bot sets mode +e in channel inconsistently

2005-06-08T17:05:17-04:00

Nice Yoohoo....

I managed to do a .chanset #channel -userexempts
and a .chanset #channel -dynamicexempts
prior to your post.

I think this will resolve the issue too but since you mentioned it Yoohoo, I will do the .set as well to be sure.

bot sets mode +e in channel inconsistently

2005-06-04T11:22:59-04:00

gads of eggdrop owners have encountered this annoying new 'feature' of the 1.6.17 series, and so far as I can tell, there is but 1 fix...
1) enable the .set command in the bot's conf file.
2) telnet/dcc chat to your bot
3) type .set use-exempts 0, then .save

you can refer to this thread for the whole rundown...
Hope this helps!

bot sets mode +e in channel inconsistently

2005-06-01T02:19:19-04:00

+e stands for except which excepts users from the channel who match a hostmask in the banlist allowing them to join. When a hostmask is set in the except list, the mode +e overrides the ban on the user that matches the hostmask.

Syntax:

/mode #channelname +/-e [hosts]

... and

### +exempt [channel] [%] [comment]
Adds an exempt to the list of exempts stored on the bot, with optional
comment and exempt time. This exempt is stored with your handle as the
creator, and will be in effect for every channel if no channel is specified.
Exempt time has to be expressed in days, hours, and/or minutes.

See also: exempts, -exempt, stick, unstick

From eggdrop.conf:

# dynamicexempts
# Only activate exempts on the channel when necessary? This keeps
# the channel's exempt list from getting excessively long. The bot
# still remembers every exempt, but it only activates a exempt on
# the channel when it sees a ban set that matches the exempt. The
# exempt remains active on the channel for as long as the ban is
#

bot sets mode +e in channel inconsistently

Can anyone tell me why the bot will join a channel and sometimes set channel mode +e? It is very inconsistent and there is no mention of mode e in the channel settings I can assure you.

This happens once in a blue moon. I've had other eggys with almost identical configs but this never happened with them.

Furthermore, only one or two channels will get the mode change. There are a few other channels the bot joins that will never see that mode change.

Searching my tcl scripts has not come up with anything either btw.
