[SOLVED] Tcl error in file at startup

2014-05-02T16:10:04-04:00

Because I got in a hurry. I made a mistake.

Welcome to the human race.

Now I'm working on getting the bot to respond to me. I'm sure I'll find this answer in the forum archives.

That's a good place to hunt for information.

Thanks for your help, willyw.

Because I got in a hurry. I made a mistake. Thank you for clarifying my error; it makes me feel better now knowing I'm not missing a file. I didn't take my time when uncommenting.

Examine your eggdrop.conf. ( looks like it is stryker.conf )

Compare to the example found here:
http://eggwiki.org/Eggdrop.conf

On that webpage, text search for:
script.tcl
You'll find a section that begins:
"# This is a good place to load scripts to use with your bot."

In that section is an example line:
# source scripts/script.tcl

You mentioned that you can comment it out in yours, and the bot runs fine.
I suspect that somehow in your stryker.conf that line got un-commented.
It is supposed to be commented out. It is just an example.

As for:

script.tcl is an installation file.

I don't know yet why you feel that it is.
Why?

I just installed eggdrop 1.6.21 and tcl8.6.1 on a Debian 7.0 VPS. Everything was smooth until I tried to run it. It seems I'm missing a file: eggdrop/scripts/script.tcl

Code:

./eggdrop -m stryker.confEggdrop v1.6.21 (C) 1997 Robey Pointer (C) 2011 Eggheads[21:45:19] --- Loading eggdrop v1.6.21 (Thu May  1 2014)[21:45:19] Module loaded: blowfish[21:45:19] Module loaded: dns[21:45:19] Module loaded: channels[21:45:19] Module loaded: server[21:45:19] Module loaded: ctcp[21:45:19] Module loaded: irc[21:45:19] Module loaded: notes            (with lang support)[21:45:19] Module loaded: console          (with lang support)[21:45:19] Can't load modules woobie: /home/eggdropbot/eggdrop/modules/woobie.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory[21:45:19] Module loaded: seen[21:45:19] Module loaded: assoc            (with lang support)[21:45:19] Module loaded: wire             (with lang support)[21:45:19] Module loaded: uptime[21:45:19] Tcl error in file 'stryker.conf':[21:45:19] couldn't read file "scripts/script.tcl": no such file or directory    while executing"source scripts/script.tcl"    (file "stryker.conf" line 1382)[21:45:19] * CONFIG FILE NOT LOADED (NOT FOUND, OR ERROR)

script.tcl is an installation file. It wasn't there. So I removed the eggdrop dir and re-installed eggdrop1.6.21. And the file was missing from the installation again. I can comment out the line that loads this file and the bot runs. But why am I missing an install file?

Not sure what am I doing wrong, guys? I've been fighting this all day long. Crazy!

Thanks for your time.

UPDATE: I created script.tcl, uploaded it, and I'm up and running. But I still don't feel 100% about having to do it that way.
