Autoop works but "/msg botnick op" doesn't

[Slicer121]

Hi! I am new to this eggdrop-business so I need some help.
I have read the docs but it doesn't cover my problem.

I am unable to get my bot to op me using the /msg BotNick OP command. AutoOp works fine, but I do noe want to use it.

I get no reply in the channel, but the party-line says !*! failed OP

Can someone please help?

You have to use the password as well. I am not sure of the correct syntax see the help files, it is something like:

/msg bot op #chan <your.dcc.pass>

The commands availiable are like: op, deop etc.

3 possible reasons: you didn't provide your password, it was incorrect, or the bot doesn't recognize you

you should make sure the bot recognizes you by identifying first:

Code: Select all

/msg botnick IDENT <password> [handle]

(you need to supply handle only if your bothandle is different from your current IRC nick)

then get ops with:

Code: Select all

/msg botnick OP <password> [#channel]

(if you don't supply #channel, the bot will op you on all channels it has ops on)

Thanks for the tips. But: I tried all of the above without success.
Is it possible that this is a firewall issue?

I know for a fact that I cannot connect with DCC chat, beacause of my firewall. But i thought that I perhaps didn't need DCC chat....

Is it possible that this is a firewall issue?

no, it's neither a firewall nor a bot issue

it's an issue of yourself; apparently you are unable to identify to the bot (or/and request ops properly), hence the "failed OP" log message

if you want further help, follow the exact steps from my previous posting and paste the bot's log here

...and verify that you have the identify command (IDENT) available by typing .binds msg on party line

When I try

Code: Select all

/msg botnick IDENT <password> [handle] 

this is what the partyline says:

Code: Select all

[21:17] [CP|Slicer!CP_Slicer@ti132110a080-1466.bb.online.no] IDENT mypassword CP|Slicer

...and when I try

Code: Select all

/msg tubben OP mypassword #mychannel

is says

Code: Select all

[21:19] (CP|Slicer!CP_Slicer@ti132110a080-1466.bb.online.no) !*! failed OP

My .binds msg command replies with:

Code: Select all

.binds msg
[21:16] #CP|Slicer# binds msg
Command bindings:
  TYPE FLGS     COMMAND              HITS BINDING (TCL)
  msg  -|-      icq                     0 msg_setuserinfo
  msg  -|-      phone                   0 msg_setuserinfo
  msg  -|-      dob                     0 msg_setuserinfo

  msg  -|-      gf                      0 msg_setuserinfo
  msg  -|-      bf                      0 msg_setuserinfo
  msg  -|-      url                     0 msg_setuserinfo

No IDENT there....

[demond]

so, you should have already guessed what to do next

edit your config and remove that line:

Code: Select all

unbind msg - ident *msg:ident

This was just freaking great!! Thank you so much for your help!

It works like a charm now.
