putdccraw question

[DayCuts]

Ok, ive browsed through the forums for a way to 'bypass' the msgq's built into eggdrop and everything points to using putdccraw. However when i use a simple while loop and code such as (for example) below it does not seem to bypass these msgq's like it should.

Code: Select all

set i 0
while {10 > $i} {
  set out "PRIVMSG $nick :test $i\n" 
  putdccraw 0 [string length $out] $out
  incr i
}

Theoredically, and according to what i have read on the forums, this should send all 10 lines of text to $nick without delay, but what i am seing is the first 4 lines being sent and the rest sent on delay (exactly as putquick would)

I do not need to worry about being flooded off, as the script is intended to be run on a network admin bot for an ircd. (opered users on the ircd are not affected by such flood limits)

Am i doing something wrong? am i missing something?

Well, i guess im still missing something, because i have read that thread before, and asked basically the same question in there... However the use of putdccraw still fails to improve anything when sending several lines of text to a channel or user. And my question was never really answered there also. Maybe i am misunderstanding the concept/use of putdccraw? I don't know, if somebody could explain why i am not experiencing any improvements with this whilst others are it would be very helpful. Or suggest another method of sending several lines of text without delay? (i read about editing the server mod and recompiling, however this is something i would prefer to aviod)

Try using, putquick with -next, atleast the messages will be stacked and
sent correctly. Using raw sometimes causes problems as well.

Putdccraw has almost the same time interval to reach the server as putquick. Sometimes... infact most of the time my putdccraw outputs are slower than putquick -next.

So use putquick -next, because putdccraw isn't very fast than putquick, they are almost the same as far as speed goes... If there is a difference maybe in mirco/nano seconds which is almost negligble.

That's the only way to get rid of the 2 sec delay/512 bytes.
Edit server.c (about line 123): #define msgrate 2

user one more thing if I may add.
I am trying to change the channel join interval of the bot.

[1] Suppose, if the bot is banned and kick from a channel, then unbanned the bot takes sometime 10-20 secs to rejoin the back, sometimes less sometimes more, depending upon a continuous timer. Now in which file can I edit this. I can't seem to find it.

[2] I also want to edit the delay timers of need-op, need-unban, need-invite, need-limit and need-key and make them faster.

If you have any idea regarding this let me know.
I asked the eggheads development team, they gave me a reply which was weird, and I was unable to do what they had implemented me to do so.

They're all the same (except for need-op), triggered by the bot trying to rejoin the channel. Are you sure you want to speed up this JOIN-hammering? I'm not sure where the interval is specified. What did the eggheads say?

Unfortunately, it isn't. It's in a function that is called every 60 seconds.

src/mod/irc.mod/irc.c
Starting on line 677 in 1.6.16rc1.

} else if (!channel_inactive(chan) && !channel_pending(chan))
dprintf(DP_MODE, "JOIN %s %s\n",
(chan->name[0]) ? chan->name : chan->dname,
chan->channel.key[0] ? chan->channel.key : chan->key_prot);


Myself, I'd probably just declare a static char as a counter in that if
statement. For example, if you want it every 7 minutes.

} else if (!channel_inactive(chan) && !channel_pending(chan)) {
static unsigned char ctr;
if (ctr >= 7)
{
dprintf(DP_MODE, "JOIN %s %s\n",
(chan->name[0]) ? chan->name : chan->dname,
chan->channel.key[0] ? chan->channel.key : chan->key_prot);
ctr = 0;
}
else ctr++;
}


On second thought, the code is flawed. With this code, it'll only rejoin every seventh channel in the bot. But, anyways, you get the idea

[user]

You can't change the interval by changing a single value (well, you can make it do it every second instead of every minute, but that's too fast, and you'd mess up alot of other stuff), so I guess making a tcl would be easier...or find someone that knows a bit of C

If this was slashdot, you'd be modded -1 offtopic

[awyeah]

Hmmm, I was expecting maybe u'd know C user.
Anyway nevermind... I think I'll let it pass, I guess.

Yes maybe I can develop a tcl for this, using chanserv unban #chan $botnick and then a utimer to rejoin, nothing more than that.

Thanks anyway!
