please remember that if you change the handlen you cannot share userfiles with other bots, unless they have the same handlen

That's nick length not handle length.. seesh. The handle length depends on the dggrop, not on the server.

Does this have to do with the eggdrop itself ?

If you set a bot handle greater than 9 characters, it will only record the first 9 characters as the handle. Same goes for a user.

Added qwertyuio (no host) with no password and no flags.

If this is concerning the IRC Network / Server

WALLCHOPS PREFIX=(ov)@+ CHANTYPES=#& MAXCHANNELS=20 MAXBANS=25 NICKLEN=9 TOPICLEN=120 KICKLEN=90 NETWORK=EFnet CHANMODES=be,k,l,imnpst EXCEPTS KNOCK MODES=4 are supported by this server

Notice how the NICKLEN=9 , you cannot override this.

Just to let you know, as an IRCop i know that some iRC networks limit you to the length of the nick. This cant be avoided unless you talk to the net admins :/

Hope it helps...

Why don't you use the Search button of the forum? I have seen other posts related to this matter, where is explained where and what to change.

hi

try to edit the handlen and nickmax definitions in src/eggdrop.h at line 73 and 74 (at least for version 1.6.15). the standard for handlen is 9 and for nickmax it's 32. afterwards you will have to recompile
