Show away on the DC++ tag

Post by majinsoftware » 2004-01-15 07:52

is it posable to add show away on the DC++ tag so the tag is like <++ V:0.306,M:A,H:1/0/0/,S:3,A:T> A: for away and T or F for true or false.

Thanx.

actually if you checked $MyINFO already has a place for away, just most clients dont seem to take advantage of it.

MyINFO has a special byte, don't add any more crap to the tag:

The Wiki wrote: $MyINFO $ALL <nick> <description>$ $<connection><flag>$<e-mail>$<sharesize>$|

* <nick> Nickname // without spaces
* <description> User description
* <connection> User connection to the internet.

// Default NMDC1 connections types 28.8Kbps, 33.6Kbps, 56Kbps, Satellite, ISDN, DSL, Cable, LAN(T1), LAN(T3)
// Default NMDC2 connections types Modem, DSL, Cable, Satellite, LAN(T1), LAN(T3)

* <flag> User status as ascii char

// 1 = normal, 2 and 3 = away, 4 and 5 = server, 6 and 7 = server away, 8 and 9 = fireball, 10 and 11 = fireball away
// server = client have uptime > 2 hours, > 2 GB shared, upload > 200 MB
// fireball = upload > 100 kB/s

* <e-mail> User email adress
* <sharesize> Share size in bytes

// All characters except $ and | are allowed

And having forced away-broadcasting is probably not a suitable solution when it comes to bandwidth use. But that doesn't imply that dc++ should not "understand" the magic bytes. ;))
Everyone is supposed to download from the hubs, - I don´t know why, but I never do anymore.
