What's the resource usage like on the constant join/part on busy boards (1000+ posts per day)? I'll definately install when a) +d is introduced, b) I can monitor a selection of forums, and c) it is able to be constantly present rather than part/join/part/join.

Good work! :cool:

yup, connection refused by venturesonline...damn, now i gotta uninstall it...

Doing +d is as simple aslol ^-^

:D

What about the rest? Any hints as to resource usage? :)

This means its not avail on the server then or is there any tricks to get it going anyway ?

would also like to know.

@Dymo: uhm, how do I ask this without being rude?
well, I'll give it a shot: have you finished that 'major update' yet?
I'm actually waiting for that update :)
I've got multiple subfora which shouldn't be monitored, and I'd like the bot to stay in the channel instead of hopping in and out :)

yeah bring us the update

yeeees bring it on ;)

Ok i got this installed but...I run my bot from home..and use irc.enterthegame.com for IRC .. Now i think i have set everything up except for the fact of the homedomain?lost me there..

sorry all for the severe lack of a response i have on the road for awhile and lost a large amount of time on another project of our a cms system and portal thats truely ingregrated with vbulletin. we do have alot of updates on this hack already i just need to compile those into an update and rerelease of this hack and then we will publish it, i am hoping for tommorrow if not then on monday, i have also polished the documentation on it a bit better

Well, it's a monday today ;)
Just kidding, take your time. We don't want you to get overworked/stressed afterall :)
But, I'd really like to see the update. I'm definitely going to install this :)

this is a very l33t hack but im having one problem. i got it installed successfully but when the bot joins it give a link to the wrong forums. i know it is probably very simple, but how do i customize the forums the bot advertises for (laugh all you want because its probably the easiest thing to do).

any help is greatly appreciated.

Don't worry, we won't laugh.
You'll have to wait for the 'major update' we're all waiting for...
The current version watches 1 or all forums, the 'major update' should make it possible to exclude some forums, like your crewforums etc.

and once again, it's a monday ;)

@Dymo: please please please, bring us the update! *begging face*

It didnt work with Ultimate but I updated to Unreal 3.1.3 last night and its working now. Only thing, it will go to irc on a reply but not on a new thread. I have it on and did as instructed...whats wrong?

this vbulletin.tcl works great

with this running on ur eggdrop bot and using my adjusted irc.php
u only have to config IRC Server Address of ircadmin.php to the ip of your eggdrop and IRC Server Port to port 1337
oh, and dont forget to change the channame in the tcl :)

i wanna add that there are some bugs with the notify reply part
like the .$forumname[title] isnt shown with replys (with threads it works)
and it notifies the reply of the poster before you, not the last reply

also a feature like choosing multiple specific forums would be nice
cos now u cant even chose 1 specific forum (another bug)

so dymo has some polishing to do ;)

how can i remove this
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in C:\httpd\HTDOCS\VBH\irc.php on line 36

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in C:\httpd\HTDOCS\VBH\admin\functions.php on line 2243

keeps coming up when i try a new thread

gr8 hack im using the eggdrop version

seems to work ok but 2 things

it wud be nice to be able to exclude forums ie the admin area

and reply doesnt show the forum name

how do i use the eggdrop version i dont understand

get the files to this hack install the hack as directed

get the modded irc.php from donq's post previous page

upload that irc.php instead of the 1 in the origional hack post

create a tcl file with the contents of donq's code which u load 2 the eggdrop like ne other tcl script

in vb admin cp u now have a irc mod section

in there 4 the server put the ip yer bot is on and the port is set to 1337 in the tcl save

voila shud work

like i say tho be nice to c the reply announcer work proply showing the forum name

and i think it wud be better to be able to exclude certain forums rather than just be able to specify 5 diffferent forums

or perhaps a checkbox that wen we want we just disable the announce 4 a particular post

I don't want eggdrop, I want Dymo's updated script! :classic:

what about if i dont have an eggdrop bot how do i get one

tried all this none of it works

jakex get eggdrop from www.eggheads.org but u need a linux box or shell to run it

or u cud try windrop a port to windows of eggdrop which u can also add tcl scripts

to use this with eggdrop i think you need a host that supports fsock

isnt it possible to get this hack working without a eggdrop?

It is, but in that case you can better wait for Dymo's update.

Come on Dymo, share it with us!!!

yes jakex it can work without eggdrop just install the origional hack

but if u read this whole thread u will find 2 potential problems

1. the hack has bugs with certain ircd's
2. not all hosts will support the feature of executing a bot

i have problem #2 but im on a damn fine host an the eggdrop version works sweet 4 me and as im running a few eggs neway it was little hassle to give it a go

if u have an irc # then eggdrop is the best bot to run and if u can run eggdrop try windrop
there are a lot of addon scripts to enhance yer eggdrop/windrop

[offtopic]
I disagree. The best bots are the ones you write yourself, 'cause the do just what you want them to do :)
And even if you can't write one yourself, eggdrop isn't the best bot. It's the most commonly used bot, I must agree with that, but that doens't make it the best...
I always used the Dancer SE 5.0 bot, but it died at 1 januari 2002 (and we started joking: It isn't y2k2 compliant), and restarting (and even kicking) it didn't help :cry:. A little bit of research showed us that it was due to the very trashy server (a linux server with a not so stable kernel which can't be updated). So we tried it at a windows 2k server, and that worked. But, in memory of our good friend CyberFriend/Joey/Stimpy (all the names the bod has had ;)), we dicided to forget about the bot.

But, we are willing to try out Dymo's script, and so still eagerly waiting for his 'major update'...

a bud of mine fixed the multiple specific forum thing

u need my modded ircadmin.php

and alter the following:

with phpmyadmin: go to the table ircaddon; u have to change ircforum from: int(20) default NULL
to
type: mediumtext Null: No_null Default: "" ( remove NULL)

where u added the hack in newthread.php, replace it with the following:
same for newreply.php:
now u can add multiple forumids seperated with a space, like
5 12 15 16 3 61 11

yea, but problem 2 is more the specific problem that the host doesnt allow to open a port on 6667
on my host port 1337 is allowed, as on most hosts

also dymo's version (without eggdrop) has to connect to an ircd everytime a newthread/reply is made this take alot of time
even if u get it to run with +d , it will use alot more bandwide/load on your host

so i thing With eggdrop or windrop is the best sollution, but then u also need eggdrop skills :P

the new multiple forum specific mod seems to work ok with a quik test

thx donq an yer bud

still if it shows ne probs ill repost

i did have the idea of having radio buttons to enable and disable the announce feature for admin/mods with default enabled

dunno if this wud work

i have np with the html adding radio button code to a template but i have to little knowledge of php to make them function as they are required

if ne1 can help write this portion id be interested an appreciative

ok i have a slight problem/bug since installing the multiple forum specific mod

i am getting a double announce it seems to be only happening with forums that have an id greater than 19

i have noticed this bit of code is allready in newthread.php

but its still doing it even tho iv removed the xtra instance of that code

your right, that shouldnt be there twice, i updated my post

did u also alter the colum ircforum in table ircaddon with phpmyadmin?
int(20) should be changed to mediumtext

Im still getting message:

Connection refused (111)

Whats causing this?

yes i did the mod to the dbase incorrectly 1st but i corrected my error an reset the specified forums

also noticed this mornin wen i cum onlie the announce has announce a forum i have not included so for sum reason its only partially workin

the main forum i was bothered about was admin which doesnt seem to announce but i also excluded my mod area yet that has announced

/me still cant get it working

Hi,

just one question.

Is this hack ready for installation, and does it work without bugs?

Greetings
