I have that. But this is only for users which messages the bot ?
I want all messages; user to user.

You can't do that, even if your bot has some access on your ircd I don't think it's possible on any type of ircds.

LOL

I've said it earlier, but couldn't help it on this occasion... it never ceases to amaze me how many people - eggdrop owners (who are supposed to be amongst the most experienced and knowledgeable IRC users) - don't actually have the slightest clue how IRC works

dude, messages on IRC don't pass through yours or your bot's computer (unless you are the originator or the target of that message); they pass through the IRC server, so only IRC server's admin can sniff messages (and only some of those; it depends on network's topology whether a message from user on server A, destined for user on server B, passes through server C or not)

I think he possibly meant user and bot. He may have alice.tcl or megahal mod enabled.

maybe he means he wants to log to file only privmsg's...?

Code: Select all

logfile m * "logs/privmsg.log"
