problems with using eggdrop

Oste · Post by **Oste** » Fri Jun 17, 2005 5:11 am

Hello

I seem to have a bit of a problem with my eggdrop... I connects to an IRC network when i start it (with ./eggdrop -m eggdrop.conf), and I can do a /whois on the network and get the proper reply. I also did the /msg BillyBot Hello (where Billybot is the name of my eggdrop), and it replied on the server:

[10:11] Introduced to [F]Oste (*!Oste@*.quakenet.org)
[10:11] Bot installation complete, first master is [F]Oste

But then i cant get anything else out of my eggdrop. And it didnt even respond to me in the irc network, nor does it respond to /msg Billybot help.

So my problem is: The bot is on the network, but i can get in tuch with it.

I have tried without luck to search this forum for threads regarding that, so I hope some of you can help me out

When Iwrite that, i still dont get a reply in the IRC client (mIRC), but i can se that it responds on my server with:

Code: Select all

[11:35] ([F]Oste|GONE!~Oste@oste^away.users.quakenet.org) ![F]Oste|G! PASS...

Isnt it supposed to respond something to me in mIRC? Or am i wrong?

ok out of curiosity try this.

Kill your eggdrop. delete the billybot.user an billybot.user.bak files.

Change your nick to FOste.

Restart your eggdrop with -m switch.

/msg billybot hello
/msg billybot pass mynewpassword

If that works then its because you have [ ] in your nick wich have a special meaning.

If it doesnt work recheck your config file and make sure your net-type is correct.

I have tried everything you have suggested, but it still doesnt gives me any answer...

Code: Select all

set net-type 1

This should be correct, if I am connecting to an IRC network, right?

Only if you are connecting to IRCNet. If you are on say Quakenet you will need to use net-type 5 and set all the other net-type 5 settings. Its all in the config if you read it properly.

Code: Select all

set net-type 5

It doenst make any difference

I also set the varibles in the following sections:

Code: Select all

### SERVER MODULE - OTHER NETWORKS (net-type 5) ###
### IRC MODULE - OTHER NETWORKS (net-type 5) ###

It still doesnt gives me an answer on mIRC, but I can se that my commands are going into the but on the server, because it is responding there with:

Code: Select all

[12:25] -NOTICE- *** Looking up your hostname
[12:25] -NOTICE- *** Checking Ident
[12:25] -NOTICE- *** Found your hostname
[12:25] -NOTICE- on 4 ca 1(4) ft 20(20) tr
[12:25] Introduced to [F]Oste (*!Oste@*.quakenet.org)
[12:25] Bot installation complete, first master is [F]Oste
[12:25] Writing user file...
[12:25] Writing channel file...
[12:25] [[F]Oste!Oste@oste^away.users.quakenet.org] newpass ******

a) the command name is "pass" not "newpass"
b) eggdrop doesnt choke on [] nicknames, 100% percent (I have even a Bot running with such a nick and botnick name ^^).
