just uploaded version 1.2.3.533 http://defero.ircspeed.org/download.html Hopefully this will fix the AltGr issues. Uninstall defero from your computer as normal and install the new version. Verify using the Help - About menu item. Please advise if it now functions as expected. For ot...

OK desired, I found the problem regarding the Alt-Gr key but I'm still giving some thought to the best solution. The biggest clue was your report that you did not experience this issue in any other software. There is nothing peculiar in Delphi as a Windows programming environment that would uniquely...

willyw, yes I have plans to allow multiple connections. It depends just how do'able it is for a single developer and other commitments. I am still busy building the new website, once done you will see it there in the todo list. Thanks for your suggestion. desired, I do not have much of a clue regard...

Just to correct something in my post above. I rechecked the code and the scroll lock functions if you are merely connected. You do not need to be on the party line. Can I also stress that connection issues such as the delay reported by desired are crucial. The whole point of Defero is to promote con...

Thanks for your comments desired Scroll lock is activated using the button with a padlock image. It is a toggle button. The image will change from an open padlock to a closed padlock when activated (clicked), and back again when the button is clicked again. Note two things. Firstly, the feature only...

The best way to check simple regular expressions is to use test data in a command line Tcl shell. If you have enabled tcl/set commands in the bot's .conf file then this can be done on the party line. As an example 1. Define the regular expression pattern as per the first such statement in your code ...

You would need to know the encryption algorithm and key.

I don't doubt somebody knows, but you can safely assume they will not be telling us.
