Moving Windrop Setting to an Eggdrop on Shell

Weirdo · Post by **Weirdo** » Sat May 17, 2003 8:12 am

Just got a new shell, and am in the process of trying to figure out how to do everything again. What i wanted to know, is whether I can use the same eggdrop.conf, resolv.conf, *.chan, *.user files on an eggdrop i put on a shell? Or if there is a way of converting them?

First off, you don't need the resolve.conf. This file is a work around for limitations in the Windows OS.

Take a copy of the user, channel, notes and config file and them in a secure place on your puter. These are backups.

Second, upload co[pies to the shell.

Start the bot with these files in place (I have never migrated from windrop, so bare with me).

If it makes an error, then each file needs converting.

Re-upload the 4 files again (incase eggdrop corrupted them, safety measure).

Use the "dos2unix" command. EG "dos2user my.user.file"

Try starting the bot with these files now.

The above only applies if you are migrating from one version of windrop, to the save version of eggdrop.

I did that (only once) before without any Problem.
It might be neccessary to convert the config and userfiles (depends what kind of windows editor you used). In the bot.conf you'll probably have to change the ip and vhost. That's it than.

i used pfe32, make sure i save in unix format when i changed each one, might be ok.

Still love my windrops, only doing it to my main bot, the one whose scripts and settings are *perfect*

God knows i hate editing files from a unix text editor.

I loved PFE32 until I found out development had stopped.

Seeing how the buffer is unable to handle large files, I gave up there too.

Other programs are the same, and do not handle large files well, but they usualy take up less time and recourses to stop them when they do.

i didnt know pfe32 had that problem. Opens my Sim City data file (400mb+) pretty well, does suck up a lot o ram, didnt know it had buffer overflow problems. wow. Are there any other alternative nowdays? As the saving to unix format is really all i use it for. Opens everything, saves as everything in unix format.

good news

apart from the gseen script, and the various windrop scripts to help ident, and resolv. It works perfectly

got any good !seen scripts for eggdrops?

What was wrong with gseen

Didnt like the language files at all. Moved them onto the server, still didnt like them, even when dos2unix'd

So decided, stuff this, and got rid of it. Bseen loaded now

[18:52:22] <Minako> Hey Weirdo! My name is Minako and I am running eggdrop v1.6.15, on Linux 2.4.18-bf2.4.

[15:20:15] <Natsuki-Chan> Hey Weirdo My name is Natsuki-Chan and I am running eggdrop v1.6.13, on CYGWIN_NT-5.1 1.3.22(0.78/3/2).

I wish the Windrop 1.6.15 was stable. Keeps giving socket errors on win2k. But its a sight thats going to take me a while to get used to. the linux instead of CYGWin

Tell ya one thing, now it doesnt have to run through the emulator dlls, response time is a lot faster, less than 1 second lag for most triggers, compaired to 3 secs on windrops

i use bseen on my bots, but they are all running on *nix now, thanks beastie and Tux

.
If you want to edit config files on win, get ultraedit.

i use wordpad to edit de files in window,
also i switched from windrop to eggdrop the only thing what i did was compiled a new eggdrop in the shell and copied the complete script folder/dir and and copied the .conf file edit the path to eggdrop and the last part of the ident.
Copied the chan and user file and started the bot and it works without any probs

Edited in Wordpad?

Didnt you have to make it unix compatiable before you moved it?

TRaSH · Post by **TRaSH** » Mon May 19, 2003 7:51 am

No i didn't,
didn't even know i had to,
but it worked and is running already for 3 weeks without problems,
exept for that problem where your're writing a script for

The only thing i needed todo was compile a new eggdrop in the unix shell,
and then i copied all scripts and user/channel and config file to the unix shell.
and edit the path to the eggdrop on the unix shell.
