Egg 1.6.12 DCC File Transfer

Fluxism · Post by **Fluxism** » Mon Aug 05, 2002 9:32 am

Hi all, couple of questions for you about DCC and my bot,

Firstly when some ppl trt to DCC chat it, they get a "unable to create socket". What does this mean, is there anything I can tell them to do to their IRC client (or anything I can do bot side) to resolve this? To get them onto the partyline I tell them to use /ctcp bot CHAT... Which works I guess, but I'd still like to know why DCC doesn't work.

Secondly, I've set the bot up as a file server, so users can d/l maps etc. Everyone can join the file section and get a list of all the files, then request a file with get CTF-andACTION.zip for example, the bot says its sending a file, but a confirmation accept dialogue never pops up, putting the DCC send on auto accept doesnt resolve it either, nor does accepting all file types. Below is the partyline output from a failed send..

-14:25:22- <Boss> *** oxo has left: file system
-14:25:26- <Boss> [14:26] files: #oxo# ls
-14:26:58- <Boss> [14:27] Begin DCC send CTF-HiGuys!.zip to oxo
-14:26:58- <Boss> [14:27] files: #oxo# get CTF-HiGuys!.zip
-14:27:34- <Boss> [14:28] DCC timeout: GET CTF-HiGuys!.zip (oxo) at 0/58375

It's a small file, so should have been send in a matter of seconds...

Any help / advise / comments like "DOH Homer! do this!" will be greatly appreciated, Thanks.

ps, DCC send from another user works fine for me, but not from the bot

Has this only affected your use with 1.6.12? Or are other versions giving you trouble?

If other versions where fine, did you make any changes to your config file between versions? If so, where any of these related to sockets, netowrk connections, ports, timeouts or anything else int he like.

Have you tried turning on more console flags, to see what other errors are occuring?

ppslim,

This is the first time I have tried using the bot as a file server, and its a fresh install of less than a week old.

What exra console flag would you suggest I use to get more specific reporting on this?

As you can see it worked for some1 yet not for another, so far only 2 users have managed to d/l file via the bot, its seems very tempramental.

Any futher ideas ppslim?

Try experimenting with different nicknames.

It looks like the nickname the file is being sent to, is causing some problems.
