Setting user mode to +R for all my bots

[Sloop]

Hi there,

I just thought about setting all my bots with usermode +iR
what do u think? I mean, it's a little bit secure to protect them for floods by non-registered nicknames or something like that.

I tried to search the .conf file and the console commands, but I did not found any possibility to give my bot the command to use this desired user mode +iR

Anyone can tell me how to do that? Maybe I can do somehow with netbots.cl ??

[Alchera]

In eggdrop.conf:

Code: Select all

# This is a Tcl script to be run immediately after connecting to a server.
bind evnt - init-server evnt:init_server

proc evnt:init_server {type} {
  global botnick
  putquick "MODE $botnick +iR-ws"
}

[YooHoo]

usermode +R will require the bot to be auth'd to whatever chanserv your network uses, so don't neglect to either load a seperate botnick identification tcl, or include in your bots' auth info in the evnt:init_server procedure

[Sloop]

Hi YooHoo and thanks for your clue, but I don't knoe exactly how to do that, above all my authentification script does not work very well. I have really tried a lot of scripts, and now I have loaded the chanservneed.tcl for which I had to enter the ChanServ and NickServ service and my passwords, and also to create two users ChanServ and NickServ as eggdrop user with the specified flags as described in the documentation of chanservneed.tcl

The ident process works fine, but sometimes (I dunno when exactly this problem occurs) I am getting following problem:

botname changed to botname_3
botname_3 changed to botname_8
botname_8 changed to botname

now I thought it will remain here, but this [censored] continues:

botname changed to botname_7

and so on and so on ... I then have to kill my botname eggdrop process from my shell, then do a "/msg nickserv release botname password" and afterwards restart this bot again.

Do you know what's wrong?? I also searched this chanservneed.tcl for the "evnt:init_server" code, but didn't find anything. Currently I am loading with netbots.tcl first the chanservneed.tcl and afterwards the usermodes.tcl which I created myself and pasted the code of Alchera.

Hope someone can help.

[YooHoo]

I'm not a big fan of bloated botnick auth scripts I tend to go with the simplest solution that works. Copy this example, replacing the relevant information

Code: Select all

bind evnt - init-server evnt:init_server 

proc evnt:init_server {type} { 
  global botnick 
  putserv "PRIVMSG $nickserv: AUTH my_password"; MODE $botnick +iR-ws" 
}

replace the putserv line with the correct info for your network and bot, this will ensure that your bot identifies to nickserv upon connecting to the server. There is another procedure next to init-server simply named connect-server. Make the putserv line in both of these procedures identical, and you shouldn't have anymore probs

[YooHoo]

oops, i left 1 too many double-quotes "
corrected code:

Code: Select all

bind evnt - init-server evnt:init_server 

proc evnt:init_server {type} { 
  global botnick 
  putserv "PRIVMSG $nickserv: AUTH my_password; MODE $botnick +iR-ws" 
}

[Alchera]

Code: Select all

putserv "PRIVMSG $nickserv: AUTH my_password"

Check your network's NickServ for the format to identify as suggested by YooHoo. Some do not use AUTH but use IDENTIFY; also change to:

Code: Select all

putserv "PRIVMSG $nickserv :AUTH my_password"

[YooHoo]

The ident process works fine, but sometimes (I dunno when exactly this problem occurs) I am getting following problem:

botname changed to botname_3
botname_3 changed to botname_8
botname_8 changed to botname

now I thought it will remain here, but this [censored] continues:

botname changed to botname_7

and so on and so on ... I then have to kill my botname eggdrop process from my shell, then do a "/msg nickserv release botname password" and afterwards restart this bot again.

Do you know what's wrong??

most likely nickserv is forcing your eggdrop to change to its altnick because a)some form of modnick protection is active or b)the botnick you have chosen for your bot either is taken by someone/thing else.

[Galadhrim]

if you want a nice auth script use the Qauth.tcl script (googlable) and change the line where the auth cmd is being send (provided your network uses a different format etc). the tcl checks if you are authed and also upon disconnect/reconnect re-auths.

[Sloop]

hi @ll,

as mentioned before I have big problems to identify my bots to my IRC-Network (=GRNet which runs Bahamut-IRCd v1.4(34). I tried a lot of scripts but somehow it does not work like I want. Also the simple procedure as described by YooHoo (to enter a "...PRIVMSG nickserv :IDENTIFY ...." command in the init-server section of .conf file) is not very fine, because this works only if it connects fresh to a server. Somehow I get in trouble because my botnick is taken by NickServ and looks like this:

• Whois info for ChanProtect (Normal)
• Full name : NickServ Enforcement
• Address : enforcer@irc.gr - Greece
• Channels : #enforcers - 1 Channel (1Reg)
• Server : services.irc.gr - GRNet Services HomeBase
• End of whois info for ChanProtect

So I need a "/msg nickserv release password" to release this first, and afterwards I send a "/nick mybotnick" because if you do not identify correct within the time period specified on Nickserv, you are automatically changed nickname to XXX-1234567890 (XXX-* *=a long number)) and then afterwards I identify with "/msg nickserv identify password"

I found best for my fits the script CHANSERVNEED.TCL
I tried to adjust the script to my IRC network, but I don't know, something is not working fine. Maybe you can help when I post the code and my log because I cannot TCL and I do not understand everything and so cannot find the error or problem.

Well, this is the original script http://www.egghelp.org/tclhtml/3478-4-0 ... rvneed.htm

Just a few words to what I changed:

- changed the nickservmask and chanservmask as described in the file
- renamed DALnet into GRNet and adjusted the text I think my server returns. I have shrinked the text, for better chance to recognize it, that's why I also use asterisk * as wildcard in beginning and end of sentence.
- removed the "default" network, because I only need GRNet I think?

I would be very very glad and appreciate it if someone could help me out there, as I do not know TCL scripting and therefore do not how to solve my problem.

Big and thousand thanx to everyone in advance !!!!!

[Alchera]

You've used a windows editor for a start; bad move.

I use a simple auto identify script for my bots (on DALnet) which uses Bahamut's 'watch' and I've never had a drama with it in over 4 years.

The script has the bot identify to NickServ every time NickServ is detected i.e. on connect or when services return after being down.

You can download the script from here. The only thing that needs editing is the following:

Code: Select all

set nickservicename "NickServ@services.dal.net"

Change the address as appropriate for your network using Notepad.

[Sloop]

Hi Alchera,

no I didn't edit it in Windows, I only use Linux but I was wondering myself about all the ^M ????

anyway... I tried your script, it works but unfortunately I got the same problem sometimes. I even don't know why this occurs, maybe because of netsplits or something like that. But then eggdrop won't identify again. I have also to restart the server and to manually a "/msg nickserv release password"


I dunno what else to try I thought the chanservneed.tcl would be the best one for my needs, but I have to get it work correctly first, and that's why I asked someone who knows TCL scripting if he can check the code and everything is ok or point me to the errors.

Anyhow BIG BIG THANX FOR YOUR EFFORT MAN.

Greetinx,
Sloop

[00:09] Nickname changed to 'XXX-19213808979780'???
[00:09] Switching back to nick ChanProtect
[00:09] NICK IN USE: ChanProtect (keeping 'XXX-19213808979780').
[00:10] Switching back to altnick ChanProtect

That's curious. You have both the bots main nick and alternate nick set the same i.e. ChanProtect?

If so, I'd suggest picking a different alternate nick; ChanProtect` for instance. The "NICK IN USE" bit indicates your bots nick is still online as a ghost.

You should also fix up the access list in NickServ, that usually solves a few problems.

NB: the ^M is an EOL character from memory. You best use pico or vi for editing TCL scripts.

[Sloop]

Alchera, I HAD the alternate nickname before to ChanProtect_? but the same [censored] happened, it changed from nickname to alternater_nick and so on. After that I thought about setting the altnick to the same as the botnick, but it didn't help. I do NOT HAVE access lists for my nicks on nickserv, they can log-in from everywhere.

I edit everything with 'vi' but I dunno why this error still occured. Maybe I'll try pico next time.

Damn it, I still don't know why this happens and how to fix it. Anyone can check my script code?

[YooHoo]

why not just unload that lame script? or maybe just turn off that feature?
