Then keep in mind you will not receive support from us any longer. We do NOT support people who have modified their Unreal.

The FAQ wrote:It is not possible to use any other symbol than & and ~, if you try it anyway you'll loose support and break other things (for example eggdrop 1.6.* has & and ~ hardcoded).

Good luck bro.

I am with sjef on this.

The coder's are working a lot with thes kinda code's.
And they have the right not to give any support if you have modified there work.

i did run unreal ircd with *! as prefixes and believe me it works! I didnÂ´t figure out any errors due to that! I donÂ´t know why the unreal coders say it doesnÂ´t work, but it does...
You should search for PREFIX_AQ in the ircd source there youÂ´ll find how to change it.

I know that there can be problems but i never figured out some. By the way i donÂ´t like prefixes for +aq ... i think op halfop und voice is enough anyways...

Wonder how hard you've been looking...

(if the developers said don't do it, there must be a very good reason for it)

Then just compile it without +aq prefixes.

@ Ron2k : i am not a newbie to ircds! I know how to read manuals and how to compile IRCds ... there is no reason to tell me how

And yes i know that there can be problems caused by that thing, but if you run it so, it seems to do fine and normal users wouldnÂ´t see the errors (i didnÂ´t see them to, but thatÂ´s another point)

The only bad thing that i can imagine is if there will be a pach or smth similer.
YOUR ircD will have error's and will not have to work properly like it is doing now.
But like you sad it you are not a newbie, you can fix it.
To me, why sould i try to fix smth that othere ppl have work to make it in the state it is now ?
Ds not make sens to me!

did i say one word that i still use unreal ircd? I used it some times ago WITH that changes, and yes we didnÂ´t see any errors, but the point is, if somebody WANTS to use it with it, he is on his own doing so! I am a friend of rfc conform ircdÂ´s and i will NEVER use the *! thingie again, but as I said, it seems to work. Everybody who takes a look in the source can change it (by the way, god confusing *.nickname prefix last time i played with unreal 3.1.* *gg*).
And i didnÂ´t say that i would say to somebody that he should change that!

Hi,
I'm not interested in changing the prefxes here, but i'd like to know if there is a way to disable the +aq prefixes for the Win32 version (RC2fix)? I'm unfortunatley confined to Windows for the foreseeable future, so would like to get this working.
Thanks.

You could, but it would require you to recompile your version of Unreal.

Draegonis · Post by **Draegonis** » Sun Mar 14, 2004 10:48 am

Sorry, but i'm not entirley sure what that entails on a Win32 system (would make perfect sense re-compliling on *nix, though).
If you're meaning that it would require me to re-install and do some funny things to it, i'd be quite willing - if you would show me how?
Thanks.
