I have a bot scripted to run on the same computer as I'm on. For commands meant for me only, I run a simple hostmask check to see if the user is me or not. The function is:

;CHECKS TO MAKE SURE IT'S ME
alias isme {
if ($address($1,2) == $address($me,2)) {
return $true
}
return $false
}

The bug comes into play when the bot is disconnected and reconnected to a server (due to a netsplit, manual reconnect, etc.). The bot seems to be no longer to find it's own address. It returns the following:

[19:41:02] -RangerBot- Address mismatch; You aren't my owner!!
[19:41:04] -RangerBot- You: *!*@159.178.254.37
[19:41:06] -RangerBot- Me:

No address. The only solution is to restart mIRC. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

When it joins the channel, the user masks are unknown. Try adding this line to your bot, or add to the on join event you have currently...



That will who the whole channel, activly getting every user's host mask in the channel. >:F

Very execellent. Works perfectly.

Maybe something like that could be implemented into the program in the future? Or might that be too resource intensive or something?

Increases the chances of you flooding yourself off the server, would make a nice option though..
