Could you use the .chaninfo dcc partyline command to check the value of the idle-kick setting for your channel? It should be set to 0 to prevent idle-kicking, like in your config (just to make sure there isn't a different value stored within your channel's file).

If you need to alter one of the channel settings, use the .chanset command.

Hello again. I wasn't sure if I should start a new thread or just continue within this one since this is something that is still a part of the initial setup from what I've been reading.

I was trying to use my bot to do op functions and it would tell me that it is not a chan op to perform the requested actions. I have the bot added to my SOP group in the chan. So I found that my bot did not know it was an op so I added the following to my .conf file:

Code:

set opchars "@&~"

As soon as I did that and .rehash within a minute my bot started to deop/kick/kickban all the users in the chan that were idleing or haven't said anything within a minute. here is my .conf file:

Code:

I read that the eggdrop needed those characters in order for it to know that it had SOP privileges in the chan. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Then, unfortunately, dcc chat between clients behind that firewall/router will probably not work. However, you can still gain access to the partyline using a telnet client.
Look up which port your eggdrop listens for users (see your config-file, look for 'listen'). Then connect to 127.0.0.1 using that port (telnet 127.0.0.1 12345).

So after reading up on the masquerading router its confirmed that I do have that on my router. I found the ip attached to my laptop but at this point I'm drawing a blank. What should I look for or do from this point on?

I'm going to look into your suggestion on the SOHO and masquerading router. Its the 2wire one that AT&T supplies with their DSL service. Thanks again and I'll report what I find. Thanks again.

Can't run commands when eggdrop is launched into background:
Works as intended. Since the process releases control of the terminal as it forks into background, control is returned to the shell application. Any text written on the console once the eggdrop has forked will thus be passed to the shell application instead.

The dropped dcc connection:
The IP in the dcc chat request looks proper. So does the hostmasks in your userfile.

Would you and/or your eggdrop be hosted behind a SOHO-firewall or "masquerading router"?

Restarting laptop to kill process:
I'm no apple-expert, but from what I've been told, the kill command works just as well on MacOSX, as it does on linux, *nix, and BSD.

This is the beersnob.user file I opened in xcode:

Code:

#4v: eggdrop v1.6.19+ctcpfix -- Beersnob -- written Sun Jun 20 15:00:00 2010HQ         - p                       --LASTON 1277008623 partyline--XTRA created 1276900379marvz      - hjlmnoptx               ! #spf                 1277013998 -          --HOSTS *!marvz@*.irvnca.pacbell.net--HOSTS -telnet!*@*--HOSTS *!pedro@east.LA--LASTON 1277013998 #spf--PASS +FpA3W/6w7Sn1--XTRA created 1276900416::#spf bans&&#spf exempts$$#spf invites

It sees me as the owner. And yes, it does use the HQ. I did notice that when i do log the bot in using ./eggdrop beersnob it only runs in the background and still doesn't allow me to say any commands and doesn't pop up in irc. It doesn't let me quit either. I have to restart my laptop to kill the bot.

EDIT: It showed up in irc now but I still can't dcc chat or anything to the bot through terminal or dcc chat. It kills the dcc chat.

If the .msg and other commands only tell you to get .help, that means you currently have no permissions. This makes sense if you were typing them from the console window where you started your eggdrop using -nt, as the console gets logged on as 'HQ' with no permissions.

Since the connection gets instantly dropped when you use /ctcp chat, that tells me that the user record you created earlier lacks proper hostmasks (which are used to recognize users). Would you and/or your eggdrop be hosted behind a SOHO-firewall or "masquerading router"?

What you can do, is locate and edit your userfile in some text editor. From memory, each record starts on a line with the username followed by flags and encrypted password on a single line, the following lines belonging to this record all start with -- and the type of information.
What we're looking for is --HOST, which should contain one hostmask (string with wildcards that is matched against nick!ident@host or -telnet!ident@host). Make sure there is atleast one such line for your record that matches you. You could try to edit this manually, though you'd probably be better off deleting the userfile and restarting your eggdrop with -m, to re-create your userfile and set a password.

So, after looking around and trying different setting that I found using the search I'm assuming that it still has something to do with the threaded tcl. I changed the code in the config.h to:

Code:

#define HAVE_TCL_THREADS 1

Now the bot only loads in the background if I type

Code:

./eggdrop beersnob.conf

If Itype

Code:

./eggdrop -nt beersnob.conf

it loads fine but I cannot use any of the . commands that you mentioned previously. I also am unable to dcc chat or telnet to the bot itself. So when I try to do anything with the bot it just sits there or cancels the dcc chat. I tried the
/msg yourbot HELP

/ctcp yourbot chat

and this is what I get

Code:

[05:01] DCC connection: CHAT (marvz!pedro@east.LA)[05:01] CTCP DCC: CHAT CHAT 1172744525 44002 from marvz (pedro@east.LA)[05:02] Lost dcc connection to marvz (pedro@east.LA/44002)

The dcc chat gets killed as soon as I type anything.

I recompiled and did everything that you suggested in this thread and previous ones. I'm lost at this point. thanks again for the help and especially with for your patience with me.

When I try any of those commands it says What? You need ".help" etc... Am I missing something that helps with those commands?

From the dcc chat partyline, there's commands such as .say .act and .msg to make your eggdrop speak and act in a channel or private message.

Looks like its working now. Thank you very much!

I do have one question though, will I be able to use my bot to chat as well or will it strictly stay in the room and run commands/scripts I load into it? I recall a long time ago a user in a chan used to use the bot to chat through his terminal. I searched and didn't find anything similar. Maybe I'm just not using the right parameters.

Thanks in advance!
