Hello!

All is working nicely with our Egg now, however it's very slow to respond to commands and actions from a next.tcl script we're using.

The ping is fine, it just seems to be sluggish to perform anything.

Is there anything I can tweak? I saw in the conf the thing about a delay for modes such as opping a user when they join, I set this and this is now fine. However commands and actions from our next script is slow and there's nothing in there about speed.

[De Kus]

there diffrent "speed modes", for raw code they are:
putquick, putserv and puthelp.
addionally there are pushmode (own queue) and putkick.

but be warned, putquick can be abused to make your flood off the irc server itself (and if not that, it will at least cause a heavy chan flood ^^).

And another command to bypass all queues is 'putdccraw' which will send the string of text directly to the server. It currently gives the fastest outputs if we time it with putquick -next. It will make the bot excess flood very fast -- should be only used carefully and when only necessary.

is there anyway that a putquick can be made to send faster
instead of 1 line per second
perhaps 4 lines per second

whilst sending 20 lines of text putdccraw does flood

when i combined 20 lines of text the mesages still sent at the same speed as putquick

Putquick can be made faster by using the '-next' option.

[NoZparker]

nah ...
putquick "string_here" -next
is no faster

so lets look at the source code .... go on give us a clue

There is a change you might want in the eggdrop compile. Many people ask me how to make the eggdrops send server commands faster. By default an eggdrop sends 1 line per 2 seconds. This may be okay for you, but if you have 5+ eggdrops you might want that to be less. Note that the shorter you make this the more chance the eggdrops will flood off the server.

In src/mod/server.mod/server.c change the following line:

#define msgrate 2

To:

#define msgrate 0

Or:

#define msgrate 1.2

It accepts decimals, so you might have to play with it to get a delay
that you like.

[NoZparker]

well i recompiled the bots and set

#define msgrate 2

to

#define msgrate 1

and so far it's working great

twice the speed
thankyou very much dossi
if it don't get flooded off i may try .75 later
or dare i try .5 ...............lol

This might sound stupid, but I am a little new to this, how do I actually alter that? I recompile the bot? ... I really am still crap at this lol!

hmm I have managed to find the file it is in my eggdrop1.6.17 directory.. in where it says it should be.. I also have another folder where the eggdrop runs take it that it is ok to have the two directories one I guess is where the files as talked about above is isntalled and the other is where eveyrthing else is installed or should I put everything into the one directory where the file server.c is? hmm might tyr it and just see if it makes any difference..

EDIT: well I have tried altering that setting and it just doesn't seem to have any real effect not sure why this is... will keep trying

[De Kus]

you could install everything other hundreds of directories . Actually I currently use some symlinks directly into the source folder to save some quota ^-^. I hope you dont expect any changes without compiling the bot again and replacing the server.so or eggdrop binary (depending on wether you are using modular or static version).

to recompile just incase I am doing it wrong i ./confure ? and make etc.. again? is this correct, if not then I have done it wrong, I should imagine I don't have to re-install the entire bot and everything again, as for what version I have no idea lol silly me. Well I'd like to sort it out really so that it voices quicker in chat using allvoice.tcl, and greetd or something works quicker and publishes the lines quicker... it shouldn't flood as it isn't many lines.. perhaps I am doing it all wrong..

[NoZparker]

the fist command issued by the bot would be instant
so as a user joined the bots channel it should voice them immediately
if another user joined then they should also be voiced immediately
however if two users joined together then one may have to wait untill 2 seconds has expired (by default) before they are voiced.

It takes three seconds to focus your eyes on the window so the user would probably not even notice


if you are sending messages with the voicing then that would be a differant matter

(i think i'm right on that)
