downloading complete, now for running

Post by IsmAvatar »

Is there a version of eggbot that can be used in Win98? I downloaded the one from egghead, but the files were all screwy, obviously unix or linux.

None of the files where screwey.

This is the source code, from which every application/software is created. It all starts as a set of programmer entered instructions, then compiled by a computer, to be machine readable.

Text files can be read on linux/unixc or windows, there is no differance.

If there where, then Open Source linux, and the ability to increase the desktop user uptake of linux, would be a no go, as you could not use files from each of the systems on each other.

Eggdrop and windrop are one and the same. Windrop gets it's name, form the simple fact, it's easier to call it that, and we know what OS it's on.

They are both created from the very same files, and mostly require no changes what so ever, apart from you have to compile it.

This compilation process applies both to unix.linux and windows. In most cases *nix comes with developer utilities to do this compilation as standarrd, but can be downloaded and insatlled without fuss. Windows does nto come with this as standard, and in the msot point can't be simply downloaded and used.

However, the environment in which windorp compiles is freely available.

To save time however, the good people over at windrop central, have pre-compiled versions for you to use. While you never realy use pre-comoiled software from a opensource enviroment, where it is not the original developers doing the compilation, due to the fact, extra backdoors could be added, I would recomend these versions.

They are the only site I will recomend. While most other sites obtain there copies from there, you just can't tell.

This long winded post could have been avoided, had you done a simple search on the forum. This has been answered time and time again.

See the FAQ's on http://windrop.sf.net/ - They include information on obtaining a compiler.

challenging

Post by IsmAvatar »

I don't mean to sound like a pessimist, but this seems to be the most puzzling project i've ever done. I got a windrop, since just the normal eggdrop did not seem to be working. there are now files that make more sence, however, when i run the bot, i keep running into errors about the configuration not being set correction or possible errors.
right now, i know what your thinking, did i dare to edit the stats.conf file, because that has caches in it. YES! i edited that. I simply wish to have a trivia bot. Yes, a trivia bot. I was hoping it wouldn't be this complicated. I got a moxquizz bot upgrade, which has the trivia files required, but after all this editing and following appropriate procedure and everything looks like a mess. So what i ask right now is how to get this bot working.

You get this error, because of module load order issues.

A script is trying to add a bind type, that doesn't exist, until the module that provides it is loaded. Revise you script load time.

All scripts should be loaded at the base of the config file, so that all modules are pre-loaded first.

ANother thing that puzzles me.

You state you are using the stats.conf file. This sounds rather incorrect. The documentations states to use advanced.eggdrop.conf, complete.eggdrop.conmf or simple.,eggdrop.conf for versions upto and including 1.6.12 and just eggdrop.conf for 1.6.13 upwards.

This stats.conf file, is likely to be a addon, that is designed to configure a stats module. This is all it will do. It will not configure the bot for you.

THere is a wonderful guide, of exactly how to configure an eggdrop/windrop on http://www.egghelp.org/ - Please follow this, as it sounds as if you are jumping into the pool, without testing to see if there is any water.

It still sounds as if you havn't read any other word spoken to you on the forum. You ask for help, then you seem to simply ignore the information provided.

Windrop is exactly the same as eggdrop. It gets it's name, because it is running on wundows.

It uses exactly the same code as normal eggdrop, without a single change. http://windrop.sf.net/ will explain a very simalr compilation process to that on http://www.egghelp.org/ which is designed for *nix systems.

The eggdrop code works fine. However, it needs compiling to operate, just like any other program. A windrop, is simply, pre-compiled by some1 else, to solve your problems.

Please do read the guides, the included documentation and any items posted to you fully. You may not understand half of it, but you should never stop when you reach a point you don't understand, as you will simply miss important information. On top of this, it's a sure sign that you don't deserve help. Those that refuse to help themselves, don't deserve help from any1else.

alright, you know what, I didn't come here to be yelled or or get confused by words, I just wanted to make a trivia bot for IRC and eggdrop is the only bot that has survived. But since it seems so difficult, I am forced to abandon my dream. I hope your happy, because I most certainly am not.

More like I don't care.

I didn't yell, I simply stated facts.

In previous posts to the thread, I posted information, and links on where to obtain more.

MOst of the informatiopn provided, and some fo the information in the links, will be complicated to new users, but there should be more than ehough, for them to get a grasp, on why things don't work, why things do, and so on.

Then a second post by yoruself, simply does on to say the same old thing.

Most people will see this as lazyness, as the information is available, has been available, allways will be available. My message was more to make you think abotu reading tyhe stuff, instead of askign us to read it and paste it for you.

It comes with the teritory. If you want help from a human, expect a human reaction. You are but 1 drain of sand on a beach. We have to deal with just under 100 questions per week. WIthin this, we have to ask for more information, research inhformation, and a whole lot of stuff, to help every person here. Because fo this, we can't do everything, simply because, we are not infront of your computer screen, we can't see the error messages, we can't stop our private lives, because you have a problem,.

We need help from you as well. Both to provide the information we request, information needed to help and to help yourselves, when information is provided.

It usualy saves time, effort and a whole lot of attitude. Just so ya know, the yelling was brought about by yourself, just think abotu that one.

Abandon all your wish. Roem was not built in a day, houses are not built overnight and a whole lot of stuff isn't ever as simple as you think.

Most people, try and try again, when stuff fails. You obviously think "It doesn't work the way I want it to, so I don't care for it."
