using psybnc scripts

tami · Post by **tami** » Tue Mar 18, 2003 10:39 pm

hi,

i have an issue routing my eggdrop through a psybnc. i have tried 2 TCLs (one from this archive: mc_psybnc, and another i found off the web, irco-psybnc) and neither work for me. i have admin rights to the bouncer but don't actually see identification attempts. i DO, however, see connection attempts...

it stops on the identify screen...

-chanserv- please identify!

and then it doesn't seem to do anything....

if it helps, i use mirc on my regular nick and i can't do on... perform /quote pass PASSWORD ... something with bouncer config.

so am i wasting my time, or is this possible?

thanks.

btw this is the script on one of them that failed..:

# Set this for the psybnc HOSTNAME or IP
set x.x.x.x:6667

# Your psybnc password
set psybnc_pass "password"

# Don't edit anything below unless you know what you're doing

bind notc - "please identify!" psybnc

proc psybnc {nick uhost hand arg} {
global psybnc_pass
putserv "PASS $psybnc_pass"
}

i don't understand why it wouldn't work.... everything looks right

the error is in this line probably

Code: Select all

proc psybnc {nick uhost hand arg} {

it is missing an argument, make it:

Code: Select all

proc psybnc {nick uhost hand arg {dest ""}} {

and try again

There has been three simalar reports within the last month, in regards to PSYBNC.

While not the same issues, it is more than likely caused by the same root problem.

There seems to be a issues within PSYBNC, causing messages to be mangled. This breaks eggdrop, and there is no real way to fix it, other than fixing PSYBNC, or not using the BNC

hi ppslim,

thanks for your help. do you know exactly where the problem would be in psybnc?

Not at this current time.

At this time, it has not been proven that the issue is in eggdrop, or in psybnc. However, it has been prvoen that removing the psybnc connection from the equasion, solves the issues.

THis means that psybnc is sending malformed information to the bot, or eggdrop isn't parsing it correctly. Once psybnc is removed, all seems to operate fine in all the previously reported cases, leaving psybnc at blame.

ah that's upsetting... my only concern for using a bnc at the moment is to hide my hostmask.

oh well..

thanks for your assistance!
