By default, usernames in eggdrop are restricted ot 9 characters.

In other words, it will be [DoW]cruel and not the full version.

To change this, you should download the eggdrop sourcecode. Edit the file src/eggdrop.h. CHange the line "#define HANDLEN 9" to the value that you network allows. COmpile the bot and run it.

Note, you will not be able to link this bot with another eggdrop, unless the other eggdrop ahs thr same length HANDLEN.

It seems that tcl or eggdrop has some limitations with [ and ] keys you should try adding the user with .+user setting the users handle without the the [ and ] keys and add his host with .+host then set auto opping with .chattr user_handle +ao #channel

You need to identify yourself to the bot either by telnet or by messaging the bot.

From the two methods messaging is the simplest way you just write /msg Your_botsnick hello

then /msg Your_botsnick pass your_choosen_password

replace Your_botsnick with your bots nick name and your_choosen_password
with your own password

then ypu can make dcc chat connectio to the bot and see all the avaible commands by commanding .help all

Hi,
Ok I have downloaded the newest eggdrop and compiled it and config'ed the simple script.

Eggdrop will work and connect and creat a channel, but I'm lost after that.
I not sure how to send commands to the bot.
Do I use telnet?

when I try to use telnet I get the following message.

Code:

[erik@hornet eggdrop]$ telnet localhost 3333Trying 127.0.0.1...Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).Escape character is '^]'.DoWBot  (Eggdrop v1.6.12 (C) 1997 Robey Pointer (C) 2002 Eggheads)Please enter your nickname.eolYou don't have access.Connection closed by foreign host.

Now I have setup eol as a owner. I have tried every possabile account I can think of.

My main goal is to get autoop working. Which I under stand I need to use the chattr command.

Please excuse my ingnorance.

I have use IRC for a while, but never to this extent.

Also, how do I creat a userfile?
Could someone post a sample userfile?
