The best way to figure out crash problems with modules is to use gdb.

First, make sure you compile eggdrop with debugguing enabled.

Then, when it crashes, you should have a core file in the bot's directory. Usually it's called core or core.pid. In that dir, type "gdb eggdrop core". It will tell you what code made the eggdrop crash.

And of course the obvious things: Are the necessary modules already loaded? What error message does it print when it crashes?

Try to change

#define MAKING_AWAY

to

#define MAKING_COCACOLA

and see if that makes it.

If I remember correctly, I had the same problem with my module in the beginning. I think it has todo with the function tables or something.

stdragon: Thanx for that debug tip, gona try it when I get home.
