Eggdrop IRC Manager
 

http://www.animesystem.com/temp/eim1-4.jpg

The Eggdrop IRC Manager (EIM) is a TCL script for NIX Eggdrop or Win32 Windrop.

It will allow you to refresh your forum home with information about your channel, such as the nicks currently in it, the record users, and the activity of the channel.

This is a port from my IRC Channel Manager, yet that hack was for MIRC and had some bugs.

I created a new thread for this hack as the audience is different. Most people seeking eggdrops wont look into the mIRC thread.

The eggdrop version is far better than the former, so I highly recommend you make the switch if you're capable of running eggdrop.

Quick overview of features

• Uses MySQL database to store information.
• Stable, fast, easy to deploy and use.
• AdminCP interface for managing channels.

Only drawback currently is that you must run multiple bots with the script if you intend to update multiple channels. I will be working on a version that allows 1 bot to update multiple channels.

For those using IRC Channel Manager, making the upgrade is easy, just refer to the installation manual.

Examples attached. Enjoy! ;)

Notice 1:

Ah yes, I forgot to mention the two manual bot commands in the documentation.

As a bot owner, type !refresh to manually refresh the channel. Type !startact to do the initial start of the activity timer. Both these commands should be performed when you first place your bot on the channel or after you rehash it when installing the script. You wont have to run these scripts again, unless your bot exits the channel.

Notice 2:

Your bot will refresh your channel whenever someone leaves, changes nick, joins, is kicked, topic change, or a mode change occurs (such as someone being op'd, voiced, etc.)

On a large traffic intensive channel, this will make your bot very busy. Just be aware of this. I'll plan for a timer-version, where the bot updates every X minutes, in the future.

FAQ

What is an eggdrop?
http://www.eggheads.org/

Will this work with my java IRC client? (pjIRC, etc.)
Read what an eggdrop is. Once you figure it out, you'll know that they are completely independent things.

How do I start up my own IRC channel?
This thread isn't a beginners guide to IRC. For that, refer to Google:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&i...s+guide+to+irc

Will this work with vB 3.x.x?
More than likely, since there is little modification to vBulletin.

:up:

Nice job, I think i can definitly put this to use.

Great - is there a manual if I don't know how to start my own IRc channel?

I've installed this and the correct topic appears on my forum home, but I can't get it to list the users. I've done !refresh and !startact but that doesn't seem to make any difference. The topic does however change instantly when I change it.

OK, found the major problem, in irconline.php find and remove:

That causes a database error because the column doesn't exisit. Damn me for not checking my email till after I found that problem :p

Sorry for the inconvienances, it seems there were a few bugs (specifically I left half-op code while I had deleted the half-op rows in MySQL).

They've been fixed now, and EIM1.2 has been attached.

To upgrade, upload the new irconline.php, and replace the ircrefresh.tcl with the current. Then, do the file edits according to the installation guide for index.php

All is good. :up:

Is this work with vBxirc?

.. They are of two completely separate things. vBxIRC is a java IRC client. This is an eggdrop script.

I've installed this on my forum home, but I can't get it to list the users and the correct topic.
Bot is Up !!! :(

I would like some advices for my problems

Did you load the TCL script, by editing your eggdrop.conf and adding:

source scripts/ircrefresh.tcl

At the bottom.

Did you edit the "vb_key" variable value in ircrefresh.tcl to match that of the value in "irconline.php" ?

Did you edit the rest of the configuration in ircrefresh.tcl properly?
