[IRCServices] Services 4.5pre0 released

[Strider]

SVSMODE and SVSNICK (along with SVSKILL and the other SVS commands) must be done from a ulined server, so your services admins were never able to do those commands directly. As for the raw, services admins should be able to do them as it is listed that way (at least on my test server). If you are having trouble with SVSNICK, and are using the format you posted...try adding a 1 at the end. It's a timestamp that is required so the server knows how to handle collisions. The command would be '/operserv raw svsnick curnick newnick 1'.

It would be great to have webtv support altogether. We don't get many webtv users, if any, but having it there would be benificial in the future. Maybe make a webserv like other services do and make it an option like statserv is.

And last, the ban list thing, there is an ircd feature to list the bans for the channel. I don't know the exactly command at the moment as I'm using a script to access it. But I'm sure if you took a script and looked at the code, you could easily find the command.

The things I've listed here to work I haven't had time to test yet. I have all of my opers testing the new ircd update along with the new services...as I put it to them, "break it". We are active in our beta tests, meaning if we find a bug we don't just disregard it. Tomorrow I will have more time to test the stuff so I will test every feature I can think of to the best of my ability, with whatever exploits I can think of.

  Anyone using Unreal1.1.1 out there have been able to allow their Services Administrators do commands like :

  SVSMODEs
  SVSNICK

  Or even 
  a raw like :   /MSG OperServ RAW SVSNICK CurrentNick NewNick    ?

  It looks like ONLY NET ADMINS can do those commands on our network, Our IRCops are set as Services Admins with Unreal and as Services Admins with IRCservices. I can only think of a bug or that these commands are ony reserved for NET ADMINS now , I remember however our Services Admins were able to do those commands in past versions.
  Any help would be appreciated.
  By the way so far IRCServices-4.5pre0 and Unreal3.1.1 have been running smoothly with no problems at all and all the problems with room topics have been fixed, I notice an overall improvement in the way services do everything. I have noticed only two things I would like to mention:

  1-) Services does not have a help topic with OperServ regarding the new CLEARCHAN , that's just cosmetic but it would look much better.

  2-) It would be nice if ChanServ would also send a confirmation message back at the user when they do:

  /ChanServ OP #Channel Nick 

  Some clients like WebTV dont have a visual idea of their status like PC users who see @ in front of their nicks and can get easily confused, this has been improved cause now it advices the user if they typed the wrong nick or the wrong channel name though.

  3-) A command like: /msg ChanServ LIST #Channel BANS  
  something like:  /msg ChanServ CLEAR #Channel BANS which already exists and its very useful.
