Undocumentened conf file variables

[awyeah]

Is anyone familiar with the undocument eggdrop variables which
can be used in the .conf file, which are mentioned in this code.

Code: Select all

###########
# irc.mod #
###########

# custom network
#XXX damn eggdrop bug
set net-type 1
set net-type 5

# number of mode parameters per line
set modes-per-line 6

# include +l/k in modes-per-line
set include-lk 1

# enable +e/I
set use-exempts 1
set use-invites 1

# mix +e/I with others
set prevent-mixing 0

# maximum length of mode change buffer
set mode-buf-length 300

# max individual lists
set max-bans 100
set max-exempts 45
set max-invites 45

# max total lists
set max-modes 190

# number of nicks per KICK
set kick-method 4

# send invitation on key request if channel is +i
set invite-key 1

# casetable mode
set rfc-compliant 0


##############
# server.mod #
##############

# stackable commands, comma-separated primary targets
set stackable-commands "PRIVMSG NOTICE JOIN PART KICK WHOIS WHOWAS USERHOST ISON WATCH DCCALLOW"

# stackable commands, space-separated primary targets
set stackable2-commands "USERHOST ISON WATCH"

# command target stacking:
# 0 - no stacking
# 1 - stack everything
# 2 - stack stackable-commands
# 3 - stack everything but stackable-commands
set use-fast-deq 2

# max targets
set stack-limit 4

# does umode +r mean restricted?
set check-mode-r 0

# irc2 penalties
set use-penalties 0

# nick length
set nicklen 30

Are these stacking codes of good usage or not?

Also some one told me this:

I also neglected to mention that setting optimize-kicks to at least 1
is a good idea. Unfortunately, eggdrop 1.6.x's kick optimizer is
broken, so you'll also need this patch to use it:
http://homepage.mac.com/quension/kickqfix.patch

I'm not bothering to post patches for anything else. Hopefully eggdrop
1.7 isn't too far off...

Here is the patch.

Code: Select all

Fixes eggdrop 1.6.x's broken kick queue restacker.  To use, place this file in
the eggdrop source directory and run:

patch -p0 < kickqfix.patch

Is this true? by loading this into the code, will it correct or make the kick stacking more better??

Well, most of what you have pasted is very well documented and can be found in eggdrop.conf (that is included in the tarball).

Not in eggdrop.conf:

Code: Select all

set invite-key 1
set stackable-commands
set use-penalties

As for "optimize-kicks" being 'broken', I have not seen evidence of this myself with the 1.6.x series.

~doc/UPDATES1.6 may contain additional information.

Hmm... never heard anything about optimize-kicks being broken.. but it never fails to amaze me how long a bug can go without someone reporting it I'll have a look.

One of the IRCd coders of bahamut (The DALnet IRCd), told me regarding this. When I explained why my eggdrop gets excess flood on so such short notice, when kicking alot of clones.

You can discuss this with him, I can give you his email if you like.
