Hi, im not sure where else to post this but is there a windows version of eggdrop other than windrop?

Windrop is the Windows version of Eggdrop. I guess you can get a Linux emulator for Windows and compile Eggdrop on it.

No. You would have to get cygwin and get the packages to make/compile the eggdrop then get the modules and compile it as well.

If you don't wanna run cygwin in my option it's best for windows. But if you don't wanna do that guess you can install linux on a old computer, run vmware, or pubuntu.

But I would say cygwin is best.

I know I will end up buying a really crappy cheep computer off ebay and install a Linux on it for this but is there a way to move the files that allows it to remember who I am and anyone else etc. over to a Linux computer?

Also does windrop have its own forum where I can ask for help related to it or do people who use it ask here?

Ask here. The only difference between a windrop and an eggdrop, the only real difference, is the OS calls make through exec and paths of course are different. Other than that, what works on an eggdrop will work on a windrop if the scripter takes care to make their code OS independent (which most do, I script OS independent myself). A few are stuck in the mud and will work only for windrop or eggdrop This is because the scripter writing these has used commands or paths which only return the expected result on the OS they were written for.

Well now i do have problem with Windrop.

My problem is that after installing megahal ( win32 version ) onto windrop and editing the .conf file with loadmodule megahal it work.

I get this error "Cant load modules megahal: No such file or directory"

Im using windrop1.6.19 and the latest megahal.

Therein lies your problem. This is a "paths" problem. The author of megahal in his newest version has made it "stuck in the mud" (aka, made it OS dependent). But this could've been avoided had you merely used the search function of this forum. This has been discussed before, and I myself have provided a working and viable solution for you.

Follow the advice, exactly, and installing megahal on windrop is not a problem.

Well I tried downgrading to 1.7 and using all the fles from the newest megahal but replacing the dll module with your dll module.
By downgrading, the module got loaded but when my bot joins channel it wont reply to anything im saying.

I have edited the conf file with the megahal channel settings but it still wont talk.
However when I telnet to bot and use the .megahal command and talk to that way and it works.
So there must be something im doing wrong since I have searched the forums and will continue to do so but I cant find anything relating to my latest problem.

Thank you

Did you read the documentation?

There are 3 basic behaviors to a megahal:

.chanset #yourchan +megahal
Bot will learn from things starting with it's nick. Bot will respond to any sentence with it's nick.

.chanset #yourchan +learnall
Bot will learn from anything said. Bot will respond to any sentence with it's nick.

.chanset #yourchan +freespeak
Bot will learn from anything said. Bot will respond to anything said.

Setting nothing will result in nothing. This is not a bug, this is a feature.

Yes i have read the documentation over and over.
The .chanset command you wrote there, i tryed it when telneting to my bot and typed this
.chanset #diosmio +megahal +leanall +freespeak
I tryed it in different ways like only having +megahal etc but still it did not work.

This is my channel setting for the channel im testing my bot on.

Code: Select all

  channel add #diosmio {

  chanmode "+nt"

  idle-kick 0

  }

  channel set #diosmio +megahal +learnall +freespeak

Hmm i got my bot to say 1 thing.

I slapped it in irc and said hi tom-gs then it said Hi tom-gs back.

-------------------

It is now speaking, however not quite the way how its supposed to.

-------------------

I restarted my bot and it wont talk again but ive noticed that before after it had a auto brain save ( every 1 hour default ) that he talked.
Why is this?, i don't want to wait 1 hour after its joined a channel to talk to the people on it.

My problem with megahal has being sorted and not other problems with it.

Thank you
