making a new user

noob · Post by **noob** » Tue Nov 27, 2001 11:14 pm

i read the readme about 2000 times, and still cant figure this out. it says i have to type /msg NorsuBot hello, so the bot will recognize me. but the irc just says "no such nick/channel", so what should i do??
i've configured the norsu.conf file, and IVE READ THE README.

thank you.

You have to wait until the bot can get onto irc before you can send it a message.

An alternative is to telnet into the bot, like the message says, and type "new" as your login.

how long it will take from the bot to get to IRC? its been like half an hour now?

Well if it aint on now, it aint likely to ever get online.

Try adding more servers to the server list.

when you first start it try using ./eggdrop -mnt CONF.FILE then watch what the bots does, and see why it doesnt get online

STARTING BOT IN USERFILE CREATION MODE.
telnet to the bot blahblahblah
OR
go to irc blahblah blah

[18:52] === NorsuBot: 2 channels, 0 users.

If you Start bot with -n option it gives a read out like a log
Ex.

sniperac@Sniper:~/eggdrop > eggdrop -n eggdrop.conf

if it sys an error like reconnecting, ping time out, or baned too meny ip connections post it.....

i tried to start it up with -n and it said:

USER FILE NOT FOUND!

so i guess i have to create a new user. how do i exactly do that?

uh well it says that go to IRC and type msg NorsuBot hello, but the irc says "no such nick/channel", so obviously my bot is not connecting to the irc server, even tho it says like this in my .conf:

set servers {
irc.dmusic.com:6667
}

oh man i feel like im the dumbest guy in this forum.

use the option -mnt to start the bot, not just -m or -n, and be HQ in the partyline while it tries to get on the server.

well.. first make sure you're not getting any errors when you start the bot. if you do, then fist fix those. if not, proceed to seeing if the bot is on irc (/whois nick, /whois alternatenick). as i gather, this is where you're lost now...

what i'd do first is telnet to the bot and do .stats, but you could also try connecting to that irc server with BitchX or whatever irc client you have on your shell and see if you can connect there at all... if not, change the irc server in your conf file to something you can actually connect to. i hope i've helped!

ok i think i get it now...one more stupid question. how do i telnet to the bot? do i just type telnet my-own-ip or what?

telnet yourbotip theportyouhavesetinyourconfigfile

the port is set with the listen line in the botnet section.
if you have only 1 listen line, use the port you have set there, either use the one for user

sniperac@Sniper:~ > telnet (localhost) (3333)

In linux it looks like this ^^

If you are running bot from the cpu you are telneting from keep local host.. If not replace it with the bots "ip"..

3333 is the defalt port as I understand.. If not go to your ".conf" file and find what port its listioning on..

c:Windows> telnet <Bots ip> (3333)

If you are in Windows most likely Your not going to telnet into "localhost" unless you are use`n` a "windrop" bot.. Replace as told above
