Average hops: 1.0, total bots: 13

That is my setup at the moment, all thme eggs on 2 shell companys on 3 servers. 4egg/server1 3egg/server2 3egg/server3 3egg/server3

I have just order another 4bg package from somewhere else and wish to make another hub just incase xxxnet go's down.

What is the best way around this?

using netbots btw and all bots share global flags (learnt botlink with egghelp botlink tutorial.)

this is what i have been doing

Code: Select all

HUB
.+bot leafnick
.chattr leafnick +fo
.botattr leafnick +s
.botattr leafnick +g
.netbots add leafnick

Leaf
.+bot hub adress:port
.chattr hub +fo
.botattr hub +p
.botattr hub +g
.botattr hub +h
.netbots add hub

botattr <nickname> [attributes] [channel]
Lets you view and change the attributes (flags) field for a bot.

a alternate (bot is auto-linked if no hub bots can be linked)
In all leaf bots, type .botattr <alternate hub> +a

Try .help, amazing what is right there.

yeah figured that bit.

now when hub 1 gos down.

a set leaf becomes hub2(this guy dont share or anything, he just sits there as a temporary hub so the other leafs can connect to him for the botnet for requesting ops becuz hub1 is down which leaves these leafs with no botnet)

so i set +a on other leafs to Set-leaf that turns into hub2..

they cant connect because of wrong password...

why is that?

my leaf(hub2) and hub1 connect fine without any password error but when leafs conect with leaf(hub2) password error.

All netset.tcl are the same, including the nb_key...

I can fix this by doing, "chpass botname" on hub2 and leafs then they link... but what about the nb_key...does that not work anymore...?

.chpass on both bots, then let them link. they will set thier own passwords.

.botattr +a alternate_hub, not to be confused with .chattr +a, which is a bad idea all around.
