Well, '.echo off' does work! You you calso look at turning '.chanset #chan -statuslog' (exceedingly annoying also).

For detailed information regarding console flags:

Code: Select all

.help console

Code: Select all

.echo off

That's it! Anyone added to the bot that has partyline access can use that command.

Can you paste an example of this "echoing"?

[[1:02pm]<07chubby> .say morning
[1:02pm] 12<Alfred12> Said to #dummies: morning

Alfred is the eggdrop, and no one has access to it but me.

Is normal behaviour with echo turned off.

how can i turn it off? i type: .echo off .rehash .reload and it still displays everything i said back to me.
so i tried .echo on .rehash. reload and it still the same..
how can i get rid of that?

Trouble understanding PLAIN English?

It's doing exactly what it is supposed to do.

Use a Tcl script then:

Code: Select all

bind dcc n botsay botsay

proc botsay {hand idx arg} {
 if {[llength [split $arg]]} {
  puthelp "privmsg #dummies :$arg"
 }
}

So instead of .say you can use .botsay.

i am not trying to change the .say to .botsay . what i am trying to do is that i dont want to see everthing i say from the bot display back to it because it fills up the whole screen fast since i talk thru it alot. how can i do that? it was like that until someone told me to use a command that i forgot and i can't set it back the way it was.

If you know C then you might be able to sift through eggdrop source, modify where appropriate, and then recompile.

There is no magic anything to stop the behaviour the bot displays via DCC when using ".say [channel] <text>".

The solution posted by Sir_Fz is a work around for that behaviour and I suggest you use it.

.console -c

Nope.

Code: Select all

Alchera .console -c
Austar Set your console to #Ballarat: mobxs (msgs, misc, bots, files, server).
Alchera .say Testing
Austar Said to #Ballarat: Testing

He's wants all of it off i.e. last line (above).
