ctcp chat has a bug?

Post by Sil0x0000 »

Why does my bot puts these control codes into the text when using /ctcp ^BOT^ chat instead of /dcc chat ^BOT^


[08:45] <^BOT^> Hey [1mSil0x0000![0m My name is [1m^BOT^[0m and I am running [1meggdrop v1.6.12[0m, ...

this only happends when i use /ctcp (to let the bot start the dcc-chat)... any idea?

You can turn off the bold tags. Remove +h from your userfile

That worked nicely for me

Code: Select all

h  (highlight)      use bold text in help/text files.
thats the extract from the user help file

[/code]

You need the ".fixcodes" command.

When you use the /ctcp method to connect tot he bot, it is exactly the same, as using telnet.

As such, these characters you are seeing, are telnet codes, used to make BOLD display in telnet.

You use the .fixcodes command, to change from telnet mode, which should now use the CTRL+B IRC version of bold.
