| Code: | Linking QuakeIRCd 2.1-Amber and UnrealIRCd 3.2.7.
=================================================
- QuakeIRCd is based on Unreal3.2 Beta 17 - This means basic link function should work.
- Any Unreal additions after 3.2 Beta 17 probably wont work on the Quake side.
- Any Quake additions probably wont work on the Unreal side.
- I have only tested this with unencrypted, non-ssl links - but they *should* work, I don't see any reason why they wouldn't.
- It appears that each ircd ignores modes and such that it does not support - However I may be entirely wrong about this.
- The primary purpose of this is to allow migration from one ircd to the other. I suggest using the modified ircd as a bridge server - ie: don't let clients use it.
The actual editing is rather simple, as only Quake appears to care about the connecting protocol version:
TL;DR - CHANGE THE FOLLOWING AND DON'T CRY IF IT DOESN'T WORK
File: s_serv.c
Line 1515 to 1527
#ifndef EMUPROTO
if ((protocol != QuakeProtocol) && (protocol != 0))
{
sendto_realops
("WARNING Link %s killed for running an incompatible protocol q%li while we are running %li!",
cptr->name, protocol, QuakeProtocol);
sendto_serv_butone(&me,
":%s SMO o :\2(sync)\2 WARNING Link %s killed for running an incompatible protocol, p%li while %s is running %li!",
me.name, cptr->name, protocol, me.name, QuakeProtocol);
return exit_client(cptr, sptr, &me,
"Link denied (Incompatible IRCd/Version)");
}
#endif
Just replace that with the following:
#ifndef EMUPROTO
if ((protocol != QuakeProtocol) && (protocol != 0))
{
sendto_realops("WARNING Link %s is running an incompatible protocol q%li while we are running %li!",cptr->name, protocol, QuakeProtocol);
}
#endif

That's the second line of your post. Unreal 3.2.7 is WAY past any beta version of Unreal it has changed. So they won't likely link. |

then why bother? IRCd's are supposed to work perfectly, not kinda. |

I've done far more ircd changes than you think I have. This is pointless. I've done them on networks with thousands of users and never needed a "gateway", again .. pointless.

| I know who you are, but I really don't care. If someone wants to use this, fine. If they don't, I'm not about to get insulted by it. It's an option, nothing more. |

At no time was I ever insulting you. If you really know me as you claim, you would know that.
Additionally, you never really "discussed" anything, which is what this forum is about ... discussing software, not pasting source code and hope people can read your mind. You just pasted code but no point was made and as such I had to "guess" at the purpose of the thread other than just jibberish. in fact I almost deleted it.
If you would have said in your original post that "hey, this might be a useful gateway" I would have completely ignored this thread. Instead you left ambiguity and this is where the thread has lead.
Good Luck. |
