Chan Limit TCL help

Well I got it loaded in fine, it sets the mode and everything but as soon as the mode is set, the bot sets mode to -l

So basically it sets mode to +l 75 then as soon as it does that it sets mode to -l

Its kinda annoying I can't figure out why.

This is likely, due to conflicting setting within your bot.

The setting in question, is the chan-mode channel setting (.chaninfo and .chanset).

Many people get confused at what this setting does, and how you go about making changes to it.

It is used, to set what flags should be enforced (not set) in the channel.

IE:
using +nt will make sure the channel is set +nt at all times, yet allow all other flags to be set and unset freely.
using +nt-l will make sure the channel is set +nt at all time, and will refuse to allow the +l flag to be set.

Using this system, you should see where your problem lies.

check your channelsetting, the channel is probably set -l

( .chaninfo #channelname)

if so, than try .chanset #channelname chanmode -l

This is exactly what you should not be doing. This is what causes the problem to occur.

Adding this as the chanmode within eggdrop, will force eggdrop to remove any +l limit set on the channel.

In you case, you should be ommitting the +l when making the setting change.

Ooops, my mistake.
You are right ppslim, of course the chan has to be +l .

it doesn't have to be +l, for example .chanset #channel +tn would work as well

cheers

sorry, I meant .chanset #channel chanmode +tn
then it would "ignore" any +/- l modes.

HMM - lets make this sound a little more english.

the chamode setting is designed to tell eggdrop what it should, and shouldn't be setting/enforcing on the channel. All other setting are ignored.

EG.

"+t" = Make sure the channel is +t. If not, set it, if changed, change it back.
"-t" = Make sure the channel is -t. If set, unset it, if changed, change it back.
"" = Ignore all changes. No matter what you change, eggdrop doesn't care, as this is what you told it to enforce.
