Saying that, i beleive it should.

However, this will prevent the nice formatting when using a telnet client.

It's not perminant, it's only a temporary solution (per connection).

There are 2 ways to connect to the bots partyline.

One is via DCC, where the bot connects to you, the second is via telnet.

When using DCC, your client, sends a message to the bot, teling it which IP and port to connect to. The command is marked as a DCC connection.

When you use telnet (with a telnet or raw sockets application), the connection is marked as a telnet connection.

The differance between the to, is the codes send, regarding BOLD highlighted text. The funny codes you see, as the codes used to make text BOLD in a telnet connection.

The .fixcodes command changes a connection marked as telnet, and marks it as DCC, so that the IRC based codes are sent, rather than the telnet codes.

However, when typing "/ctcp nickname chat" in IRC, you are telling the bot, to send the DCC request to you. In this request, it send the IP address as set in my-ip (or nat-ip if set) and the port set using the listen command.

As such, your IRC client, conects to the bot, as if it where a telnet connection.

For a perminant solution, you can remove the +h flag from yourself, though you will never see any of the fancy BOLD marked text.

I have the same problem!
It sure fixed the problem but it doesn't "stay".

How do I get this "permanent"?

I was wondering why there are all these "[1m" characters before every sentance.

Makes things kinda whacky, any way to get rid of them? did i compile the bot wrong?

Running on freebsd4.7
