It is possible if you modify sources a little and remove HANDLEN check. Actually nothing bad happends when you link diffrent HANDLENs bots. Userfile is sent properly and of course handle's are cutted when sent from 32 to 9 ;)

Can you explain me in details.

What is there not to understand about "editing sources"?

You busily scroll through the source files and look for what you want to modify and then re-compile eggdrop.

You could do the following so that *all* bots can cope with 32 character user nicks and nothing gets "cutted" (I really wish foreigner's would stop stuffing up the Queen's English).

In the src folder of eggdrop1.6.1x edit eggdrop.h and change:

Code: Select all

#define HANDLEN 9   /* valid values 9->NICKMAX  */

... to:

Code: Select all

#define HANDLEN 32   /* valid values 9->NICKMAX  */

.. save the file and recompile your bot(s) and they will link with any other bot that has been compiled to use 32 character nicks.
