Is it possible to change the nick of an eggdrop while it is running?

I've tried the following:

01:59 <Jukebox> .dump nick Foxy-chen
01:59 <Foxy16> [01:59] #Admin# dump nick Foxy-chen
01:59 <Foxy16> [01:59] Nickname changed to 'Foxy-chen'???
01:59 <Foxy16> [01:59] Switching back to nick Foxy16
01:59 -!- Irssi: =Foxy16 is now known as =Foxy-chen
01:59 <Foxy-chen> [01:59] Regained nickname 'Foxy16'.
01:59 -!- Irssi: =Foxy-chen is now known as =Foxy16

And as you can see that didnt work.. I also tried this:

Code: Select all

02:00 <Jukebox> .set username Foxy-chen
02:00 <Foxy16> What?  You need '.help'

And that didnt work either as you can see..

Anyone have an idea?

Thanks,
Jukebox

the set command is unbinded by default in the conf file... so to use it simply comment the unbind line... Your bot keeps changing back because it has set keep-nick on... so you want to be able to change it from partyline without it changing back turn this off

aaaah.. thanks! Guess I should have read the config-file more carefully, eh? ;)

Now it works
