Take the nick when the bot quits IRC.

[irate]

I want the bot to take the nick whenever etari quits IRC, is that possible?

Code: Select all

proc quit:user {nick {nick uhost hand chan} {
if {$nick == "etari"} && {$host == "*!*@etari.*"}
if { [regexp {etari has left IRC} [string tolower $text]] } {
putserv "NICK etari"
}

Can you force Eggdrop to change nicks?
I've never tried it.

I'm guessing you could probably set the bots default nick as etari, then if it's in use, it will go to an alternate nick.

Then, you could probably have it execute .restart every time it finds "etari has quit IRC".
Only problem is, I don't know if Eggdrop sees quits the same as you do on mIRC.

Well actually, I don't want to login into the telnet every time it quits or rejoins, I want the bot to do it automatically.

eggdrop.conf:

# Set the nick the bot uses on IRC, and on the botnet unless you specify a
# separate botnet-nick, here.
set nick "Lamestbot"

# Set the alternative nick which the bot uses on IRC if the nick specified
# by 'set nick' is unavailable. All '?' characters will be replaced by random
# numbers.
set altnick "Llamab?t"

Try jupe.tcl from the Tcl archive.

Thanks, that's what I was looking for.
