@Papillon Yes. There are no bugs, only lessons. I am a very amateur programmer and had no clear idea of the way in which scripts work within the bot. I saw them as little packages, ring-fenced by the bind which calls them. I know better now.

Just a short note about the outcome. After half an hour learning about namespaces my scripts now work together without any problems.

Thank-you all for prompt and helpful responses. After papillon replied I had tried changing the names of the procedures attached to binds, but I was still experiencing a problem with a global variable (same name in both scripts), and now I am having a further problem with another variable (also same...

I have had trouble formulating a good subject line for this question, but it comes down to the fact that I must have a fundamental misunderstanding of binds. Can anyone explain to me please what I am doing wrong here? I have written two scripts (mychann.tcl and mychann_ops.tcl). As you might expect,...

Did you remember to remove the "unbind" command that disables the .tcl partyline command from the config-file?

No, I forgot (duh). It is working now. Many thanks.

Hello, I have been trying to use the .tcl command. Whenever I use it I get the "What? You need help" response. This happens whether I am telnetted into my shell or in a ctcp chat session with the bot. It happens on single word commands or with the example here on egghelp.org: .tcl putserv ...

Many thanks nml375 - I am just starting on writing these scripts - I had not noticed that command.

Does onchan see nicks which are absent due to a netsplit? I have a trivia bot ("Bot_A" with an alternate nick "Bot_A_Backup"), and another bot ("Bot_B"), which is on the channel to do other things. Sometimes Bot_A stalls and it nice to have Bot_B force a restart. It iss...

nml375 : Did you remember to delete your old userfile and create a new one after compiling with handlen=32? Thank-you for responding. I had not done that. I have done it now. So far none of my >9 char users has showed up to be experimented on. .seen still does not work on >9 char nicks though. I wi...

Hello, I am new to eggdrop. I have nicklen set to 32 in my conf and I recompiled to set handlen=32 also. I think that the recompilation must have worked, because before I did it the bot would truncate longer nicks to 9 chars, whereas now they seem to register properly (using .+user), and I can, for ...
