Making eggdrop 32 char instead of 9

Post by Gothic-Angel »

I added this line in the config, well uncommented it and set it to 32

set nick-len 32

However the bot still knows me as ^JustinTi when my nick is ^JustinTime^

Hi

You're talking about 2 different things. What you set to 32 chars is bot's nick, which means now he can use a nick up to 32 chars long.

And what you really want to change is hand-len, which you can find in ~/eggdrop1.6.x/src/eggdrop.h. Adjust it and recompile the bot.

Note that if you do that, and your bot is linked with other bots, they have to be recompiled with hand-len set to the same setting as yours if you wish to link them again.

First off, are you usign eggdrop on *nix or windows?

If you are on windows, simply download the appropriate version from http://windrop.sf.net/ - They allready have eggdrop setup for this.

If you are using eggdrop on *nix, it's a simple matter of changing one value, before you continue on your compilation.

TO make things simple, follow the instructions on THIS page. However, you need to do one things between items 5 and 6.

Simply follow step 5.
Now type "pico src/eggdrop.h". Edit the HANDLEN as noted above in this thread.
Hold down the CTRL keyboard key, and tap x, then tap Y and hit return.
Now you can follow the instructions from step 6 onwards.

NOTE: When you do this, you will no longer be able to link to other eggdrops, unless the other eggdrop has been compiled using the same value HANDLEN.

Does this also solve the problem with sharing user files? Im not interested in nickname lengths, just compatibilty to share user files and ban list.
