How do I change the Bots nick?

Post by rtfmoz »

I have looked but I cannot find out how to change the bots nick.

If it gets on a Dalnet server and someone has the nick it will use an alternate one. Once my script has kicked the old nick off the server I want to rename the bot back to its normal nick before I identify, and join channels.

How do I do this?

As an adendum....

Is there a way to tell eggdrrop to not immediately join channels?

Like if I set a variable say called dont_join to 1 it wont join channels until that variable is set to 0 (it checks the var every 5 seconds). The reason being is so I can sort out all the Nickserv junk with the server before I join any channels.

GodofSuicide,

Regarding the 2nd item: I am sorry I cant figure it out. I have been through both the tcl-commands and the html docs. Can you give me a better pointer?
