illegal channel option: # while executing eggdrop

I've seen this error before on my own bots when i attempted to use the channel option -protecthalfops or -autohalfop on eggdrop 1.6.13, which didn't come with those channel options... what does the rest of your channel options look like...?

Try this .....

Code:

channel add #Fishtank {  chanmode "+nts-imk"  idle-kick 0  stopnethack-mode 5  revenge-mode 0  aop-delay 5:30  need-op { }  need-invite { }  need-key { }  need-unban { }  need-limit { }  flood-chan 15:60  flood-deop 3:10  flood-kick 3:10  flood-join 6:20  flood-ctcp 5:20  flood-nick 6:20}

And...

Code:

# The following settings are used as default values when you .+chan #chan or .tcl# channel add #chan. Look in the section below for explanation of every optionset global-flood-chan 15:60set global-flood-deop 3:10set global-flood-kick 3:10set global-flood-join 6:20set global-flood-ctcp 5:20set global-flood-nick 6:20set global-aop-delay 5:30set global-idle-kick 0set global-chanmode "nt"set global-stopnethack-mode 0set global-revenge-mode 0set global-ban-time 120set global-exempt-time 60set global-invite-time 60

The following is causing your error:

Code:

ban-time 600 exempt-time 60 invite-time 60

Read the '##### CHANNELS MODULE #####' section more carefully.

illegal channel option: # while executing eggdrop

I'm running (or trying to) eggdrop and having a few problems with the configuration. What I'm trying to do is set up a small channel, basically just to see if I can, but I'm running into a few problems.
First off, this information might help a bit:

O/S: Slackware Linux 10.0
Platform: x86
eggdrop version: 1.6.15
kernel: 2.6.9
tcl version: 8.3

Now that that's out of the way, my errors are these:

Code:

Eggdrop v1.6.15 (C) 1997 Robey Pointer (C) 2003 Eggheads[18:27] --- Loading eggdrop v1.6.15 (Sat Nov 13 2004)[18:27] Module loaded: dns[18:27] Module loaded: channels[18:27] Tcl error in file 'eggdrop.conf':[18:27] illegal channel option: #illegal channel option: #illegal channel option: #illegal channel option: #illegal channel option: #    while executing"channel add #Fishtank {      chanmode "+nt-likm"      idle-kick 0      stopnethack-mode 0      revenge-mode 0      ban-time 600      exempt-time..."    (file "eggdrop.conf" line 762)[18:27] * CONFIG FILE NOT LOADED (NOT FOUND, OR ERROR)

And the relevant parts in eggdrop.conf are here:

Code:

    channel add #Fishtank {      chanmode "+nts-imk"      idle-kick 0      stopnethack-mode 0      revenge-mode 0      ban-time 600      exempt-time 60      invite-time 60      aop-delay 5:30      flood-chan 10:60      flood-deop 3:10      flood-kick 3:10      flood-join 5:60      flood-ctcp 3:60      flood-nick 5:60    }

I didn't see another line that needed uncommented (tricky way to get people to read the config though ), and a search of this forum turned up only 2 useless results. If anyone else has any ideas, I'm more than willing to try them. Thanks.
