Megahal on Windrop Issue

dokueki · Post by **dokueki** » Mon Feb 18, 2008 5:07 am

So uh... I downloaded Megahal for Windows (since I moved to Windows from Linux) and well, all the files seem to be in place, I loaded the right module, and megahal.dll is inside the modules directory. Although, I still get this error:

[11:00] Can't load modules megahal: No such file or directory

Any help on this would be great. Thanks in advance :3

Try moving it to the main windrop folder (or try the scripts folder).

I tried moving the file to several locations, but it didn't work >: I miss Linux where I compiled the whole damn thing together X3

Try putting it where it makes most sense, in the ../windrop/modules/ folder. Dll's are modules. Then simply add this line somewhere in your eggdrop.conf:

Code: Select all

loadmodule megahal

If you still get that error, your using a bad dll. Try using the same dll as I am.

<speechles> sp33chy windrop
<sp33chy> speechles: I am a child raised entirely by irc. You are a windrop.

Thats a windropped megahal just FYI.

Important Note:
When you source things in the eggdrop.conf it will assume you are sourcing from your windrop's root level. Using source scripts/script.tcl is required to source from the /scripts/ folder.
The same is NOT true when loading modules, it will assume you are loading from the /modules/ folder directly. You can simply use loadmodule yourmod with no need to specify a path.

This is most likely the cause of your troubles, you are using loadmodule path/to/module instead of just loadmodule module.

I'd like to point out that I am having the same problem as OP.
I even tried the dll file you linked to.
btw I'm on vista 64-bit. Wonder if that has anything to do with it.

I'd like to point out I fixed the problem by using the current stable release of windrop and not the development release.

I have the same problem (have the german version of Windrop):

Kann keine Module laden megahal: No such file or directory
(Can't load modules megahal: No such file or directory)

Seems like a general problem of Windrop, I searched almost the whole web, found some polish boards where they have the same problem.

Maybe it is a problem in the new version of eggdrop?

<speechles> sp33chy windrop
<sp33chy> speechles: Its windrop yeah.
<speechles> sp33chy windropped
<sp33chy> speechles: It's me, the windropped bot taught entirely from irc!

I have the exact same problems as everyone else when I either try to upgrade the windrop or upgrade the megahal. So the answer is to downgrade both, use windrop 1.6.17 and the exact same megahal.dll as I am. This clearly works as I've shown above. Of course, this means to use all the files from the latest megahal, but replace the megahal.dll with the one I've provided. That is all you need to do with windrop 1.6.17 and your bot can chatter spam all day long too.

I found out that some 1.6.18 Windrops were compiled with Tcl 8.4 while others were compiled with Tcl 8.5.

Megahal works with Windrop v1.6.18 / Tcl 8.4
