Nick Len
Hi all, im trying to add users but the problem is that the nick len is shortened. So for example, if i tried to add a nick like BlueSkyBlue2001 it'll only add BlueSky, if not that. Is there a way to raise the length? Thanx in advance!

Hi dellthinker,
To change the nick len, you have to:
- goto the eggdropx.x.xx/src directory (where x.x.xx is the version)
- open eggdrop.h file and find this
- change 9 to the values you want
- save changes
- recompile eggdrop
- restart

Code: Select all
#define HANDLEN 9 /* valid values 9->NICKMAX */
- save changes
- recompile eggdrop
- restart

Actually, using geteggdrop.com is safe, as it is simply a redirection domain that's been in use by eggheads since 2002:ish, and should always redirect to the latest released version of eggdrop on a mirror close to you.
Obviously, it's always a good idea to verify the MD5:sums and gpg-signatures no matter where you downloaded it from.

Yup! I was actually unaware of that redirection until it was recently brought to my attention.nml375 wrote:Actually, using geteggdrop.com is safe, as it is simply a redirection domain that's been in use by eggheads since 2002:ish, and should always redirect to the latest released version of eggdrop on a mirror close to you.
