Forums Bug Reports 6.17 bug sending messages to multiple targets

/notice Alucard,uselessbot hi -> only Alucard gets it
/notice uselessbot,Alucard hi -> only uselessbot gets it
Same for msg's.

/raw notice Alucard,uselessbot hi -> both get it, as is supposed to happen.

I'm switching right back to 6.16. This, sockets breaking, the highlighting issue, and my complete and utter lack of need for UTF-8 support makes bug-ridden 6.17 only an annoyance for me. Time to wait for 6.18!

Confirmed, although you could have omitted the whining part

Actually not confirmed, I had tested it with an alias I knew to
be broken, when I remembered the alias, I tested using the
original NOTICE command and it worked perfectly.

This seems to work fine for me, on which IRC server does this happen?

On every server I'm on. Two running Unreal 3.2.4, one bahamut 1.8, one hybrid 6.0.

Another person on 6.17 just tested it on one of those servers, same results. irc.surrealchat.net is one.

But, I don't think it's the IRC server, I think it's mIRC, because as I showed, sending the command as a /raw leads to the correct results, but when mIRC is allowed to parse it first, it doesn't work correctly.

Ah-ha, I just thought of something. Here's what I typed:
/notice uselessbot,[a]lucard hi
And here's what mIRC acutally sent (xref the debug window):
-> hanashi.surrealchat.net NOTICE uselessbot :hi

Then:
/raw notice uselessbot,[a]lucard hi
Actually sent:
-> hanashi.surrealchat.net notice uselessbot,[a]lucard hi


(Yes, I'm making sure my remote is off before testing, so no chance of any scripts interfering).



On a side note, apologies for the "whining" as one poster put it, I'm a bit stressed atm, but, I'm also not impressed with how 6.17 breaks several things I use regularly.

I can't confirm this. I tried it on my network and on the one you included in your post.

-> hydra.surrealchat.net NOTICE [r]andomnick,[randomnick] :test


<- :randomnick!genius@SCnet-36C55C1F.my.host.net NOTICE [r]andomnick :test


<- :randomnick!genius@SCnet-36C55C1F.my.host.net NOTICE [randomnick] :test

Have you tried this with a fresh install of mIRC? You said you disabled remotes, but you could still have a /notice alias on the aliases tab.

-genius_at_work

This works fine for me ...

..it works on a fresh install. But, I'm not overriding /notice anywhere, remotes or aliases, so I have no idea why it wouldn't work for me.

Try this on the mIRC that has the error:

//echo -a $isalias(notice)

$true means you have an existing alias called /notice

-genius_at_work

try this too

//echo -a $isalias(notice).fname

gives u the file name of the script that has the alias

(note upp and most theme type scripts have a alias for that)

The bug occurs only and exactly when the chat font (i.e. for queries) for the first nickname (usually the default chat font) is set to "Display and encode". It's a UTF-8 related bug.

Don't ask how I found this out.

How did you find this out?

bah :tongue:

I set it to "display and encode"
alias printoutput { tokenize 32 $1- | if ($1 == ->) echo -a Sent: $3- | return }

I typed: /debug -i nul printoutput

This is what it appeared after, it works fine for me, and imo mirc 6.17 has good improvements. Just cos you don't need UTF-8 doesn't mean noone needs it (not like i would need it).
I don't know how some people used ssl so you argue it's not working, it worked fine for me. The only thing i dislike in this version is the highlighting thing, cos if a color is same as it's background, you can't read it, you have to copy it to clipboard and then paste it to editbox.
Offtopic: Welcome back, Khaled

I'm guessing that you set the font for the wrong window. It could also be that there are some exceptions which will not cause this bug to manifest itself on certain platforms different from mine (I use a very standard XP SP2 installation)..

Steps to reproduce this bug:

1) Install a clean mIRC 6.17
2) Set nickname to "testABC"
3) Connect to any server (I used a QuakeNet server)
4) Type "/debug @debug"
5) Type "/query testABC"
6) Right-click on this query window's switchbar button, and click on "Font.."
7) In this menu, set UTF-8: to "Display and encode", and press OK
8) Now type "/notice testABC,testABC test" in any window
9) In the @debug window, you will see "-> servername NOTICE testABC :test"

Works for me every time..

Thanks this has been fixed for the next bugfix release.

God has spoken !!!! (Where is the woshiping emoticons when you need them).

Found one :



Any ETA for the release of mIRC 6.18

I know that iRC 6.12 was released 3 days after 6.11. Any chance of having a similar case here?
