hi.

when starting an windrop from the command prompt, i'm get this error:

error: #somechannel is an invalid channel.

this suddenly ocurred out of the blue one day. i've been looking through the tcls that the bot is running and they all look very clean and without any typeos or anything else.

note: this error doesn't show when rehashing, but when (re)starting.

hmpf.

goto your bots script directory on the shell and type

grep "\#somechannel" ./*

You may find it's a poorly coded script at fault.

If you paste the name of the script, and where to find it, we will try and help fix the issues.

Is this a channel that is mentioned in the conf file?

If so, the exact name of it might give a clue.

However I am unable to find this error message EXACTLY in the code (so long as that is the EXACT error message) so I suspect its one of your scripts again

hmpf, i think i sorted it out. dccwatch (a tcl) turned on me, so i just disabled it.

no error now.

thanks for the suggestions!
