Trying to make a "clanbot"

Neomaster · Post by **Neomaster** » Wed Feb 09, 2005 1:30 am

I would like to start programming my own clanbot (to offer the service to many channels).

I use eggdrop 1.6.17 with mysqltcl.

One of my main question, is it possible to run the bot multiple time from one installation?

Like, get the bots Neobot[1] to Neobot[10] from one single installation / config script?

Also, is it possible to make the bot fetch the channels to perform in a mysql database?

Let say I have the table "channels_perform" which has the field "Bot_id" and "Channel"

Bot_Id - Channel
1 - #something
1 - #somethingelse
2- #else

Is it possible to make the bot fetch the channels to join in the database depending on its current id in the name?

Ex: on connect, Neobot[1] would fetch every channels in the table channels_perform where Bot_id = 1 and will join every channels there? (here it would join #something and #somethingelse)

You only have to have one installation to run multiple bots but you will have to have a seperate eggdrop.conf for each bot.

This is not possible at this moment in time. I do belive Ofloo is currently working on a solution to use mysql for this very purpose.

Again this isnt possible at present.

Thanks for the answers

I think I'll remove the channels in the bot's perform list, and I'll try to make a small tcl script to fetch the channel list depending on the id of the bot.

you can try to make symbolic links to 1 config file so like

eggdrop.conf
bot0.conf -> eggdrop.conf
bot1.conf -> eggdrop.conf
bot2.conf -> eggdrop.conf

That should work...

Except they would all have the same userfile name, chanfile name, ports, botname and so on. May as well just use seperate configs.

you simply cannot run 2 bots with the same .pid file, except you delete it before starting the next bot. but why writing a script to define 10 nicknames, if you can simply create 10 files?
