invite script

BlasterHacker · Post by **BlasterHacker** » Wed Jan 22, 2003 1:48 pm

iam looking for a tcl wich can read a file with users and passwords.
a user (who is not in the userfile of the egg) must sent "/msg botname invite username password" and the bot should then invite to a channel if the pasword matches the username in the file. i've been looking for a tcl wich does that but i didnt had any luck. i also tried to write it myself but that turned out te be a disaster

. hope you guys can help me.

you know that eggdrop does something simular by default, right?

/msg bot invite passwd #chan

works aslong as the user has appropriate flags on #chan

yes but then i have to add every user in the eggdrop. and they just need to be in a file, so i can edit them quickly and not always add or remove users thru eggdrop

My guess is, that he wants to allows users to invite himself, without having to give them too many permissions.

This isn't currently possible with the existing message command.

thats it. i dont wont to add these users in eggdrop itself. just in a file. you say its not possible. strange, there are tcl scripts for glftpd that read the user and pass from the glftpd config and invite them if its correct. but i dont want to use glftpd for that.

hmm, your right i think. downloaded some of those scripts. they all work with and extern c program.

ppslim meant it isnt possible with the "msg bot invite pass #chan" msg command (i think).

it should be very possible to make a tcl doing what you want.

personally i would consider adding users to the bot with a custom flag (A....Z) and writing whatever procs to check around that.

but then i would have to give them the o flag. or do i need to rebind the invite command with a new flag?

no you would not have to give them the o flag. you give them a custom flag ( A-Z ) these are user defined. you could for example give +R.

unbind msg - invite *msg:invite
bind msg R|R invite msg:yourinviteproc

now you write the procedure msg:yourinviteproc which basically
does some matchattr'ing.

The current built in invite command, uses a bind of "Global or channel OP".

Within the command itself (the fuzzy logic bit), it does checks on hlaf-op users.

If it's only for inviting, I would say even half-ops have too many permissions.

When I said it wasn't possible, I didn't mean over all. I was replying to the first rpely. Mainly for the reason, it meant users may have more permissions than you are willing to give.

The therory behind a script implimentation is sound though.

The glftpd script, from what I remember, will connect to the FTPD server, and try to login to the server. If it fails, the user isn't valid.
