* Eggdrop1.2.0+Kirk Patch Description * This patch has *NOT* been fully tested on various OS's, it has only been tested on Linux 2.0.30, with TCL7.6, and even then, it hasn't been put to the test, with proper "on-line" usage. In essence, if this patch screws things up, don't blame me! Mail me with any problems you think may be related to the code. --- Changes made to Eggdrop1.2.0 with this patch: * channel specific file ownerships (i.e. only people from certain channels can get certain files and/or go into certain directories) * bit trivial this one, but when using open telnets, it said only the first 9 letters were significant when entering the password. And we all know passwords can be upto 15 letters now. * longer user handles are now possible, (15 chars) unfortunately this meant the user-file format has had to be altered for the possible longer handles. **NOTE!!** As it stands, the program attempts to convert v3 user-files into the v4 user-files that this new version uses. But PLEASE PLEASE remember to back your user-file up first, before letting this patch loose on it. The patch also ups the "internal" version number to 1.2.1. This is so that older bots can't share and attempt to use the new format user-file. * when a nick flooder is on the channel, the bot will do a temporary ban on the rude individual's domain. This prevents the bot from disconnecting with excess flood, whilst trying to ban all the idents from the host flooding it. * added an new flag, +i, which will make the bot op that person automatically, so you can select which individuals, usually people with static IP's, the bot will automatically op, even when autoop is disabled in the config file. * fixed the .sort routine in the file system. It caused the files in the .filedb to go walkies when you tried to sort just one file out, and would crash in certain circumstances. --- Ian Kaney ikaney@trouty.demon.co.uk
