Flags Issue (Weird problem, need help)

[SpiKe^^]

The command is .channel #yourchannelname

It will show you who is on the channel and the flags they are recognised by.
Anyone without a handle, isn't known by the bot at all:)

Ok, I did that;

I changed to Mabus2
then in the console I typed .channel #Debates

<(Debates> @Mabus2 Mabus 01:24 N ~Mabus@tweakin.com.ar

so it saw it, however when i then typed;

.match mabus2

I still get <(Debates> Mabus2 no 0 - never (nowhere)

After exiting with mabus2, I typed the .channel #Debates command again. Interestingly mabus2 was not on the list. It's as if it's not seeing any new people for some reason.

The .channel #channel command only shows the nicks currently on the channel, with any userfile info for the user, if they are known by a handle currently.

Have you recompiled the bots from scratch after the shell moved your stuff?

[Mabus4444]

Yes, I recompiled it from scratch.

Then it's definatly a userfile issue.... the bot simply doesn't know the users by their current hostmasks, or if it knows them, they don't have the flags to use the commands:)

[Mabus4444]

Well that definately narrows things down, and explains why it's affecting all the scripts. Now how do we fix it

I am noticing something new.....

When I start the bot with ./eggdrop -m debates

It starts up, and there are no error messages at all, HOWEVER.... it doesn't actually create a userfule (yes i deleted the userfile before doing this). I would assume thats related somehow.

After some experimentation i've got it.

I am not sure exactly what happened or why but... the first user, (after the owner), mabus2... i had to add the flags and hostmask, and then part and rejoin before it FINALLY worked... all my other users now are being added normally and it works now...

Strangely, the other users do not need to part and rejoin, just the second user. It's like it resolved some sort of bug or something. Anyway, it works now

Thanks to everyone who helped
