Changing Servers

Post by A^Wolf »

IrCQNet had a netsplit several hours ago.One of my eggdrop bots is on a seperate server.How can i get it to leave that server and get onto one of the servers that are still networked?

either in dcc chat or telnet do a "jump command"

.jump <--- use this only if you have multiple servers in your "set servers list"

or if you know a server thats working

.jump irc.whatever.net

some irc nets allow you to type /links which will give you a list of all thier irc servers on that network. You can maybe grab another working one from there for the bot.

Or have bot itself decide if to jump or not. Here is a quote from .conf file. I asume you *did* read config file (>:>) but this escaped your eye.

# If the number of servers on the net gets below this number, the bot
# will jump to a new server (it will assume it's on the losing end of
# a netsplit). Set this to 0 to turn off. If your bot is running on
# any major IRC network, this should probably be turned off.
Ignorant and lazy people will save 30 minutes by chosing simple config file. Smart ones will save 3000 minutes of *everyone's* time by opting for complete config file.

Right now ircqnet is so messed up there is not a lot you can do. /links doesn;t help a whole lot because their specific servers refuse connections.. the only way to connect to that server right now is with irc.icq.com and that just picks you a random one.. so your best bet is to keep jumping your bot and hope for the best...
