Botdev / Re: Creating BNX clone for IRC

« on: September 16, 2012, 11:12:17 am »

Well, I setup all the callbacks for all word commands and I setup automatic nickname handling (collision and in-use sorts of issues).

I also found RFC 2812 and added more #defines for newer RPL and ERR numerics.

I'm thinking about how to implement the BNX wildcards. Here's a snippit from BNX.TXT

? * - matches 0 or more characters of any type
? ? - matches exactly one character of any type
? % - matches any number of non-space characters
? ~ - matches at least one space character
? \ - the literal escape character

UNIX-like systems usually provide fnmatch(3) which only covers * and ?.

This sort of wildcard matching will also need to be implemented for the access system anyway (for hostmasks).

I'm also thinking about easy and portable configuration file formats. INI seems to be very simple and sufficiently flexible for this application. There is even a library called iniparser.

Any comments?

Convert them to regular expressions.

Wyatt also has 2 articles on creating Warcraft as well, in which he describes the original intent of the *craft games, which were all supposed to be part of the same universe (Warcraft: pre technology, (Other)craft games, Starcraft: space technology).  Very good.

I enjoyed it.  I accept that it was written in 1992 so a lot of material followed the trend of "hackers are badasses different in the brain".  Enzo helped YT because of the pizza she delivered which then became rather famous (iirc).  The end half of the book or so isn't that memorable to me (it's been about a year since I last read it).  I don't even remember the president.

I remember thinking that Rife was supposed to be L Ron Hubbard and the cult as Scientology, but I'm not even sure if those things existed when it was written (Hubbard as Profit, not Hubbard as Some Guy).  Maybe that's just me making wild connections.

I'm A2 hell with 2.5k damage/20k health, and I'm having trouble, but I can find no gear at all to increase my damage without severely impacting my health, and vice versa (ie, +200 damage for -4k hp)

You're not supposed to be on Diablo until 50.  You don't even get to unlock Hell until 50.  So dumb.

And the drops in Hell A1 are vastly superior to the drops in NM A4, for no apparent reason.  I went from finding 100dps weapons in NM to finding 300 dps weapons in hell.  The jump is far greater than Norm->NM, and from what I'm told it's even bigger Hell->Inferno.
