Hi, i was searching all over this forum and another forum, and on different search engines.

I couldnt fine anything that would allow me to have an IRC Bot join my key protected (+k) channel to echo ingame messages.

I tried doing this...

pawn Код:

native ircJoinKeyChan(conn, channel[], key[]);

But it wouldnt work, it actually crashed my gamemode when trying to run it.

Then, when the bot connected i tried making it do ircSay("/join #channel key");

That didnt work either..

Then i had an idea

I defined the channel as #define ECHO_CHAN "#channel key"

Then for the connection i did

ircJoinChan(EchoConnection[0], ECHO_CHAN);

And it worked... The bot joined a key protected channel.

The only problem was it kept saying the key before every message.

<echoBot>: key [8]PlayerName: blah blah

It kept appearing like that.

So i defined the channel twice.

pawn Код:

#define ECHO_CHAN "#channel" // this is where msgs echo
#define ECHO_CHAN_KEY "#channel key" 

//Then when it comes to joining the channel
ircJoinChan(EchoConnection[0], ECHO_CHAN_KEY);

and for echo messages send them to ECHO_CHAN

Worked perfect for me.

I think you better use ircSendRawData.

ircSendRawData also isn't working. I was looking for a solution for this a long time ago but couldn't find it. This is quite usefull for people who want bots in their channels with a key on it, although I don't exactly know what is should be for? I think you're not giving the channel key to all players in your server?

ircSay does this:
PRIVMSG #CHANNEL :MESSAGE
If you make that to join you somewhere then it would be
PRIVMSG #CHANNEL :/join #CHANNEL PASSWORD

IRC raw isn't like the softened stuff you got in mIRC.
JOIN #channel password: ircSendRawData(conn, "JOIN #channel key");

Works insanely well for me.

I tried those other things. None worked.

All im doing is posting here what actually worked for me.

Since i searched around and couldn't find anything explaining how to do it. I thought i'd post how i got it working for me.

Only problem i've found is its crash prone in Linux servers, but perfect in wondows..

not sure why though..

Both the method posted by me and the one posted by c0der work perfectly fine, only on a windows server.

I added this same method to my Linux server and it kept crashing making the server constantly restart. The bot was joining the +k channel but kept quitting due to excess flood or time exdeed I think.
