Hi,

I dont get it, in all docs ect it states that using raw numberic events is a bad thing but i dont see how it is if u have the correct raw numberic.

Thanks

The problem with raw bindings are that they've got first shot at the incoming data, and has the ability to prevent further processing of the data (if your proc returns 1).

If you were to catch the 315 (End of WHO) numeric, and return 1 at all times, your eggdrop would never be aware of successfully joining a channel (it will "think" it's still waiting for the channel members list indefinitely).

Using raw bindings is not a bad thing per se, you just have to be very careful on what you're doing, or you risk breaking eggdrop's internal mechanisms...

Moderated: Moved
I took the liberty of moving this thread from the "Script Request" forum, as it's really not a request for a script to be written..
