help with rssnews

[good]

I've tried with numerous rss feeds. It gets to the channel and the script responds with "No news for this channel". I have no clue what is going on. It's configured right, the rss feeds are right, it should work.

[demond]

in such case there must be script-generated errors in the log, the script simply can't ignore and not log any feed fetch outcome but success

maybe your [logfile] command in the config lacks 'o' flag - refer to eggdrop.conf

BTW I get quite a lot timeouts on those Katrina feeds of yours, which is understandable, many people are eager for updates

[good]

I am using simple.config. It doesn't say anything about a flag on the logfiles.

[demond]

'simple.config'? there is no such file in eggdrop's official distribution - if you use some stripped-down by who-knows-who (maybe your shell provider) version of eggdrop, don't do so; download the real thing and study the example config file eggdrop.conf very carefully

[good]

Ok, so I went back to the default config, edited it, put the script in the config and ran it. Loads the script but won't work right. Same error: "No news for this channel". You told me to not add scripts directly into the config. What would be the code to add scripts without putting them directly into the config? Maybe that will work.

[good]

Config looks like this now:

Code: Select all

# /eggdrop
# ^- This should contain a fully qualified path to your Eggdrop executable.
#
# $Id: eggdrop.conf,v 1.40 2004/08/21 22:43:27 wcc Exp $
#
# This is a sample Eggdrop configuration file which includes all possible
# settings that can be used to configure your bot.
#
# The pound signs (#) that you see at the beginning of some lines mean that
# the remainder of that line is a comment, or just for your information. By
# adding or deleting pound signs, you can comment or uncomment a setting,
# respectively.
#
# Arguments for a command or setting may be inclosed in <>'s or []'s in the
# example/description. Arguments in <>'s are required, while [] means optional.
#
# More detailed descriptions of all these settings can be found in
# doc/settings/.



##### BASIC SETTINGS #####

# This setting defines the username the bot uses on IRC. This setting has
# no effect if an ident daemon is running on your bot's machine.
set username "HelpDesk"

# This setting defines which contact person should be shown in .status,
# /msg help, and other places. You really should include this information.
set admin "good <email: bawkgadawk@hotmail.com>"

# This setting is used only for info to share with others on your botnet.
# Set this to the IRC network your bot is connected to.
set network "irc.blessed.net"

# This setting defines the timezone is your bot in. It's used for internal
# routines as well as for logfile timestamping and scripting purposes.
# The timezone string specifies the name of the timezone and must be three
# or more alphabetic characters. For example, Central European Time(UTC+1)
# should be "CET".
set timezone "EST"

# The offset setting specifies the time value to be added to the local
# time to get Coordinated Universal Time (UTC aka GMT). The offset is
# positive if the local timezone is west of the Prime Meridian and
# negative if it is east. The value (in hours) must be between -23 and
# 23. For example, if the timezone is UTC+1, the offset is -1.
set offset "5"

# If you don't want to use the timezone setting for scripting purposes only,
# but instead everywhere possible, un-comment the following line.
#set env(TZ) "$timezone $offset"

# If you're using virtual hosting (your machine has more than 1 IP), you
# may want to specify the particular IP to bind to. You can specify either
# by hostname or by IP. You may also want to set the hostname here if
# Eggdrop has trouble detecting it when it starts up.
#set my-hostname "virtual.host.com"
#set my-ip "99.99.0.0"

# If you want to have your Eggdrop messages displayed in a language other
# than English, change this setting to match your preference. An alternative
# would be to set the environment variable EGG_LANG to that value.
#
# Languages included with Eggdrop: Danish, English, French, Finnish, German.
#addlang "english"


##### LOG FILES #####

# Eggdrop is capable of logging various things, from channel chatter to
# commands people use on the bot and file transfers. Logfiles are normally
# kept for 24 hours. Afterwards, they will be renamed to "(logfile).yesterday".
# After 48 hours, they will be overwritten by the logfile of the next day.
#
# Events are logged by certain categories. This way, you can specify
# exactly what kind of events you want sent to various logfiles.
#
# Logfile flags:
# b - information about bot linking and userfile sharing
# c - commands
# d - misc debug information
# h - raw share traffic
# j - joins, parts, quits, and netsplits on the channel
# k - kicks, bans, and mode changes on the channel
# m - private msgs, notices and ctcps to the bot
# o - misc info, errors, etc (IMPORTANT STUFF)
# p - public text on the channel
# r - raw incoming server traffic
# s - server connects, disconnects, and notices
# t - raw botnet traffic
# v - raw outgoing server traffic
# w - wallops (make sure the bot sets +w in init-server)
# x - file transfers and file-area commands
#
# Note that modes d, h, r, t, and v can fill disk quotas quickly. There are
# also eight user-defined levels (1-8) which can be used by Tcl scripts.
#
# Each logfile belongs to a certain channel. Events of type 'k', 'j', and 'p'
# are logged to whatever channel they happened on. Most other events are
# currently logged to every channel. You can make a logfile belong to all
# channels by assigning it to channel "*".

# This is the maximum number of logfiles allowed. This setting can be
# increased; however, don't decrease it.
set max-logs 5

# This is the maximum size of your logfiles. Set it to 0 to disable.
# This value is in kilobytes, so '550' would mean cycle logs when it
# reaches the size of 550 kilobytes. Note that this only works if you
# have keep-all-logs 0 (OFF).
set max-logsize 0

# This could be good if you have had problem with the logfile filling
# your quota/hard disk or if you log +p and publish it to the web and
# need more up-to-date info. Note that this setting might increase the
# CPU usage of your bot (on the other hand it will decrease your mem usage).
set quick-logs 0

# This setting allows you the logging of raw incoming server traffic via
# console/log flag 'r', raw outgoing server traffic via console/log mode 'v',
# raw botnet traffic via console/log mode 't', and raw share traffic via
# console/log mode 'h'. These flags can create a large security hole,
# allowing people to see user passwords. This is now restricted to +n users
# only. Please choose your owners with care.
set raw-log 0

# This creates a logfile named eggdrop.log containing private msgs/ctcps,
# commands, errors, and misc. info from any channel.
logfile mco * "logs/eggdrop.log"

# This creates a logfile named lamest.log containing joins, parts,
# netsplits, kicks, bans, mode changes, and public chat on the
# channel #katrina-news
logfile jpk #katrina-news "logs/katrina-news.log"

# Use this feature to timestamp entries in the log file.
set log-time 1

# If you want to keep your logfiles forever, turn this setting on. All
# logfiles will get suffix ".[day, 2 digits][month, 3 letters][year, 4 digits]".
# Note that your quota/hard-disk might be filled by this, so check your
# logfiles often and download them.
set keep-all-logs 0

# If keep-all-logs is 1, this setting will define the suffix of the logfiles.
# The default will result in a suffix like "04May2000". "%Y%m%d" will produce
# the often used yyyymmdd format. Read the strftime manpages for more options.
# NOTE: On systems which don't support strftime, the default format will
# be used _always_.
set logfile-suffix ".%d%b%Y"

# You can specify when Eggdrop should switch logfiles and start fresh. You
# must use military time for this setting. 300 is the default, and describes
# 03:00 (AM).
set switch-logfiles-at 300

# "Writing user file..." and "Writing channel file..." messages won't be
# logged anymore if this option is enabled.
set quiet-save 0


##### CONSOLE #####

# This is the default console mode. It uses the same event flags as the log
# files do. The console channel is automatically set to your "primary" channel,
# which is set in the modules section of the config file. Masters can change
# their console channel and modes with the '.console' command.

set console "mkcobxs"


##### FILES AND DIRECTORIES #####

# Specify here the filename your userfile should be saved as.
set userfile "HelpDesk.user"

# Specify here the filename Eggdrop will save its pid to. If no pidfile is
# specified, pid.(botnet-nick) will be used.
#set pidfile "pid.HelpDesk"

# If you want your userfile to be sorted upon saving, enable this setting.
# This causes the bot to use bit more CPU when saving the usefile.
set sort-users 0

# Specify here where Eggdrop should look for help files. Don't modify this
# setting unless you know what you're doing!
set help-path "help/"

# Specify here where Eggdrop should look for text files. This is used for
# certain Tcl and DCC commands.
set text-path "text/"

# Set here a place to store temporary files.
set temp-path "tmp/"

# The MOTD (Message Of The day) is displayed when people dcc chat or telnet
# to the bot. Look at doc/TEXT-SUBSTITUTIONS for options.
set motd "text/motd"

# This banner will be displayed on telnet connections. Look at
# doc/TEXT-SUBSTITUTIONS for options.
set telnet-banner "text/banner"

# This specifies what permissions the user, channel, and notes files should
# be set to. The octal values are the same as for the chmod system command.
#
# To remind you:
#
# u g o u g o u g o
# 0600 rw------- 0400 r-------- 0200 -w------- u - user
# 0660 rw-rw---- 0440 r--r----- 0220 -w--w---- g - group
# 0666 rw-rw-rw- 0444 r--r--r-- 0222 -w--w--w- o - others
#
# Note that the default 0600 is the most secure one and should only be changed
# if you need your files for shell scripting or other external applications.
set userfile-perm 0600


##### BOTNET/DCC/TELNET #####

# Settings in this section should be unimportant for you until you deal
# with botnets (multiple Eggdrops connected together to maximize efficiency).
# You should read doc/BOTNET before modifying these settings.

# If you want to use a different nickname on the botnet than you use on
# IRC (i.e. if you're on an un-trusted botnet), un-comment the next line
# and set it to the nick you would like to use.
#set botnet-nick "HelpDesk"

# This opens a telnet port by which you and other bots can interact with the
# Eggdrop by telneting in.
#
# There are more options for the listen command in doc/tcl-commands.doc. Note
# that if you are running more than one bot on the same machine, you will want
# to space the telnet ports at LEAST 5 apart, although 10 is even better.
#
# Valid ports are typically anything between 1025 and 65535 assuming the
# port is not already in use.
#
# If you would like the bot to listen for users and bots in separate ports,
# use the following format:
#
# listen 3333 bots
# listen 4444 users
#
# If you wish to use only one port, use this format:
#
# listen 3333 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 6666 all

# This setting defines whether or not people can boot users on the Eggdrop
# from other bots in your botnet. Valid settings are:
# 0 - allow *no* outside boots
# 1 - allow boots from sharebots
# 2 - allow any boots
set remote-boots 2

# This setting prohibits remote bots from telling your Eggdrop to unlink from
# share bots.
set share-unlinks 1

# This setting will drop telnet connections not matching a known host. It
# greatly improves protection from IRCops, but makes it impossible to add
# hosts on limbo (NOIRC) bots or have NEW as a valid login.
set protect-telnet 0

# This setting will make the bot ignore DCC chat requests which appear to
# have bogus information on the grounds that the user may have been trying
# to make the bot connect to somewhere that will get it into trouble, or
# that the user has a broken client (like mIRC tends to do), in which case
# the connect wouldn't work anyway. It's suggested that you turn this on.
set dcc-sanitycheck 0

# This settings defines a time in seconds that the bot should wait before
# a dcc chat, telnet, or relay connection times out.
set ident-timeout 5

# Define here whether or not a +o user still needs the +p flag to dcc the bot.
set require-p 0

# If you want people allow to telnet in and type 'NEW' to become a new user,
# set this to 1. This is similar to the 'hello' msg command. The protect-telnet
# setting must be set to 0 to use this.
set open-telnets 0

# If you don't want Eggdrop to identify itself as an eggdrop on a telnet
# connection, set this setting to 1. Eggdrop will display 'Nickname' instead.
set stealth-telnets 0

# If you want Eggdrop to display a banner when telneting in, set this setting
# to 1. The telnet banner is set by 'set telnet-banner'.
set use-telnet-banner 0

# This settings defines a time in seconds that the bot should wait before
# a dcc chat, telnet, or relay connection times out.
set connect-timeout 15

# Specify here the number of lines to accept from a user on the partyline
# within 1 second before they are considered to be flooding and therefore
# get booted.
set dcc-flood-thr 3

# Define here how many telnet connection attempts in how many seconds from
# the same host constitute a flood. The correct format is Attempts:Seconds.
set telnet-flood 5:60

# If you want telnet-flood to apply even to +f users, set this setting to 1.
set paranoid-telnet-flood 1

# Set here the amount of seconds before giving up on hostname/address
# lookup (you might want to increase this if you are on a slow network).
set resolve-timeout 15


##### MORE ADVANCED SETTINGS #####

# Set this to your socks host if your Eggdrop sits behind a firewall. If
# you use a Sun "telnet passthru" firewall, prefix the host with a '!'.
#set firewall "!sun-barr.ebay:3666"

# If you have a NAT firewall (you box has an IP in one of the following
# ranges: 192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255, 172.16.0.0-172.31.255.255,
# 10.0.0.0-10.255.255.255 and your firewall transparently changes your
# address to a unique address for your box) or you have IP masquerading
# between you and the rest of the world, and /dcc chat, /ctcp chat or
# userfile sharing aren't working, enter your outside IP here. Do not
# enter anything for my-ip or my-hostname if you use this setting.
#set nat-ip "127.0.0.1"

# If you want all dcc file transfers to use a particular portrange either
# because you're behind a firewall, or for other security reasons, set it
# here.
#set reserved-portrange 2010:2020

# Set the time in minutes that temporary ignores should last.
set ignore-time 15

# Define here what Eggdrop considers 'hourly'. All calls to it, including such
# things as note notifying or userfile saving, are affected by this.
# For example:
#
# set hourly-updates 15
#
# The bot will save its userfile 15 minutes past every hour.
set hourly-updates 00

# Un-comment the next line and set the list of owners of the bot.
# You NEED to change this setting.
set owner "good"

# Who should a note be sent to when new users are learned?
set notify-newusers "$owner"

# Enter the flags that all new users should get by default. See '.help whois'
# on the partyline for a list of flags and their descriptions.
set default-flags "hpo"

# Enter all user-defined fields that should be displayed in a '.whois'.
# This will only be shown if the user has one of these extra fields.
# You might prefer to comment this out and use the userinfo1.0.tcl script
# which provides commands for changing all of these.
set whois-fields "url birthday"

# Enable this setting if you want your Eggdrop to die upon receiving a SIGHUP
# kill signal. Otherwise, the Eggdrop will just save its userfile and rehash.
set die-on-sighup 0

# Enable this setting if you want your Eggdrop to die upon receiving a SIGTERM
# kill signal. Otherwise, the Eggdrop will just save its userfile and rehash.
set die-on-sigterm 1

# Comment these two lines if you wish to enable the .tcl and .set commands.
# If you select your owners wisely, you should be okay enabling these.
unbind dcc n tcl *dcc:tcl
unbind dcc n set *dcc:set

# If you enable this setting, only permanent owners (owner setting) will be
# able to use .tcl and .set. Moreover, if you want only let permanent owners
# use .dump, then set this to 2.
set must-be-owner 1

# Comment out this line to add the 'simul' partyline command (owners can
# manipulate other people on the party line). Please select owners wisely
# and use this command ethically!
unbind dcc n simul *dcc:simul

# Set here the maximum number of dcc connections you will allow. You can
# increase this later, but never decrease it.
set max-dcc 50

# Enable this setting if you want +d & +k users to use commands bound as -|-.
set allow-dk-cmds 1

# If your Eggdrop rejects bots that actually have already disconnected from
# another hub, but the disconnect information has not yet spread over the
# botnet due to lag, use this setting. The bot will wait dupwait-timeout
# seconds before it checks again and then finally reject the bot.
set dupwait-timeout 5


##### MODULES #####

# Below are various settings for the modules included with Eggdrop.
# PLEASE READ AND EDIT THEM CAREFULLY, even if you're an old hand at
# Eggdrop, things change.

# This path specifies the path were Eggdrop should look for its modules.
# If you run the bot from the compilation directory, you will want to set
# this to "". If you use 'make install' (like all good kiddies do ;), this
# is a fine default. Otherwise, use your head :)
set mod-path "modules/"


#### DNS MODULE ####

# This module provides asynchronous dns support. This will avoid long
# periods where the bot just hangs there, waiting for a hostname to
# resolve, which will often let it timeout on all other connections.
loadmodule dns


#### CHANNELS MODULE ####

# This module provides channel related support for the bot. Without it,
# you won't be able to make the bot join a channel or save channel
# specific userfile information.
loadmodule channels

# Enter here the filename where dynamic channel settings are stored.
set chanfile "HelpDesk.chan"

# Set this setting to 1 if you want your bot to expire bans/exempts/invites set
# by other opped bots on the channel.
set force-expire 0

# Set this setting to 1 if you want your bot to share user greets with other
# bots on the channel if sharing user data.

#     0 Deop the user.
#     1 Deop the user and give them the +d flag for the channel.
#     2 Deop the user, give them the +d flag for the channel, and kick them.
#     3 Deop the user, give them the +d flag for the channel, kick, and ban them.
#
# ban-time 120
#   Set here how long temporary bans will last (in minutes). If you
#   set this setting to 0, the bot will never remove them.
#
# exempt-time 60
#   Set here how long temporary exempts will last (in minutes). If you
#   set this setting to 0, the bot will never remove them. The bot will
#   check the exempts every X minutes, but will not remove the exempt if
#   a ban is set on the channel that matches that exempt. Once the ban is
#   removed, then the exempt will be removed the next time the bot checks.
#   Please note that this is an IRCnet feature.
#
# invite-time 60
#   Set here how long temporary invites will last (in minutes). If you
#   set this setting to 0, the bot will never remove them. The bot will
#   check the invites every X minutes, but will not remove the invite if
#   a channel is set to +i. Once the channel is -i then the invite will be
#   removed the next time the bot checks. Please note that this is an IRCnet
#   feature.
#
# aop-delay (minimum:maximum)
# This is used for autoop, autohalfop, autovoice. If an op or voice joins a
# channel while another op or voice is pending, the bot will attempt to put
# both modes on one line.
#   aop-delay 0   No delay is used.
#   aop-delay X   An X second delay is used.
#   aop-delay X:Y A random delay between X and Y is used.
#
# need-op { putserv "PRIVMSG #katrina-news :op me cos i'm lame!" }
#    This setting will make the bot run the script enclosed in brackets
#    if it does not have ops. This must be shorter than 120 characters.
#    If you use scripts like getops.tcl or botnetop.tcl, you don't need
#    to set this setting.
#
# need-invite { putserv "PRIVMSG #katrina-news :let me in!" }
#    This setting will make the bot run the script enclosed in brackets
#    if it needs an invite to the channel. This must be shorter than 120
#    characters. If you use scripts like getops.tcl or botnetop.tcl, you
#    don't need to set this setting.
#
# need-key { putserv "PRIVMSG #katrina-news :let me in!" }
#    This setting will make the bot run the script enclosed in brackets
#    if it needs the key to the channel. This must be shorter than 120
#    characters. If you use scripts like getops.tcl or botnetop.tcl, you
#    don't need to set this setting
#
# need-unban { putserv "PRIVMSG #katrina-news :let me in!" }
#    This setting will make the bot run the script enclosed in brackets
#    if it needs to be unbanned on the channel. This must be shorter than
#    120 characters. If you use scripts like getops.tcl or botnetop.tcl,
#    you don't need to set this setting
#
# need-limit { putserv "PRIVMSG #katrina-news :let me in!" }
#    This setting will make the bot run the script enclosed in brackets
#    if it needs the limit to be raised on the channel. This must be
#    shorter than 120 characters. If you use scripts like getops.tcl or
#    botnetop.tcl, you don't need to set this setting
#
# flood-chan 10:60
#    Set here how many channel messages in how many seconds from one
#    host constitutes a flood. Setting this to 0 or 0:0 disables
#    flood protection for the channel.
#
# flood-deop 3:10
#    Set here how many deops in how many seconds from one host constitutes
#    a flood. Setting this to 0 or 0:0 disables deop flood protection for
#    the channel.
#
# flood-kick 3:10
#    Set here how many kicks in how many seconds from one host constitutes
#    a flood. Setting this to 0 or 0:0 disables kick flood protection for
#    the channel.
#
# flood-join 5:60
#    Set here how many joins in how many seconds from one host constitutes
#    a flood. Setting this to 0 or 0:0 disables join flood protection for
#    the channel.
#
# flood-ctcp 3:60
#    Set here how many channel ctcps in how many seconds from one host
#    constitutes a flood. Setting this to 0 or 0:0 disables ctcp flood
#    protection for the channel.
#
# flood-nick 5:60
#    Set here how many nick changes in how many seconds from one host
#    constitutes a flood. Setting this to 0 or 0:0 disables nick flood
#    protection for the channel.
#
# There are many different options for channels which you can
# define. They can be enabled or disabled using the channel set command by a
# plus or minus in front of them.
#
#   channel set #katrina-news +enforcebans +dynamicbans +userbans +dynamicexempts
#   channel set #katrina-news +userexempts +dynamicinvites +userinvites +protectops
#   channel set #katrina-news +protectfriends +statuslog +revenge -protecthalfops
#   channel set #katrina-news +revengebot +dontkickops +autovoice +autoop +autohalfop
#   channel set #katrina-news -bitch -secret -shared +greet +cycle
#
# A complete list of all available channel settings:
#
# enforcebans
#    When a ban is set, kick people who are on the channel and match
#    the ban?
#
# dynamicbans
#    Only activate bans on the channel when necessary? This keeps
#    the channel's ban list from getting excessively long. The bot
#    still remembers every ban, but it only activates a ban on the
#    channel when it sees someone join who matches that ban.
#
# userbans
#    Allow bans to be made by users directly? If turned off, the bot
#    will require all bans to be made through the bot's console.
#
# dynamicexempts
#    Only activate exempts on the channel when necessary? This keeps
#    the channel's exempt list from getting excessively long. The bot
#    still remembers every exempt, but it only activates a exempt on
#    the channel when it sees a ban set that matches the exempt. The
#    exempt remains active on the channel for as long as the ban is
#    still active.
#
# userexempts
#    Allow exempts to be made by users directly? If turned off, the
#    bot will require all exempts to be made through the bot's console.
#
# dynamicinvites
#    Only activate invites on the channel when necessary? This keeps
#    the channel's invite list from getting excessively long. The bot
#    still remembers every invite, but the invites are only activated
#    when the channel is set to invite only and a user joins after
#    requesting an invite. Once set, the invite remains until the
#    channel goes to -i.
#
# userinvites
#    Allow invites to be made by users directly? If turned off, the
#    bot will require all invites to be made through the bot's console.
#
# autoop
#    Op users with the +o flag as soon as they join the channel?
#    This is insecure and not recommended.
#
# autohalfop
#    Halfop users with the +l flag as soon as they join the channel?
#    This is insecure and not recommended.
#
# bitch
#    Only let users with +o) flag be opped on the channel?
#
# greet
#    Say a user's info line when they join the channel?
#
# protectops
#    Re-op a user with the +o flag if they get deopped?
#
# protecthalfops
#    Re-halfop a user with the +l flag if they get dehalfopped?
#
# protectfriends
#    Re-op a user with the +f flag if they get deopped?
#
# statuslog
#    Log the channel status line every 5 minutes? This shows the bot's
#    status on the channel (op, voice, etc.), the channel's modes, and
#    the number of +m/+o/+v/+n/+b/+e/+I users on the channel. A sample
#    status line follows:
#
#      [01:40] @#katrina-news (+istn) : [m/1 o/1 v/4 n/7 b/1 e/5 I/7]
#
# revenge
#    Remember people who deop/kick/ban the bot, valid ops, or friends
#    and punish them? Users with the +f flag are exempt from revenge.
#
# revengebot
#    This is similar to to the 'revenge' option, but it only triggers
#    if a bot gets deopped, kicked or banned.
#
# autovoice
#    Voice users with the +v flag when they join the channel?
#
# secret
#    Prevent this channel from being listed on the botnet?
#
# shared
#    Share channel-related user info for this channel?
#
# cycle
#    Cycle the channel when it has no ops?
#
# dontkickops
#    Do you want the bot not to be able to kick users who have the +o
#    flag, letting them kick-flood for instance to protect the channel
#    against clone attacks.
#
# inactive
#    This prevents the bot from joining the channel (or makes it leave
#    the channel if it is already there). It can be useful to make the
#    bot leave a channel without losing its settings, channel-specific
#    user flags, channel bans, and without affecting sharing.
#
# seen
#    Respond to seen requests in the channel?  The seen module must be
#    loaded for this to work.
#
# nodesynch
#    Allow non-ops to perform channel modes? This can stop the bot from
#    fighting with services such as ChanServ, or from kicking IRCops when
#    setting channel modes without having ops.
#
# Here is a shorter example:
#
#   channel add #katrina-news {
#     chanmode "+mntisl 1"
#     idle-kick 1
#   }
#   channel set #katrina-news +bitch +enforcebans -greet +revenge

#### SERVER MODULE ####

# This module provides the core server support. You have to load this
# if you want your bot to come on IRC. Not loading this is equivalent
# to the old NO_IRC define.
loadmodule server

# What is your network?
# 0 = EFnet
# 1 = IRCnet
# 2 = Undernet
# 3 = DALnet
# 4 = +e/+I/max-modes 20 Hybrid
# 5 = Others
set net-type 0

# Set the nick the bot uses on IRC, and on the botnet unless you specify a
# separate botnet-nick, here.
set nick "HelpDesk"

# Set the alternative nick which the bot uses on IRC if the nick specified
# by 'set nick' is unavailable. All '?' characters will be replaced by random
# numbers.
set altnick "HelpDesk2"

# Set what should be displayed in the real-name field for the bot on IRC.
set realname "/msg Help Desk hello"

# This is a Tcl script to be run immediately after connecting to a server.

}

# Set the default port which should be used if none is specified with
# '.jump' or in 'set servers'.
set default-port 6667

# This is the bot's server list. The bot will start at the first server listed,
# and cycle through them whenever it gets disconnected. You need to change these
# servers to YOUR network's servers.
#
# The format is:
# server[:port[:password]]
#
# Both the port and password fields are optional; however, if you want to set a
# password you must also set a port. If a port isn't specified it will default to
# your default-port setting.
set servers {
irc.blessed.net:6667
}

# This setting makes the bot try to get his original nickname back if its
# primary nickname is already in use.
set keep-nick 1

# Set this to 1 if you don't want your the bot to strip a leading '~' on
# user@hosts.
set strict-host 0

# This setting makes the bot squelch the error message when rejecting a DCC
# CHAT, SEND or message command. Normally, Eggdrop notifies the user that the
# command has been rejected because they don't have access. Note that sometimes
# IRC server operators detect bots that way.
set quiet-reject 1

# If you want your bot to answer lower case ctcp requests (non rfc-
# compliant), set this setting to 1. mIRC will do this, most other
# clients will not.
set lowercase-ctcp 0

# Set how many ctcps should be answered at once.
set answer-ctcp 3

# Set here how many msgs in how many seconds from one host constitutes
# a flood. If you set this to 0:0, msg flood protection will be disabled.
set flood-msg 5:60

# Set here how many ctcps in how many seconds from one host constitutes
# a flood. If you set this to 0:0, ctcp flood protection will be disabled.
set flood-ctcp 3:60

# This settings makes the bot cycle forever through the server list until
# it successfully connects to one.
set never-give-up 1

# This setting defines how long Eggdrop should wait before moving from one
# server to another on disconnect. If you set 0 here, Eggdrop will not wait
# at all and will connect instantly. Setting this too low could result in
# your bot being K:Lined.
set server-cycle-wait 60

# Set here how long Eggdrop should wait for a response when connecting to a
# server before giving up and moving on to next server.
set server-timeout 60

# If the number of servers on the net gets below this number, the bot
# will jump to a new server (it will assume it's on the losing end of
# a netsplit). Set this to 0 to turn off. If your bot is running on
# any major IRC network, this should probably be turned off.
set servlimit 0

# Set this to 1 if Eggdrop should check for stoned servers? (where the
# server connection has died, but Eggdrop hasn't been notified yet).
set check-stoned 1

# If you want your bot to exit the server if it receives an ERROR message,
# set this to 1.
set serverror-quit 1

# Set here the maximum number of lines to queue to the server. If you're
# going to dump large chunks of text to people over IRC, you will probably
# want to raise this. 300 is fine for most people though.
set max-queue-msg 300

# If you want Eggdrop to trigger binds for ignored users, set this to 1.
set trigger-on-ignore 0

# Allow identical messages in the mode queue?
set double-mode 1

# Allow identical messages in the server queue?
set double-server 1

# Allow identical messages in the help queue?
set double-help 1

# This optimizes the kick queue. It also traces nick changes and parts in
# the channel and changes the kick queue accordingly. There are three
# different options for this setting:
# 0 = Turn it off.
# 1 = Optimize the kick queue by summarizing kicks.
# 2 = Trace nick changes and parts on the channel and change the queue
# accordingly. For example, bot will not try to kick users who have
# already parted the channel.
# ATTENTION: Setting 2 is very CPU intensive.
set optimize-kicks 1

# If your network supports more recipients per command then 1, you can
# change this behavior here. Set this to the number of recipients per
# command, or set this to 0 for unlimited.
set stack-limit 4

### SERVER MODULE - OTHER NETWORKS (net-type 5) ###

# This settings defines how umode +r is understood by Eggdrop. Some networks
# use +r to indicate a restricted connection. If this is your case, and you
# want your bot to leave restricted servers and jump to the next server on its
# list, then set it to 1.
#set check-mode-r 1

# This setting allows you to specify the maximum nick-length supported by your
# network. The default setting is 9. The maximum supported length by Eggdrop
# is 32.
#set nick-len 9

#### CTCP MODULE ####

# This module provides the normal ctcp replies that you'd expect.
# Without it loaded, CTCP CHAT will not work. The server module
# is required for this module to function.
loadmodule ctcp

# Set here how the ctcp module should answer ctcps. There are 3 possible
# operating modes:
# 0: Normal behavior is used.
# 1: The bot ignores all ctcps, except for CHAT and PING requests
# by users with the +o flag.
# 2: Normal behavior is used, however the bot will not answer more
# than X ctcps in Y seconds (defined by 'set flood-ctcp').
set ctcp-mode 0

# There are also several variables to help make your bot less noticeable.
# They are: ctcp-version, ctcp-finger, and ctcp-userinfo. You can use set to set
# them to values you'd like.


#### IRC MODULE ####

# This module provides basic IRC support for your bot. You have to
# load this if you want your bot to come on IRC. The server and channels
# modules must be loaded for this module to function.
loadmodule irc

# Set this to 1 if you want to bounce all server bans.
set bounce-bans 1

# Set this to 1 if you want to bounce all server exemptions (+e modes).
# This is disabled if use-exempts is disabled.

# This is disabled if use-invites is disabled.
set bounce-invites 0

# Set this to 1 if you want to bounce all server modes.
set bounce-modes 0

# Set here the maximum number of bans you want the bot to set on a channel.
# Eggdrop will not place any more bans if this limit is reached. Undernet
# currently allows 45 bans, IRCnet allows 30, EFnet allows 100, and DALnet
# allows 100.

# Set here the maximum number of invites you want Eggdrop to set on a channel.
# Eggdrop will not place any more invites if this limit is reached.
set max-invites 20

# There is a global limit for +b/+e/+I modes. This limit should be set to
# the same value as max-bans for networks that do not support +e/+I.
set max-modes 30

# The following settings should be left commented unless the default values
# are being overridden. By default, exempts and invites are on for EFnet and
# IRCnet, but off for all other large networks. This behavior can be modified
# with the following 2 flags. If your network doesn't support +e/+I modes then
# you will be unable to use these features.
#
# Do you want to enable exempts (+e modes)?
#set use-exempts 0

# Do you want to enable invites (+I modes)?
#set use-invites 0

# Set this to 1 if you want the bot to kick for control character/ctcp
# avalanches to a channel. Remember that if it does, it won't ban them.
# This can start kick floods.
set kick-fun 0

# Set this to 1 if you want the bot to ban for control character/ctcp
# avalanches to a channel. This can prevent kick floods, but it also can
# fill the banlist.
set ban-fun 0

# If you want people to be able to add themselves to the bot's userlist
# with the default userflags (defined above in the config file) via the
# 'hello' msg command, set this to 1.
set learn-users 0

# Set here the time (in seconds) to wait for someone to return from a netsplit
# (i.e. wasop will expire afterwards). Set this to 1500 on IRCnet since its
# nick delay stops after 30 minutes.
set wait-split 600

# Set here the time (in seconds) that someone must have been off-channel
# before re-displaying their info line.
set wait-info 180

# Set this to the maximum number of bytes to send in the arguments
# of modes sent to the server. Most servers default this to 200.
set mode-buf-length 200

# Many IRCops find bots by seeing if they reply to 'hello' in a msg.
# You can change this to another word by un-commenting the following
# two lines and changing "myword" to the word wish to use instead of
# 'hello'. It must be a single word.
# unbind msg - hello *msg:hello
# bind msg - myword *msg:hello

# Many takeover attempts occur due to lame users blindly /msg ident'ing to
# the bot and attempting to guess passwords. We now unbind this command by
# default to discourage them. You can enable these commands by commenting the
# following two lines.
unbind msg - ident *msg:ident
unbind msg - addhost *msg:addhost

# Some IRC servers are using some non-standard op-like channel prefixes/modes.
# Define them here so the bot can recognize them. Just "@" should be fine for
# most networks. Un-comment the second line for some UnrealIRCds.

set opchars "@"
#set opchars "@&~"

# If you are so lame you want the bot to display peoples info lines, even
# when you are too lazy to add their chanrecs to a channel, set this to 1.
# *NOTE* This means *every* user with an info line will have their info
# line displayed on EVERY channel they join (provided they have been gone
# longer than wait-info).
set no-chanrec-info 0

### IRC MODULE - IRCnet SPECIFIC FEATURES (net-type 1) ###

# Attention: Use these settings *only* if you set 'net-type' to 1!

# At the moment, the current IRCnet IRCd version (2.10) doesn't support the
# mixing of b, o and v modes with e and I modes. This might be changed in the
# future, so use 1 at the moment for this setting.
set prevent-mixing 1

### IRC MODULE - OTHER NETWORKS (net-type 5) ###

# Attention: Use these settings *only* if you set 'net-type' to 5!

# If your network supports more users per kick command then 1, you can
# change this behavior here. Set this to the number of users to kick at
# once, or set this to 0 for all at once.
#set kick-method 1

# Some networks allow you to stack lots of channel modes into one line.
# They're all guaranteed to support at least 3, so that's the default.
# If you know your network supports more, you may want to adjust this.
# This setting is limited to 6, although if you want to use a higher value,
# you can modify this by changing the value of MODES_PER_LINE_MAX in
# src/chan.h and recompiling the bot.
#set modes-per-line 3

# Some networks don't include the +l limit and +k or -k key modes
# in the modes-per-line (see above) limitation. Set include-lk to 0 for
# these networks.
#set include-lk 1

# Set this to 1 if your network uses IRCu2.10.01 specific /who requests.
# Eggdrop can, therefore, ask only for exactly what's needed.
#set use-354 0

# If your network doesn't use rfc 1459 compliant string matching routines,
# set this to 0.
#set rfc-compliant 1


#### TRANSFER MODULE ####

# The transfer module provides DCC SEND/GET support and userfile transfer
# support for userfile sharing. Un-comment the next line to load it if you
# need this functionality.
#loadmodule transfer

# Set here the maximum number of simultaneous downloads to allow for
# each user.
set max-dloads 3

# Set here the block size for dcc transfers. ircII uses 512 bytes,
# but admits that it may be too small. 1024 is standard these days.
# 0 is turbo-dcc (recommended).
set dcc-block 0

# Enable this setting if you want to copy files into the /tmp directory
# before sending them. This is useful on most systems for file stability,
# but if your directories are NFS mounted, it's a pain, and you'll want
# to set this to 0. If you are low on disk space, you may also want to
# set this to 0.
set copy-to-tmp 1

# Set here the time (in seconds) to wait before an inactive transfer times out.
set xfer-timeout 30


#### SHARE MODULE ####

# This module provides userfile sharing support between two directly
# linked bots. The transfer and channels modules are required for this
# module to correctly function. Un-comment the following line to load
# the share module.
#loadmodule share

# Settings in this section must be un-commented before setting.

# When two bots get disconnected, this setting allows them to create a
# resync buffer which saves all changes done to the userfile during
# the disconnect. When they reconnect, they will not have to transfer
# the complete user file, but, instead, just send the resync buffer.
#
# NOTE: This has been known to cause loss of channel flags and other
# problems. Using this setting is not recommended.
#set allow-resync 0

# This setting specifies how long to hold another bots resync data
# before flushing it.
#set resync-time 900

# When sharing user lists, DON'T ACCEPT global flag changes from other bots?
# NOTE: The bot will still send changes made on the bot, it just won't accept
# any global flag changes from other bots. This overrides the private-globals
# setting (below).
#set private-global 0

# When sharing user lists, if private-global isn't set, which global flag
# changes from other bots should be ignored?
#set private-globals "mnot"

# When sharing user lists, don't accept ANY userfile changes from other
# bots? Paranoid people should use this feature on their hub bot. This
# will force all userlist changes to be made via the hub.
#set private-user 0

# This setting makes the bot discard its own bot records in favor of
# the ones sent by the hub.
# NOTE: No passwords or botflags are shared, only ports and
# address are added to sharing procedure. This only works with hubs that
# are v1.5.1 or higher.
#set override-bots 0


#### COMPRESS MODULE ####

# This module provides provides support for file compression. This allows the
# bot to transfer compressed user files and therefore save a significant amount
# of bandwidth. The share module must be loaded to load this module. Un-comment
# the following line to the compress module.
#loadmodule compress

# Allow compressed sending of user files? The user files are compressed with
# the compression level defined in `compress-level'.
set share-compressed 1

# This is the default compression level used. These levels are the same as
# those used by GNU gzip.
#set compress-level 9


#### FILESYSTEM MODULE ####

# This module provides an area within the bot where users can store and
# manage files. With this module, the bot is usable as a file server. The
# transfer module is required for this module to function. Un-comment
# the following line to load the filesys module.
#loadmodule filesys

# Set here the 'root' directory for the file system.
set files-path "/home/mydir/filesys"

# If you want to allow uploads, set this to the directory uploads
# should be put into. Set this to "" if you don't want people to
# upload files to your bot.
set incoming-path "/home/mydir/filesys/incoming"

# If you don't want to have a central incoming directory, but instead
# want uploads to go to the current directory that a user is in, set
# this setting to 1.
set upload-to-pwd 0

# Eggdrop creates a '.filedb' file in each subdirectory of your file area
# to keep track of its own file system information. If you can't do that (for
# example, if the dcc path isn't owned by you, or you just don't want it to do
# that) specify a path here where you'd like all of the database files to be
# stored instead.
set filedb-path ""

# Set here the maximum number of people that can be in the file area at once.
# Setting this to 0 makes it effectively infinite.
set max-file-users 20

# Set here the maximum allowable file size that will be received (in KB).
# Setting this to 0 makes it effectively infinite.
set max-filesize 1024


#### NOTES MODULE ####

# This module provides support for storing of notes for users from each other.
# Note sending between currently online users is supported in the core, this is
# only for storing the notes for later retrieval.
loadmodule notes

# Set here the filename where private notes between users are stored.
set notefile "LamestBot.notes"

# Set here the maximum number of notes to allow to be stored for each user
# (to prevent flooding).
set max-notes 50

# Set here how long (in days) to store notes before expiring them.
set note-life 60

# Set this to 1 if you want to allow users to specify a forwarding address
# for forwarding notes to another account on another bot.
set allow-fwd 0

# Set this to 1 if you want the bot to let people know hourly if they have
# any notes.
set notify-users 1

# Set this to 1 if you want the bot to let people know on join if they have
# any notes.
set notify-onjoin 1

# Comment out this next line. Otherwise, your bot won't start.
# die "You didn't edit your config file completely like you were told, did you?"


#### CONSOLE MODULE ####

# This module provides storage of console settings when you exit the
# bot or type .store on the partyline.
loadmodule console

# Save users console settings automatically? Otherwise, they have
# to use the .store command.
set console-autosave 1

# If a user doesn't have any console settings saved, which channel
# do you want them automatically put on?
set force-channel 0

# Enable this setting if a user's global info line should be displayed
# when they join a botnet channel.
set info-party 0


#### WOOBIE MODULE ####

# This is for demonstrative purposes only. If you are looking for starting
# point in writing modules, woobie is the right thing.
#loadmodule woobie


#### SEEN MODULE ####

# This module provides very basic seen commands via msg, on channel or via dcc.
# This module works only for users in the bot's userlist. If you are looking for
# a better and more advanced seen module, try the gseen module by G'Quann. You
# can find it at http://www.visions-of-fantasy.de/gseen.mod/.
#loadmodule seen


#### BLOWFISH MODULE ####

# IF YOU DON'T READ THIS YOU MAY RENDER YOUR USERFILE USELESS LATER
# Eggdrop encrypts its userfile, so users can have secure passwords.
# Please note that when you change your encryption method later (i.e.
# using other modules like a md5 module), you can't use your current
# userfile anymore. Eggdrop will not start without an encryption module.
loadmodule blowfish


#### ASSOC MODULE ####

# This module provides assoc support, i.e. naming channels on the botnet.
# You can load it by un-commenting the following line.
#loadmodule assoc


#### WIRE MODULE ####

# This module provides all the standard .wire commands via dcc. It is an
# encrypted partyline communication tool, compatible with wire.tcl. An
# encryption module must be loaded to use this module. Un-comment the
# following line to load the wire module.
#loadmodule wire

#### UPTIME MODULE ####

# This module reports uptime statistics to http://uptime.eggheads.org.
# Go look and see what your uptime is! It takes about 9 hours to show up,
# so if your bot isn't listed, try again later. The server module must be
# loaded for this module to function.
#
# Information sent to the server includes the bot's uptime, botnet-nick,
# server, version, and IP address. This information is stored in a temporary
# logfile for debugging purposes only. The only publicly available information
# will be the bot's botnet-nick, version and uptime. If you do not wish for this
# information to be sent, comment out the following line.
loadmodule uptime

##### SCRIPTS #####

# This is a good place to load scripts to use with your bot.

# This line loads script.tcl from the scripts directory inside your Eggdrop's
# directory. All scripts should be put there, although you can place them where
# you like as long as you can supply a fully qualified path to them.
#
# source scripts/script.tcl

source scripts/alltools.tcl
source scripts/action.fix.tcl

# Use this script for Tcl and Eggdrop downwards compatibility.
# NOTE: This can also cause problems with some newer scripts.
source scripts/compat.tcl

# This script provides many useful informational functions, like setting
# users' URLs, e-mail address, ICQ numbers, etc. You can modify it to add
# extra entries.
source scripts/userinfo.tcl
loadhelp userinfo.help

# Script: Greetd.tcl
# Version: 0.05b
# Author: Jeff Fisher <fishy@dlcwest.com>
#
# Updates:
# 12Feb98 - can now select delay time (idea by Angelos7)
#
# Notes:
#
# - can do multi-channel multi-lined greet msgs
# - can either msg all users or just non-users
# - will only show the greet to one identd or non-identd within 2min
# or whatever you change the time level too ...
#

# Who to show?
# 0 = all users
# 1 = non-users
set greetd(show) 1

well, you have 'o' logging flag enabled, so my script should be able to log errors; if there is none in the logfile, as I said, I can't help you further - your feeds work fine for me

[good]

Maybe you could DCC me the file you are using to test my feeds out through IRC. It might work that way.

[good]

IT'S WORKING!

[good]

Ok, it works when I put !rss *. It lists one headline. But it does not scroll the headline unless I say that.

EDIT: It worked once with the NOLA feed I had. It scrolled one headline when I said !rss *. But now that I changed the feeds, it's back to the same error.

EDIT EDIT: It's also working with this feed. It just takes a sec to recognize it. But doesn't scroll the headlines unless I type !rss *.

[demond]

what file? I use the same script, I also have 'o' logging enabled - anything else is irrelevant

if you are absolutely sure there is no errors in the log, try from bot's partyline (you must have 'o' console flag):

Code: Select all

.tcl ::rssnews::timer 3 x x x x

and see what happens

also, as you were already told, don't include scripts in your config as source text, include them using source command as shown:

Code: Select all

# This line loads script.tcl from the scripts directory inside your Eggdrop's
# directory. All scripts should be put there, although you can place them where
# you like as long as you can supply a fully qualified path to them.
#
# source scripts/script.tcl 

[good]

Ok. Now that I have it working, I just have a few more questions.

1. How would I get it to list the headlines without me saying !rss *?
2. When I get that, how would I make it say the headline like this: [source] [headline] [permalink]


I'd also like to thank you for all of your help. Putting up with a newbie isn't easy. I'm sure of it!

[demond]

1. there are 2 kinds of bot responses - 1) triggered by events - like saying !rss and 2) periodic, fired up by timer - and I deem pointless spitting out all headlines periodically

2. by patching the script to show output in the format desired by you

So, sorry to say that that, but I'm not interested in implementing neither 1. nor 2. (but you could of course find someone else interested in doing that for you, or even better, learn some Tcl and do it yourself)

[good]

So when you say fired up by the timer, you mean they run as they come in?

[demond]

the announcing (saying only NEW, not all available, headlines) works in the following fashion: 1) every X minutes, where X is defined by you (in your case 3 minutes), the script tries to connect to the corresponding RSS feed source and 2) if there are NEW headlines available there, show them on corresponding to that feed channel

in essence, that means the bot will let the channel know about NEW headlines as soon as they are available (with a maximum X minutes delay)
