Hi there good folks of mIRC

I have a small issue I need help resolving.....

I have this bot i use to control my chat room and upto a few days ago i could remotely change the nick by typing:
!nick <new nick>
But for some reason I can not see it now does not seem to work

I have enclosed the script that worked, I add that this has not been altered at any time since it worked......

Code:

on 500:Text:nick*:?: {
if ($2 == $null) { .msg $nick Command incomplete. Syntax: /msg $me nick <nickname to use>. | halt }
if ($2 !== $null) { 
  if ($2 === $me) { .msg $nick I already have that nick. | halt }
  else { //nick $2 | .msg $nick Nickname change attempt completed. }
}
}

the 500 is the number assigned to the bot owner just incase anyone is unsure.
Any help on this matter would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance

Well, if you're doing the command, you need to be 500+. Also, the script is set to use:

nick newnick

Not:

!nick newnick

And it will only work in PM.

I cant see how that script ever worked. maybe use the following.

Code:

on 500:text:!nick*:?: {
  if (!$2) || ($2 === $me) { .msg $nick $iif($ifmatch == $me,i already have that nick,Syntax: /msg $me nick <nickname to use>.) | return }
  nick $2 | .msg $nick Nick change completed.
}

Neither of those responses seemed to cure the problem but thanks guy's i'll keep on it as i know it worked up till my last re-install so it has to be something i am missing.
