Forums mIRC Help auto-voice when halfop

auto-voice does not seem to work when you're only halfop on the channel. Am I missing something ?

This could be a bug I guess, definitely a feature suggestion though. +h is a popular usermode (probably mainly due to the popularity of UnrealIRCd) and so I would have thought /avoice should support users who are +h. The /aop list should not support it obviously.

For now, you could use:

on *:join:#channel:{ if ($me ishop #) && (somehost isin $fulladdress) { mode # +v $nick } }

Where 'somehost' must be changed to the hostname of the user you wish to auto-voice (or the username or nickname). For wildcard masks (such as *!*user@host) see /help iswm.

My 2 cents.

Maybe the IRCD of the server you are on doesn't allow halfops to voice people?

As I have always been a user of networks that do not support the %halfop mode, as far as I know, the point of halfop is to be able to voice people. Some IRCds even allow a %halfop to kick users (but not ban) and some other op actions. The network I tested on (it used UnrealIRCd) did support the %halfop ability to voice users.

I think you're getting confused.

There are two kinds of mode +h, but they are easily distinguishable by mIRC.

The halfop +h is set on a channel as so:
:nick!user@host MODE #channel +h nick
The "is available for help" mode is set on a nickname:
:nick MODE nick :+h

Similarly on most networks there is a +o usermode and a +o channel mode. As a usermode it means IRCOp, and as a channel mode just a normal channel op.

The two kinds of modes are unrelated and exist entirely seperately from eachother.

Thank you, I completely forgot about +v/+h/+o/etc being channel not usermodes.

Sorry for the delay.

This is denitively a problem with mIRC. As an halfop I'm allowed to voice, kick, ban/unban. It's just mIRC not recognizing % (halfop) as a valid op mode.
I've resolved this by using a script (much better since I can use a regular expression).

For those who want to know, this is on EpiKnet IRC network.

Thanks for your help.

Not all networks give halfops the power to ban/kick or set modes etc etc - some networks set halfops to ONLY be able to voice others.

I believe mIRC was deliberately made not to allow halfops to use the autovoice feature because there may be issues with different IRCds. Who knows what the future holds though!
