Bot won't talk to channel. Period. (Updated with .conf file)

[Pikachu]

I'm probably overlooking something simple, but no matter what I do, the bot won't talk to the channel is sits in. the .say command won't do it a !help in the channel won't, nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

[YooHoo]

Make sure that the console module is loaded (just type .modules), then set your console to the channel.
.help console
.console #channelname +mobcxs

[]Kami[]

try

.msg #chan text

[Pikachu]

Tried the above with no success.

The console settings are mckobsx, and the modules loaded are:
uptime
wire
assoc
encryption
seen
console
notes
irc
ctcp
server
channels
dns
eggdrop

And the silly thing still won't put any text to the channel.

It only sits on one channel, and it does echo channel text in the telnet and dcc chat windows. I've pulled my hair out with this one, and can't find anything in the .conf file or elsewhere to explain it. No errors on startup, or in the logs. The channel mode +stn is applied. It is Eggdrop v1.6.15. This is driving me nucking futs.

Try this:

Code: Select all

bind pub -|- "!msg" pub:msg

proc pub:msg {nick uhost hand chan args} {
	set chan [lindex $args 0]
	set text [lindex $args 1]
putquick "PRIVMSG $chan $text"

} 

save like script, load it, and on chan type !msg #chan textm and you will see if it will work..

Code: Select all

bind pub -|- "!msg" pub:msg

proc pub:msg {nick uhost hand chan args} {
	set chan [lindex $args 0]
	set text [lindex $args 1]
putquick "PRIVMSG $chan $text"

} 

save like script, load it, and on chan type !msg #chan textm and you will see if it will work..

I tried that just now, saving it as testscript.tcl, and adding the line
source scripts/testscript.tcl
to the .conf file, did a .die and ./eggdrop <file>.conf, then !msg #<mychannel> <text>, but it still doesn't do a thing. It didn't echo the command in the telnet window either. Any other thoughts?

If you dont know what to do, reinstall eggdrop

[gumbydammit]

does it give you an error or anything when you .say ?
does you bot realize he is in fact in that channel? try .status what does the bot say for that channel?

[YooHoo]

Please add to your console +d, the use .say blahblahblah, copy all that and paste.

[Pikachu]

Ok, added debugging. Stil the same result. No errors, the bot responds in the telnet session that it "DCC said" to the channel, but no text shows up. If it will help, I can copy/paste the non-commented lines from the .conf file..... This is the second install of eggdrop, and it is in a fresh directory with a newly edited .conf file.

[]Kami[]

Hm...Copy your conf

[gumbydammit]

.status... and paste everything to do with that channel

[Pikachu]

This is the result of the .status.... The bot is on a local machine, if that helps.

The .conf file (commented lines edited out) is pasted below it.
