Is the bot on IRC?

Have you read through the config file correctly? Look for the line "unbind msg - "hello" *msg:hello" and read the instructions.

Bot is on IRC, but doesn´t join the channel and doesn´t answer on /msg bot hello.

have tested with # and without # for the unbind command. Both not working

Kill the bot

Delete any userfile that has been created.

Restart the bot using "./eggdrop -mn config.file"

Wait for it to join the IRC server.

Send iot the message

See what error pop up on the shell

answer to /msg bot hello or to the server ?

cat320 · Post by **cat320** » Sun Jul 28, 2002 9:20 am

2 the bot, don´t have telnet access. The bot will not anwser for me. i´m more and more angry over this [censored] with the bot.

Bot is running on titanix free shell

gk^ · Post by **gk^** » Sun Jul 28, 2002 9:25 am

make sure to kill the bot.. then remove your user,chan,note and pid fil.. and then start the bot with "./eggdrop -mn yourconfigfile.conf"
check in putty or whatever you are using that the bot says "joining channel etc etc"... then check mirc (or what ever) an type "/msg your-bots-nick hello"
This should work...

cat320 · Post by **cat320** » Sun Jul 28, 2002 9:49 am

i have killed the bot and then all the files. Start new the bot with eggdrop -mn eggdrop.conf and the bot doesn´t answer me. The bot joins only to the irc server and not 2 the channel. Have fine running an Windrop egg with no probs but these eggdrop bot robs my nervs.

ppslim · Post by **ppslim** » Sun Jul 28, 2002 11:14 am

You should simply be able to use your old windrop config file, with only the changes required to make use of the *nix filesystem.

Once this is done, try again.

Also check that you have done the "channel add" lines correectly

Other things to note. Free shells can sometimes be the cause of problems.

have changed the Server, Bot join this Server"irc.matrix-network.org:6667" and joins the channel(yeah), but not answer to the /msg command. What is that for an [censored]????

gk^ · Post by **gk^** » Sun Jul 28, 2002 3:25 pm

pls.. tell me EXACTLY what you type when you want your bot to answer?

And btw .. did you edit $owner ?

cat320 · Post by **cat320** » Sun Jul 28, 2002 3:38 pm
