#602 psybnc + freenode-irc => userlist loses entries

[Anonymous]

when connecting to psybnc using freenode irc the userlist of any freenode channel loses entries up to a point where not even my own nickname is showing up anymore.. only /part /join helps to get back the userlist.

i wrote a little perl plugin to keep a database of joined users on freenode channels => the join/part events are doing ok.. users just dont show up in the userlist at a probability of about 80% (after some time).

this doesnt happen in other irc clients as eg. irssi .

using xchat v2.0.8 linux

If it works fine without psybnc, isn't it psybnc's fault?
That is, it should be transparent.

Personally, I don't have/use pysbnc, so someone else will
need to look into this.

well.. since it s working with other irc clients and is problematic _only_ with xchat (ok maybe other irc clients, too) it s definitely an xchat issue. :)

update:

the problem is the following:
with bouncer software you dont join a channel yourself, but
you only get a ujoin event.

the problem now is (couldn't figure that out from the source
yet) that add_name isn't called for _only_ already connect
freenode channels on bouncer connect.
/names #freenode~#freenodechan remedies this, but is a pita ;)

the problem is that usertree_alpha isn't created for the
freenode channels since add_name doesn't get called.

my fix for this is nearly finished already.
i'm issueing an additional p_names in ujoin if the who
command didn't succeed to get the info (configurable via
xchat.conf) which makes xchat create the usertrees via the
nameslist/nameslist_end functions.

the only thing left is a minor issue: /who,/names shows up
in the server's status window.

i m at it right now.

ok, after an odyssey through pretty much most of the xchat tree and lots of different approaches the final patch is only 4 lines ..
