If it doesn't work, make sure you enabled module ctcp on your bot, comment the add channel part out (disable it ), run the bot and when it's on IRC (either /whois botnick untill you get a reply or add it to your notify list so you'll be notified when it has arrived ) and when it's on IRC assuming you haven't introduced yourself to it yet, type in your mIRC status window (or whatever IRC client you use )
/msg botnick hello
or any other word you binded instead of hello if you were smart enough
bot then will greet you and tell you you're it's owner
next you have to set a password
/msg botnick pass thepasswordyouwant
you should now be set to move on. Type:
/ctcp botnick chat
the bot then should contact you and ask for your name (enter your IRC name exactly as it shows on IRC at the moment, cause this is how you introduced yourself to it)
next the bot asks for your password
enter the password you set for yourself a minute ago
you should be then in the partyline and from there you can add your channels and set all other settings you want
type .help in the partyline to see all avaiable help commands
SPOILER
replace botnick with your bot's handle
good luck
