Configuration


Configuring the script

Ahhh, so you want to configure the script now, eh Michael? :)

Well, this part should be straight forward and easy. I hope you read the Installation guide first - it describes how to to install the script as well as how to make your eggdrop bot auto load the script.

The configuration file is called illusions.tcl - and ONLY this file.
Each option/setting is described in the configuration file, and if I were to describe them here, I would actually be copy/pasting - so I won't.

The Forum is still there, if you should need help.


Starting the bot

Once you are done configuring, it's very IMPORTANT that you start your eggdrop bot with -m parameter (only once do this once). This will make your eggdrop delete existing user/channel database and create new/empty ones - meaning your current user/channel records are deleted.

If you don't know how to start your bot with -m, this is how you do it:

    ./eggdrop -m eggdrop.conf

Should you be updating from older version of this script (any versions in 2.x serie), you should start your eggdrop bot WITHOUT -m, since this will wipe your current user/channel database.


Claiming your bot

This section is only for those who are new to this script, and/or have started the bot with -m parameter.

At this point both user and channel database in your eggdrop is empty. The first user to login becomes the owner of the bot (access 1000).

So it's very IMPORTANT that you LOGIN the bot from IRC right after it connects. To become the owner of the bot, you need to login channel * (special admin channel) with no password. From IRC, type:

    /MSG <botnick> LOGIN *

.. then follow the directions given by the bot. You should change the password immediately - the bot will tell you how.


That's it, Michael; good luck and enjoy. ;)
