Is that another server, meaning another network? or another server on the same network from where it recognizes you?

another network completely.

If you nick is set as owner in the .conf file, under the variable $owner, and you have a 'n' flag with the bot, I don't think if you would type in DCC:

.jump another.server.domain.com:port

It should work and accept you as a owner. If on connect it wouldn't recognize you? then. Access has nothing todo with servers, however if that network uses another ircd, you would want to change the net-type in the .conf file before proceeding to jump to another network as different ircd's have different settings. But if even the ircd's are same I say it should definately work!

Yeah i've tried it but doesnt seem to be working. I've tried adding a new hostmask aswell on the server where it works for the server where im connecting to where it doesnt, but that didnt seem to help.

Does the other network have the user mode -/+x? If so, set your mode -x i.e. /mode <nick> -x

Also have you set the correct net-type in your config for the new server?

what do you mean by net-type?

# What is your network?
# 0 = EFnet
# 1 = IRCnet
# 2 = Undernet
# 3 = DALnet
# 4 = +e/+I/max-modes 20 Hybrid
# 5 = Others
set net-type 0

well thats what i have. Where my bot working fine is Starlink, where it's not is Austnet.

Starlink most likley uses the same IRCd as Efnet or has the same features, which is why your bot works fine on starlink. Austnet may use a completely different type of IRCd.

IF you READ your config file properly you would of realised that your bot wasnt on Efnet so why is it set on net-type 0?

net-type 5 is a user configured setting for networks not listed and you should setup all the net-type 5 settings in the config..

RTFM, the key to life

Nope, have another guess. LOL

Austnet uses user mode +/-x

It appears you have not done any reading prior to posting a query.

Anyway, from memory, setting net-type 3 should work well for Austnet .

Ahh if its not a problem with the bots it must be that faithful and timeless bug that never seems to go away, You know, the one between the keyboard and the chair

just a quick question .......if i wanna run two bots on the same pc .....is it as simple as just having two seperate eggdrop installations? or no?

Alchera · Post by **Alchera** » Thu Feb 03, 2005 12:26 am

It's as simple as using two separate configuration files (botnick1.conf & botnick2.conf) from the same eggdrop/Windrop folder. They also may share the same TCL scripts (so no doubling up).
