alias help

Post by TheMenaCe »

Hello guys.
I want in my server to be able to use commands /os /ns /cs . By default they are not operating (thus i have to type /operserv /nickserv /chanserv etc).

I tryed to add a line like

alias ns { type services; };

in my unrealircd.conf but all that happened is that when i type /ns help (or other command) it says:
Services are currently down. Please try again later.

while services are not down for real. So my alias is a fail. Do you know what i have to do to solve this? thanks so much.

I'm going to assume you use Anope here, if you dont then we can talk about the differences.

Try adding: include "aliases\anope.conf"; to your unrealircd.conf

This question gets asked a lot so later I'll write a tutorial on the topic so it can be pinned and referenced later. there is also a search feature in the top right corner that you should use before creating new threads. This helps prevent the same question from being asked over and over. thanx ;)

i tryed to include the file you said but it says:

*** Notice -- Loading IRCd configuration ..
*** Notice -- error: Couldn't open "aliasesanope.conf": No such file or directory
*** Notice -- error: Could not load config file aliasesanope.conf
*** Notice -- error: IRCd configuration failed to load
-

I think that thats because the file name is wrong. Then i tried to include:

include "aliases/aliases.conf" which i think is what you ment before (because such a file existed and its name was similar to what you said) and with that file it loads normaly , but it doesnt work again.. its like nothing happens! Thanks for your interest!!

PS: I do use Anope services.

Katsklaw said it right: "include "aliases\anope.conf"; ", you just typed it wrong in the unrealircd.conf, but that's all good. Now you did it right.

If it doesn't work, check the following:

- Are the services actually linked? (/links on IRC to check it out)
- Are you U:Lines set correctly? (*Help about U:Lines)
- Is the services-server set correctly? (*Help about set-block)

Please report back to us once you have tried, adjusted and tested the above recommendations.

Casper and Katsklaw , first of all i am really greatful for your support. Here are the answers to your questions:

- Are the services actually linked? (/links on IRC to check it out) -> yes , both the real and the services server apear on /links

- Are you U:Lines set correctly? (*Help about U:Lines) -> In the Ulines block i have services and stats servers added. Also, my services work as they should be working , except for the fact that they dont respond to /os /ns /cs .-

Is the services-server set correctly? (*Help about set-block) -> In this part i dont know if its configured correctly so i will paste the file from my shell so you can see:set {
kline-address "[email protected]";
modes-on-connect "+ixw";
modes-on-oper "+xwgs";
oper-auto-join "#opers";
dns {
nameserver 127.0.0.1;
timeout 2s;
retries 2;
};
options {
hide-ulines;
/* You can enable ident checking here if you want */
/* identd-check; */
show-connect-info;
};

maxchannelsperuser 10;

anti-spam-quit-message-time 10s;
/* Make the message in static-quit show in all quits - meaning no
custom quits are allowed on local server */
/* static-quit "Client quit"; */

/* You can also block all part reasons by uncommenting this and say 'ye$

/* static-part yes; */

/* This allows you to make certain stats oper only, use * for all stats,

* Some admins might want to remove the 'kGs' to allow normal users to $
* klines, glines and shuns.
*/
oper-only-stats "okfGsMRUEelLCXzdD";

*/
oper-only-stats "okfGsMRUEelLCXzdD";

/* Throttling: this example sets a limit of 3 connection attempts per 6$
throttle {
connections 3;
period 60s;
};

/* Anti flood protection */
anti-flood {

};
};


Thank you again.

faulse alarm . Seems like now it works:

I replaced:

include "aliases/aliases.conf" with include "aliases/anope.conf" --> seems like they were different. Also , the only mistake of Katsklaw was that he said include "aliases\anope.conf" (\/ difference).

Guys i am most thankful for your support. You are the best! thanks!

Just as a side note here. He wasn't wrong. He assumed you were working on a Linux-box (most do). You appear to be working on Windows, so that's difference in slashes.

Just a side-side note... Unreal should translate file paths using / to \ on Windows. :)
