How can I use the precompiled Eggdrop that the Shells come with?

Thanks

in fusion, just type "get" and follow instructions.

Thanks, but would this work with scripts like Trivia and Uno, or would I have to compile it with them?

Trivia scripts are using very much of server resources so they are not recomended.

The script you simply put in the "scripts" directory in your eggdrop home.
Running trivia/uno scripts are completely at your own risk, if it takes too much CPU or anything your account will get suspended.

Would it really use that much cpu? It's really just an auto-reply that checks what the person said against the question db. Does anyone else run them, and do they run ok?

Compare it: just moving your mouse uses up to 50% CPU-time on modern computers. Even an idle eggdrop uses a lot of CPU-time.

Noone currently runs one but I'm nto about to stop you from doing so. In the unlikely event it does cause a problem it will be killed and you will be informed of the problem, little else will happen unless we're in a really bad mood and don't want to bother with you

Thanks, but this would be on Fusion. Would Krod allow it also?

Fusions isn't accepting new users at present time for a couple of reasons and even if it was then it is likely that there would be no problem.

Should I resubmit my application? I chose Fusion as the server, but I didn't know it wasn't accepting users.

No, don't worry about it, if a requested server is unavailable we just add you elsewhere. As there are only 3 servers right now and I've ordered that no new users be added to 2 of these it only leaves one.
When krod can come back more full timish then fusion should be back to having new users.

i find that if you want to use a trivia script you are alot better using a mirc addone like tats trivia or something like that, as you notice when using tats trivia if you have a huge question database it runs slow between questions and the computer you are running the script on is alot slower to, imagine what it would do to a computer that is running a whole assortment of other things aswell ie one of these servers.
