Length of nickname problems

This nickname length setting, in the config file is not what you need. This setting tells eggdrop what size nicknames to expect, and not what size handles you wish to use for the bot, or for user handles on the partyline.

To do this, you will need to re-compile.

Download the source code and de-compress.
Edit the file src/eggdrop.h
Change the line reading

#define HANDLEN 9

Change the 9 to the size your network supports.
Now just use "./configure", "make" and "make install" as usual.

note: If you do this, and are linking bots in the partyline, then every other bot will have to be done to match the same setting, else the bots will not link.

Length of nickname problems

2001-11-10T05:41:00-04:00

I have set the length of a nickname to something higher than 9 since Austnet allows nicknames longer than 9 letters but when i add users or users introduce themselves it is still adding them only up to 9 letters.

What's wrong, do i need to delete the userfile and start a new one or something. any help?
