Hide And Seek

My bot has worked fine untill yesterday..

I start it and there's no errors, But the bot never shows in the channel,Don't even think it connects to the server.

I check my logs and there's nothen funny there,
The servers I've check and they seem ok.

What else could this be?

Thanks

While the servers may seem OK, this is not allways the case.

While you may be able to connect from your machine to the server, the machine theggdrop is on, may not. That, or the server may not allow connections from the machine the ggdrop is running on.

You can start eggdrop using the -n argument, to see what is happening at start time.

For the first time (without userfile) use
./eggdrop -mn config.file.name

otherwise use
./eggdrop .n config.file.name

you may want to check:

Code: Select all

# What is your network?
#   0 = EFnet (non +e/+I hybrid)
#   1 = IRCnet
#   2 = Undernet
#   3 = DALnet
#   4 = EFnet +e/+I hybrid
#   5 = Others
set net-type 5

in your .conf file, if you have it set to the wrong type it wont connect to the server, from what ive seen anyway.

This is not true.

This setting is used, to setup certain aspects of the way eggdrop works inside.

It has no effect on connecting to a server, as all these networks, sue the IRC protocol.

ahh, well the last time i played with the net-type the bot didnt turn up, probably some other reason then
