egghelp/eggheads community Discussion of eggdrop bots, shell accounts and tcl scripts. 2002-10-17T17:15:18-04:00 https://forum.eggheads.org/app.php/feed/topic/2815 2002-10-17T17:15:18-04:00 2002-10-17T17:15:18-04:00 https://forum.eggheads.org/viewtopic.php?p=12095#p12095 <![CDATA[An idea for an eggdrop mod..]]>
The first, aand most major point, is that eggdrop is not a client. Clients use user interaction, and provide easy to use interfaces, for day -to-day use on IRC, while eggdrop, is autonamous, and has to rely solely on a pre-programed set of instructions (modules or Tcl scripts).

I reality, mIRC script, is not a programming language. It's a basic set of instructions, using the commands provided for normal IRC interaction by the user.

Instead of totaly re-writting the parser, and creating a whole new language, like they should have done, they simply added, and added onto a rubbish parser.

A programing language, is supposed to be based, on a few simple staments, from which, the language can build itself. Then, the language should provide simple functions, fro interaction in other places.

In mirc, these simpelm statments exist, only to be converted into somthing new, by adding stupid options to them.

mIRC script, in this case, would be very hard to impliment, as a lanugage to eggdrop.

Tcl is very easy to learn, allmost as simple as mIRC script.

Once you know the structure of the code, it's a simpel case, of learning the arguments used in commands, which can be done on the go.

How about someone write a module that could parce basic mirc script (Basic as in support for ON events like on join, and things like that)? I know jack all about TCL, and the simplist things like voicing someone on a channel takes LOTS of code compared to mirc script.

Just an idea.. You could like save a .mrc in the scripts directory and set the module to read it like .mircscript +scripts/onjoin.mrc or something
