Can't join channels

[Massacre]

I've searched for ages to find any posts with a solution to my problem but i can't find one so here's my problem:
If i put this in my config file:

Code: Select all

channel add #[ms] {
chanmode "+ntl 1337"
}

it refuses to join when i start the bot. However, if i change the channel name to something without [] in it works. Any ideas of how to get round the [] problem. Also i have the same problem joining my second channel which has {} in its name.

I believe you need to escape them, like this:

Code: Select all

channel add #\[ms\] {

ok, so i'm using the escape thing:

Code: Select all

#\[ms\]

and also for our priv chan

Code: Select all

#\{<chan middle>\}

It works now, well it starts without problems but it doesn't join the channels. Infact, if i whois the bot it says no such nick so from what i can see its not even joining the server. I haven't changed any other settings apart from the channels and it worked before so has anyone got any ideas? The first chan it should join is #[ms]:

Code: Select all

channel add #\[ms\] {
chanmode "+ntl 1337"
}

channel add #\{<chan middle>\} {
chanmode "+Cnstlk 1337 <key>"
need-key "<key>"
}

(btw, i've replaced teh name with <chan middle> cause its secret)

aha, i think that's got something to do with being throttled by Quakenet for connecting so many times :p I'll post again later if it still doesn't work when im allowed back on. thnx
