NO BOT NAME ????

[MrGravity]

when i run:

./eggdrop -nt

i get "NO BOT NAME"

so i put in:

./eggdrop -nt eggdrop.simple.conf

and the console doesnt change, it wont allow me to the session as a DCC conversation

BTW, i am trying to get eggdrop to run through a proxy with the line

set firewall "x.x.x.x:xxxx"

so i cant telnet to it
how do i then communicate with it?

One normally commences a DCC Chat with eggdrops after it has connected to the IRC network.

Code: Select all

/DCC CHAT <nick>

Unless eggdrop is behind a specific Firewall (as per the documentation) there is no use for it.

[MrGravity]

its not connecting to an irc network though, thats the whole problem

[Alchera]

eggdrop is specifically an IRC bot. It connects to IRC networks or virtual IRC networks only unless it is being used as a 'limbo' bot.

i get "NO BOT NAME"

edit your conf.. you did not fully configure your bot.. that error should say it all really..

[MrGravity]

i was just typing:

./eggdrop -nt

instead of typing:

./eggdrop -nt eggdrop.conf

but the proxy still doesnt allow me to connect;

when i use "set firewall"blah.blah.blah.blah:xxxx""

eggdrop doent stay running in my processes

i dont get it

After running eggdrop using the -nt switch the process will be killed once the terminal is closed. You have to launch eggdrop in the background simply with: ./eggdrop eggdrop.conf
