How do I connect Eggdrop to a chatroom?

2009-12-15T22:21:08-04:00

Hi read this link, this will give you a pretty good idea.

http://www.egghelp.org/setup.htm
No, that site gives terrible instructions... It's doesn't explain HOW to connect to a chat room, only how to dl/install Eggdrop on various platforms, with perhaps a little explanation regarding some configuring.

I'm looking for something clear, and concise - that doesn't presuppose prior understanding of the subject matter.

Thanks

The following doesnt make sense to you? Did you edit the config file at all? If you actually read it, it explains what the settings do.

channel add: this is the command you use to add channels to the bot. There are lots of options for this command. Channels are added in the following format:

channel add #donkeys {
options
}

channel set #donkeys +option -option

channel add #horses {
options
}

channel set #horses +option -option

All the different options and channels settings are shown in the examples in the config file. Make sure you remove the example entries for #lamest and #botcentral.

Hi, I've tried searching the forums but haven't found an answer, yet.

I've successfully installed eggdrop on my (linux) machine but I can find any documentation explaining how to connect it to my chat room. If anyone has a link to a clear and concise, step by step explanation on how to accomplish this, I would be very grateful.

Thanks.
I couldn't work it out very well either, so I just cheated by telnet'ing into the bot and typing .+chan #channel
How do I telnet into the bot?

DCC Chat doesn't work for me, so I'm forced to use telnet. You can turn it on in the eggdrop.conf file (just search for it). You'll need to first have identified to the bot as it's master and have a password set like (which can be done in private with the bot - so it doesn't initially have to join a channel), you would with DCC Chat Logins. The Command should work in either DCC Chat and Telnet though.
