hey guys, how can i stop my bot from automatically sending a message saying "welcome to the channel" (something along those lines) when a user joins the channel each time?? i want it to completely stop for every single channel, thanks.

You have a script running somewhere that is doing welcome to the channel. Find it remove it and .restart your bot. Eggdrop does not do that by default.

Whilst on your bots partyline type

Code: Select all

.binds

look for a join bind and see what the procedure it is calling. That should help you locate it a little easier.

you can safely delete all the lines in the script that say puthelp "NOTICE $nick :\037Welcome to $chan $nick !!!"

A good bot should have the least number of scripts. Remember only load scripts which your REALLY NEED and which your REALLY USE. There is no point in loading 20 tcls, out of which you use 5, because the extra one just eat the bot up, would make it slow and saturate its memory and would be redundant.

you can safely delete all the lines in the script that say puthelp "NOTICE $nick :\037Welcome to $chan $nick !!!"

Or you can just comment out the line which has the puthelp NOTICE thing in it, by adding an "#" infront of it. So the bot would ignore that line as a comment and would carry on with the procedure after that line.
