linking bots

Post by rain »

i'm new to eggdrop, & am having issues linking them. i have followed 2 different instructions, but they wont link, i either get, Link to myself? Oh boy, Freud would have a field day. or (botname) is not a known bot.

is it possible that (loadmodule transfer and loadmodule share) are not loaded properly? any help in this is greatly appreciated.


thank you

1st, are both bots you own eggdrops or do you try to link your eggie to a bot someone else installed? In this case make sure that your eggdrop is compiled with the same handle lenght.

You can find a good manual about linking eggdrops undder "enhancing your eggdrop" on this website.

this: "(botname) is not a known bot" sounds like you didn't add the other eggdrop as a bot but as a normal user (or vice versa).

At least, if this all didn#t help, join the partyline and paste the output about the failed linking here.

both bots are owned by me, i am actually tyrying to link 6 bots.
i added the bot as a bot, i followed the enhanced tutorial on this site exactly & it came out this way. i didnt compile these eggs, my friend did, as he knows how to compile, but thats as far as it goes.

its as simple as:

# hub
.+bot leaf hostname:port

# leaf
.+bot hub hostname:port
.botattr hub +h

where hub is the hub bot [ie the bot that every other bot connects to and leaf is the name of the bot u want to connect to the hub. repeat the #leaf step for each one of these.

be careful to set the hostnames and the port correctly when linking. look in the conf for that to see if your not messing up. [ie search for `listen' in the confs and check for the port used in `bots' or `all']

et voila.

Hm, if you followed the "enhancing your eggdrop" tutorial, than it should work :).

Just to make sure the share and transfer module are loaded on each bot, try a .modules at the partyline (of each bot).
Ask your friend if he compiled the bots with different handlegth. If so, it will be neccessary to recompile them with the same handlenght for each bot.
