well the most reg only hubs using luadch i know are only regging by nick, because nick changes arent wanted by hubowners. most users dont even know that they are in an adc hub, where nick changes are possible. i tried it in my own hub a while ago to explain what pid and cid is, where to find the pid and why the entry of the pid in dcplusplus.xml is called "cid" etc pp it sucks. (but maybe i am simply a poor annotator )FleetCommand wrote: Normal users are not needed to be informed about CID at all, they don't care, just enter to a hub, search, download, etc. But when you register someone by CID and you tell him that "hey, you're registered by CID which is cool since that means that you can come in with different nicks if you want. just don't forget to copy and save the pid in the settings to your new client if you replace your dc and your reg will remain. also, never tell anyone your pid because if you do so they can stole your reg", they will understand you. A note that I'm not talking about the "+regme fjsdlkfj" users, they simply suck, but if you reg a vip or an op, he will understand it.
as long the major dc clients dont provide an easy way to manage pid/cid so that normal users can understand and handle it , its more or less useless. at the momemt the dc++ gui is still "nmdc based", nick is most important, pid can be found somewhere under advanced settings where no one wants to go. in "favorite hubs" pid/cid isnt even mentioned
in luadch you can execute most commands like ban, reg etc via nick, cid or sid (which is kind of overhead). for me the best way is using ucmd in client and execute it by siddarkKlor wrote: Well I wrote a hub command to get around that
