Looks like its been obfuscated.. Search the forum for other threads where obfuscation and such have been discussed.. Good luck.

De-obfuscating this is pretty easy... just try something like this:

Authors find it necessary to obfuscate (obscure) their code because there are users that simply ignore the GNU General Public Licence and (apparently) have no concept of the The Open Source Definition.

Many excellent coders have simply "packed their bags" and left because of this continuous code ripping and credit being taken for another's hard effort.

Every effort should be made to contact author's regarding any modification to their code a particular user would like (or a feature added).

It is interesting that the original poster simply stated "because the author of that tcl is missing" without actually revealing the author or posting the script.

Actually, obfuscating is'nt quite in line with GPL or similar licenses, as the main objective with most of these licenses are re-usable code.

Actually, when speaking in terms of the General Public License, there is no requirement whatsoever in contacting anyone in the chain of authors, as long as the resulting code complies with the GPL license. You'd usually only have to contact those if you would like to use your code outside the context of the GPL, requesting concent from any and all contributing authors of the work you based your on work upon.
Also, whenever releasing any work under GPL, you are required to provide a sourcecode copy to whomever have recived a license for the work in question. Not releasing an un-obfuscated version of the (GPL'd) work might in itself be a violation of GPL.

Now, wether this speciffic script was released under GPL or some other licensing (open source or otherwize) was never specified in the original post.

well it was coded by one of my friend who has quit IRC the problem is that we encoded those scripts so that no one on the shell will ever steal the code and the backup I had in my harddisk was gone due to harddisk failure. So now I have some problems coming up using that tcl. If I had that decoded I mean the whole script I have just shown half of it.. I will be able to use it further.

As stated in an earlier post, these kind of obfuscations are very easy to break.
In this case, the first part is simply escaped characters in a poor attempt to hide this string: "if 7607512 [string map ......]"

Now we know the rest of the block is simply two arguments for "string map", so we extract them;

Thanks but kinda hard to understand ;/

Well, "\151" is just another way of writing "i". That is an "escaped character". Just like "\u66" is another way of writing "f". Hence "\151\u66" is just another way of writing "if"...

You should be fairly familiar with the string map command by now...

Alchera is right, it's why I stopped releasing scripts and frankly I don't really care much for eggdrop scripts anymore anyway.

I don't think that people here should be deobfuscating scripts that don't belong to them, another good reason why people stop making these things if others will just deobfuscate them when asked.

[iamdeath]

if my post is soo annoying I close it and expecting no more replies. but I meant was to fix bugs anyway I will try to recreate that tcl which is going to be hard for me.

Thanks
