This is a fairly sophisticated (compared to others) "qauth" script. It keeps your eggdrop authed to Q on Quakenet, retrieves the bots auth' chanlevs from Q & L and requests op/invite/unban himself. Ideally, the only thing you'll need to do is set Username + Password and load the script, then (re)start the bot.
It will NOT work on networks other than Quakenet.
-
Download/git-clone qnet.tcl to your scripts directory.
Only qnet.tcl is needed. If you want easy upgrades, use git to clone the repository (optional!):
$ cd scripts $ git-clone git://github.com/elven/eggdrop-quakenet-auth.git
You do not have to use git. You can just as well download it manually.
-
Edit your eggdrop.conf to include the following:
set qnet(user) "authname" set qnet(pass) "your-password" set qnet(usex) 0 set qnet(usechallenge) 0 source eggdrop-quakenet-auth/qnet.tcl
Set usex to 1 to make the eggdrop set +x BEFORE joining any channel.
Set usechallenge to 1 to use Quakenets CHALLENGEAUTH mechanism. Note that this requires the tcl package 'sha1' >= 2.0.0 to be installed.
On most systems, this is included in the 'tcllib' package; e.g. apt-get/aptitude install tcllib
-
Rehash and/or restart the bot.
If you're rehashing, you might need to do '.qnet auth' on your partyline. A restart, however, is recommended.
-
Keeping up-to-date (only applies to git, not for manual download):
$ cd scripts/qnet $ git pull
That should get you started just nicely. If you're having trouble, do not hesitate to mail me.
Stops eggdrop from protecting its channels through Q/L (recover et al)
Stops Q from requesting op through the services.
Stops Q from requesting voice through the services.
For all advanced features, please have a look at the script itself; there are various additional settings you can set in your eggdrop.conf; those are documented there as well.
Make sure Q & L are added as global friends & global ops! Its not necessary, but recommended to avoid clashes in general.
I am connecting through a bouncer, and eggdrop keeps trying to authenticate all the time, even though the server connection is already authenticated to Q.
This is a known issue. There is no workaround available, except setting qnet(authed) to 1, and running qnet:update manually every time eggdrop connects:
set qnet(user) ".."
set qnet(pass) ".."
set qnet(usex) ".."
set qnet(authed) 1
source scripts/qnet.tcl
qnet:update
This is a issue with eggdrops need-handling. There is no known fix, ignore it.
