nick-len or something else?

I don't see an eggdrop.h file anywhere....

It's part of the source code for eggdrop.
eggdrop1.6.18/src/eggdrop.h

Then you're not really looking.

Try ~./src

Nick length is not the same as handle length (the handle being what's stored in the bot's user file.) The usual max is 9 chars, although you can change this in the eggdrop.h file and then recompile. As stated in the eggdrop.h file, that would be non-standard and can cause problems with botnets for example, so all linked bots need to have the same HANDLEN set.

BTW, forum mods, I tried to do a search cos I know this topic's been discussed before, but the search feature isn't working, for any thing I tried.

I've set nick-len to 20 in the config file.

When I add a user to the bot with a nick more than 9 characters, it chops it off at 9 characters.

Isn't this set by nick-len?

If not, where do I set this variable so that I can add users with longer nicks to the bot?

Also, the nick contains characters such as ^ and `. Is this part of the problem? If so, can it be fixed?

Thanks!
