Non RFC-compiland /who servers

Hi

what should I do to my eggdrop work corretly on a non RFC-compilant ircd (where the /who it's diferent) ?

To see the names list of a channel, people should use /who +c #channel (but on RFC-compilant just /who #channel it's necessary).

What should I do ? (No, I won't change my ircd!)

If you wont, start using mIRC bots.. heeheh

It's easy, look through the source code for where the "WHO" command is issued (try using grep) and change it to "WHO +c", just like you said.

What ircd is this? I wouldn't mind contacting the developers .. changing the basic syntax of /who is a very silly thing to do. I'd like to see their good reasons for changing it.

Anyone else agree with me?

I could be wrong, but wouldn't this even mess up things such as mIRC's IAL and other clients/client features?

Yes guppy, I agree. Adding channel modes is still OK, because it doesn't really break anything (unless they modify the way the RFC's modes work), but this messing around with /who does cause problems not only with eggdrop. Like Wcc says... I have trouble with mIRC's IAL because I have a scripted /who on join to fill the IAL, which does not work on most non-compliant ircds.

right... the ircd it's called VIRCD, and it's a brazilian modified version of Bahamut 1.4.x

I think it's a problem of bahamut's ircd, becose I don't belive that he would change the /who parameters for his own.

If anyone want's to talk with VIRCD's creator, the website is http://www.ircd.com.br/

But the question now is: where of the eggdrop code is the /WHO comando procedure ?

/who works fine in bahamut 1.4.30 (and the cvs versions). He must have changed it himself.

yeah, but VIRCD it's older than bahamut 1.4.30

I think it's basead on a older release.

Instead of modifying eggdrop for the sake of new, up-coming IRCds, why can't a department or a section of the eggdev make small patches for those IRCds that are a bit known and famous? ..Not that you should make a patch for every other new IRCd being made.

But then, as i think, its really not good if support for new networks such as these should be hardcoded into the stable eggdrops; which may lead to more problems/errors.

Pathches will look good

The eggdev coders in question, as busy working away on coding 1.7, which is better than fixing eggdrop to work on broken products.

/me *nods*

It wuz just a suggestion to eggdev btw. Instead of them starting over with all new 'products'
