altnick = ident?

2005-09-29T18:54:09-04:00

From eggdrop.conf

##### BASIC SETTINGS #####

# This setting defines the username the bot uses on IRC. This setting has
# no effect if an ident daemon is running on your bot's machine.
set username "lamest"

As you are running a Windrop, uncomment the following in your conf (the script needs no editing):

Code:

source scripts/winident1.2.tcl

altnick stands for Alternative Nick, and will be used when the first nick is already in use by someone else. The 'username' is it's ident, but if you are running a ident daemon it will always have the ident of the account it's running from. Example: if you run it from 'foo' account it's ident on IRC will be 'foo' like the account name. Some servers duno exactly on what ocasions will allow your client ident not your account ident even if a ident daemon is running.

However, it also means that the ident of the bot is LTbot

nah

Is there any way to set the ident, so that it's not affected by the alternative nick?

Code:

set username ident

(will work only if your shell host doesn't run identd)

Hi there

I have a small question. I'm running the latest windrop, and I have this line in my eggdro.conf

set altnick "LTBot???"

This should make my bot change nick to LTbot and it prolly does (haven't tested it).

However, it also means that the ident of the bot is LTbot. Is there any way to set the ident, so that it's not affected by the alternative nick?
