Hi there

Did you try /ctcp BotNickName CHAT ?

[TCL_no_TK]

When you /ctcp botnick CHAT and you apcept the chat request from the bot, did you first give your handle and password. handle is usually your nickname, unless its longer that nine chars. In which case look at the output of /msg botnick HELLO for your handle. There is a referance of DCC chat and party line available online here. I've found that if there is something wrong with the dcc connections to check the config file, if you do a forum search for dcc problems you should find alot of usefull posts on this. And if all else fails, try using putty to telnet to your bot.

hi

when i CTCP BOTNICK CHAT i get

CTCP [ ERROR ] received by botnick: no telnet port

[TCL_no_TK]

Check these settings in your eggdrop config file

# This opens a telnet port by which you and other bots can interact with the
# Eggdrop by telneting in.
#
# There are more options for the listen command in doc/tcl-commands.doc. Note
# that if you are running more than one bot on the same machine, you will want
# to space the telnet ports at LEAST 5 apart, although 10 is even better.
#
# Valid ports are typically anything between 1025 and 65535 assuming the
# port is not already in use.
#
# If you would like the bot to listen for users and bots in separate ports,
# use the following format:
#
# listen 3333 bots
# listen 4444 users
#
# If you wish to use only one port, use this format:
#
# listen 3333 all
#
# You need to un-comment this line and change the port number in order to open
# the listen port. You should not keep this set to 3333.
#listen 3333 all

Make sure you have some like listen 3456 users and eggdrop can open the port on its given hostname or ip.

i used the simple.conf,think i got it of this site.when reading back the the eggdrop.conf,thier is not half the things in the simple.conf,as what is in the eggdrop.conf lol,telenet settings for 1.just configuring it now,will get back and let you know if i get it working,thank you all for the help

STARTING BOT IN USERFILE CREATION MODE.
Telnet to the bot and enter 'NEW' as your nickname.
OR go to IRC and type: /msg Lamestbot hello
This will make the bot recognize you as the master.

You have installed modules but have not selected an encryption
module, please consult the default config file for info.


got this far now,bot is not joining irc

[Zircon]

Eggdrop will not start without an encryption module. So uncomment this line :

Code: Select all

#loadmodule blowfish

[jackblack]

thanks done that.
bot still wont join chan


STARTING BOT IN USERFILE CREATION MODE.
Telnet to the bot and enter 'NEW' as your nickname.
OR go to IRC and type: /msg bruno hello
This will make the bot recognize you as the master.

[22:30] === bruno: 0 channels, 0 users.
Launched into the background (pid: 13954)

That is another issue.

Setting up an Eggdrop

.. and just in case: 1.6.18 config file

Or simply use eggdrop.conf found in the eggdrop1.6.18 directory.

[jackblack]

it is actually running,so could it be a channel issue,i have looked through the .conf file now 4 times or so,cant seem to see nothing wrong,it leaves the chan log (blank) though

that is the config file i am now using

[Zircon]

Did you specify a static channel in the conf file ? otherwise, once you are in the party line, type

Code: Select all

.+chan #channel

But in my opinion, it s better to specify a static channel in the .conf file, so replace #lamest by the name of your channel, and uncomment these lines :

# channel add #lamest {
# chanmode "+nt-likm"
# idle-kick 0
# stopnethack-mode 0
# revenge-mode 0
# ban-time 120
# exempt-time 60
# invite-time 60
# aop-delay 5:30
# need-op { putserv "PRIVMSG #lamest :op me cos i'm lame!" }
# need-invite { putserv "PRIVMSG #lamest :let me in!" }
# need-key { putserv "PRIVMSG #lamest :let me in!" }
# need-unban { putserv "PRIVMSG #lamest :let me in!" }
# need-limit { putserv "PRIVMSG #lamest :let me in!" }
# flood-chan 10:60
# flood-deop 3:10
# flood-kick 3:10
# flood-join 5:60
# flood-ctcp 3:60
# flood-nick 5:60
# }

And also these lines :

# channel set #lamest +enforcebans +dynamicbans +userbans +dynamicexempts
# channel set #lamest +userexempts +dynamicinvites +userinvites +protectops
# channel set #lamest +protectfriends +statuslog +revenge -protecthalfops
# channel set #lamest +revengebot +dontkickops +autovoice -autoop -autohalfop
# channel set #lamest -bitch -secret -shared +greet +cycle

Dont forget that you can edit these setting to suit your needs, and by the way change this

chanmode "+nt-likm"

to this

chanmode "+nt"
