Alt-hub not linking

Tbone86 · Post by **Tbone86** » Sun Jan 25, 2004 6:36 pm

I have 3 bots setup currently.

Master
Hub1
Leaf

Hub1 connects to the Master and the Leaf connects to Hub1, when Hub1 goes down the Leaf does not connect to the Master even though i have it set as an ALT-hub in the leaf records it just trys to connect to Hub1 over and over again.

I have discovered that if i do a .link on the leaf or remove the "h" flag from the Hub1 entry it connects to the Master, so its setup correctly it just doesnt try to auto-connect to it, i have tryed recompiling the bot serveral times and its still not working, any help is appreciated.

only bot flag needed.

I had the master set as +agp on the leaf bot and it still wasnt working, i tryed your suggestion with just the "a" flag and its still just not wanting to connect.

I turned debug on the console and the only thing that happens is every minute it trys to connect to the Hub1, no kind of debug info about why it doesnt try the Master after connecting to Hub1 fails.

[Edit]
These are the flags for each bot.

Master
Hub1 bfoN
BOT FLAGS: gs

Leaf bfoN
BOT FLAGS: gs

Hub1
Master bfoN
BOT FLAGS: ghp

Leaf bfoN
BOT FLAGS: gs

Leaf
Hub1 bfoN
BOT FLAGS: ghp

Master bfoN
BOT FLAGS: agp

Ok so i just built another linux machine and setup my second leaf bot on there instead of where my Master and Hub1 is located.

It works, when the hub dies it connects to the master automatically.

So im stuck now, i geuss ill try reinstalling eggdrop completely and resetting everything up on the main machine again.

If anyone else has any suggestions ill be happy take them.

Just reinstalled eggdrop on my main machine and still having the same problem, the leaf bot is set correctly but when the Hub dies it does not try to connect the Master as an alt, just Hub1 over and over again.

Simply typing .link Master makes it connect right up and when i bring the Hub1 back online bots restructure themselves and all is well until the hub goes down again.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions anyone has.

Ok just got done rebooting, re-creating all my conf files from scratch along with the Bots of course. Took the netbots script out of play and still having the same crappy problem.

Im stuck on this one, if anyone else has any suggestion please help.
