People can communicate within the botnet on various channels in an equivalent to a miniature IRC. The botnet supports a 'party line', which is accessible via DCC CHAT and telnet. The bot also features a botnet, which allows multiple bots to be linked together to share data and act in a coordinated fashion.

Scripts are available to add and extend support for: online games, stats, user and channel management, information storage and lookup, greeting channel members, tracking last seen times, botnet management, anti-spam, file serving and distribution (usually via the DCC protocol), IRC services (similar to ChanServ and NickServ), and much more.Įggdrop includes built-in support for sharing user information and channel bans, however a script is required to simultaneously control multiple bots and for bots to coordinate channel management and modes. The bot is written in the C programming language and features interfaces for C modules and Tcl scripts that allow users to further enhance the functionality of the bot.Ī large number of Tcl scripts are available to expand the bot's functionality, most of them written by Eggdrop users. Eggdrop was originally intended to help manage and protect channels from takeover attempts and other forms of IRC war. It was originally written by Robey Pointer in December 1993 to help manage and protect the EFnet channel #gayteen one Eggdrop bot version was named Valis.
