Eggdrop v1.6.17 - bot freezes up after issuing .help command

Not neccessarily, it might also be the router (if you are using one and use its DCC features). But checking the block size for DCC connections can't hurt. Thought eggdrop is supposed to use it only in file transfer mode. But you can checkout 'set dcc-block' as well.

Eggdrop v1.6.17 - bot freezes up after issuing .help command

2017-09-24T18:25:46-04:00

I did a reinstall of the bot last night (fresh files, but reused my conf, .chan, and .user files). Same problem exists - but the file permissions stilll look fine. I have to close the DCC session in order to be able to reissue commands to the bot. A restart of the bot is not required.

I've also found that if I telnet into the bot, login normally, then the .help command works fine. After issuing the .help command from the mIRC client (while already in telnet), the DCC link is actually terminated

Code:

*** Daedalus01 joined the channel.[08:31] #Daedalus01# help[08:33] Lost dcc connection to Daedalus01 (yyyy@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/1030)*** Daedalus01 lost dcc link.

Would this then be an issue with my client (mIRC) rather than the eggdrop itself?

is it really freezing or just the dcc connection? could be because of a MTU missmatch, if only the dcc connection fails.

If it is because of a permission problem the bot would give you an error saying so on startup. Maybe there is simply no helpfile either. Why ask us? Check it yourself, we cannot access your bots dir and check it.

Sort of a strange issue, but whenever I dcc chat with the bot and issue the .help command, it echos my input:

Code:

[1:35pm]  [13:35] #daedalus01# help

but never outputs the help information. I believe it used to (I haven't used the bot for a few months) but now it fails to do so. Any suggestions? My only suspicion is maybe a permissions error on the help file, but it looks OK.

I'm running the bot on a Windows host (so it's technically a windrop), but everything else seems to work fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
