I just installed 1.6.1 & all seems ok, but I have a few things I want to
tweek if possible

1.) Info displayed by /whois command:
i.e. --> Liz is f...@is.last.on.top60.org
Is it possible to change the "fur" to "liz"

2.) Info displayed by /version command:
i.e. --> [Liz VERSION reply]: eggdrop v1.6.1
Is there anyway That I can modify this output or block it in some way?
In other words, I want to disguise the fact that it is a bot. This is on my
own network & will not be used to put an unwanted bot on another network.

3.) I saw something in the docs about making the bot work with services, but
I can't find where I saw it. Can anyone refer me to the doc?

thanks & happy New Year! :o)

This is displayed by the name of the user id (UID) on the server in which
the bot is connecting from (I believe). I don't know of any way to change
this line (except to change the UID), maybe someone else does :)

In your config file, find the line that states: loadmodule ctcp
Then after that line put something like this:
set ctcp-version "mIRC v5.81 K.Mardam-Bey"
set ctcp-finger "Get Your Finger Outa There"
You can change the words between the " and " to anything you want.
Or you could:
set ctcp-mode 0
# This is normal behavior.
set ctcp-mode 1
# bot ignores all CTCPs, except for CTCP CHATs & PINGs requested
# by +o flag users.
set ctcp-mode 2
# bot doesn't answer more than C CTCPs in S seconds. C/S are defined
# by the set flood-ctcp C:S (cf # server module)

Not sure what you mean here. I would try and search the tcl scripts out
there and see if they do what you want.

Thank You Sir! :o) I appreciate your fast reply...

Adding those lines for CTCP worked perfectly.

What I'm trying to do with services is to allow the bot to be able to
identify with
services & the main server (opers) so that it appears to be a registered
nick &
IRC oper, similar to what you can do with mIRC when you sign on with the
"Perform" (on connect, perform these operations) function.

If I understand what you want to do, find the line in your config file that
reads:
set init-server { }
Between the { and } you can then put the commands you want such as

set init-server {
putserv "NICKSERV identify <botpassword>"
putserv "CHANSERV identify <founderpassword>"
putserv "CHANSERV <opper command to get IRCop>"
}
This works about the same as Perform or On Connect for mIRC. The
syntax is different but the idea is the same.
Just modify whatever you need between the " and " for each line.

Keep in mind that anyone who has access to your account/config file will
also have access to the passwords.

Thanks Houdini, but I'd also suggest using `putquick' instead of `putserv' if
you'd like the bot to identify _before_ joining channels.
