Send rightclicks on join

[pR0Ps]

Now, before I even launch into this post, let me make one thing clear. I'm not an idiot, and I'm not looking for people to troll me with ridiculous negative comments. I'm looking for some ideas/workarounds.

I'm trying to find out if there is any way to get the hub to tell a user to send commands. That way, instead of sending all the right click commands at once, you could send them one at a time with a small delay in between and not overflow the buffer. This could also be useful in other instances with other commands.

I don't need a working script or anything I just need to know if and how the hub could tell the user to request the command. An example would behave the hub make the user say "!getmcmd Hub Config" or equivalent.

There was a post called "On Connect Cmds" (http://forum.ptokax.org/index.php?topic=5946.0), but it's for an older API and doesn't work (the translation doesn't work either, the functionality seems to have been removed with the upgrades) with the current version (which is what i'm running).

Any help would be much appreciated as this is quite an annoyance for users and OPs alike. I myself prefer text commands, but the right-click menu is good for noobs and it kind of defeats the purpose if its not already in place and you have to do something special (which noobs won't know how to do) to get the commands you want.

No offense meant, just split your post because it does not directly belong to the topic you have posted it to.

This is not the [you know which group of people].

This is possible to send out in chunks. I am not that big NMDC guru but nothing prevents one from sending rightclick data in say 2-command chunks. The commands obviously need to be complete.
This can be done with a timer and coroutines.

This is complicated for rightclicks and can be done hubside.

For me it's unclear whether you script it for yourself but if it is not really urgent then I can help you with this because this would be a coding experiment that I am interested in.

So it can be done? How would I go about doing it? Or did you mean can't?

Mutor: I actually don't know much about the read buffer and all that jazz, I was just going off Snooze's post where he explains that the reason he wont let the users get all the right click options at once is because it would overflow the buffer. Plus, asking a lot of inexperienced users to go mess around in the advanced (ooooh) options is asking a lot of them. Some of them have trouble just downloading Apex lol

PS. No offense meant with telling you guys I'm not an idiot, I've just had too many occurrences of me posting a question and people responding with "why would you want to do that?" or "why aren't you doing this instead?" or other useless posts.

The script you posted is clientside and sends commands to certain hubs when connecting to them. If you would like to rape the hub so you send an automated command and the hub then sends back the right click... up to you. However, it's easier to make the hub send the right click in chunks (e. g. amount of data divided by default buffer size) by default. However, we need to know what we are about to send.

Mutor: While I generally agree with teaching people things instead of spoon feeding them the answer, in this case, most people wouldn't get it at all and would give up on DC++ entirely. In this case it isnt really a big deal to just split up the sending of menus instead of sending them all at once.

The more common way to accomplish your goal is to send a few simple
user commands that actually request the extended menus.

This is what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to set it up so on entrance, the commands get sent automatically (in the "User/Reg/OPConnected(user)" function) when the user logs on. I'm not to worried about overflowing the buffer by getting them all at the same time, I'm fine with sending them all separately. Currently there is no way to send them all at once anyway (Snooze disabled it because of the buffer thing).

This is what I am trying to accomplish; A hubside script that will give users the right click menu when they connect. I have the right clicks menus split up into small manageable chunks, I am just at a loss as to how to send them to the user. Ex. i have "!getcmd DiXBoT Config Cmd", "!getcmd Hub Statistics" etc. Am I on the right track here, or would I need to find out what the hub actually sends to the user when they use these commands and emulate that?

Thanks Mutor A preliminary glance tells me it's exactly what I'm looking for.
