| Introduction: |
Eggdrop is the world's most popular Internet Relay Chat (IRC) bot; it is freely distributable under the GNU General Public License (GPL). Eggdrop is a feature rich program designed to be easily used and expanded upon by both novice and advanced IRC users on a variety of hardware and software platforms. An IRC bot is a program that sits on an IRC channel and performs automated tasks while looking just like a normal user on the channel. Some of these functions include protecting the channel from abuse, allowing privileged users to gain op or voice status, logging channel events, providing information, hosting games, etc. |
| What U Need: | * some sort of Unix account -- it does not compile for Windows or
Mac machines, nor will it probably ever compile there
* pretty good knowledge of IRC and Unix, including how to compile programs and what DCC chat is, at absolute minimum * about 500k of disk space, or more, depending on your system (on Linux, the executable takes up about 400k currently -- it will be a lot larger on a RISC system)* the Tcl libraries -- if you don't have them (and most systems should), check the README file on info about how to install it yourself (you don't need to be root) |
