Interaction question

[DustWolf]

Hello,

I hope I picked the right forum for this.

I am trying to allow remote access to an EggDrop from a non-EggDrop application. To do this I use a modified telnet client to connect to the EggDrop's "bots" port.

The problem is that the moment I connect, nothing happens. The owner of the EggDrop tells me there is some communication taking place but I do not know (nor does he) what exactly does the EggDrop I connected to expect from my application.

Can anyone please point me to any resources that would help me with this?

Use the tcl/eggdrop command 'control'.

ex:

Code: Select all

set openport [listen 4567 script init:connection]

proc init:connection {idx} {
 # Send back 'connected' so you know you have a connection.
 putidx $idx "CONNECTED"
 control $idx init:connection
}

proc open:connection {idx var} {
 # do yer thing here
}

See tcl-commands.doc for details.

Where do I use this code and where do I get tcl-commands.doc?

TCL (Tool Command Language) scripts are used by eggdrop (loaded via configuration file) and can also be used by X-Chat (with TCL plugin) under Linux.

tcl-commands.doc is a list of eggdrop-specific tcl commands, and it comes with eggdrop. Look in the docs/ dir.
