I've encountered a problem with the ZNC and AWAY mode. I'll describe the steps that create the "problem."

1. I start mIRC.
2. I connect to the ZNC, which is already connected to the IRC server.
3. I set it to AWAY mode (/AWAY blah blah blah...), and mIRC recognizes that it's now in AWAY mode.
4. I disconnect from the ZNC without removing my AWAY status.
5. I reconnect to the ZNC, but unfortunately, mIRC no longer recognizes AWAY mode.
6. This problem is confusing the automatic reply system to private messages when I should be in AWAY mode.

This is a simple script I use when I set AWAY mode:
on *:TEXT:*:?: if ($away) { msg $nick I'M AWAY - Try again later. If you need help with network services, join the #support channel. }

VERSION:

  • ZNC 1.9.1
  • mIRC 7.81

/msg *status listmods
<*status> User modules:
<*status> chansaver
<*status> webadmin
<*status> controlpanel
<*status> Network modules:
<*status> simple_away

It looks like mIRC only stores the /away status for $away when you send it from mIRC. The $away status is lost when you disconnect from ZNC.

ZNC sending :irc.znc.in 306 KindOne :You have been marked as being away does nothing.

I attempted at patching znc, but that did not work.

As far as I can tell the only way to fix this issue is to use a mIRC script to set you /away when you connect. Example:

raw 306:*:{
  away Foobar
}
It looks like mIRC only stores the /away status for `$away` when you send it from mIRC. The `$away` status is lost when you disconnect from ZNC. ZNC sending `:irc.znc.in 306 KindOne :You have been marked as being away` does nothing.

mIRC beta 7.84.2042 now accepts the 306 when reconnecting to ZNC. The $away in mIRC is now accurate.
