failed GO (i'm blind)

[hm2k]

I've just reenabled the "GO" function to "getops" by making the bot hop the channel if not currently opped.

This function works by msging the other bots to part the channel as an attempt to regain it.

The problem i'm finding is that the bots aren't leaving at the same time, or aren't staying out long enough, so they aren't regaining ops.

This is the core code...

Code: Select all

    if (!(chan->status & CHAN_ACTIVE)) {
      putlog(LOG_CMDS, "*", "(%s!%s) !%s! failed GO (i'm blind)", nick, host,
	     u->handle);
      return 1;
    }

What can be done to fix this so the bots do this correctly?

Unfortunately, using '/msg go' is subject to server lag times.
It's best to have set the channel +inactive on all bot except one, then the bot should cycle to gain ops (as long as the channel is set +cycle).
