Hello!

I have 5 bots all 4 are linked for one. When I try to link him I get

Refused telnet@my.bot.host.com (invalid handle: botname)

I have searched for this but unable to find the info I need or what I am doing wrong. 3 of the 5 bots were 1.4.x bots upgraded to 1.6.19 which I did not upgrade my friend not sure if that matters, the other two were fresh installs of 1.6.19 that I did and having no issues with those anyways.

Also on the upgraded bots I get this error on the party line over and over but not on all the bots or all the time? I was told it was because I added a TCL script and it's causing issues but I only have the preinstalled scripts.

[10:46] <botname> [05:37] Tcl error in script for 'need-op':
[10:46] <botname> [05:37] invalid command name "gain_entrance"

This is driving me nuts and I can not figure out the problem.

I am not a complete eggdrop idiot as I got the two new bots online with no issues but same time I am not able to figure out these issues.

Thanks if you can help figure this out!~

In case you haven't already, read about linking bots here.

About the Tcl error, you probably have invalid syntax in the need-op channel setting of one or more channels. Use .chaninfo #channel to check what's the need-op setting and ".chanset #channel need-op" to remove it.

Yeah I read the bot linking page and got 4 others to link flawlessly.

-----------------------------------

Ok great on the need-op thing I see what channel is the problem is now.

Working on it now.

Make sure the bots you're trying to link do not have the same handle.

Add your handle to the "owner" setting in your eggdrop.conf and you'll become a permanent owner.

Ok need-op is fixed I think. Got to work on another bot and then I will get back to the botnet issues.
