Hello everyone.
Bit of a noob when it comes to bots but I'll try not to annoy. I've ran a search for this problem but can't seem to find anything specific. When I run my bot e.g c:\windrop (enter) eggdrop (enter). The last line comes up with *Invalid userfile format.
I.ve checked the userinfo files which are in TCL but I'm fairly sure I'm looking in the wrong place. I know it will be something simple but can't seem to get my head round it. I must of changed something but can't for the life of me think what it is.
Any help very much appreciated thanks in advance.

Invalid userfile format.
That message means that the file used to store the user database has been "damaged". Or rather, the structure of the file has been, making it imposible for your eggdrop to make heads or tails of it.
There's an external script that comes with egdrop called "weed", which is usually used to manage huge userfiles "offline", this script might be able to still read most of the userfile and re-create it.
You could also look for any of eggdrop's backups of the userfile (has the extension .bak as I recall), and try replacing the curent userfile with that one..
Otherwize, your last option would be to remove the old userfile, and create a new one (starting over from scratch) using the -m option..
Also, this is in no way related to the userinfo.tcl script. That script wil never touch the userfile itself, but only use eggdrop's commands for manipulating user records.
