ctcp question

Post by Erik »

hello,

i like to change the answer a bot sends if you ask ctcp version and that things the eggdrop.conf file says
# Set here how the ctcp module should answer ctcps. There are 3 possible
# operating modes:
# 0: Normal behavior is used.
# 1: The bot ignores all ctcps, except for CHAT and PING requests
# by users with the +o flag.
# 2: Normal behavior is used, however the bot will not answer more
# than X ctcps in Y seconds (defined by 'set flood-ctcp').
set ctcp-mode 1

# There are also several variables to help make your bot less noticeable.
# They are: ctcp-version, ctcp-finger, and ctcp-userinfo. You can use set to set
# them to values you'd like.
but i have no idea what the hell "set" is ?
i'd like to change it cause some ircoperators do not like bots i mean i always read the "/motd" of the irc server my bots are on it says "we allow non abusive bots" but some ops think they are god and ....

so how to change it ?

ciao !

Just set ctcp-mode 2 and then, make a tcl wich bind the ctcp version.
You can find random version in the tcl archives, use it :)

So, you're saying your bots are abusive?
As long as your bots don't do overly noticeable abusive things, opers are fine with that.

But anyways, search for setctcp.tcl, it makes your thing easier. Or else follow gumby.
