ok, if it's the problem of a PM window not opening when a new users connect then its

Code: Select all

Sub NewUserConnected (curUser)

' make sure the user knows the bot already
   curUser.SendData "$Hello " & sBotName & "|"
   frmHub.DoEventsForMe()

' your stuff here

this makes sure that the users client "knows" who the bot is and will accept a PM from it, otherwise it can beleive that its a message from a offline user (DC++ clients will use in this case whatever is defined in the advanced settings) and therfore the results are a bit ambigous

This is because i hate new popups. If you want to open a new window with answer from the script, just type your question privately to it. Script will answer to the same window.

If you want to change that behavior, find line #1057 from the script:

Code: Select all

     curUser.SendData CStr("<"+sBotName+" (private)> "+sA)

and change it to:

Code: Select all

     curUser.PrivateMessage CStr(sBotName),CStr(sA)
