minimal usage

Post by bot-wannabe »

I am trying to setup an eggdrop that does nothing but sit in a room and log conversation. I don't really need the ability to connect to it via DCC, nor do I need it to keep a user list or anything else. Just sit in the room and log the stream...

I know this isn't the intended usage for eggdrop, but is it possible to disable these extra features? DCC, users, etc? I don't even need telnet for the admin, I don't think.

Or is there a tool that would be better suited for this purpose?

Thanks.

Its not possible to disable DCC or users, and I cant really see why you'd want to - they dont take up much room or resources if no-one is using them.

Fair nuff you want it to log convos, but you might also find it useful for looking after other aspects of the channel too... you mark my word! (for example running some kind of quotes script if you are interested in what has been said...).

I'm assuming there is another bot of some kind administering the channel for u...

that's interesting, can you point me in the direction of a quotes script so I can look further?

and as far as disabling things, I'm much in the mindset of "if your not using it, turn it off"... less can go wrong that way...

thanks for your reply.

Actualy, you may find that works the oposite way around with most software.

You simply can't turn the partyline off.

To get to basics, the partyline can be seen as a live logfile. Yo can montior in realtime, what the bot sees.

The bot will use of a fraction more rescources with most stuff enabled, but not in use. This is becuase if there is no-one using them, then there is nothing to process.

The thought about sharing userfiles, while you only have 3 user-records. This would be a waste.

Eggdrop has been designed in a way, so that it doesn't need vast resources when not in use.

"If it aint broken, why fix it" - THis would apply. Why do you need to disable it, when it isn't hurting you or your system.

See the egghelp.org Tcl archive for quote scripts.
