Strange text

Post by Starman »

[15:45:59] (Ragol): Ragol (Eggdrop v1.6.13 (C) 1997 Robey Pointer (C) 2002 Eggheads)
[15:45:59] (Ragol): Please enter your nickname.
[15:46:03] (Ragol): Enter your password.ÿû
[15:46:06] (Ragol): ÿü
[15:46:06] (Ragol): Connected to Ragol, running eggdrop v1.6.13

Wondering if anyone could tell me what the strange 'ÿû' text is?

These are Telnet codes.

In IRC, control codes are used to format the text into bold, underline colour and so on.

The same applies for telnet connections. These codes are different in telnet connections, and include tohers for changing the way a clinet displays stuff including wheather or not text is echoed as typed.

Because of the way eggdrop is cross compatable between the two, on connection, you see these codes.

You can switchj between the two modes using the ".fixcodes" command.

Note: in 1.6.14 (when made available), a small fix has been made. This will fix issues where you may have to type the ".fixcodes" command twice.
