eggdrop recognize wrong hostname

Gust · Post by **Gust** » Sun Jul 23, 2006 7:10 am

Hey all,

I wrote an invite script, so members can ask invite voor a secret invite-only channel...

Everthing is working fine, excepts som users come to the channel first, and then log in on the IRC-server. Because of the login, there hostname changes...

But the bot recognize them with the hostname they joined the channel with..

How can i make that the bot recognize hostname changes, and so recognize the users with their new hostname?

thanks!

You should show us what you've written so we would know what changes you need to apply to your script for it to properly work.

It is nothing in the script... The scripts works fine.

I have in my script the following line:

Code: Select all

append ident "*!*" [getchanhost $nick $chan]

When users join the channel (not logged into the IRC-server) they have a hostname like:

Code: Select all

*!*~POCT@D513F239F586ADF5.Omerta.cloak

However, when they log into the IRC-server, there hostname changes to:

Code: Select all

*!*~POCT@Gust.users.barafranca.com

but the outcome of the getchanhost-line of code will still be like the first hostname. So the bot doesn't recognize the change of hostnames...

How can i solve that?

have users login to ircd before joining channel

Yeah, that is a solution that i could think myself.

But most users have there login and channel join thingy in the perform script of their mIRC, so not really a solution...

There should be a way that eggdrop recognize a hostname change... Because if he didn't, how can the eggdrop ban a user is nessescary?

So DragnLord, no offense, but that solution isn't a right one...

Another idea?

If there's a certain quit-message when the user registers, then you can implement a proc which will be triggered on quit and make the necessary changes over the user's hostname.

Do you hare more information about that?

I don't think there is a quit message when users log in, because when they are on the channel and give the /hop-command, the eggdrop recognize the hostname change...

This problem still isn't solved... I have tried to live with it, but my bot is used more and more, so the problem is beginning to start really annoying!

Maybe somebody have an option to solve this problem?
