ppslim: this is independent of the config file - I am attempting a jump through the partyline by:
.jump irc2.lightning.net
even if I specify a port, whenever I attempt to jump to this particular server, it tells me it is attempting to connect to "
irc:6667"
however, i just edited my conf file and added in irc2.lightning.net in the server list. Now it jumps with no problem. But shouldn't the jump command be independent of the server list, since according to eggdrop help:
jump [server [port [pass]]]
makes the bot jump to another server. if you don't specify a server, it will jump to the next server in its internal list (see 'help servers'). if you specify a server, it will jump to that server (default port is 6667), and if that server is not in the internal list already, it will add it. jumping servers ALWAYS makes the bot lose ops! be careful!
Basically, I'm wondering why adding the server to the conf made a difference. According to all the documentation I've read, it should not.
