[SOLVED] Tcl error in file at startup

[Landslyde]

I just installed eggdrop 1.6.21 and tcl8.6.1 on a Debian 7.0 VPS. Everything was smooth until I tried to run it. It seems I'm missing a file: eggdrop/scripts/script.tcl

Code: Select all

./eggdrop -m stryker.conf

[21:45:19] * CONFIG FILE NOT LOADED (NOT FOUND, OR ERROR)

script.tcl is an installation file. It wasn't there. So I removed the eggdrop dir and re-installed eggdrop1.6.21. And the file was missing from the installation again. I can comment out the line that loads this file and the bot runs. But why am I missing an install file?

Not sure what am I doing wrong, guys? I've been fighting this all day long. Crazy!

Thanks for your time.

UPDATE: I created script.tcl, uploaded it, and I'm up and running. But I still don't feel 100% about having to do it that way.

Examine your eggdrop.conf. ( looks like it is stryker.conf )

Compare to the example found here:
http://eggwiki.org/Eggdrop.conf

On that webpage, text search for:
script.tcl
You'll find a section that begins:
"# This is a good place to load scripts to use with your bot."

In that section is an example line:
# source scripts/script.tcl

You mentioned that you can comment it out in yours, and the bot runs fine.
I suspect that somehow in your stryker.conf that line got un-commented.
It is supposed to be commented out. It is just an example.

As for:

script.tcl is an installation file.

I don't know yet why you feel that it is.
Why?

Because I got in a hurry. I made a mistake. Thank you for clarifying my error; it makes me feel better now knowing I'm not missing a file. I didn't take my time when uncommenting.

Now I'm working on getting the bot to respond to me. I'm sure I'll find this answer in the forum archives.

Thanks for your help, willyw.

Welcome to the human race.

That's a good place to hunt for information.

Thanks for your help, willyw.
