binding msg pass again

metroid · Post by **metroid** » Thu Aug 12, 2004 1:20 pm

Due to a script /msg <botnick> pass <pass> Doesnt work for others, Yet it still works for me :E

Is there a way to make it right again, or make a new bind that sets the password for someone.

I bound

Code: Select all

bind msg - pass *msg:pass

I assume thats right?[/code]

The problem is even stranger than i thought..

I made a new user in the bot and tried to set a password, and the bot didnt respond, so i have made a pass with .chpass and i authed that client to the bot. Then when i try to set the pass. IT does respond to me.. strange isnt it?

Code: Select all

[20:00:41] <MeTroiD> .chpass m0o0o0 *****
[20:00:41] <Q12> Changed password.

Code: Select all

[20:00:45] -> *Q12* pass *****

^ I get no response from the bot

Code: Select all

[20:00:53] -> *Q12* auth m0o0o0 *****
-
[20:00:53] -Q12- AUTH'd successfully.
-
[20:00:55] -> *Q12* pass *****
-
[20:00:55] -Q12- You already have a password set.

If anyone has already had this strange error, plz tell me how to fix this

It's a function of eggdrop and depending on your configuration all non-bot users and those with "bogus" addresses will be ignored.

I have come across this "little" problem off and on and it has always been the person using "/msg <botnick> pass <pass>" that's the problem, not the bot. After a few attempts the new user usually gets it right. Just a little frustrating though.

You could check that the bot isn't ignoring because of /msg flooding. They get a little "excited" sometimes sending that command and it doesn't work immediately.

Also, to clear a pass it's just:

Code: Select all

.chpass <handle>

I know, but i was testing it myself, i was using another client.. And i know i did it right, i didnt flood the bot or anything, it just doesnt respond to it. :\

You're using an auth script?

I already found out what the problem was, it was the host the person got added with by my script
