small problem when bot sets topic

[simonbell]

Ive made a script to store a default topic for the chan in a file, and well this works, but when the bot sets the topic using

putserv "TOPIC $chan :$topic"

the topic is set as:

* E changes topic to 'Welcome to #BeforeNET (E)'

When a 'user' set the topic there nick is not put in brackets at the end of the topic. Is this a standard eggdrop feature or can it be removed somehow?

thanks

Paste the exact code of the whole tcl please, it seems like you have something screwy going on where you set the var.

bind pub -|Col .topic pub_topic

proc pub_topic {nick uhost hand chan text} {
set topic [lrange $text 0 end]
set tpchan [open chantopics.db r]
set all [read $tpchan]
close $tpchan
foreach line [split $all \n] {
set readchan [lindex $line 0]
set readtopic [lrange $line 1 end]
if { $readchan == $chan } {
if { $topic == "" } {
putserv "TOPIC $chan :$readtopic"
return 0
}
if { $readtopic == $topic } {
putnotc $nick "Default topic in $chan changed to: $topic"
putserv "TOPIC $chan :$topic"
return 0
}
set readfile [open chantopics.db r]
set writefile [open chantopics.db.tmp w]
while (1) {
set checker [gets $readfile]
if {[eof $readfile]} { break }
if { [lindex $checker 0] != $chan } {
puts $writefile $checker
}
}
close $readfile
close $writefile
file rename -force chantopics.db.tmp chantopics.db
}
}
set addtopic [open chantopics.db a]
puts $addtopic "$chan $topic"
close $addtopic
putnotc $nick "Default topic in $chan changed to: $topic"
putserv "TOPIC $chan :$topic"
}

It *appears* that this is actually due to the ircd running and not the eggdrop. I have a network running as a standard bot on an ircu network and it doesnt add its nick afterwards, however the bot in question is running on a ulined server running unrealircd and it seems even when i just type .topic blah in the partyline the nick is added afterwards.
