 Posted: Fri May 20, 2005 4:09 am Post subject: Long channel name |
 |
|
Hello,
When trying to add a channel to the bot with a long name,it doesn't join the right one.
E.g.:
If I .+chan #long.channel.name ,the bot joins #long.channel .I tried also from partyline and directly to add the channel from the .conf file,but same result.Any ideas how to fix that?
PS:Sorry if it's off-topic,but I didn't know where to post the problem  |

dont worry im sure the admins will move it to Eggdrop Help
To be able to answer your question:
1) Is the length of the channel name supported by the IRC server?
2) Are you in that channel when you are trying to get the bot to join it?
3) Are you using special characters in the name. characters like [ and ] need to be escaped (ie \[ and \] ) so the program knows they have to be seen as real charactes rather than special ones? channels like #[cool] have to be written in the config as #\[cool\]. |

Yes,it is supported,because I am in that channel when I try to make the bot join it.

..maybe the ` character is considered special? It's contained in the channel name,with letters and . character. |

i doubt that. only characters with special meaning in TCL would cause trouble.
just say how long the channel is. probably it just exceeds any internal variable string length. So probably you have to increase one of the array/string lengths.

| with my own irc network i had to edit the bot's code to allow a longer nickname than 15 chars (or whatever it was in default setting). |

The channel is 87 characters long .And the bot seems to join on a channel that contains the first 80 characters of that name.Where is that limit? |

Read through the source code (like every one else does). 
You're bound to find it.

Nope that charactor wouldn't do it, we have a channel named #Browneyz`Bungalow on my server, and .+chan #Browneyz`Bungalow works just fine. I know this doesn't help much, but at least it should eliminate one question for you.

| eggdrop doesn't impose channel name length limitations, ircd does (max 200 characters on my ircd-hybrid) |
