CSB_FlagsUpate..?

[Mephisto]

Because they probably have additional flags than just operator status and being squelched?  When I squelch an operator w/o a UDP plug their flags are 0x22.  When I squelch a user w/ a UDP plug their flags are 0x30.  Any combinations of flags can result in a final result.

Ok so how can I fix all of this exactly?

[Mephisto]

It's already been explained.  If you still can't figure it out stop asking questions about bots and go learn VB.

It might also be of value to read Grok's recent post in the News forum.

Vernors, not saying this and coming down on ya like a ton of bricks but,

People usually dont answer every single question. I can understand why, because they want you to learn it yourself, so then you wont need to ask and ask and ask.
Maybe if you thought about it, learnt it, you could maybe work it out forself.

Sorry if i offended you in this post!

[Vernors]

Lol, nope no offence I understand.. It's just I have tried and tried and tried but I don't understand.. Maybe my friends Unleaded and Tagban were right that I need to just learn all of VB first and then look at source codes learn from them and then start from scratch with what I have learned. Tagban said use CSB as a start but it seems to make everyone look like a newb.. maybe I should just give up and just do it with winsock it seems to be a bit easier then CSB.. lmao sounds funny but yea.. to me winsock seems just easier then CSB.

EDIT: Had to fix some typos.

[QwertyMonster]

Yo dude i didnt send my post for you to say your gunna delete all your work.

My only advice is.. Keep the code and keep reviewing it and do start again with winsock. But keep your CSB code just incase winsock is too hard. I would be more than happy to help you with winsock!

[Vernors]

Lol, nah I am not gonna delete it. I am gonna keep it but make the same exact project but just use Winsock instead.

Then tell me, how come when I squelch a user with flags of 0 their flags turn to 32? I would like to know. Also when I squelch an ops with flags of 2 their flags turn to 34?

20 (hexadecimal) equals 32 (decimal)


You're viewing flags in base-10 rather than base-16. That's a mistake.

And just to clarify for him who probably doesn't know the difference...
base-10 = decimal
base-16 = hexidecimal (hex)

When dealing with flag manipulation (in the assumption flags are represented as unsigned integers and mnipulated with binary bitwise operators) you should process the flags in hexidecimal, not decimal.

OK, I'm learning about hex too. I'm asuming when you count in hex it goes like..

And so on.. Right?

[tA-Kane]

Silly people. Can't you pay attention to his code?

Also, 0x32 is not squelched, it's 0x20.

Who said anything about 0x32?? His code has 32. 32 = 0x20.

Though you are right that he should use bitwise functions to check if flags are set.


Edit: bah, didn't notice there was a page 2

Actually, VB can't represent flags as an unsigned integer.  It only supports signed integers.

Ew.

The ideal would be binary.  That way you know what each hex digit can represent.  For example, if the hex number 20 represents squelched, that means, you can break it into binary:

0010 0000
..^. ....
  |-(that is the bit that indicates the user is squelched)
