Changing bot's nick..

Probably a very simple thing you all will laugh at.. but I'll take the risk

Okay, I want my bot to have nick |Nick| or ^Nick^ or so.. But it wont start if I just edit it in config file.. (because of the special characters) So I tried to make a tcl to change it later..

Code: Select all

bind pub o !nick nick
proc nick { nick host hand chan text } {
putserv "NICK :$text"
 }

It works fine, but after few seconds the bot changes back.. Here's the info from partyline:

Code: Select all

<TrisBot> [00:17] Nickname changed to '|TrisBot|'???
<TrisBot> [00:17] Switching back to nick TrisBot

Any idea on how to use some special characters in the bot's nick?

Be shure you have keep-nick set to 0. Also, do a lil search on the forum about the nick and special characters.

If you have keep-nick 0, you could also type in eggdrop .dump nick new-nick
