Bot not auto opping owner (ME!)

[wolftech]

I have installed and gone through all the config. It has recognized me as the owner but whenever I sent the /msg botnick op <pass> It shows up in a msg window for the bot but nothing happens except the display of my message. Why would that be? How do I get it to op me as the owner? I have the owner info set in the config to my nick everywhere it said it needed it. It is not messaging me when a new user joins either.

You might have a script which interferes with it

Like what? Maybe a "for instance", that could help me out a lot.

Thanks.

As with EVERY thread that mentions auto-op'ing, I will first remind you that it is highly unsecure, and thusly NOT recommended. Please read this FAQ for more info.

Console to your channel i.e. .console #mychan +mkobcxs.
In the partyline, type .channel. Does the bot recognize you as the owner in the channel with your current hostmask? For more info on hostmasks, read FAQ #10.

As far as I know, eggdrop does not have this function "built-in", so to speak. Do you have a tcl script that is supposed to perform this function already, or are you hoping for a hand in that area as well? Seems a simple enough function at any rate, something like this might be sufficient perhaps for you to alter to your liking...?

Code: Select all

set notifychan "#myhomechan"
bind join - * join:notifyme

proc join:notifyme { nick uhost hand chan } {
 global botnick notifychan
   putlog "$nick ! $uhost ($hand) has joined $notifychan!"
   putmsg $notifychan "Hiya $nick!  About damn time you showed up!"
}

hmm i think he probably meant "notify-newusers" in the conf.. and i did not see him mention autoops at all.. but ya, read what yoohoo said about hostmasks and how to check if you are recognized.. that seems to be your problem

Ok, I don't think I was very clear...I was referring One, the bot recognizing me and ONLY opping me when I join. If what you provided above is along those lines then cool, otherwise this is what I was trying to say. Thanks.

k, i thought i was misunderstanding u. If you have your nick set as the value for the conf file variable set owner "YourNick", then by all means use it ALL conf file variables may also be considered as global variables, since the conf file is nothing more than the "main" tcl script, so alter your script to use if { $nick != $owner } {return 0}

Thanks. However, I DID go through "Setting Up Your Eggdrop" VERY carefully...and my nick IS set as the owner...that is why I didn't understand why it wasn't opping me when I join. Don't know if I am just missing something or something is just not set/working right.
