New to EggDrop

[Stium]

Hey guys,

I'm new to the eggdrop world. I've always used mIRC and mIRC scripts for my bot needs but got sick of running the bot on my home computers so I moved it to my dedicated server which runs linux so I decided to try out the eggdrop bot everyone tells me so much about.

Alright first set of questions.

How to do I get my bot to auth on gamesurge?
I figured out how to install and setup scripts but how do I make auto repliers like for @updates so it would check my site for updates and such.

I dunno, I'm sure I'm going to have a ton of questions but I'll start with just getting it authed on gamesurge.

Thank you

Stium

I've got the auth thing figured out.

I'm now writing a script for checking my website for updates.

Help is needed. Reply please!

For a new eggdrop owner, the finest resource you could possibly find is located within every eggdrop's ~/doc directory... detailed text files on darn near every aspect of eggdropology.
As with most postings from eggdrop n00bies, this one also could have been solved simply by reading the links provided on the homepage, such as Setting Up Your Eggdrop, Using Your Eggdrop, and Enhancing Your Eggdrop. Chew on some of that to get you started. One point to make about "auth"ing to your nickserv. Use the init-server setting to set your bot's initial contact and modes.... For example:

Code: Select all

set init-server {
  putserv "MODE $mybotnick +i-swx
  putserv "PRIVMSG NickServ : identify $mypassword $mybotnick"
}

Hope this helps

You'll find the following bind in eggdrop.conf.

Code: Select all

# This is a Tcl script to be run immediately after connecting to a server.
bind evnt - init-server evnt:init_server

proc evnt:init_server {type} {
  global botnick
  putquick "MODE $botnick +i-ws"
}

Add this before the closing end brace:

Code: Select all

putserv "PRIVMSG NickServ :identify $botnick <password>"

The above format is for DALnet's NickServ where the nick is optional and not used on most other networks.

I think you have already been helped with the authorizing by now.
For the other 'update' thing you mentioned have a look at this previous thread.
