A question about config code

2001-09-28T00:05:00-04:00

Yes, this can work.

I orginaly used this method for my servers list, but eventualy converted it into 4 files. Servers, global settings, dynamic settings and bot settings.

I took all the setting that would remain the same, and put them in global.inc.

I took the server list and put it in a file called servers.inc

I took settings like, userfile, chanfile, notefile, logfiles, and put them in a file called dynamic.inc. This file is actualy a script, which adds the bot nickname to the filenames, thus making them unique, but keeping config size down.

I then created a file called botnick.conf. This contained the botnick, nickname, any scripts that where only on one bot and so on.

TO make these all work together, I used the "source" tcl command to load the dynamic.inc file, into the bots config file. In turn, the dynamicinc file, has a "source" line for both servers.inc and global.inc.

This makes them all come together.

For a more basic example.

File: server.inc

Code:

set servers {irc.my.serverirc.not.my.server}

File: global.inc

Code:

listen 3333 allsource server.incsource alltools.tcl

File: botnick.inc

Code:

set nick "botnick"source global.inc

Sure that will work. In bot.conf, just add the line:

source global.conf

A question about config code

2001-09-27T23:50:00-04:00

I got some eggdrops. In the configs a lot of settings I keep the same throughout my botnet, while some oviously have to be unique. Is it possible to have a file i call global.conf to contain my global lines of the config which i can put with each bot and then a unique bot.conf only containing the non-global settings.

could it work when i do a ./eggdrop bot.conf
that contains some code to load the remaining settings from global.conf

Would this work and what commands/lines of code do I need to put in the bot.conf to load global.conf?

Thanks
