Bot is on channel but tells me is ISN'T on the channel

[Epona]

I was wondering if anyone could help me. I've been running an eggdrop bot for over a year now with no trouble.

Suddenly, today, I notice that the bot is on the channel but it seems to think that is isn't. I noticed this when it had stopped voicing people and also when I tried typing an .act command and it says 'I cannot say to channel as I am not on that channel'

Any idea why a bot which was working just fine would suddenly do this?

Thanks in Advance.

On what server network sits? Have you changed recently from your config file the 'net-type'?

I am having a similar problem, but on a new bot. Server is linkline.liveharmony.org, set as net-type 1. Attempting to sit on 6 channels, appears to join all 6, shows members on only some of them. Using .act on the ones which do not show members produces the '..I am not on that channel' message. Have made no changes to channel settings, but the channels he recognizes having joined seem to vary from start-up to start-up of the bot.

Would appreciate any assistance in getting this fixed.

Thanks!

I'm running on my private network an Unreal3.1.4-Meadows irc server and I shoud have net-type 0 or 4. Anyway, I have 0 and use 0 on Undernet also. If I change it to 2 is not working propertly.. So, a quick server version chk and find it's place in the list should to the trick like did for me.

caesar,

This is on the Aniverse network.

Only thing I changed recently was to have the bot connect on port 6670 instead of 6667 (as they have too many people connecting on 6667 and it slows things down)

Other than that no changes. I have had it set to network type 5 (other) for the past 6 months and have had no problems till now.

I am sure I remember a post some motnhs back, regarding issues while on that network.

Have you tried running to bot on another server?

Have you tried returning it back to port 6667?

Have the server admins changed the version of IRCD in user?

Most of the issues that cause this, are non RFC compliance issues.

The RFC defines the rules on how data is transfered and formatted, for each command.

Some networks have issues, where the IRCD deoesn't 100% follow the RFC, which is usualy the cause of the problems.

Have you tried running to bot on another server?

No, will try that next time.

Have you tried returning it back to port 6667?

Yes, it didn't help.

Have the server admins changed the version of IRCD in user?

Not sure - it's possible since they seem to be making updates and fixing things a lot lately. I didn't realize it could be related to changes they have made and assumed it was something on my side.

I loaded it up today and it's mysteriously started working again. I didn't do anything different - so maybe it is the Admins changing things. If it happens again I'll try another network. Thanks for the help!

Well, linkline.liveharmony.org told me they were an IRCnet, but, I changed to net-type 5 and it seems to be working fine now!

Thanks for the help!!

The admins on Aniverse disabled the /who command because they were having problems with some bug. This broke all eggdrops on Aniverse
They fixed the bug and reenabled /who (and downgraded their ircd because their problems didn't stop ) so your bot should be working since a few days back.

Exactly, /who is onething an eggdrop majorly relies on. And disabling that will surely break up things. Moreover, if that isn't the problem, sometimes the channels are desynched. Solving which, will bring back things to normal. Just FYI.
