editing server.c for performance issues ...

[]Godlike[]

Ok. I`ll describe what i am doing, want to do.

I use eggdrop 1.6.17, but it`s queueing system is too slow for me. So i need a eggdrop who will be able to flood out 100 lines or more in a sec or two.

Now i know that can be done, because it`s a RAW DCC mode somehow. I have a private ircd on which (Excess Flood) is disabled for this paticualry bot, so that wont be a problem.

Now i use my scripts with the procedure:

Code: Select all

proc putfast {arg} {
  append arg "\n"
  putdccraw 0 [string length $arg] $arg
}

so there is not much i can optimize there.

So i know the bot queueing system to the server is made in server.c which is in: src\mod\server.mod\server.c but how could i optimize this to realy make the bot flood out what i need, because now it`s realy too slow

I tried with #define msgrate 0 ... no change,
and with

Code: Select all

tputs(serv, buf, len);
    return;

which is also not helping (this was described in this forum when i searched through it).

So please please please help me out, i realy need a fast bot, so i can use it for flooding results from a game server and some other stuffs.

Please help me out, and thx for reading this long text

If you use putdccraw, it doesn't use the bot's queueing system, so there's no point changing the server code.

One thing you might try is combining lines into a single message, e.g.

putfast "$msg1\n$msg2\n$msg3"

Well yes i use dccraw but bot still isnt fast, he floods a few msg more in a second, but that still isn`t it.

And i saw how eggdrop can flood out 200 lines in a second, and the guy who made it edited the source not just used the dccraw, he told me to look in the server.c but other than that i dunno what to change, tried a few modifications but still no progress have been made, somebody sure can tell me more about this so i can make this to work

cya.

Everything depend on network and connection. putdccraw send data directly to server (without using queues) same as 'dprintf(-serv, "DATA");' in source code. Some network uses penalties and won't let any client to send too much data.

[]Godlike[]

Well it`s ircd which i set up and no penalties ....

And the bot which i seen somewhere was on the same version of ircd (Unreal IRCD), and it was a LOT better than mine...

And connection is very fast aswell ....

help

probably you exceed the outgoing buffer of the TCP connection what delays further of more than usually 4kb. So maybe the bot doesnt check often enough, if the queue has been flushed. Perhaps this check interval can be modified within the server.c, I dont know . Just a suggestion.

[]Godlike[]

Good thinking, will check ...

Heh, tried a few things, compiled like 30 times and tried different approaches, but nothing didn`t work

Please, maybe some of the devel. team can help me, i realy need this
