Why do you assume the error is with the "#" char?
Try using your eyes and your brain and i'm sure you'll solve it once more. Also, why don't you post the solution here in case you forget it again..

The error msg say line 751 -> channel set #mychannel {

look at the examples included in the eggdrop.conf

Code: Select all

# Here is a shorter example:
#
#   channel add #botcentral {
#     chanmode "+mntisl 1"
#     idle-kick 1
#   }
#   channel set #botcentral +bitch +enforcebans -greet +revenge

I think that should help you

Thanks Turambar but i just have:

channel add #mychannel {
chanmode "+ntlikm"
idle-kick 0
}
channel set #mychannel

...and does not work.
Commenting these lines the error disappears, but the boot not join on channel.

Regards.

channel set #mychannel

That is you problem.

You are not specifying any options.

Javier · Post by **Javier** » Tue Jan 27, 2004 6:55 am

is the same with:

channel set #mychannel +bitch +enforcebans -greet +revenge

or anything

the error is on this line "channel add"

In which case, you are ommiting important details needed to help solve your problem, as that line seems to work fine here.

Just a silly solution but you could try commenting the channel add and channel set parts (disabling it at all ) and then add the channel and it's settings from the partyline..

one more thing when you add a chan with +k for key, you should also specify the key word
like this:

channel add #sweetchannel {
chanmode "+sntk nicekey"

hmm yeah the key for k and the userlimit for l

wasn't the limit auto set by the bot according to number of ppl in channel at a given time?

Turambar · Post by **Turambar** » Tue Jan 27, 2004 12:17 pm

no that's done via a script, if you set the chanmode +l x the bot is always going to keep the limit at x
