How many putquick statements should I have?

stevegarbz · Post by **stevegarbz** » Sat Mar 11, 2006 11:04 pm

I've got a greet script that is set to greet people who join channel 'x' using the 'putquick' statement. It greets 8 people in 30 seconds, max. Is this too much, or can I increase the limit? The higher the number, the better. I don't want to flood out my bot, though.

I'm also running a few other scripts, but they aren't contant like this one.

Thanks!
Steve

If you would like to increase that amount of messages use a slower queue like 'puthelp' or 'putserv'

Which one is the fastest?

puthelp is the slowest, then comes putserv and putquick.

Ok, thank you very much. I changed it to 15:30 using putserv.

Hmm, I've used about 3 greet scripts so far, and all of them seem to stop working after a period of time... any ideas why? Bot isn't flooded out.

I personally would use puthelp and dont care any more about flood. I have used puthelp to dump larger amounts of text (command helps), but never ever had any trouble with it. puthelp usually sends the lines in about (rather more) than 2 sec delays and since the server usually kicks for about 512byte in 2 sec and 1 line cannot be bigger than 512 (510 + \r\n) bytes you theoretically cannot be dropped, unless some lag or many putquick statements occur. putserv statements while puthelp queue is played will first put from normal queue and after that continue with help queue.

I'm using the following script:

Code: Select all

set onjoin_msg {
 {
  "Hello, $nick - $chan is powered by www.PrecisionEffect.com / #PE - Premium Web Hosting"
 }
}
set onjoin_chans "#chicago.cs #esbuilder #terroarized #enervate #angkor #divine #opposition"

bind join - * join_onjoin

putlog "Onjoin greet script loaded"

proc join_onjoin {nick uhost hand chan} {
 global onjoin_msg onjoin_chans botnick
 if {(([lsearch -exact [string tolower $onjoin_chans] [string tolower $chan]] != -1) || ($onjoin_chans == "*")) && (![matchattr $hand b]) && ($nick != $botnick)} {
  set onjoin_temp [lindex $onjoin_msg [rand [llength $onjoin_msg]]]
  foreach msgline $onjoin_temp {
   puthelp "NOTICE $nick :[subst $msgline]"
  }
 }
}

For some reason, after it sends a few times, the bot stops sending all public messages? This happened on 2-3 greet scripts I have used, I kept switching thinking it was the script. Please help!

EDIT: Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not.

The puthelp queue may become very slow sometimes because of huge stack in it, just wait a little bit and I'm sure all messages are going to be delivered. Also, make sure that your server doesn't have some limit for msgs (most servers do).

I had to remove the script. My bot stopped processing all public commands, including channel protection and global ads.

This is using a NOTICE method, so it shouldn't be getting a target change or anything like that? Please help, I want this to be functional.
