I'm not familiar with NMDCH2, so I don't know how to do it, but as for what he meant by "copying user", it's proably importing the names / passwords / op status from the old NMDCH's frmHub.lstOPs into the new hub (thus saving a lot of typing if you 500 reged users and their passwords to migrate). Wo...

ButterflySoul

You should also note that SDCH allows serving on multiple ports. So if you simply added 1490 at the end of the default ports, you will end up with that setting being "1411;411;1490" This in itself, is perfectly fine, even if only 1490 is opened on your router/firewall. The hub will be serving on 141...

i have around 60 users per day (...) but 2 users cannot connect

The first thing to do is ask those 2 users to try and connect to another hub and see if it works (to rule out a config problem on their end, which is the most likely scenario here).

ButterflySoul

The general idea of peer-to-peer softwares is that 2 clients transfer the data directly from each other. The hub can know who requests a connection to whom and assume a file transfer is going to occur in between the 2 clients, but it really has no way of knowing from there how many files are going t...

ButterflySoul

If you know a hub that's part of a network of hubs, the best way to find more about that specific network is to check their boards or ask the owner of the hub how to join. Because each of them have different rules and conditions for joining, it's very hard to answer your question from a general pers...

Oh, I almost forgot... If you want a list of which hub software supports which scripting language, go have a look on the very good FAQ from :

http://www.broadbandreports.com/faq/dc?r=683
(The section 7 and 7.1 of it)

ButterflySoul

The script you saw is a script in VBS (Visual Basic Script). They are commonly used on the "old" neomodus hub (NMDCH), but there are many alternative hub softwares out there that will run VBS scripts as well. For example Ryalth's DC Hub (RDCH), old versions of SBHub (recent versions run with pascal ...

ButterflySoul

Essentially, what the NOP said is right. If your hub is down, you can't redirect them via scripting or anything, since there's no hub there to connect to (and be redirected from) in the first place. However, there are 2 main 100% automated solutions available : 1) Instead of having a basic dns servi...

ButterflySoul

where do i get the software to do this? Depends on which hub software you want to run... That probably leads to the next question "which hub software should I run ?".. The answer really depends on you, and what you want to do with the hub once it's running. For example, if you know a little about p...

what else can be done to extend the delays before other commands is execute? You can use a timer (set it to 2 seconds, and keep it turned off ), and put the 2 "batches" of commands in 2 different subs. Also declare a global variable at script level to keep track of the timer : 1) Launch the sub tha...

ButterflySoul

While you can look at it as a pause, it is however not a "timed" pause for a fixed amount of (mili)seconds, but clearly a hold in the original thread to go "Do" the "Events" that pilled up while it was executing... If you put 2 DoEvents in a row, the first DoEvents will hold/pause your script for a ...

ButterflySoul

DoEvents is commonly used to ensure messages are sent, but it is not its only use, not even in DC scripting. Here is an example of DoEvents not related to message delivery : Sub DictClean(objDict) Dim x, aClean aClean = objDict.Keys For x = 0 to objDict.Count-1 If Not colUsers.Online(cstr(aClean(x))...

ButterflySoul

Personally, I'd recommend giving an eye to the very neat FAQ on http://www.broadbandreports.com/faq/dc?r=683

To setup a hub, the section 7 and 7.1 of the faq should help you get started =)

sdch has really surprised me, would like to test it with some gadget scripts, but cant find the converter Just for the record, some of Gadget's scripts have been re-written especially for SDCH.

If i take the code and put it into a script, then move the script file into the /scripts directory they will auto run when the hub starts correct? They will auto run when the hub starts, indeed.

ButterflySoul

By the way, those 2 scripts don't detect people with less than 1 slot before they send results to regular passive searches from other users. If you want to force each client to always send you a few search results each time they connect or change their slot settings, just let me know and I can add a...

are you sure this is even possible? It's not only possible, but it's also the only way it will work. even if you open the correct ports you can't connect to your own external ip can you?

you mean the router IP or my ADSL IP The IP from your router, as seen from the "outside" (meaning as seen by computers that are on the net).

ButterflySoul

Give an eye to www.hublist.org and look if you can find it.
If you know the names of people who were in that hub, you can also look for them on that website, and see in which hubs they currently are. So you could also pay them a visit and ask them about it, if you really can't find it.

ButterflySoul

There are hub scripts that handle these messages for the neo modus clients; however it's also built-in DC++ (it's the /away and /back commands). If you prefer them handled at hub level, or want to support them for NeoModus clients as well, there are scripts in the script library (that's the sticky p...

ButterflySoul

The way ivul suggested still makes more sense. Obviously, if you're going to make some checks on $MyInfo to validate it against hub-specific rules, you don't need to send the nicklist before the $MyInfo is validated. If you're going to kick the client right after, it's just a big waste of bandwidth....

Bots are just scripts. They aren't users. They don't need to "connect". They are part of the server =)
If you check the help.script, that comes with the neomodus hub, you'll see that there is this command :

'RegisterBotName(sName as string) Add a bot's name to the oplist.

That's how you do it

ButterflySoul

Just thinking...what if I put two NICs in the server box and ran it right after the dsl router?

That will work fine, as long as you have a proxy software on the server box (or if you don't want the other computers to have access to the internet as well).

ButterflySoul

But then you have the problem that it really blocks ALL external traffic

Ooops. Sorry... For a second, I thought your original question was to make your hub accessible only via internal traffic from your LAN. :wink:

It would probably be a bit better if you told us a bit what you need help with exactly.. For example, what is the script supposed to do, and what exactly doesn't work with it ?

so only the computers on my Lan can access it? Easy. Ban your router, or block it with a firewall.

How are they finding it? A while ago when running a test hub to develop scripts, I noticed the NMDC hub doesn't always respect your wishes of "not auto-registering".
