[SOLVED] Seen command

[Landslyde]

I have eggdrop 1.6.21 installed and it seems to be running nicely. However, the seen command only works in DCC chat window with the bot. Shldn't it also work in the main channel for regular users too? Just wondering. In DCC chat with my bot, I've tried:

( MyNick ) .set #MyChannel +seen
( BotNick ) [23:27:18] #MyNick# set #MyChannel +seen
( BotNick ) Ok, set.

In my .conf file, I have this:

channel set #MyChannel +seen

Am I doing this right? I ask because when I get my .chaninfo in the DCC window with the bot, it shows '-seen'. Why is not being set? And this goes for anything I try to change/set. Nothing works. Nothing changes.

Thanks for your help.

( MyNick ) .set #MyChannel +seen
( BotNick ) [23:27:18] #MyNick# set #MyChannel +seen
( BotNick ) Ok, set.

I suspect that you are referring to the seen module that comes with eggdrop. Is this correct?
If so, visit: http://eggwiki.org/Eggdrop.conf#Seen
and find:
# This module provides very basic seen commands via msg, on channel or via dcc.
and read that section.

Then consider: You asked if it should work for regular users. Are those users also in the bot's userlist?

In my .conf file, I have this:

channel set #MyChannel +seen

Where? ... I'm not finding anything like that in the example eggdrop.conf .

Is the seen module loaded?

And this goes for anything I try to change/set. Nothing works. Nothing changes.

Nothing? meaning that none of the other channel settings can be changed?

Long ago, I played around with various seen scripts.
Eggdrop's built in seen module is rudimentary. It even says so, right in the default eggdrop.conf.

I found that I liked two. ( One is not a script, it is a module. )


Here:
http://www.kreativrauschen.com/eggdrop.php
you can find the gseen module.


Here:
http://www.egghelp.org/tclhtml/3478-4-0-0-1-bseen.htm
you can find Bass's Bseen script.


I suggest you try them one at a time, to be able to decide which you like best.

I hope this helps.

I was just trying this, something that looked like it might work.

And this goes for anything I try to change/set. Nothing works. Nothing changes.

None of my commands work. I can DCC the bot and he responds. He will show me .chaninfo and other things like that, but he won't let me make any settings for my channel.

It did. I got Bass's script and it works like a charm =)
Thank you for your help, willyw. Do appreciate you.

Here is a copy/paste from my DCC window with my bot where I tried to change the revenge-mode setting:

Code: Select all

And here is where I tried to change the channel to +bitch mode:

I guess I'm doing something wrong, but I don't know what it wld be. Any insight to this issue wld be appreciated.

Thanks.

First, do:
.help set
and read the return.

Next, do:
.help chanset
and read the return.

Sorry - I overlooked it in your earlier posts.
You were using the wrong command. You were setting the value of a variable.

Next, go here:
http://www.egghelp.org/commands/channels.htm#chanset
to get a nice, easy to read explanation of the chanset command.

(By the way, I think you are doing a good thing, by checking again with .chaninfo , right after making a change. Can't hurt. It is good to be sure. I assume this is how you found your problem. )

By now, as you've read this, you've probably tried it, and have it figured out.

Now visit:
http://www.egghelp.org/commands/index.htm
and perhaps bookmark it.
It is very helpful.
So is the bot's built in command, .help . I still use it all the time.

Have fun with your bot.

willyw: I am back here because I just figured it out and wanted to let my "discovery" be known. By sheer luck, I found the usage of ".chanset" in another protection script, one I downloaded to use in place of the factory-installed eggdrop prot. Funny how I stood on the other side of the plate and hit a homerun =) lol

Thanks for your help, willyw. I'm absorbing it like a thirsty sponge!
