why all the bold ???

the module currently only supports $nick$ and $network$... and while the module can be changed to allow more keywords, I don't really see the point of using a random number...

Might make more sense to use an incremental number, start at 0 or 1 and then just continue onwards.

Maybe a truncated MD5 of the nickname, or something similar?

That has the possibility (though very low) of two people getting the exact same host.

Both nicks will result in the same vhost because certain characters are valid for nicknames, but not for hosts... originally this module didn't even set vhosts for that kinda nicknames..

Both an MD5 and a random number leave the possibility of two people getting the same host..
As for an incremental number, the counter wouldn't survive an anope restart and a DB for a simply module like this is a bit overkill imho...

As for how to do it, it will require the module code to be modified...

if it's id$random.nick it will hardly get 2 same host
and what about $random1.$random2.$random3 ( this is too hard )

what do u think ?
i wish it work any way of them

my users keep ask me day and night for fixing it
if u can please make it work , plz do it :)

thank you for help

The hs_nethost module isn't a bad module and would be awesome if it worked 100% of the time though (despite the easy ability to abuse it).

Also, why focus with automatic virtual hosts? As mentioned in my first statement, that just calls for abuse. If a user is banned from a channel all (s)he has to do is register a new nick and viola!

If you're wanting that to cloak users masks from showing their IP/host, you can always include a cloaking system in your IRCD.

It's a poorly coded module which works only 50% of the time anyways.

Because you're god's gift to module authoring :)

The post was modified. Also, no, I don't need to be a "gift" to be able to tell if a module does or does not work. :P Criticism is what makes things better (yes, I understand I could have been nicer in my reply, which is why I edited it).

You don't think the way it was coded has anything to do with whether it works or not?

Almost 500 downloads and a rating of 3.5/5 is more useful than your remark about something being poorly coded; can you do better? If so, go for it.

No, I probably could not do better but that has nothing to do with it. If you went to a restaurant and a cook served you poor tasting food, do you have the right to say it doesn't taste good when you yourself probably couldn't do better?

I pay for food in the restaurant so your argument is moot.

I don't know how long kids in the UK stay at school until or how poor your knowledge of timezones is, but school is out. :)

(That was a hint to drop it)

What do you mean? As in it doesn't always assign the vhost?

Also re: OP, would it not be easy for someone with a bit of C experience to add a new variable called $random for him?
