botnet and seen

Post by douceur »

Hi. I've just started messing around with eggdrop bots and botnets and the like and was curious about something. I have a few bots on the same channel, all of which are on the same botnet. They all also running the gseen module. Is there a way that I can designate that only one of them should actually answer seen requests? I mean, I would like them to communicate as far as what to actually say, but I don't need them all answering in the channel.

Thanks.

ya, just have the gseen tcl installed on one bot.
also, you can set it so the bot will send a notice for a seen result, instead of constantly filling up the channel

Copied from gseen.conf

# forward a request to other bots, if a !seen returned no result?
set botnet-seens 1

# channels where you do not want your bot to reply to public queries
set no-pub-seens ""[/b]

Aha! I totally missed that. Thanks a lot.

Erm.. I've changed it to this:

set no-pub-seens "#mychannel"

Yet the bot still replies to seen requests in #mychannel. Is there something I'm doing wrong? This is little to no documentation over it..

Gseen comes with a README file that while in need of a serious facelift, still contains all the needed info. I believe if you try to use the following variables with the .chanset command, your problems will be solved, providing, of course, that you have loaded it correctly :wink:

Channel Settings:
-----------------

+noseendata
don't log any seen data in this channel
+quietseens
send answers directly via notice to the person who asked and
don't bother the rest of the channel with the reply
+quietaiseens
same as +quietseens, but for AI seens
+nopubseens
ignore every seen-command in this channel

.chanset #yourchannel +nopubseens is probably the command that you are missing.
