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?
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.

You should reinstall Eggdrop IRC Manager, and see if you don't forgot anything.

I tried this too.
Double checked each setting, re-added the channel in admincp.
Which log could i check to see if theres trouble?

Hum, did you recompile eggdrop since you switched to TCL-8.3 ?

about log, the only error message I get was
- when I was log into the partyline via telnet
- in the ./log/eggdrop.conf

(it was one error about missing TCL http command)

TCL was installed before i used the eggdrop.

Hi !

Eggdrop IRC Manager is working very well here, except for the activity counter.
I tracked the problem and discovered EIM was using the same Time than on other script.
For the moment I have disable the other script, but it's not a final solution :ermm:

How can I make co-operate those both scripts which are using [utimers] ?
Here are the source of symantec.tcl

[Velocd]

RCK, the eggdrop utimer function is as follows (from eggdrop documentation):

utimer <seconds> <tcl-command>
Description: executes the given Tcl command after a certain number of
seconds have passed
Returns: a timerID
Module: core

In my script, I didn't take into account that you might be using other scripts that use timers, sorry.

My script creates a utimer, then when a certain amount of seconds pass deletes all utimers, and creates another utimer.. repeating the process indefinitely.

An easy way to fix this is setting a global variable to the return value of the utimer command, which is the timerID, and then only deleting that utimer.

I don't have the time right now, but I'll try to over the weekend.

Thanks in advance !

Dunno if this is possible, but a friend runs a channel that already has an eggdrop bot. Is there a way I can pull the info from it? I can give him the .tcl file and then set things up on my end.

[Velocd]

Yes, that is possible.

Anyone know a way to put this at the top of forumhome in it's own table (separate from what's going on)?
