[rayraymond]

i get this erro msg when doing /ctcp botnick chat help and the erro comes
no telnet port

Im a real noob so please help (or re do the ports below to help me


# If you would like the bot to listen for users and bots in separate ports,
# use the following format:
#
# listen 3339 bots
# listen 6667 users
#
# If you wish to use only one port, use this format:
#
# listen 3339 all
#
# You need to un-comment this line and change the port number in order to open
# the listen port. You should not keep this set to 3333.
#listen 3339 all

You'll have to remove the hash-sign (#) in front of the listen-command, otherwize tcl will treat it as a comment and ignore it

[rayraymond]

what do you mean remove the # before the listen there is more then one listen ? do you mean infront of the listen all ???

[nml375]

Well, that would depend on what restrictions and which port number you'd like your bot to use.

For the /ctcp chat feature to work, you'll need a "user"-port, which is provided by either "users" or "all". The difference between the two, is that "all" also permits botnet connections on the same port.

I usually recommend going for the "users" option:

Code: Select all

listen 1234 users

Just remember to change 1234 into a different number, that is not already in use on the server.

So if i wanted it to be 3335 i just do
listen 3339 all

instead of
#listen 3339 all

[nml375]

If you'd like your eggdrop to listen for both users and other eggdrops on port 3335, you'd change the line to this:

Code: Select all

listen 3335 all

The line you posted would make it listen to the port 3339, not 3335

[rayraymond]

so is this okay ?

# listen 3335 bots
# listen 6667 users
#
# If you wish to use only one port, use this format:
#
# listen 3335 all
#
# You need to un-comment this line and change the port number in order to open
# the listen port. You should not keep this set to 3333.
listen 3335 all

Yes

okat how do i restart the eggdrop using putty cd eggdrop ./eggdrop then what ?
Also why dose my bot join on diffrent nicks at the same time ?

[nml375]

It sounds to me like you forgot to stop/kill your old instance of your eggdrop before starting the new one. Simply running the eggdrop binary will not stop any currently-running instances of it; you'll have to either terminate it using the dcc partyline command .die (in your case, you'd have to use /dcc chat for this), or use the kill command on your shell (such as kill -9 pidofbot, where pidofbot is the actual process id of the running eggdrop. See the ps command for this).

[rayraymond]

Okay i have killed them all, and then restarted it by cd eggdrop ./eggdrop and only one eggdrop connected this time on port 6667 so i think thats okay the only thing is now the bot wont listen to any commands i do, do you have msn it will be easyer or team viewer ? im very noobie im sorry

You need to start reading some eggdrop documentation and start searching this forum.
