chanlimit.tcl v4.09.1

Hi, i am using netbots script(4.09) and limit is enable in netset...
set cl_limit 7
set cl_grace 2
set cl_timer 1

bot is setting the limit ok, and there is enough grace between limit set and users. but users still get the message "Channel full". This is a major problem as it is affecting a lot of people as they cant join.

your help/advise will be appreciated.

thanks

If the actual limit is higher than the number of users in the channel, it sounds more like a sync problem or ircd issue. Increase cl_timer (and cl_limit if necessary). People go overboard with frequent limit changes that are both unecessary (and often undesirable) from a flood control perspective, as well as being annoying to users who see the frequent +l changes. Incidentally, a 4.5 release of the script is available:

I suppose a formal release is long overdue, like everything else

Thanks Slennox, I had increased (cl_timer to 4, and cl_limit to 10), and i am using "cl_priority" option as well, but users were getting the same message.

so now i am using 4.5 release, and i think its working fine. Thanks again.

Hi again,
I am using 4.5 new release, but still that happens, user get the message "channel is full".
even now i use the new setup.
# chanlimit.tcl settings
set nb_component(chanlimit) 1
set cl_chans "chanset"
set cl_echans ""
set cl_limit 10
set cl_grace 2
set cl_timer 1
set cl_priority "eggy kewl dead "
set cl_server 1
set cl_enforce "m|m"
set cl_log 0

i am using cl_timer 1 cause of cl_priority, and channel is busy, if i increase that, then that "channel is full" happens a lot. i am using eggdrop1.6.15, undernet.
please advise.
thanks

It's not clear from your message whether you're talking about an IRC sync issue ("channel is full" message despite there number of users being below the limit) or that your channel is so large/busy that checks are needed every minute at cl_limit 10. If the latter is the case then you need to increase cl_limit. The default of 10 is intended for a medium channel (50-100 users).

Hi Slennox,

I think that's sync issue even because the actual limit is higher than number of users, and there is enough grace between limit set and users and users still get "channel is full" message, if i increase cl_limit, then a lot of flooders hit the channel, peak user base is around 200.
may be i should change cl_timer to 30 seconds? i don't wanna mess with the script, may be if you can point me what to change?

i'll appreciate your help, advise, suggestions.

Thanks
