Hey all, couple authserv & command questions

Chris · Post by **Chris** » Wed Oct 29, 2003 1:06 pm

I've used the search feature and checked google for a couple of days but I can't seem to figure this out. I have an extra account setup on authserv for my bot on gamesnet. For some reason, I just can't get the bot to auth. I've tried both this:

set init-server {
putserv "MODE $botnick +i-ws"
putserv "PRIVMSG AuthServ@Services.GamesNET.Net :auth <handle> <password>"
}

and a couple of scripts from the tcl archive. I was wondering, could it be because the cookie was originally from a different host then the one the bot is running on now? Is there a way I can re-register from the shell / IP that the bot is using? I tried the register-authserv script from the tcl archive and that didn't seem to be working (bug in the script, something about variables). Can I issue standard mIRC commands from the telnet bot and just manually instruct the bot to register? I will have to try to register from the init-server in the conf file, anyone know the command for that? (Sorry, there are like 40 questions here in one).

Also, on a less important note, does anyone know the tcl script or the script that people use that has a trivia which starts with !trivia and ends with !strivia? That's my favorite one from IRC that I've seen but I cannot find it anywhere online to use/download.

Thanks in advance to any help.

if you're using eggdrop 1.6.15 , then set init-server won't work. There's a proc for init-server in which you should add your line.

I'm sure you can find lots of script for auth other than the one you're using, or you can configure an other-service script to suite your server's services.

Here's the exact coding I'm using now for 1.6:

proc evnt:init_server {type} {
global botnick
putquick "MODE $botnick +i-ws"
putquick "PRIVMSG AuthServ@Services.GamesNET.Net :auth <account> <password>"
}

The <account> <password> is obviously replaced with an extra account I had created for the bot. This is what doesn't seem to work.

Ha! Found it. I hadn't set the mask for the account I was using since I made it from my computer but eggdrop is running on another IP. Sweet, it works
