allright , question spree today but this is the final one in a while, ipromise

theres a problem I have with the bot that it only seems to respond to 1 someone at a time...

i've been changing some global stack and queue flags but that doesnt seem to solve the problem..

sometimes when one user triggers a command, the bot seems to "lag" for somebody else that wants to do something else on another channels.

then it executes the command when the previous user is done,

cant you loosen that up a bit that it responds more ?

cd

I havent come accross a script yet that doesnt lag on large text output. The eggdrop to my knowledge queue's up all the text it is trying to send and just reads it from its internal queue.

Scripts that access an external source for information can also hang the bot if they are use 'BLOCKING' (Wait till it has the information before proceeding)

I Personally dont know of any way to make the bot ignore its queue.

Have you used the putquick -next? and putdccraw functions for output? The ircd itself has a server flood protection I beleive its 512/2 bytes/sec. You can change this setting in one of the eggdrop files not sure which one though, then recompile, it can get you through faster.

If the bot responds slowly it might be because of you have alot of tcls loaded into the bot, the bot might be performing many functions simulataineously (like /who, /whois every used on join) or the bot might have alot of timers running which could saturate its memory and so on...
