I have noticed a bug {I think :/} when .chanset #channel need-op

Basically, I have a small procedure in the eggdrop.conf to allow the bot to execute two commands in order to gain ops:

Save your channel when you add it or change settings with .chanset.

### chansave Saves the channel settings to the file defined by the "chanfile" setting. This file is reloaded during rehash and restarting the bot.

chanset changes get wiped on rehash/reload/restart unless you chansave.

Once a channel is created, the channel add command won't change its settings, use the channel set command instead (.chanset from the console, channel set from a script.)

Thanks for your sugestions, however I did set it via .chanset and whether I save settings via .save doesn't make any difference, the settings are forgotten after about 15mins.
As a matter of interest, I have compiled another bot on another shell, and I get the same error.
Cheers.

Are you running any kind of getops script or module, such as botnetop?
Some of these scripts automatically alter the need-* settings...

No, it's str8 out the box, so to speak. I have used other versions of eggdrop and have never encounted this problem.

Could you verify that there is no problems saving the new settings? (ie, cat:ing the channels-file just after .save:ing the new settings from partyline)

The settings are saved in the channel file Smile

And forgotten after 15mins, and when settings are saved every hour, chanfile has no sign of need-op settings.

Although you say it's "out of the box", it still smells like getops.tcl or a third-party script/module :/

Could you check that there's no timed scripts (.tcl timers/utimers) or time bindings (.bind time all) active that might be the cause for this behaviour?
You'll probably have to modify your config abit to enable the .tcl command, but that should be explained in the config-file.

I assure you it is "out of the box", I am no newbie to eggdrop Smile

Besides the fact that I have complied new installations of this version on 3 different shells, and my own server, all consistently giving the same results.

Your last sugestion re. any timers has not turned up anything either.

I think I will return to the last version, this is deffinately a bug.

Cheers,
John

You are the only one experiencing it. Post your config file if you want (minus all the comments and junk.)

I originally obtained the source from a mate.

After downloading a fresh source from egghelp, and recompiling on all shells the problem is now solved Smile

It works fine now even with smart.tcl etc...

Thanks for everyone's help.

Cheers,
John

Forgive my cynicism, but, never trust src from other people, always get the original in case someone put backdoors into it.
