what does Mode queue mean ?

Post by z_one »

I am using eggdrop 1.6.10
When I type .status at the console I see

Mode queue is at 4%, 13 msgs

What does the 4% and 13 msgs mean ?
Can I change the settings for those values ? If yes how ?

There are several server queues built into eggdrop.

Each is designed for a specific pupose, and outputs it's data at different times.

Eggdrop usues queues, and outputs data to the IRC server, at a slowed rate, so not to flood the bot off.

As such, scripts and modules, use specific queues, depending on how important data is, and when it should be sent to the server.

IE, the mode queue will be output first, even if it was empty when another queue was being output.

The help queue is used to output text, and non-essensial traffic.

This status line, shows how many lines are currently queued in each one.

There is a setting, in the config files, that allows you to limit the maximum size, a queue can hold. As such, the percentage, is the amount these lines are using of this limit.

As such, using the defaults should not present any worries. These settings are there for those that need larger queues. However, increasing the queue size, will mean the eggdrop requires more memory.

My recomendation is, to leave these settings alone, and ignore the lines.
