user:SendData when user is Operator

[HappyTheMan]

user:SendData("$To: "..user.sName.." From: "..BotName.." $"..msg)

Why do OPs don't get the <msg> while registred users do ?
What should I do to fix that ?
P.S. I don't want to use user:SendPM(FromNick, Data)
Thx a lot )

Use this:

user:SendData("$To: "..user.sName.." From: "..BotName.." $<"..BotName.."> "..msg)

user:SendData("$To: "..user.sName.." From: "..BotName.." $"..msg)

Do you call it on NewUserConnected()?

[HappyTheMan]

Use this:

user:SendData("$To: "..user.sName.." From: "..BotName.." $<"..BotName.."> "..msg)

But I don't want to see <BotName>

Do you call it on NewUserConnected()?

No on ChatArrival

Why not? I see no reason not to use it.

I don't want the have the <BotName> at the begining of the message

That's not an option with the DC protocol. PMs must have sender's nick specified.

[HappyTheMan]

it is specified: it is just not writen on the the begining of the message:
user:SendData("$To: "..user.sName.." From: "..BotName.." $"..msg)

[HappyTheMan]

I will try to be more explicit
The string user:SendData("$To: "..user.sName.." From: "..BotName.." $"..msg) works perfectly with non op users. For example when i send a cmd in pm to my chatroom:

[02:14:39] <User> test

i get a responses like:

[02:14:40]  *** Sorry but you are not allowed to chat here! Type !help to see how to use the ChatRoom

but when the user is an OP no response is shown in the PM window (but the pm, if it is a cmd, is still treated by the script)

[02:14:39] <[OP]User> test

and.. no response


Now why do i want that ? Because sometimes its more beautiful to get:

[02:14:40]  *** Sorry but you are not allowed to chat here! Type !help to see how to use the ChatRoom

than

[02:14:40]  <ChatRoom> *** Sorry but you are not allowed to chat here! Type !help to see how to use the ChatRoom

Especially because the chat rooms on my hub have big names like: <#Antechamber_(GUEST-Chat)>

Of course i could use the SendPM command, it's not important. But why does it work with normal users but not with OPs ? It is not logical. I want to know why LOL

Posted on: 29 September 2006, 03:29:01OK i am soooooo sorry...
I realized that the OP account used for testing was on a StrongDC v2.02 client which seems to be the origin of the problem.
It works fine with other clients

I really appologize for wasting your time....
please forgive me

Thank you all very much for your help
best regards

I don't want the have the <BotName> at the begining of the message

Then some clients (DC++ 0.68 and never + mods of it if they don't have it fixed like CZDC) will not show this message because they need this nick 

[HappyTheMan]

Yes. It looks you are right. Thank you for helping
I have fowarded this problem on the strongDC forum (bug section). If anyone is interested i can post the replies i got from them here.

[PPK]

Have luck with trying to change this in StrongDC++, i give you max 1 % chance that will be "fixed" ;D

[HappyTheMan]

You win!
Developer reply: "it's not our problem. Protocol specifies exact format of this command and different one won't be respected."

[bastya_elvtars]

Developer reply: "it's not our problem. Protocol specifies exact format of this command and different one won't be respected."

And they are right.

[PPK]

I am testing today some compatibility of PtokaX with Direct Connect client, and when i have it running then i tested what exact format of $To: command is accepted (if this client accept it then it means that it is Direct Connect protocol compatible) by this client.
This client accepting

$To: to_nick From: from_nick $message

to_nick must be nick used by client, and message not need to start with <nick> ... that means that newer DC++ and mods have bug ;D

[bastya_elvtars]

to_nick must be nick used by client, and message not need to start with <nick> ... that means that newer DC++ and mods have bug ;D

Wow, why did they divert from the specification?

[PPK]

I don't know...

[bastya_elvtars]

Stupid question it was, huh? They change everything. Why not report this as a bug and submit a patch?

[Stormbringer]

Hmmmmmmmm, HappyTheMan, you must know one thing, it will be more easy for you to make move the Everest to the pacific, than to see one of your request included in strongdc++ Mlol
