Universal channel script

3.0 is out

added revolving door and bad /whois (realname, channels (including too many), server) handlers; a little more to come

that's it folks, I'm done with xchannel; it has everything I deemed necessary for most people, and it should make all other protection scripts obsolete

j/k, time will show, but I think I achieved my objective - highly-optimized and versatile code with 100% chanset-based configuration that should appeal to the majority of bot owners

there will be no next version unless people report bugs

the last is version 3.2, I've added drone detection (based on improved spambuster heuristics) and done some final [punish] changes

I just downloaded the script and nicely done!!

I just have one problem : when I restart the bot I'm always getting this error : (22:54) <Cube> [22:54] xchannel-3.2: ERROR: no channels defined .

After a rehash everything works fine again.

I'm getting this after every .restart .

that happens because on (re)start eggdrop actually loads chanfile after loading its config (and any scripts sourced in it), so at that point xchannel doesn't know about any channels

I'll find a way around this

alrighty, fixed the restart thing in 3.3

x:drone:score (n), i didnt get the score, N and what should it be there? can i have an example for it please?

That was fast demond

, error's gone.

But I have a second little problem now,

Some settings of the 'User defined channel strings' return to default after a restart. I can succesfully set every setting before ' x:bad:punish'
all settings that come after that return to default when bot's restarted.

These are de ones that return to default on my bot :

Code: Select all

(14:12) <Cube> x:bad:punish: w:k:b
(14:12) <Cube> x:bad:reason: {do not curse}
(14:12) <Cube> x:caps:punish: w:k:b
(14:12) <Cube> x:caps:reason: {caps off}
(14:12) <Cube> x:color:punish: w:k:b
(14:12) <Cube> x:color:reason: {no colors}
(14:12) <Cube> x:mass:rate: 20:3
(14:12) <Cube> x:repeat:rate: 3:10
(14:12) <Cube> x:whois:file: badwhois.txt
(14:12) <Cube> x:bad:file: badwords.txt

when you enable the drone scanner (.chanset #channel +x:drone), the script will be analyzing every nick!user on join and assign a score to it; that score is proportional to the degree of randomness of that nick & user; normally, people would have nicks that yield a score less than the threshold x:drone:score (by default 30), and (lame) drones with randomly generated nicks will yield a score above the threshold

you can experiment with the score by invoking the proc directly:

Code: Select all

.tcl ::xchannel::penalty CooLB0Y:ident
Tcl: 10

this is an eggdrop bug, I'll report it to eggheads

it is caused by length limitations in processing of channel options read from chanfile - xchannel adds plenty of those and eventually some are ignored on loading chanfile because of limited buffer size

I hope they'll fix that in 1.6.18, but for the time being you can fix it yourself just as I did, by editing src/mod/channels.mod/tclchan.c and substituting all occurances of the number 2048 with 4096, also 2047 with 4095 (these are in one function only, tcl_channel_add()); don't forget to recompile, reinstall & restart the bot after you are done with that

demond · Post by **demond** » Thu Sep 22, 2005 11:46 pm

it seems that has already been fixed in 1.6.18; so you might want to grab it from the CVS as well

xchannel-3.2: ERROR: channels module is not loaded

I get this msg, i there anything im doing wrong, i do load the channel module in the config

De Kus · Post by **De Kus** » Sun Sep 25, 2005 2:21 pm

this message occurs because you either running eggdrop with englishnot as default language or you obviously added the source line before the loadmodule of channels.

When running bot with German as primary language:

[19:18:21] tcl: evaluate (.tcl): loadmodule channels
Tcl: Bereits geladen.

Edit: added missing "not" ^^

umm heh, I haven't thought about that

blame it all on eggheads

who chose to return language-dependant string as status indicator from a proc

well, maybe I should parse [modules] output instead

anyhow, I'll fix that

Hmm, i haven't found a TCL command to access the language file. Maybe that would be worth a feature request for the bugtracker ^-^?
I mean you could create your own language files for your script (packs)

. The benefit would be, you could even use the capility to use a channel specific language and not only a global one.

demond · Post by **demond** » Mon Sep 26, 2005 4:32 am

well, there's no point of reading eggdrop's language files from Tcl, hence the lack of such Tcl interface

however, nothing's stopping you from creating your own language files for exclusive use in your scripts, for example:

Code: Select all

namespace eval dekus {
   set language .de
   bind pubm - "% hi" foo
   bind pubm - "% bye" foo
   proc foo {n u h c t} {
      putchan $c [getstr $t]
   }
   proc getstr str {
      variable strings
      variable language
      set idx [lsearch -index 0 $strings($language) $str]
      return [lindex [lindex $strings($language) $idx] 1]
   }
   foreach file [glob lang.*] {
      set f [open $file]
      set lang [file extension $file]
      foreach e [split [read $f] \n] {
         set key [lindex [split $e] 0]
         set str [join [lrange [split $e] 1 e]]
         lappend strings($lang) [list $key $str]
      }
      close $f
   }
}

in lang.en you have:

hi hello
bye see you

and in lang.de you have:

hi hallo
bye auf wiedersehen
