I agree with you that the code you've pasted needs some changes in order it to work with the +user thing. My appologies.

Re-read my code, and then re-read ".help +user" & ".help adduser".

I don't mean to bitch about it, but they are 100% different in there actions.

EG

.+user ppslim ppslim!*ident@host.com
.adduser ppslim slimbot

Adduser uses a handle. My script has to parse this out, otherwise, it doesn't know if the user has been added or not.

EG, if only the nickname is give, then the nickanme is the handle too. If the handle is given too, then the handle may be different.

With +user, the second argument is a hostmask. Hostmasks are not handles, and as such, any occurance of the hostmask in the command, would cause my script not to message the user.

Actualy the second argument is an nick as you can see: +user [hostmask] and for adduser it's: adduser [!] [handle] so.. they are aproximative the same thing with one minor difference, the "!" thing.

And about the +user space * it's ok if is "+user*" or "+user *". The only difference betwen them is that the first one matches all the commands that start with +user (I doubt there is one that starts with +user and is not it), the other one mathches only the +user one. So basicaly your's is correct, and mine is not wrong.

2 things.

1: It should be ".+user *" (note the space). While not a secuity issue, it does stop un-needed code calls.

2: You can't use the script given for the +user command.

The +user command takes a hostmask as the second argument, and would thus make the above script go a little nuts.

I use somthing simalar to the script given, however, I leave +user out, so I still have control when a message should be sent.

Also an "bind FILT - ".+user*" myfilt:adduser" will be nice.

PS: And I was not talking about "having to re-code vital portions of the bot." Anyway, it's nice.

Puthelp should work fine, and is advised.

Seeing as the puthelp queue is the least priority, it may be that the other queues have data to dump.

one final adjustment i had to make was to change puthelp to putserv... i dont know if its just a network thing or what but it works great now.

Thanks

Luckily, no.

Locate the word validhand and change my stupid mistake to validuser.

that looks like exactly what im looking for

one small problem (im basically a bit of a noob at the coding side of things although ive been playing with eggrops for a while...), i just had a go of the code exactly as you wrote it and i get an error:

Tcl error [myfilt:adduser]: invalid command name "validhand"

is this another case of an old tcl version on my shell? (i've had problems with that before - i spoke to my provider and it should be upgraded soon i hope)

thanks for your time

Code:

bind FILT - ".adduser *" myfilt:adduserproc myfilt:adduser {idx text} {  if {[string index [set nick [lindex [split $text] 1]] 0] == "!"} {    set nick [string range $nick 1 end]  }  if {[set newhand [lindex [split $text] 2]] == ""} {    set newhand $nick  }  if {[validhand $newhand]} { return $text }   *dcc:adduser [idx2hand $idx] $idx [join [lrange [split $text] 1 end]]  if {[validuser $newhand]} {    puthelp "NOTICE $nick :You have now been added to this bot"    puthelp "NOTICE $nick :You need to set a password, using the following command."    puthelp "NOTICE $nick :/msg $::botnick pass "    puthelp "NOTICE $nick :Replacing  with a secure, unique password"    puthelp "NOTICE $nick :After this, you may see the commands available by typing"    puthelp "NOTICE $nick :/msg $::botnick help"  }  return ""}

That should do what you need, without having to re-code vital portions of the bot.

Use a bind msg if you want something like an hello. You should browse the TCL Archive and get one and look how it's done, also you can do a forum search. Anyway, I'm shure you'll find something usefull.

hi,

I was just wondering if there is a way of having the bot automatically send a message to a user that has just been added telling them how to set their password?

Sort of like when you message the bot "hello" to add yourself and the bot then tells you you were added and tells you to set a pass, except it would be me adding them and then being lazy and having the bot explain for me how to set a pass.

On the same note, a message to the user telling them they were added would be good...

Thanks,

MrT
