Invalid modes that DO exist

It's a syntax issue, no point in beating this thead to death.

.chanset #gb +wrong_syntax
Error trying to set +WRONG_syntax for #gb, invalid mode.

.chanset #gb chanmode +CORRECT_syntax
Successfully set modes { chanmode { +CORRECT_syntax } } on #gb.

The error msg with the wrong syntax is the same as DJ747 got.

And the eggdrop also don't return anything, legal mode or not, if the syntax is correct.

Try doing this in DCC lets see if it works.

(Make sure your dcc:tcl unbind is commented in the .conf file)

Code:

.tcl putserv "MODE #channel +TC"

Are those two particular flags actually available for normal users? Some modes can only be used by IRCops.

DJ747 maybe paste (from your conf) the chanmode setting you have. It could just be a syntax error.

That might be, but eggdrop wont return a error, unless you have a raw bind on it.

/me still think he just messed up the .chanset syntax

probably so, but even if you issue the correct command, eggdrop - unlike mIRC and other clients - still won't recognize and enforce modes that it doesn't know about

CHANMODES=be,kfL,l,psmntirRcOAQKVGCuzNSMT <-- there is C and T in the chanmodes, maybe my eggdrop can't read the line properly? Or is this thing internal?

this is part of a string that your irc server sends to you (or to your bot, or to anyone for that matter) when you connect to it - so called ISUPPORT reply - server numeric 005 (it can also be obtained when you /version the server)

your mIRC client reads and interpret it; your eggdrop doesn't - thus the unknown modes your bot is complaining about

the only way to make the eggdrop aware of it is to write a script which binds raw to numeric 005 and interprets it - but you still can't teach the bot about those modes that are unknown to it

so mIRC and some other clients (irssi?) have an advantage over eggdrop on this particular feature

Hmm, the only way i get the eggdrop to report invalid mode is if a use a incorrect syntax. Make sure you set channel modes with

.chanset #channel chanmode +ntCT

enforce +nt and try this:

Code:

bind mode - "% -C" enforcebind mode - "% -T" enforcebind mode - "% +o" enforceproc enforce {n u h c m v} {  if {$m=="+o" && [string compare -nocase $v $::botnick]} return  putserv "mode $c +CT"}

net-type is irrelevant to his problem, it's merely a switch setting other ircd-specific vars, but not valid chanmodes

valid chanmodes should be obtained from server numeric 005 (ISUPPORT) reply, as does mIRC; afaik eggdrop doesn't do this

Make sure the 'net-type' setting in your config file is correct.

I'm trying to set my bot to force the mods +ntCT The bot is on an Unreal3.2.2 server and all those modes exist but it told me: "Error trying to set +ntCT for #DJ747, invalid mode." Yes those are all REAL modes, i tried them out myself, anyone have any ideas on how to make my bot think they are real?
