Eggdrop IRC Manager

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?

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.

Hi guys,

I'm trying to setup the EIM1.4 under vB 3.0.1 and Eggdrop 1.6.15, under linux.
I've followed the installation twice and performed correctly all the vB operation.

• I can create #channel via admincp
• The template is working well
• The database access is working well (displaying 0 everywhere in template)

It seems that the eggdrop script can't update the channel status to the mysql via irconline.php ...

On the eggdrop part, I have correctly load up the scripts/_egghttp.tcl and scripts/_ircrefresh.tcl

• When I'm trying to run manual command, nothings append
• I got strange error message in log

  Tcl error [check_part]: invalid command name "::http::cleanup"

Any Idea ? maybe my egghttp lib is not the good one ? (egghttp.tcl v1.0.5 - by strikelight)
How can I debug the app ?

Thanks in advance, RCK.

I don't know what this egghttp lib is, but I have:

http.tcl,v 1.43.2.3

http::cleanup is a valid command. Maybe you have disabled something in the configuration, or are not loading the library.

I use Windrop, and not currently on my Linux box, so I can't help too much.

Hi VeloCD !

do you know where I can download this version of http.tcl script ?
(I'm using latest version of Eggdrop, and http.tcl don't seems to be present)

[RCK]

I got all the http.tcl package from windrop, I'll try to make them work under eggdrop

[RCK]

Just to told you all that I got the script working correctly under eggdrop !
in fact the http.tcl package is integrated in TCL, but I was running one too much older TCL version (8.0, need 8.2)

[daFish]

Ok i have tried nearly everything but i did not get this to work properly.

The script is in the scripts directory and called by the .conf.
All settings in the files are made but the bot dont refresh the sql table.
Tried the bot commands and nothing happens.

Really strange.

What is your version of eggdrop ? windrop ?
What version of TCL is installed - if you are under linux ?

Question for Velocd :
btw, what is the signification of {} around some nicks ?

Eggdrop v1.6.15
TCL v8.3

[RCK]

I'm also running Eggdrop 1.6.15 & TCL-8.3.3 and got no problem.
You should reinstall Eggdrop IRC Manager, and see if you don't forgot anything.
