problems with NOTICEs in eggdrop 1.6.8

maximusXiV · Post by **maximusXiV** » Sun Feb 03, 2002 3:39 am

I'm using windrop on win2k server.

It seems the bot does not see any private or channel notices. Eg:
/notice botName blah, or
/notice #channel blah

We have a flooder that is exploiting this.
Is it me? Is there something I should set? I went trought the configs and cannot see any thing that would affect it.
Any help would be welcome.

All my bots see notices fine. Perhaps your problem is that you haven't scripted it to actually do anything when it detects these notices.

Petersen,
I don't see any notices.
Here is what I have done:

1) I have logged on to the bot as master
and sent a notice to the bot from an IRC client the console showed nothing.
(/notice bot blah blah)

2)I have joined console to a channel and messaged the channel from an IRC client. Still no visible effect in the bot.
(/notice #room blah blah).

I expected a visible feedback on the console. I should see the notice. Am I wrong on this?

maximus14, what are your console modes (.console)?

you need console mode +m to see private notices, and console mode +p to see public notices.

my console settings are mpjkcobxs
I have even tried this:

bind notc - "*" testNotc

proc testNotc {nick uhost hand text {dest ""}} {
global botnick; if {$dest == ""} {set dest $botnick}
putquick("privmsg myIRCnick :text is $text nick is $nick");
}

I'm only a beginner in TCL but to me this should msg me every notice to myIRCnick.

What else can I try?

no, cos putquick("privmsg myIRCnick :text is $text nick is $nick"); is wrong. should be
putquick "PRIVMSG myIRCnick :text is $text nick is $nick"

Thanks, for that hint with TCL.

OK, I found out why I cannot see NOTICES.
I had a capskick.tcl 1.1.8 by Paul Twang loaded. And alought I cannot see it binding notc this script stopped all notices from being processed. I unloaded it and I can see notices again.

I should have done it at fist. My apologies to the eggdrop coders. Nothing wrong with 1.6.8

Now, any recommendations for caps kick script. I tried Caps-Guard 2.4.0 but it seems buggy and not working properly.
