Problem with saving the userfile & other commands overal

[Decl]

The bot doesn't save the userfile on command .save:

[18:08:37] <Decl> .save
[18:08:37] <botje> [18:08] #Decl# save
[18:08:37] <botje> Saving user file...
[18:08:37] <botje> [18:08] ERROR writing user file.

What could the problem be ?

[Galadhrim]

does the bot have the correct rights?

The bot should be booted with the user who owns the files or the files(& dirs) should have property 777. Otherwise it will never work.

[demond]

either insufficient file/directory permissions or exceeded disk quota

[Decl]

Now I found out, that '.save' works when I am alone on the partyline. When there is somebody else and I try '.save', it displays such message. Saving or writing the files automatically after each hour works normally.

Another question: what's the command to remove somebody from the partyline (like kick or something ) ?

the command is .boot - why don't you do yourself a favor....type .help all and read...

LOL

get rid of your scripts and see if the problem persists

[Alchera]

There is no way '.save' would behave that way when there are other users on the partyline. As demond indicates, you appear to have a script that is causing your problem.

[Decl]

And anyway... I found out there are a lot of other problems, while more than 1 user are on partyline. For example, .help never works, when 2 are there. When I enter the partyline and somebody is in there, MOTD doesn't appear as it normally should... the other user can't make .whois himself, altho I can (as a global owner). I don't get it... :S

It also crashes on realoading config (.rehash) while 2 users on p/l. Altho I have all scripts I've added myself disabled. WTF?

if help doesn't work, check to make sure you have the path correctly defined in the conf file

[demond]

in any case such behaviour is not due to a bug in eggdrop hehehe

either you still run lame script(s), or your bot isn't standard eggdrop (patched? hacked? cracked?), or you simply messed up your userrecord(s) and when someone logs in, the bot recognizes them as you (or vice versa), since you have their hostmask(s) in your record (i.e. from the bot's point-of-view, they match as you); but the latter isn't likely to cause the problem, even with messed up userrecord(s) the bot still must not mess up dcc indexes

[Decl]

I have normal eggdrop downloaded from the slennox's eggdrop page and installed on one shell. All paths are set corrently and only 3 scripts are added to the standart ones (all taken from the same page):

autovoice-on-join
Q-Auth
and third from these forums, the triggers script.

I disabled all of them, doesn't help. Command .help, by the way, works when I am alone on the partyline. Everything absolutely works normally then. But when somebody else joins the partyline, anyone, doesn't matter who, bot starts making these tricks.

Re-check your configuration: Setting up an Eggdrop

I have normal eggdrop downloaded from the slennox's eggdrop page and installed on one shell.

New user file?

[Decl]

I tried almost everything now. I deleted the user&chanfiles, made new ones. Didn't help. Then I even deleted the config, made a new one, edited it normally and put bot running. I connected to partyline of eggdrop.

By then all commands were working. MOTD displayed etc...

When I added a user and asked him to join partyline, the problems came up. While being together there, some commands refused to work. ".help" for example, and others.

[14:11:38] <botje`> No help available on that.

The point is that the shell, where I am having eggdrop, doesn't let the users to install the eggdrop themselves. They have eggdrop installed in the main path of shell, so every user has just a .conf file. Location of the paths is marked correctly, as EVERYTHING works perfectly when there is only ONE person on the partyline.

But when more than one is there, problems come up. Even the MOTD doesn't pop up, when new user connects to P/L (at time the other is already there). Why is that ? Any ideas ?

P.S. Note that the codes above are about a TOTALLY new eggdrop, which config file is edited from the standart one 30 mins earlier and has only 1 channel added and 2 users on it (these 2 are displayed in the code). Therefor, it doesn't have ANY extra scripts added, but just the standart ones.

Help ?

[demond]

you first said you have downloaded and installed eggdrop, now you say you are not allowed to install eggdrop on that shell yourself? if the latter is correct, I'd recommend you immediately ditch that shell provider

in any case the issue is likely caused by either patched and f*cked up eggdrop or some weird file access/lock problem
