Hehe I was gonna say what Turambar said.
Yeah, the default is 9 characters, not 8.

To solve this, you need to recompile your eggdrop.
Step wise:

cd eggdrop1.6.13/src
pico -w eggdrop.h

(scroll down one page by pressing ctrl + V)
(and then use the down arrow key to scroll down)
...till you find the line

Code:

#define HANDLEN 9

You need to change the number 9 to 32.
Then hit ctrl + x to save the file and exit, and then

cd ~/eggdrop1.6.13
./configure

And then keep going like how you would compile the eggdrop

When you're done recompiling, kill the eggdrop completely, and restart it.
Finally, go have some coke.

If I remember corectly, there where some changing in some .c file or something folowed by an re-compile. The Search function of the forum knows them all.

There have been some other posts about the "handle length" changing thing, why don't you just Search for it? It's simple as 1..2..3..

Hello,

I'm running eggdrop v1.6.13 and my problem is that a handle length can't be more than 8 characters. (.+user 1234567890 add 12345678). So in file transer module, if I have added a nick with nick abcdefgh to the bot's list and the irc nickname of the user is abcdefghij, he can't download any file. What could I do so my eggdrop woulf be possible to accept users handle with more than 8 charactres, so its users not to have to change theis nickname to the irc?

Thx
