I am using Windrop with standard modules, the bot is working and joins the IRC server.

Running Windows Vista.

I am trying to add a non-standard module, Megahal. I downloaded the latest Megahal, as well as the megahal.dll linked from in a certain thread on this forum. I placed the megahal.dll in my modules folder, together with all the other MODULENAME.dll files, and is now left with the MEGAHAL.MOD folder.


Where do I place this? There are no other MODULENAME.MOD folders that I can see, and there are no executable files inside the MEGAHAL.MOD folder.

# Extract megahal.dll into the modules folder.
# Extract the rest of the files into the eggdrop's main folder.
# Edit you bot's *.conf file and add the line (anywhere): loadmodule megahal
# Rehash your bot

That could overwrite certain files, though - Which is what I am sceptical to doing, many modules on the same Windrop would likely some time end up with the same names for files.

By Extract the rest of the files into the eggdrop's main folder means extract megahal folder and contents not just extracting contents put the whole megahal folder directly to the bots directory then source it

By sourcing it, you would mean placing "loadmod megahal" anywhere in the Eggdrop.conf file?

Open the archive containing megahal. Inside you find megahal.dll, copy that to your ..\eggdrop\modules\ folder. Every other file, stash in the folder ..\eggdrop\. The only file that could be overwritten is a stray "readme.txt" in your egg's root. Afterwards, add the line "loadmodule megahal" somewhere in your eggdrop.conf. The problem you will experience is that the newest windrop does not work properly with megahal (it's a known tcl 8.5 issue). Hence me advising people to use windrop 1.6.17/tcl 8.4 and the exact same megahal.dll that I am using as shown above with my dialogue with sp33chy.

Place the megahal.mod folder into the recycle bin and empty it. That folder contains the sources used to compile and create the megahal.dll. You won't require these if your using the pre-compiled megahal.dll.
