increase the character limits for the eggdrop realname

The source code of the eggdrop for this matter can be modified and a greater value for the realname supposing 80+ characters or so can be set, then after a recompile the bot only needs a restart.

you can feed a 1000-character long realname into your bot/client, but it will get truncated twice - once by the bot/client and once by the server itself, so actually you'll show up on IRC with realname truncated at whichever truncation position is smaller

assuming what that guy has observed is true, DALnet's ircd obviously truncates the realname at a higher character position than eggdrop does (80-th)

come again?

Umm... DALnet allows the display of a real name up to the limit it has set but doesn't mean you cannot have a real long one?

/me isn't good with dbl dutch

Yes DALnet does have a strict limit, but this doesn't mean if you have set a longer nickname, because clients like mIRC allow one, or you can set a long one in the .conf file of your eggdrop that it would not display it or anything when you check the /whois or /who field. It will only truncate that part of the realname which exceeds the defined limit on the IRCd.

come again?

hmm you might be right, eggdrop truncates the realname on the 80-th character, and DALnet might have more generous limit on that

u mean the ircd that the eggdrop is installed on it ? or the server the eggdrop will join when its on?
because if its the server that will run on it and it will be dalnet, i dont think there is limitation on it, because i saw longer real names

maybe am wrong

anyway thanks for the reply
