Forums mIRC Help Netsplit detection script?

Hello,

Is there a way/code to make mIRC ignore all join/quit messages for a certain duration after detecting a certain amount of joins/quits in a duration of time?

More specifically, I want mIRC to detect more than 5 joins or quits within a 3 second period and ignore any more for like 10 seconds.

The reason is because as of now netsplits cause a large amount of joins and quits, and freezes up mIRC for a good minute or so.

This should work...


Edit: Unset variables on start incase of quit during netsplit.

Awesome.

Seems to have worked. :>

One more question. I am trying to make the code you gave me echo something like "Netsplit detected. Ignoring joins/quits for the next 10 seconds."

However, I haven't been successful.

Any ideas?

Should just have to add:
echo -a Netsplit detected. Ignoring joins/quits for the next 10 seconds
after the "set -u10 %netsplit 1" lines.

That will only kinda work. I mean, 5 people joining the same channel could indicate a split but consider this:

I'm on #chan1,#chan2,#chan3,#chan4,#chan5.

My friend, who also goes to those same channels just connected to IRC, so he types:
/join #chan1,#chan2,#chan3,#chan4,#chan5

That script will register that as a netsplit. Imho a better way to do it would be to do something like %<thescid>.<thechannel>.<netsplitc>

The scid is because the same problem can potentially occur if 2 people join #chan1 @ DALnet and 1 joins #chan1 @ Undernet and 2 join #chan1 @ EFnet (assuming I'm on all those channels).
