Hi,
Eggdrop v1.6.18 (C) 1997 Robey Pointer (C) 2006 Eggheads
[19:37] --- Loading eggdrop v1.6.18 (Mon Dec 17 2007)
[19:37] * Please make sure you edit your config file completely.
This is all I get when I run eggdrop -m eggdrop.conf & my bot never shows up in IRC. I'm really new to irc and eggdrop so I don't know how to DCC connect to my bot to look for info if someone could instruct how to do so I'll try that and see if it gets me anywhere. I pretty much know nothing about IRC but I'm far from computer illiterate.
Any response will be greatly appreciated |

first thing you need to do is a little research before you can jump into launching an eggdrop. Go to Setting Up Your Eggdrop, and read it completely. After that, you need to read your conf file, I mean really read it from top to bottom, adjusting each setting as needed. Just as a reminder, any line that starts with a hash symbol (# <-- this thing) is not read by the eggdrop. If you need any other help, by all means post it here, I am certain someone would be glad to assist. Cheers

ummm ... I skipped over most of setting up my eggdrop since it's pre-installed in my shell so the only thing I really need to do is configure it and run it. I was sure I read most of the relevant stuff in the .conf file, found the line with the DIE command, but I need to really read it top to bottom even though alot of the settings I'm reading about I don't understand and/or am not going to use. Are there anymore funny lines like the one that says die? Well I'll post again after I read my .conf file thoroughly.
Thanks for the reply

For a start it's not wise to use use those "pre-installed" bots.
Download the source yourself and use the link already given BUT this time use eggdrop.conf (a properly laid out configuration file) to set up your bot.
| Code: | | wget ftp://ftp.eggheads.org/pub/eggdrop/source/1.6/eggdrop1.6.18.tar.gz |

Hello again
Eggdrop v1.6.18 (C) 1997 Robey Pointer (C) 2006 Eggheads
[01:42] --- Loading eggdrop v1.6.18 (Tue Dec 18 2007)
[02:42] Can't load modules dns: /home/l8night/modules/dns.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[02:42] Can't load modules channels: /home/l8night/modules/channels.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[02:42] Tcl error in file 'eggdrop.conf':
[02:42] invalid command name "channel"
while executing
"channel add #junky { } # chanmode "+nt-likm""
(file "eggdrop.conf" line 492)
[02:42] * CONFIG FILE NOT LOADED (NOT FOUND, OR ERROR)
So I went over my conf file once again and found some other stuff I needed to change ... I think. I have no idea where the dude who runs the shell server has the eggdrop modules, can I just upload my own from the archive that was linked in the previous post? And also as you can see it's giving me crap about the channel add command saying that it's not the right command even though I just uncommented it from the config file.
I tried to compile my own eggdrop but ./configure complains that the version of Tcl on the server is too old. The server has 8.4 & the configure script says I at least need 8.4.6? I don't understand this because the version of eggdrop I was trying to compile is the same version the server has. Please help with some suggestions of what I should do next.
Thanks,
Jeff |

Hi there
The modules should be in /home/l8night/eggdrop/modules/
Also, i think that you made a mistake when you tried to uncomment these :
| Quote: | # channel add #lamest {
# chanmode "+nt-likm"
# idle-kick 0
# stopnethack-mode 0
# revenge-mode 0
# ban-time 120
# exempt-time 60
# invite-time 60
# aop-delay 5:30
# need-op { putserv "PRIVMSG #lamest  p me cos i'm lame!" }
# need-invite { putserv "PRIVMSG #lamest :let me in!" }
# need-key { putserv "PRIVMSG #lamest :let me in!" }
# need-unban { putserv "PRIVMSG #lamest :let me in!" }
# need-limit { putserv "PRIVMSG #lamest :let me in!" }
# flood-chan 10:60
# flood-deop 3:10
# flood-kick 3:10
# flood-join 5:60
# flood-ctcp 3:60
# flood-nick 5:60
# } |
So after uncommenting these lines, you should have something like this
| Quote: | channel add #junky {
chanmode "+nt-likm"
idle-kick 0
stopnethack-mode 0
revenge-mode 0
ban-time 120
exempt-time 60
invite-time 60
aop-delay 5:30
.
.
.
}

l8night: The key to setting these up is not getting flustered and taking your time. Sleeping helps also.

WOOOHOOO!!!
Finally got my bot to show up. Thanks a lot for the help!! Now I can venture into the other parts of the forums = P. The only thing that I didn't get loaded was the scripts that are at the end of the .conf file, since there are no scripts on the shell server. Now to start playing around with me bot and seeing what I can do with it!! Thanks again. Oh yeah how do you telnet into your bot?

| I'm trying to dcc chat with my bot but it's never connecting. Do you think it has something to do with me not having any scripts? or is it a setting I don't have. When I type /msg botname hello nothing happens. could someone direct me to a setting that I need to change? In the meantime I'm going to go through my conf once again |

| Quote: | # Many IRCops find bots by seeing if they reply to 'hello' in a msg.
# You can change this to another word by un-commenting the following
# two lines and changing "myword" to the word wish to use instead of
# 'hello'. It must be a single word.
#unbind msg - hello *msg:hello
#bind msg - myword *msg:hello |
Uncomment the 2 lines and replace myword by a word you choose, like yellow
| Code: | unbind msg - hello *msg:hello
bind msg - yellow *msg:hello |
Restart your bot and on IRC : | Code: | | /msg botnick yellow |
