Working as well as the servers will allow it

2012-02-01T13:04:54-04:00

Well... currently... the bot is responding to some basic scripted commands in channel.

After doing some reading, it looks like the JustinTV IRC servers don't follow standards and are very buggy. This is throwing off hostmask and probably restricting DDC as well, if not more.

I will spend some time playing around with the bot on another, more standard IRC network to compare what I can and can't do in the channel I want to be in on jtcirc.com.

I appreciate all the support and the prompt replies, thanks again!

...

Outstanding issues are that the bot still does not respond/say anything automatically. When I tell it to through the console, it will, but I will not get a response when I send a /msg botnick hello,

This is a one-shot thing. For setting the owner, on a brand new bot with no users in .chan file.

or even /msg botnick seen mynick. In the status window, it appears the bot is recognizing these commands, but I never see any output back from the bot.

Is there a seen module or script loaded, that will respond to this?

Try:
/msg botnick help
Does it respond (via notice) ?

Also, I have yet to successfully initiate a DDC chat session with the bot, either by /DDC CHAT botnick or by /CTCP botnick CHAT. The latter command shows up in the status window, but nothing happens clientside.

If bot does not recognize you by your hostmask, then it won't respond.
That's the first thing to check and be sure of.

After that, check your client's performance. Can you accept a DCC chat from anybody else? Can you initiate a DCC chat with anybody else?
In other words, be sure your client is not the problem.

...

It was the original conf file, all modifications done myself (not obtained from another source or anything). I originally removed the comment lines to make it easier to read for pasting it here, but once I removed the comment lines I started moving stuff around that made more sense to me and I think I can 'read' it better like this, anyway. I'd prefer to manually look-up an option and read an in-depth definition of it, and, as a result, my conf file is more concise, with options easier to find (for me).

Ok.

Compare HOST lines in bot record to your current hostmask as the bot sees you in the channel. Is there a match?

There was not a match, the only hostname was -telnet!*@*. I did /msg ident and the bot logged 'failed IDENT' but when I did the command again with my bot username at the end (/msg ident [nickname]) it worked. It's weird though, because my bot username is identical to my irc handle, I would have thought it would have worked without needing to add the bot username at the end.

For an experiment, to see if the bot can "say" anything at all ( for all we know the irc server is muting the bot ) try to make the bot say something manually.

Another success, I was able to successfully ".say #mychan test..." and in the channel with my client I observed the bot say 'test...' so we know that the bot can speak and is not muted. Furthermore, I was able to successfully send a MSG with ".msg mynick test..." and received the PM from the bot with the text 'test...'

Outstanding issues are that the bot still does not respond/say anything automatically. When I tell it to through the console, it will, but I will not get a response when I send a /msg botnick hello, or even /msg botnick seen mynick.

The latter command shows up in the status window, but nothing happens clientside.

Just curious - where did you get this eggdrop.conf? It doesn't look like a fully commented conf file

...

I was able to sucessfuly login to telnet and create a new username/pass that is now the owner, and in that connection I had all options available to me. I added .+chan #mychannel and the bot is now there.

Good.

But the bot is still not responding to private messages or chat requests

In the partyline, do:
.whois
to see your record in the bot.
Then, while using your client program and you are in the channel with the bot, do:
.channel #channel
Compare HOST lines in bot record to your current hostmask as the bot sees you in the channel.
Is there a match?

If no match, bot won't "know" you, and thus won't respond... just like you described.

Just in case it might be useful, check out:
http://www.egghelp.org/faq.htm#010

and also, in partyline do:
.help adduser

Either of them might be handy, for adding a new hostmask to bot, for yourself.

For sanity's sake, I my current config file is below (with some user/server info blanked out for anonymity):

Just curious - where did you get this eggdrop.conf?
It doesn't look like a fully commented conf file, found here:
http://eggwiki.org/Eggdrop.conf
and is also the default eggdrop.conf that comes with a bot when you compile it.

For an experiment, to see if the bot can "say" anything at all ( for all we know the irc server is muting the bot ) try to make the bot say something manually.
For that, check out :
.help say

If it does not say something then, perhaps you will get some sort of error message in the partyline, that will direct you.
If you don't see anything in partyline, you might want to check out
set raw-log 1
(see the above link to read description), and then you can use
.console +r , then try the
.say
command again.

An update...

2012-01-31T09:10:16-04:00

Sorry for the double post but I wanted to give an update...

Everything seems to be working-as-intended except that I have never seen the bot ever "say" anything to anyone, ever. (yet).

I commented out the "unbind msg" lines in the config for the sake of troubleshooting. When I /msg ordbot hello I see the following line in the bot status window/log: "Introduced to *!*@!mynick" I assume that line is the bot attempting to /msg me back, and thinks it did successfully, but in my client I never see anything in return.

I think my problem right now is just that my bot can't successfully send chat/msgs through IRC. I wonder if the issues are with my #SERVER or #IRC sections of the config file. I'll be looking into it but if anyone else has any ideas, please let me know. For FYI, The IRC server I'm tyring to use is jtvirc.com:6667 and it requires a username/password (linked to the website twitch.tv)

Right. Limited commands will be available to you when using -nt .

- Understood, I will avoid this from now on.

Adding channels via the config file is deprecated and discouraged. It is suggested that channels are added with the partyline.

Ok, that makes sense, I will remove it from my config file, and as in above, once I can operate the bot with regular commands, this will be unnecessary, anyway.

Have you said Hello to the bot, and did it reply?

I sent "/msg ordbot hello" from mIRC but never got any reply. The only way I knew the bot actually GOT the message was in the status window (from -n option at the time) it showed the incoming message from my nick, in addition to some lines about introducing to new user. Thing is, I never got a reply in my client from the bot.

The same things happen if I type "/ctcp ordbot CHAT" the bot logs the entry thereof but I never see anything on the other end.

I was able to sucessfuly login to telnet and create a new username/pass that is now the owner, and in that connection I had all options available to me. I added .+chan #mychannel and the bot is now there.

Re: Not all console commands are available

2012-01-30T15:28:48-04:00

When connected to my eggdrop (windrop) bot either by telnet or direct console (-nt command line option) I only see the following commands [from ./help all]:

...

Other commands (like many from here) don't work, the bot just replies with "What? You need .help?"

Right. Limited commands will be available to you when using -nt .

To have all the commands, you need to log into your bot as owner, either via telnet or via DCC chat with the bot.

I am also having trouble getting the bot to connect to my channel on connect/startup. This server/channel is registered so my bot will not provide any moderation (only going to be used for seen, stats and games) so in my eggdrop.conf I have added the line "channel add #jcbeware {}"

Here:
http://eggwiki.org/Eggdrop.conf
it says:

Adding channels via the config file is deprecated and discouraged. It is suggested that channels are added with the partyline .

I know the bot is connected to the server because when I MSG or /CTCP the bot's nick, I see the incoming message in the bot status window. The bot never replies/responds, which is yet another issue. /ctcp ordbot chat does not initiate a ddc chat session.

Have you said Hello to the bot, and did it reply?
Have you set your password in the bot?
