Steps:

• Create webhook, set the channel in the webhook setting to the same as in bot config
• Launch bot with the config above. Rename with /nick in Discord and IRC to identical name.

Conclusion:

• Webhook doesn't seem to work.

I set this up the other day, and webhook seems to work fine (I'm using cloned, not installed from npm repositories), potentially an issue due to the - at the end of your name?

I now tested with a different nick name without special characters, same result. I'll test the clone method on the weekend.

So, I don't write or claim to know how js works. I'm a shell script man myself. However looking over the bot.js from #230 it looks like it might be due to the bot seeing more than 1 user with the same username? I'm not entirely sure. I've checked to see if there's any sort of logging that the bot does and there isn't, which would be useful in cases like this, esp. if you could enable/disable at launch with a flag.

I really enjoy the premise and functionality of this bot, even if the administration and debugging features are lacking. Maybe I should learn some js.

I tested this on a 12 person channel using red- and redtest nicknames (both with /nick command). Unsure if the bot requires the irc nick to match to the first part of the actual red#3333 Discord user ID.

It might, I know someone is having a similar issue Fiaxhs#1 but it's been since January. It's super weird it's not working for you though :/

Not working for me either. I installed from npm but it says the version matches the latest version tag here on github.

So I did a little testing this morning on my own. It looks like the IRC nick has to match the username for discord, not the channel nick. Pardon the potato quality on the snip, haven't had coffee yet

My "nick" in that discord is tyrl, because tyral causes my terminal to ding repeatedly while I'm in discord, but it still pulls my avatar, and I think it's because it sees my discord username.

@Fiaxhs might be able to shed more light on it if they're still working on it, but it looks like it's working "as intended."

[redfellow]

Using latest commit from this repo, the functionality doesn't work, but after I installed via npm it works properly. It's matching against the set /nick as well.

I'm unsure what causes this, but for all intents and purposes, my problem is solved.
