Please help, netbots not working :(

[duckdown]

Hi all.. I still haven't gotten demond's RSS announcer to work, but in the meantime, I tried to load "netbots1.16.tcl" onto my bot so they could do mass things (like mass join/part, mass say, etc.)

and I have the EXACT same tcl loaded on each of my bots, but they aren't doing what I want them to do.

I get no errors, and it shows that the script is loaded.

<stingah> [16:54] Loaded netbots.tcl v1.16 by slennox

It also is loaded on each bot. stingah is the HUB bot so I figured I should try everything from there.

I have tried various ways to make them join a channel:

<duckdown> .nethelp netjoin
<stingah> [16:48] #duckdown# nethelp netjoin
<stingah> # .netjoin <#channel>
<stingah> Adds the specified channel to all netbots.
<duckdown> .netjoin #test
<stingah> [16:48] #duckdown# netjoin #test
<stingah> Adding channel #test to netbots.

That only had the 'stingah' bot that I said it on join the channel, so I figured I must have to add each bot to the list somehow.

<duckdown> .netinfo
<stingah> [16:48] #duckdown# netinfo
<stingah> stingah is running netbots.tcl v1.16
<duckdown> .netbots add airfoil
<stingah> [16:49] #duckdown# netbots add airfoil
<stingah> Added airfoil to netbot list.
<duckdown> .netbots add chlorate
<stingah> [16:49] #duckdown# netbots add chlorate
<stingah> Added chlorate to netbot list.
<duckdown> .netbots add bios_fear
<stingah> [16:49] #duckdown# netbots add bios_fear
<stingah> Added bios_fear to netbot list.
<duckdown> .netbots add fulminate
<stingah> [16:49] #duckdown# netbots add fulminate
<stingah> Added fulminate to netbot list.
<duckdown> .netbots add semtex
<stingah> [16:49] #duckdown# netbots add semtex
<stingah> Added semtex to netbot list.
<duckdown> .netinfo
<stingah> [16:49] #duckdown# netinfo
<stingah> stingah is running netbots.tcl v1.16
<duckdown> .netjoin #test
<stingah> [16:49] #duckdown# netjoin #test
<stingah> Adding channel #test to netbots.

But only one damn bot is joining the channel still!
What is going on, what am I doing wrong?

<duckdown> .netbots
<stingah> [16:50] #duckdown# netbots
<stingah> Current netbots: semtex, airfoil, chlorate, fulminate, BIOS_Fear (all netbots are online and linked).

Can anyone lend me a hand please

Thanks all

you prolly lack the netbots botflag set on all bots; or maybe you need to add the controlling bot to some list common to all bots - I vaguely recall something like that in netbots config, haven't used netbots for a long while

or you could try my script rconsole which also allows you to control a botnet remotely, without limitations in command usage, in decentralized fashion (no need of controlling hub bot)
