I am writing a seen script for an IRC server where the commands such as /names, /who, etc. are all disabled. Because of this, the regular seen scripts provided on this site do not function on this particular IRC server. However, on IRC clients/programs such as mIRC or Mibbit, the userlist GUI still shows the users that are in the channel somehow. I am guess it is via RPL_NAMREPLY, as stated in the IRC RFC: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1459
What should I do for this particular seen script to make it work?
You are spoon fed with the RPL_NAMREPLY upon joining a channel and when a names command is issued.
So, in order to get the names from a channel without having access to /who or /names then I guess you are stuck with making the bot rejoin the channel.
Once the game is over, the king and the pawn go back in the same box.
