illegal channel option: # while executing eggdrop

[scuzzman]

I'm running (or trying to) eggdrop and having a few problems with the configuration. What I'm trying to do is set up a small channel, basically just to see if I can, but I'm running into a few problems.
First off, this information might help a bit:

O/S: Slackware Linux 10.0
Platform: x86
eggdrop version: 1.6.15
kernel: 2.6.9
tcl version: 8.3

Now that that's out of the way, my errors are these:

Code: Select all

      exempt-time..."
    (file "eggdrop.conf" line 762)
[18:27] * CONFIG FILE NOT LOADED (NOT FOUND, OR ERROR)

And the relevant parts in eggdrop.conf are here:

Code: Select all

    channel add #Fishtank {
      chanmode "+nts-imk"
      idle-kick 0
      stopnethack-mode 0
      revenge-mode 0
      ban-time 600
      exempt-time 60
      invite-time 60
      aop-delay 5:30
      flood-chan 10:60
      flood-deop 3:10
      flood-kick 3:10
      flood-join 5:60
      flood-ctcp 3:60
      flood-nick 5:60
    }

I didn't see another line that needed uncommented (tricky way to get people to read the config though ), and a search of this forum turned up only 2 useless results. If anyone else has any ideas, I'm more than willing to try them. Thanks.

Try this .....

Code: Select all

channel add #Fishtank {
  chanmode "+nts-imk"
  idle-kick 0
  stopnethack-mode 5
  revenge-mode 0
  aop-delay 5:30
  need-op { }
  need-invite { }
  need-key { }
  need-unban { }
  need-limit { }
  flood-chan 15:60
  flood-deop 3:10
  flood-kick 3:10
  flood-join 6:20
  flood-ctcp 5:20
  flood-nick 6:20
}

And...

Code: Select all

# The following settings are used as default values when you .+chan #chan or .tcl
# channel add #chan. Look in the section below for explanation of every option

set global-flood-chan 15:60
set global-flood-deop 3:10
set global-flood-kick 3:10
set global-flood-join 6:20
set global-flood-ctcp 5:20
set global-flood-nick 6:20
set global-aop-delay 5:30
set global-idle-kick 0
set global-chanmode "nt"
set global-stopnethack-mode 0
set global-revenge-mode 0
set global-ban-time 120
set global-exempt-time 60
set global-invite-time 60

The following is causing your error:

Code: Select all

ban-time 600 
exempt-time 60 
invite-time 60 

Read the '##### CHANNELS MODULE #####' section more carefully.

I've seen this error before on my own bots when i attempted to use the channel option -protecthalfops or -autohalfop on eggdrop 1.6.13, which didn't come with those channel options... what does the rest of your channel options look like...?
