Willi · Post by **Willi** » Sun Sep 26, 2004 7:13 am

Hi,

just installed eggdrop on my debian woody via "apt-get install eggdrop", I can start the bot without any error messages but the bot simply doesn't appear in my irc channel.

this is the output of /usr/bin/eggdrop -m -n /usr/lib/eggdrop/eggdrop.conf:

Hello,

Look at your eggdrop.conf
And try to type this at your partyline:

.+join #chan
.+chan #chan

Try something like this..
I hope it helps

Greets&Thx

I don't have a partyline the bot doesn't appear in the channel!!!

the channel part in my eggdrop.conf:

channel add #test {
chanmode "+nrt 1"
idle-kick 1
}
channel set #test +bitch +enforcebans +greet +revenge

* Every owner has partyline access.

- DCC to the bot.
- Supply your owner password.
- When you are logged in dcc (partyline) type: .+chan #channel

Willi · Post by **Willi** » Sun Sep 26, 2004 8:24 am

how can I dcc to the bot if he isn't in my channel?

[R] · Post by **[R]** » Sun Sep 26, 2004 8:25 am

Hello,

Dont DCC .. try telnet its much better than DCC..
because ur irc client can have some errors.

awyeah · Post by **awyeah** » Sun Sep 26, 2004 8:34 am

You can send a DCC request and chat with it even if its not on a single channel, it just needs to be on IRC.

I don't think you clearly understand the DCC protocol or are a new IRC user yourself.

If bot is on irc, just type /ctcp botnick chat (this will open dcc chat) or just telnet to it...

ok dcc chat doesn't work:

Hello,

check you userfile & confs...
80% of eggdrop problems are bad configurations...
be carefully with your configuration.

Willi · Post by **Willi** » Sun Sep 26, 2004 9:01 am

great tip....I already checked my conf 100 times!!

and I still don't have a userfile?!
