thanks again for the help, that did it

i knew i should have used standard debian! ha, dunno if that would have mattered, but i converted this ubuntu 8.10 to a server a few months back out of laziness

Did I get you right, if you add the -n parameter, it works just fine, if you don't, it freezes? If that's the case, then you've got problems with threaded tcl8.5 not being properly detected as such. You'll find several threads regarding this all over the forum, search for threaded tcl, and you'll m...

I have been using eggdrops for years. I see the sercurity update today for 1.6.19 ctcp patch so i decide to download it and update. Now the bot won't connect irc at all. It makes absolutely NO sense because NO errors are printed to the error log with absolutely EVERY argument that I've added to the ...

There is another way to fix it. You can safely remove the -urlencoding "utf-8" and the -urlencoding "iso8859-1" from the ::http::config portions of the script. It should still behave exactly as it does with or without them (for the most part). The only reason for adding them is ...

What you need to do is go to your /lib/tcl8.*/ folder and copy http.tcl version 2.5 to the root of that folder. It's fine if you have them in folders as well, but the dominant copy o...

If you have .set enabled, you can try logging onto the bots partyline before issuing the command. Right after it's done, type .set errorInfo on the partyline and it might shed more like on the exact problem causing the interpreter to fail. If you consistantly get a 0byte ig-debug.txt the problem is...

Also, the script has a hidden debug feature discussed before. If you look in your eggdrop's root directory there should be a file called ig-debug.txt. This file will contain the latest html the bot has retrieved. So if you issue a !google anything and download the file from your bot immediately aft...

Some people might complain about google not working. For those I suggest you take a look at the debug output. If you see url (403): displayed along with google's sorry page and showing an empty cookie field. You will need to visit HERE and do what it suggests. Eventually I will add a method to inje...
