MTA:MA - Flood timeout 'bug'.

[Aeron]

To much "mta.say"'s or "mta.msg"'s in one event can time-out all players.

Therefor I made varity of "mta.say" and "mta.msg", which adds a delay and prevents flooding the server.

What do YOU do:

1. Add the following code in a EMPTY script file.

2. Replace in ALL scripts (Except from the edit-protection scripts: GRS for example) "mta.say" with "mta.tsay" and "mta.msg" with "mta.tmsg"

alias mta.tsay {
 var %a = 1,%b = 0
 while (%a <= $timer(0)) {
   if (mta.say* iswm $timer(%a).com) {
     !inc %b
   }
   !inc %a
 }
 !.timer 1 %b mta.say $1-
}
alias mta.tmsg {
 var %a = 1,%b = 0
 while (%a <= $timer(0)) {
   if (mta.msg* iswm $timer(%a).com) {
     !inc %b
   }
   !inc %a
 }
 !.timer 1 %b mta.msg $1-
}

Aeron out.

This should also fix the 0x093249blah error.

Also, if it still doesn't sort itself, turn off as many things as you can in GRS (welcome message, gstats, nickserv) as GRS on it's own can cause the timeout bug. /me slaps Oli

Couldnt you this just put in a MTA:MA update/revision?

[Si|ent]

I did suggest that to Aeron the evening that he was fixing this, I forget the reason he gave that he couldn't do so though.

Lazyness??

Cant think of any other thing for not making a small update
