I use the old flag system as opposed the new version but i have found that can_override (v) does not work on the old flag system... I am using unreal 3.2.8.1 with anope 1.8.5

any idea why despite having all the flags.. its not working correctly please as i dont really want to have to go an edit all the oper blocks to the new flags if i can help it.

oper Cheiron {
class opers;
from {
userhost *@*;
};
password "xxxxxxxxxxx";
flags oOCAaNrRDhgwnGcLkKbBzZtvqHWXd;
swhois "is cqchat owner";
snomask CcefFGjknNoqsSv;

};

Old flags worked perfectly for me: are you sure you don't have any duplicate blocks and you rehashed and re-opered after changing any blocks?

Im curious as to what specifically isn't working. Saying can_override isn't working is rather vague considering there is more that an oper can't do than can, even with overrides.

ok. lets start with the can_override flag then..

i have no duplicates on the oper block against my name. we did some testing as a training session yesterday and with a room marked +i (invite) i could not enter it without either sajoining myself to it or manually typing /invite <mynick> <channelname>

we set some bans using various masks... again, i could not enter the channel until the ban was removed or i sajoined myself.

this was using the old oper flag style as shown on my first post.

Both my bots have the same flags as me, but again.. they are all different named opers and connecting from userhost *@*

This is normal. It is a safeguard in Unreal so opers know they are banned or otherwise restricted from joining a channel. If I remember correctly there is a pre-compile option to disable this but it is not recommended to do so.

There is a config option. You need to use the -advanced switch to get to it.

so basically then, by simply being able to invite myself to a channel and then joining it without needing chanserv access means the can_overrride flag is actually working then yes ?

Yes.
