Configure simple eggdrop.conf
Eggdrop has a very complex configuration file which can overwhelm new users. To make things simpler, we focus on just the most essential settings you must change.
Create a new file inside ~/<botname>/ called examplebot.conf:
set username "botusername" set admin "username <email: username@example.com>" set nick "botnick" set altnick "botn?ck" set realname "/msg botnick hello" set network "Your Network" set userfile "botusername.user" set chanfile "botusername.chan"
Replace with your own settings. For network, use a short simple name instead of theactual server address. For example, the network name might be IRCNow instead of irc.ircnow.org.
set prefer-ipv6 1
We set prefer-ipv6 to 1, meaning eggdrop will attempt to use IPv6 wherever possible. Among other benefits, this will allow our eggdrop to have a unique vhost.
loadmodule server set net-type "Other" set default-port 6667 server add irc6.example.com +6697
Here, we configure the network we want to connect to. There are several network types: EFnet, IRCnet, Undernet, DALnet, Libera, freenode, QuakeNet, Rizon, Twitch, and Other. If you're not sure, choose Other.
You'll want to replace irc6.example.com +6697 with your actual server and port. It's best to use an IPv6-only server address. If you're using SSL, make sure to add a + plus sign. If you're using a plaintext port like port 6667, leave out the + plus sign.
WARNING: Don't confuse plaintext with SSL! If you're connecting to port 6667, do not put a + plus sign in front. If you're connecting to port +6697, do put a + sign in front.
Below, we set the vhosts assigned to us when we created the shell account:
set vhost4 "username.example.com" set vhost6 "username.example.com"
You cannot pick any vhost you want; you must use the vhost given to you when you created the shell account. This is because your vhost must have forward and reverse DNS entries configured in order to work correctly.
If you'd like to pick a different vhost, contact your sysadmin.
Finally, we just copy the rest of these lines unchanged into the conf file (Attach:eggdrop-simple.conf.txt):
