eggdrop-scripts
This repository contains a collection of long-forgotten scripts for the Eggdrop IRC bot. As a nostalgia project, they were pulled from old backups, more or less rewritten and tested in a current Linux environment. Some of the scripts are rather silly. So, please do not take them too seriously.
Overview:
- auth.tcl: authenticate the bot with an authentication service when connecting to a server.
- beer.tcl: give users in a channel a cold beverage.
- date.tcl: post the current date and time.
- funwar.tcl: post scheduled online gaming fun matches retrieved from a SQL database.
- greetings.tcl: greet users that join a channel.
- help.tcl: post a help text.
- host.tcl: resolve IP addresses or host names with the tool "host" and post the result.
- insult.tcl: generate random insults and post them.
- maketiny.tcl: generate tiny URLs and post them.
- match.tcl: store scheduled online gaming matches in a text file and post stored matches.
- qstat.tcl: query the status of online gaming servers with the tool "qstat" and post the result.
- topic.tcl: change the topic of a channel.
- watch.tcl: watch the online and offline status of users and post status changes.
