Hay, the crypt module is show the worng mode in IRC

Insted of show

[2017-03-27] [21:11:51]  »» [@foo] random massage
[2017-03-27] [21:18:47]  »» [+bar] random massage

It shows

[2017-03-27] [21:11:51]  »» [*foo] random massage
[2017-03-27] [21:18:47]  »» [*bar] random massage

So every mode is replaced whit *, this will be a problem if you run lets say an eggdrop for an example as it won´t found the nickname when its has * in start of the nick.

The problem seems to be confirmed about someone that know how to read the code here

Disable it then, dependant on which version of ZNC you're on, this is done by either:

SetKey [nick-prefix] :
SetKey @nick-prefix@ :
SetNickPrefix

Disable it then, dependant on which version of ZNC you're on, this is done by either: - SetKey [nick-prefix] : - SetKey @nick-prefix@ : - SetNickPrefix

I use ZNC 1.6.3 and latest version of crypt module, as i copy the latest one yesterday from the github to test if that would reslove the problem

But this one is set whit "SetKey #channel <key>"

You can´t mean i have to set it for every single nickanme in the channel?

The * come from the channel chat, and i don´t get the point whit nick-prefix is there anyway to get "user/+voice/@op/~founder"

No, I literally mean it as I wrote it down, but as you're using 1.6.3 I'll narrow it down:
/msg *crypt SetKey [nick-prefix] :
I recommend using 1.7.* though as it has, amongst others, an updated Crypt module with dedicated SetNickPrefix/GetNickPrefix commands and addition of KeyX command for use with CBC in PM's.

So every mode is replaced whit *

As genius3000 explained to you, this has nothing to do with modes. Read again what he told you.

Modules are not guaranteed to be compatible with older ZNC versions. It works only the other way around.
