invalid userfile

its got nothing to do with that. the hub crashed while accessing the userfile, and corrupted it. thats what you get for using windows. use the backup userfile

invalid userfile

I think there are 2 userfile formats, one is for the 1.3.* versions and the 1.6.* versions. It's a completely new userfile format for 1.6.*, so if you use a userfile which were used for 1.3.* eggdrops, you get that error.

To rectify it go to the scripts directory and type 'tclsh weed':

Code:

bash-2.05$ tclsh8.2 weedUsage: weed  [options]  (weeds out users from an eggdrop userlist)Output goes to .weedPossible options:  -        exempt this user from weeding  ^o  ^m  ^f     exempt ops or masters or friends  ^co ^cm ^cf    exempt chanops or chanmasters or chanfriends  ^cn            exempt chanowner  ^p  ^x         exempt party-line or file-area users  ^b             exempt botnet master  +        weed: haven't been seen in N days  :n             weed: haven't EVER been seen  :eek:  :m         weed: ops or masters with no password set  :a             weed: anyone with no password set  o   m          unop/unmaster: ops or masters with no pass.  b        weed: bans not used in N days  i        weed: ignores created over N days ago  =        weed: channels no longer supported  c              convert v3 eggdrop userfilebash-2.05$

Pay attention to the last line, thats what's gonna help you out.

Happy 'weeding'

i tried linking some bots today and got this error:

*** Linked to hubbot2
[21:01] Downloading user file from hubbot2
[21:01] Lost bot: hubbot2 (lost 2 bots and 1 user).
*** Lost bot: hubbot2 (lost 2 bots and 1 user)
[21:01] (Userlist download aborted.)

After this happened, the hub bot disconnected and the eggdrop process stopped./ I went to my command propmt and reloaded it with the eggdrop command and i got this error at the end of the load:

winident.tcl v1.2 - by FireEgl@EFNet <FireEgl@Windrop.cjb.net> - Loaded.
* Invalid userfile format.

now i can't start my bot because of this? what do i look for and what do i change? thanks- Jeff
