Bot rejoins room every 60 seconds

I have been using the toolz script for years. Works great, till...
Someone used !join #whatever, now i cant get it to part the channel and stay out. It keeps bouncing in and out and error says
"bot joined #channel but didnt want to"
tried !part, -chan and everything i know.
Anyone come across this problem and a fix?

Plus since my bot currently resides on this computer i cant dcc chat it at all, i will move it ot another box when my wife allows me som space, but for now i cant dcc it. Anyone ideas?

Thanks for any and all help.

Peace

log into that computer, kill your bot, edit chanfile if you need to, and get rid of those "toolz" scripts, they all are bloated and useless anyway

There is another way to login to your eggdrops party line if its on your own machine. Use this proggy its called PuTTy. Its a telnet client, one i use all the time. Open it up and connect to localhost or 127.0.0.1 on the port you specified in your config.

Code: Select all

listen 3333 all

that is the default port if you didnt change it. Once logged in via telnet you can do all the things you could do via dcc.

Hope this helps.

i use putty all the time for my linux router im familiar with it but for some reason the telnet times out when i use my windrop on the same machine, i pressume it has something to do with not being able to route something internally.
Building seperate box for it atm so that will allow me to telnet into it properly again, but its just annoying while im having to run it on this machine that i have to start in different mode so i can see the party channel.

Thanks for help so far, any more suggestions?

Very odd. I used to run 4 windrops off my main machine before I discovered the wonders of RedHat9

I could never '/dcc chat botnick' or '/ctcp botnick chat' either but I could always telnet in fine. Can others dcc into your bots?

yeh other people can dcc it but not me.
freaky but im moving it soon.
Can anyone tell me when i do move it (as im thinking of getting proper hosting) what i have to adjust for it to become a real-eggdrop on a linux system from the windrop im running atm?

on a Linux/UNIX shell account, you need to download eggdrop source code, compile it, and fix directory paths in your windrop config appropriately (other than that, the windrop config should also work for your Linux bot)
