Unsresponsive bot?

dc2447 · Post by **dc2447** » Tue Jan 29, 2008 12:59 pm

My bot is up and running.

It enters channels etc no problem. It seems to boot users who are flooding.

I can telnet to it, setup my user and authenticate.

I can run help commands etc .help module - no problem

However if I /msg botnick hello or /msg botnich help in irc it just ignores me

Any ideas what I am missing?

Probably a suitable hostmask.
Try the .channel command to see a channelmembers listing including whom your bot identified him/her as. If the handle reads "*" for you, then your hostmask does not match.

Yup, use the .+host command to add hosts, .match or .whois to see your current settings/hosts, an d.-host to remove any unwanted hosts.

All hostmasks are matched against "nick!ident@host" on irc, and "-telnet!ident@host" for telnet connections (where "-telnet" is litteral).

I have added my mask using .+host - and it says it's added to my user but I still get * with the handle and can't talk to the bot

If oyu still see a '*' as handle, then you've done something wrong. Make sure you've added your hostmask correctly, such as:
Owner!ident@*domain.com
