Hello. My bot is in my group for chan access and its a SOP. I want the bot to deop itself and voice itself of staying on the chan as an op. The reason I don't add it to the AOP list or just a voice list is because as a SOP nobody can mess with it unless they have admin authority. So, I looked in the tcl archives and couldn't find anything that would do what I am interested in. I'm sure its an easy thing or that I might've overlooked something so I apologize in advance for the rookie requests Smile

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

I looked into having chanserv or nickserv doing it and for some reason they can only op the bot when it enters the chan. As far as having it deop the bot and adding the voice to it there wasn't anything I found on them that would perform these actions. I could easily just remove it from the SOP group and only have it voiced but that would leave it open to having other AOP's messing with it. As a SOP it won't allow anyone to perform any op functions to it.

I'm looking to have the bot perform this automatically because if one of the other admins isn't around the bot would sit in the chan as a SOP. I want to avoid this beause we had a split the other day and when users joined the chat that had the aol (no pun intended) Laughing

flags it kept trying to op them even though the hadn't identified through nickserv so it was basically a war between the bot and chanserv.

SO at this point I'm drawing a blank as to how to get the bot to autimatically perform these actions to avoid that happening.

This is what would happen since the user was not identified with nickserv:

A large problem is, that afaik, eggdrop does not see a few modes as being "valid irc modes". I had this discussion with one of the developers not that long ago. So if you try to pushmode mode a or q, it won't work, although this is rumored to be fixed... sometime.

Also, I at one point tried to get my bot to do something similar. I tried a regex to catch the "botnick has joined #chan" message and make my bot send a mode- it wouldn't. It almost seems like we need a new "onchanjoin" bind to do this. We have the server evnt for when we first join a server and id, but afaik, there isn't a way to do so on channel join.

Your network uses Unreal ircd, and probably Anope for services.
This is what I'm used to.

I suspect that the owner of your channel has set Secureops.
You can read about it a bit, with:

The chan has secureops on it and that's why the issue arose. The owner chose to do it that way and well, its his chan and its his call. Sad

I removed the a flag on the users and left them with the o flag and the bot still did the same thing. I thought it might've been something that would need a restart or something but, even though I restarted it, the bot kept doing it. Is there a certain time frame that the bot needs in order for it to implement the changes?

I'll try the script tonight and report back and let you know how it worked out. Thanks again for the help.

If your bot is fighting with services on the channel telnet to your bot and type

.chanset #channelname -nodesynch

if your bot has aop/sop on the channel use a set option for it to identify to chanserv on joining the channel
then maybe a small script that will voice it first then deop it chances are that some of the basic access levels are disabled like deopme op deop

willyw if you would like access on a server that will allow you full access i have a test server that i run inbox me if you would like to use it

Ok, I've been using the script for a few weeks now and have seen some stuff happen.

For one, the setting of -nodesynch is in place. Yet, if the bot is opped for whatever reason it will start doing the same thing. It fights with chanserv over halfop/op the user in the chan if they haven't identified with nickserv. I removed the ay flags on the users but it is still doing it anytime that the user comes on without identifying.

Second, when the bot joins the chan it executes the script perfectly, but it doesn't add the +a flag to itself in order to protect itself from other op/sop users from "messing" with it (see example).
