egg+psybnc - different nicks on different networks - how

[eggdropout]

I am using egdrop 1.6.17 + latest version of psybnc (eggdrop connect to psybnc locally). Now I know psybnc supports different nicks on different networks, and nicks can be changed by typing /nick networkprefix'newnick to change nick on specified network.

Ok, but how to make the eggdrop issue this command? I tried .nick through telnet but it seems to change my handle and not bot's nick. In eggdrop.conf there's only one option for nickname, so i guess ill have to make the bot automatically change nicks and not allow him to force default nick on all networks (because mIRC seems to be doing this - on reconnect it changes all nicks to default nick so one has to change nicks on every restart of mIRC).

Or maybe force the psybnc to use a certain nick for a certain network and not listen to eggdrop, but how?

Hope someone will be able to help.

the thing you are looking for is called "init-server" and is within the .conf file. However you will need to now basics about the IRC protocol to use it right.

That's what I got in my .ini file:

Code: Select all

# This is a Tcl script to be run immediately after connecting to a server.
bind evnt - init-server evnt:init_server

proc evnt:init_server {type} {
  global botnick
  putquick "MODE $botnick +ih-ws"
}

Now, I tried this:

Code: Select all

putquick "NICK prefix'newbotnick"

The bot did change nick, but not immediately, like two seconds after it joined channel on that network. Also I had to do bquit and bconnect to make it execute the init script

well, when the nickchange is being initialized is a psybnc thing. the bot will send it right after login to IRC (meaning as soon the BNC send the cached welcome, MOTD, etc.). As you can figure it triggers only when the bot connects to the bnc and not when the bnc actually connects to IRC.
