Two Configuration Questions

PessimiStick · Post by **PessimiStick** » Thu Feb 21, 2002 5:31 pm

First question: Is there any way to get the bot to NOT truncate names when you set people as Master/Owner? My bot always truncates my name to 'PessimiSt', even if I use set nick-len 15 (or any other umber for that matter)

Second question: How do you get the bot to automatically know the key for a room? The key is aways the same to the room, so I just want the bot to join with it, but I never could find a place in the chan settings to set a key.

Thanks in advance, and excuse my eggdrop newbieness. =

nick-len is not related to handlen. read src/eggdrop.h, edit and recompile (pay attention to the warnings given of the consequences of this)

.chanset #chan +ntk yourkey
or
.chanset #chan need-key putserv "JOIN #chan key"

first one is faster. second one means bot aint enforcing the key

Thanks =)
Ok, now it's telling me I can't use
.chanset #chan need-key putserv "JOIN #chan key"
becuase "Due to security concerns, only permanent owners can set these modes."

How exactly do I make it see me as the permanent owner?

put your handle in owner variable in conf

No luck, it still doesn't see me as the permanent owner. Is it because my nick is PessimiStick and the bot truncates it to PessimiSt? The owner variable in the conf file is PessimiStick, so I don't know why it thinks I'm not the owner.

must be whatever your handle is (thus if HANDLEN is 9 it cant be more than 9)

Would it work for him if he set "PessimiSt" AND "PessimiStick" as owners in the config?
