SYMPTOMS
- Everyone is counted as an op one more time than supposed to. Ops are counted twice, while everyone else is counted as ops once (too).
- Anyone with more than one mode (op/halfop/voice) is counted equally many times. (For example both as op and voice)
- Being alone with +ohv in a channel will return 1 total user(s), 2 ops, 1 halfop, 1 voice to a /names request.
SHORT ANSWER
Scratching the surface of this, it appears that PnP can't handle UHNAMES messages from server properly.
LONG ANSWER
UHNAMES is different as the whole nick!user@host is returned in addition to every mode (@%+) the user has on channel instead of just a nickname with
the first matching prefix.
PnP seem to count every occurrence of defined prefixes when it receives a NAMES reply from server. This includes every usermodes set, plus the @
between ident and ip/host will increase the op count as well. With traditional NAMES responses, this hasn't been an issue.
It's not as much a bug as it is something PnP just wasn't designed to do. Nevertheless, it is still a problem that can - and should be - addressed
with a script fix. With PnP no longer in active development, such fixes depends on being submitted by the community.craze - 17-1-2009 at 15:36
I've been experimenting with a workaround, which seems to work for me. If anyone would like to try this and post some feedback, I'd appreciate it.
This workaround works by only counting the prefix if the character in front is a space. It does reintroduce the "issue" with a person only being
counted with their highest mode even if (s)he has more than one of op/halfop/voice set.
Good luck! d-(",)z
