Possible to have sentinel set +MR

2005-05-07T05:01:37-04:00

i'm using sentinel.tcl v2.70-DALnet (standalone) but i dont know why the +R mode doesn't set -R back after channel being join part flooded by spammers that i think before. bot was sets mode +R but after i'm waiting 1 hour left +R still on channel modes. is this probably from "set sl_bfmaxbans" then the bot always repeat +R mode? before i'm only set sl_bfmaxbans 20 and now i've changing sentinel.tcl "set sl_bfmaxbans 100".

thanks for your help.
regards,
qwek

I beleive a variable in the netset.tcl such as for ex.

#Set your network here:
#Undernet = 1
#Efnet = 2
#And so on......
set network "1" would do the trick!!

Of course you would adjust the main tcl to work with this!!

I beleive slennox should add a variable where you choose the network of your bot and according to that specific modes are made!!

Would be simpler than creating scripts for every network!

To check which network you have set would require a script too...

I also, just opened the file, and replaced the settings
on all where I could match "+mi" to "+mR" where I found,
"-mi" to "-mR", and same for if "mi" modes, if there were
any there.

Then I did an individual character replace for "+i" to "+R"
and "-i" to "-R" and that did it.

You have to replace the modes on quite alot of places, but
if you do all 100% sucessfully, the unclocking of +mR, to
-mR would be done by the script.

I think it would be a good idea in the next version of sentinel
not to use predefined modelock variables, and let the users
set the mode variables themselves, which would be easy, as
some networks don't have some network modes, which others
do.

Like some people on DALnet use +c (no colors) it is good for
avalanche/tsunami floods. Some might like +i, or +m, +M,
+R and so on, depending upon their channel.

Some floodbots have registered nicks, so +M is rendered useless
and so is +R, therefore I replaced "+mi" by "+mR" and not by "+MR".
Although only I mode setting would be enough I think, which
is "+m", as it is the most effective, registered nicks even can't
speak in a channel with +m and as flood bots when they join in
they wont be voiced so quickly so +m will work. "+i" is also considered
effective but it would block out users on big channels, so I guess
"+m" is the most effective one.

Sentinel sets mode lock in two variables, thats why we have
to define both, maybe with a little adjustment we can put simply
one as well.

Undernet mode r version

2004-03-14T07:27:26-04:00

Thanks to search- and replace: I added two variables.

Code:

# Dalnet uses different modes for locking a channel, undernet has more r (restricted). # Here you can change the default settingsset sl_achanmode "m"# Valid settings: m (default), M for dalnet.set sl_bchanmode "i"# Valid settings: i (default), r for restricted access (Undernet), R for dalnet.

This Beta (please do not distribute it) is tested and all changed procs are marked with ### CHANGE

The Beta is here: http://pixelsndots.com/dl/sentinel_r_beta.tcl.gz

Good idea?

+M doesn't reset if R is locked...

Excellent tool!

I tried the "updated" DAL version. Found when +R is locked by founder +M won't reset. Appears it sees chanserv unlock the +R and stops... selectable flags would be nice...

That is the intention with the next version. This is a stopgap release to shut the DALnet users up, with the quickest and most reliable implementation chosen.

Maybe the possibility of creating a new setting, that would allow the user to choose the flags being set.

I havn't looked at the code,s o I don't know how hard it is, but there must be a way, to maintain one copy, and have the user maintin responsibility.

Unlocking works great now, removes +MR. I keep the channel limited with your chan limiting tcl. So my bots can't ever really get massivly flooded. Only 10 at a time.

All is working great.

I've corrected the problem with the uc commands and updated the files at the links above. You can tell whether you have the newer version by the header (the date will be 10 November instead of 7 November).

Well, I tried the lc command it sets +MR uc removes mi and MR stays.

Thats gonna need some tweaking.

As for a flood it sets MR works nicely removes MR nicely.

Ill let you know how it goes, Ill drop it on all the bots I control (13) and let you know if they have any issue's they vary from Windrops to Eggdrops. So Ill keep you up to date.

Btw Thanks a lol

It is not hard per se for me to do it, but it would be an irritation to add an Undernet version to the mix, creating a total of six different current sentinel releases. For you to do it, it's a little bit more than replacing "+i" with "+r", you need to check all instances the letter "i" and examine their context.

One thing I should add is that these "lighter" modes allowing registered users in create a hole. Registered floodnets are not unknown on DALnet (never underestimate the free time kiddies have), and when sentinel locks the channel it expects to deal with a few residual flooders at most, not a situation where the whole floodnet can still do its worst. So it's the old trade-off between convenience and security -- you trade away a little security (no protection against registered floodnets) and gain some convenience (allowing registered users to join/speak during the lock). This will be noted in the documentation of the next release.

hi, since this post is open, i thought its better to ask here, since undernet is also allowing to use +r, just registered user will be able to join the channel, so its better than +i, is it hard to change +i to +r??in sentinel? or its gonna effect on the script? or just replace +i to +r?

thanks
