eggdrop 1.6.19 to 1.6.20

Post by kenh83 »

Hey guys, hoping to receive some good support here as I've been pretty unlucky in IRC channels on various networks.. too many idiots thinking that their [censored] dont stink. So I've come here as a last resort.

I've got some pretty simplistic scripts that utilize mysqltcl library and really just a bunch of if, else, if else, regexp commands, nothing too terribly special to be honest.

But I have a few questions.

Will this update break my scripts?
Is there native SSL server support in this version?

I really appreciate any support offerings and thanks in advance!

As to my knowledge, the largest change in the tcl script API is the deprecation of putdccnow in favor of putnow. Other changes would include a new bind-type, and possibly some new commands. Any old commands from 1.6.19 except putdccnow should work as before.

1.6.20 does not have native SSL support. Further, there are known issues with some wide-spread patches - you'll find several posts regarding this here on the forum.

nml375,

Thank you for your kind reply bud, class act.

The reason I'm interested in updating to .20 is because of the putnow feature that I had read in the documentation.

You had mentioned putdccnow in .19 how does this work? I cannot find any official documentation on this.

Thanks again.

Sorry, I meant "putdccraw". It allows you to send data directly to a socket, bypassing any queues (when sent to the server socket).
