How to get the IP of my bot?

[doggo18]

I need to grab the IP of my bot in TCL so it can refer you to the stats pages its generating... how?

thanks!

[ppslim]

in the script that dsplays the IP. Make sure the "my-ip" variable is global, and use it's value to refeer users.

[doggo18]

yes but the problem is the -...
if i do $[my-ip] it says no such command "my-ip"

without [] its nu such variable: $my

plz help

${my-ip}

[doggo18]

tried that... result was empty... :/

[doggo18]

is there another variable what holds the IP perhaps?

[ppslim]

No, this is the only variable that hold the IP - if this is empty, then you have not setup your bot correctly in the first place.

Read over your config file.

ive set it up correctly for as far i can tell... It does connect to the network, accepts DCCs, all commands work fine...
And it doesnt say anywhere i have to set it myself...

Sorry admin for the new topic

[ppslim]

Without "my-ip" being set in the config file, there are no simple ways to detect the IP of the machine.

but how in earth am i gonna find out my IP with a dynamic IP then thru my bot??

Else, give me the hardway... Like a way that extracts the IP from eth0 on connect...

[RedAlert]

This would be *extremely* ugly but if you're running Linux and you KNOW you are gonna use the IP from eth0, you could do something like

Code: Select all

set my-ip [exec /sbin/ifconfig eth0 | grep inet | head -1 | cut -d: -f2 | cut -d  -f1]

which would set the IP using ifconfig (note that you could also do the manipulation of the output using TCL). Typically the if-everything-else-fails kind of solution...

The command myip will return your ip.
example: putlog [myip]

[Wcc]

You can get the IP of your bot with the following code:

Code: Select all

proc getrealip {} {
  binary scan [binary format I [myip]] cccc a b c d
  return [format %d.%d.%d.%d [expr $a&255] [expr $b&255] [expr $c&255] [expr $d&255]]
}

Code: Select all
