Eggdrop help please. Config file not found

marvz · Post by **marvz** » Fri Jun 18, 2010 3:08 pm

So I'm trying to setup my eggdrop but when it comes to starting the bot for the first time I get this when i type in the startup command in terminal. ./eggdrop -m beersnob.conf

Code: Select all

Eggdrop v1.6.19+ctcpfix (C) 1997 Robey Pointer (C) 2008 Eggheads
[11:49] --- Loading eggdrop v1.6.19+ctcpfix (Fri Jun 18 2010)
[11:49] * CONFIG FILE NOT LOADED (NOT FOUND, OR ERROR)

I went through the config file and renamed it. As far as I can tell I did what the instructions told me. Any help is greatly appreciated! I'm on osx 10.6.3 if that helps.

Please doublecheck that the config-file resides in the directory where you installed your eggdrop, and that the filename matches to the letter and case.

The config file is located in the correct place and case match. I tried one more time and got this

Looks like it sees it now but there is an issue now.

When adding channels through your config-file, use "channel add", not "channel set".

marvz · Post by **marvz** » Fri Jun 18, 2010 3:44 pm

This is what I have set. All I did was change the chan name and remove the hash tags. The rest is the default on the config file

Code: Select all

# 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 #spf +enforcebans +dynamicbans +userbans +dynamicexempts
channel set #spf +userexempts +dynamicinvites +userinvites +protectops
channel set #spf +protectfriends +statuslog +revenge -protecthalfops
channel set #spf +revengebot +dontkickops +autovoice -autoop -autohalfop
channel set #spf -bitch -secret -shared -greet +cycle

Am I supposed to use this instead of removing the hash marks like I did above?

Code: Select all

#
# Here is a shorter example:
#
#   channel add #botcentral {
#     chanmode "+mntisl 1"
#     idle-kick 1
#   }
#   channel set #botcentral +bitch +enforcebans -greet +revenge

Yes. You can use the "channel set" command once the channel has been added using "channel add" though.

Ok, I did that and its connected but I don't see it in the Chan or server.

Sorry for all the questions. I'm just new to this.

Stop the bot from running, and restart it with this command:

Code: Select all

./eggdrop -ntm beersnob.conf

If you now see your bot online, you've most likely got an issue with threaded tcl (you'll find numerous posts regarding this on the forum).

marvz · Post by **marvz** » Sat Jun 19, 2010 12:00 am

It worked and the bot showed up in the chan and let me set myself up as the master acct. But now I tried loading it again via the terminal command and it doesn't load. it says that the location/eggdrop is a directory...

Post by **nml375** » Sat Jun 19, 2010 1:24 pm

Then you are most likely trying to start it from the wrong directory..
try cd eggdrop; ./eggdrop beersnob.conf or such...

marvz · Post by **marvz** » Sat Jun 19, 2010 1:25 pm

Ok, I did the tcl mod to the config.h doc.

The thing that I find odd is that the config.h file was in the downloads folder rather than in the eggdrop directory. Would this be a problem that is causing this? I'm still unable to load the bot in any of the modes.

I read the threads that I found through search and did the mods that you suggested. I'm begining to thing that the problem may be the directory being wrong? Maybe I'm missing some files somewhere. Its just odd to me that the bot ran when I did what you told me to do in the previous post but now its not even loading. Should I just start again from scratch and save the copies of the modified conf.h and config files?

Post by **nml375** » Sat Jun 19, 2010 1:31 pm

The config.h file is a "header" or "include"-file, which is only used during compilation. That is why you only find it in the source location, not the directory where you later installed the eggdrop.
Thus, if you edit this file, you'll have to recompile (make confing; make) and reinstall (make install) your eggdrop. Be adviced that you should not run the ./configure-script after you've edited this file though, as it'll overwrite any changes you've done.

As for locations, the source usually unpacks into a directory called "eggdrop1.6.19" (depending on the version number), while the compiled binary gets installed in "~/eggdrop" unless you specify a different location. You are probably trying to start your eggdrop from "~/" (your home directory), and hence "eggdrop" is indeed a directory, not an executable file.

Ok, I did the mod and the bot is in irc. The only way I can get the bot to run is like this:

I did the mods to the config.h file like your previous thread/post said. When I tried to dcc chat with the bot it cancels the chat. also, none of the commands seem to work (.help, !seen etc...).

One thing that I noticed is that when I used my own nick in the room through snak and used the !seen trigger for certain nicks the terminal showed what the nicks typed but ignored all the other nicks typing something. I can't get the bot to communicate with the room just sit there and idle.

Post by **nml375** » Sat Jun 19, 2010 3:28 pm

First off, like the log said: drop the -m

Code: Select all

USERFILE ALREADY EXISTS (drop the '-m')

Next, unless you've added some scripts on your own, there would be no public commands. Therefore, typing .help in the channel would not trigger any actions.

For msg commands, start with /msg yourbot HELP

Regarding DCC chat, try /ctcp yourbot chat
Also see if you get any log messages for either /dcc chat or /ctcp chat in the console window.

Looks like its working now. Thank you very much!

I do have one question though, will I be able to use my bot to chat as well or will it strictly stay in the room and run commands/scripts I load into it? I recall a long time ago a user in a chan used to use the bot to chat through his terminal. I searched and didn't find anything similar. Maybe I'm just not using the right parameters.

Thanks in advance!
