auto voice question

Bytez · Post by **Bytez** » Wed Aug 27, 2003 1:21 am

from slennox's page:

"You can also make the bot give auto-voice to specific +v users (instead of all +v users) using the g flag, without the need to enable autovoice. Use .chattr <handle> +g #channel to make the bot auto-voice that particular user when they join the channel."

This didn't work, I had to add the user by using the .adduser command before the .chattr command works. Am I doing something extra here?
Also, is there a way to autovice people WITHOUT adding them to my userlist? I have many people that I want to auto voice and don't want it to fill my userlist. Thanks.

You can auto-voice EVERY user without setting user flags.
You might need a different script for that.

Otherwise you need some type of filter, password, or flag to identify them.

You could setup a password that users could msg or notice the Bot to get +voiced.
A password in a query window stops incorrect notice messages
from posting in the channel where others can see the password.

I just want to autovoice certain users and don't want them to have to enter a password to get voiced.

You may have at least two alternatives to do so:
1. Add a user and to that user add the hosts that matches the people you want auto-voiced in the channel and the give to that user the +g flag.
2. Make an tcl wich will do basicaly the same thing, but you have stored the hostmasks in a variable.
Either way this should work. Next time please do a .help whois before asking a question like this or consult the *manual* ..

yea, I read the tutorial.. but it doesn't say to add the user first so I just want to mention that. I got it working before my initial post.

They wouldn't be "+v users" unless they were added.

Will this autovoice based on their hostmask and/or nick? If it doesn't use hostmask, is there an autovoice script that will do? Thanks.

Why on earth would you want a script that does voicing based on hostmasks? Just add a (ONE) user with multiple hostmasks and chattr it the way you like.

I didn't realize you can add multiple hostmaks for one user

I think this is a better idea instead of adding many users with the +g flag
Is there a command to edit a user's hostmasks instead of +.host then .-host the old one?

1st, you don't need to remove an existing hostmask to add anotherone to a user-record.

2nd if you are dealing with user-records with multiple hostmasks, try the hosts.tcl from ppslim, should be in the script archive.

I know that, I want to edit an existing hostmask so that's what I did..
