README for link.tcl by goo (gumby@mooh.org). Dodgy webpage at http://link.mooh.org/ :) Link.tcl is a script for linking 2 or more IRC channels. It is written for the eggdrop bot written by Robey Pointer. The linked channels may be on the same network, or different networks, it makes no difference. It has been written with simplicity in mind - setup your bot, link it to others via the botnet as for any other eggdrop and if the other bots have link.tcl loaded as well, they will communicate and set each other up. (At least this is what its _meant_ to do :) SETUP: 1. Unpack the tar archive into your eggdrop directory -- it should put link.tcl into your scripts directory (/scripts by default) and put linkhelp.* into your eggdrop directory. 2. Edit the script itself (link.tcl) and read the top 20 lines or so. 3. Add it to your eggdrop configuration file, ie add " source scripts/link.tcl " to your config. 4. Rehash/reload/whatever, just do something to get it to re-read its config :) COMMANDS: All commands should be /MSGed to the bot. * msg sends a message to on * who find out who's on the other connected networks * who find out the user@host of a specific person * netinfo - attempts to report the status of the mini-network TODO: (unlikely to ever get done :) * Fix up 'who' command so it tells you if there's no one on the other networks. At the moment, all it does is send out a request for info, and wait for a reply - if there's no reply, it doesn't tell the user. (ie if there's no one on the other networks, it won't say anything) * Fix up the help files maybe? They're pretty cruddy :) If you have any suggestions as to things to add to the script, or comments/bug reports please mail them to gumby@ign.com.au. If you make any groovy modifications to the script please send them in too :) Hope it works well for you :) goo 9th August '98
