Ok, had no problem getting the bots up and running. But when it gets to the linking part I seem to have an issue that won't go away.

Mind you on one server I am running Windrop and on the other normal Eggdrop. Both are the same 1.6.17 versions.

Every time I attempt to get the bots to link up I get the error

Non-matching handle lengths with Chanbot, they use 9 characters.

On the other bot the same error but 32 characters.

I have checked both bots config files and made sure they are both either at nick-len 9 or nick-len 32. No matter what I do and no matter how many times I stop and restart the bots I cannot get this to change for some reason.

From the first config file:

# network. The default setting is 9. The maximum supported length by Eggdrop
# is 32.
set nick-len 9

From the second config file:

# network. The default setting is 9. The maximum supported length by Eggdrop
# is 32.
set nick-len 9

It would appear everything is fine but no matter what I try I continue to get this same error almost as if it is ignoring that line completely in the configuration files.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong as I am a relative noob and just don't see what is likely obvious to most others.

find this file on both bots (usually eggdropx.x.xx/src/eggdrop.h)

Line 63 - change to read
#define HANDLEN 32 /* valid values 9->NICKMAX */

Then recompile the bots and restart.
