| 11:16.06 | The-Comp1ler | [ 1217] time taken to join all chans: 11m 25s; rate: 68.5 sec/join |
| 11:16.11 | The-Comp1ler | why that long? |
| 18:53.08 | simonrvn | dns? local network issues? a *lot* of channels? could be anything like that. |
| 19:50.52 | The-Compiler | simonrvn: it is like that only with the new infobot version, didn't happen with the old original infobot. And yes, 100 channels, but did also happen on like 5 chans, still takes a lot of time for a join |
| 19:55.01 | simonrvn | yeh, it does take longer now, i suggest asking troubled about it |
| 19:55.04 | simonrvn | troubled: ping |
| 19:58.54 | troubled | simonrvn: pong |
| 19:59.56 | troubled | The-Compiler: its a long story, but the current scheduler has an issue where it didnt want everything to run simultaneously, so it uses random times |
| 20:00.14 | troubled | so on connect it waits like a random 1-60 seconds, and then the same per channel or something silly |
| 20:00.59 | The-Compiler | oh, okay :/ |
| 20:01.00 | troubled | it originally called a sub that was like rand(), which itself was broken. when I fixed it to do what it was supposed to, all the scheduler crap broke |
| 20:01.22 | troubled | i tweaked a few values to more reasonable times, but I stopped short of making them all run at the same time |
| 20:01.42 | The-Compiler | troubled: by the way, dcc chat doesn't seem to work either |
| 20:01.43 | troubled | otherwise you would run into situations where "all the stars align" and 100 things run at the exact same second |
| 20:01.53 | troubled | nope, dcc was given up on |
| 20:02.31 | troubled | poe was hopefully going to address alot of that, but I dont remember if we all agreed on it. hasn't been worked on since |
| 20:03.22 | troubled | if you go into the IRC/Scheulers.pl file I think you can tweak the times there |
| 20:03.54 | The-Compiler | well I don't mind that much |
| 20:04.12 | troubled | problem is that the param currently takes a minute value and then converts to seconds, so you can just play with the sub a bit and tweak it to remove any annonying delays |
| 20:04.34 | troubled | its such a touchy part of the bot that I would need to really test changes to the times |
| 20:04.37 | The-Compiler | and how to turn off a feature for a channel? "~chanset #channel -wikipedia" just told me the variable wikipedia isn't set |
| 20:05.11 | troubled | that deletes the var and then the sub would fall back to a _default or the default in the code |
| 20:05.18 | troubled | usually you set it to "0" if you want that |
| 20:05.37 | troubled | like ~chanset #infobot wikipedia 0 |
| 20:05.48 | troubled | that keeps the variable set, but sets it to 0 |
| 20:06.00 | troubled | -wikipedia would actually erase the storage of that variable |
| 20:06.25 | The-Compiler | I mean, how do I do thinks like "-wikipedia" in the infobot.chan file to disable the wikipedia feature for that chan? |
| 20:06.28 | troubled | (i know, its a nasty syntax and poor design, but change requires approval from alot of people without pissin anyone off) |
| 20:06.33 | The-Compiler | s/thinks/things/ |
| 20:07.13 | troubled | put "+wikipedia" in the infobot.chan file |
| 20:07.25 | simonrvn | troubled: FYI, i wouldn't mind transition to poe, i think it would only help the situation. |
| 20:07.32 | simonrvn | mind a* |
| 20:07.38 | troubled | or probably "wikipedia 1" (which should be the same as +wikipedia, but its not always the case) |
| 20:07.55 | The-Compiler | troubled: huh, no, I mean how do I do a "-wikipedia" but w/o editing the file by hand? |
| 20:08.01 | troubled | simonrvn: if tim and don don't care, I would have started it last year |
| 20:08.11 | simonrvn | i know ;) |
| 20:08.29 | troubled | The-Compiler: ~chanset #chan wikipedia 0 (or -wikipedia) |
| 20:08.40 | The-Compiler | okay thanks ;) |
| 20:09.43 | troubled | the big problem with the 0 vs. -something syntax is that the default should be dealt with in the config, but every other sub has a different way of doing the default check in a few spots. a nightmare to go through the whole code base and standardize on one way to say the least :) |
| 20:10.22 | The-Compiler | looks how big the code is |
| 20:11.11 | The-Compiler | 44311 lines. Not bad. |
| 20:11.19 | troubled | The-Compiler: not terribly big, but big enough that you have to temp break stuff here and there to rearrange everything in steps. probably only a few solid nights of work could get that bot in tip top shape ready for a port to poe or something though |
| 20:11.20 | The-Compiler | Okay, like 10 of them by me :P |
| 20:12.40 | simonrvn | unless you sat there for a few days and did everything at once ;p |
| 20:12.48 | troubled | basically ya :) |
| 20:13.27 | The-Compiler | I really have to learn perl to help you guys out |
| 20:13.34 | troubled | ive already been told in though that I shouldnt change the config file syntax, so its really limiting |
| 20:13.57 | troubled | personally, i hate the syntax now, but its not my bot *cough* tim *cough* :) |
| 20:14.10 | troubled | ah, he isn't here yet |
| 20:14.28 | troubled | well, if you want config syntax change, tim and don are probably the 2 people you would need to plead with |
| 20:14.49 | The-Compiler | by the way, I'm a bot :P (okay, just a small script behind that real user, type "I'm bored" to test it out ;) |
| 20:15.01 | troubled | I'm bored |
| 20:15.01 | The-Compiler | troubled, cheer up, and read my random fortune/quote/joke: |
| 20:15.01 | The-Compiler | You feel a whole lot more like you do now than you did when you used to. |
| 20:15.04 | troubled | :) |
| 20:15.30 | troubled | that is another reason why I wanted poe, so we could finally get an irc connected local console |
| 20:15.43 | troubled | right now its either irc _or_ a console only mode, not both |
