UnrealIRCd Forums

I need your assistance, I have a unrealircd.
On my channels do I see that the length of the messages are limited has 451 or 450 characters, I would like to know how I can increase this limit?
I sought in the docs and the source code... nothing... helped me!
Thank You

You cant increase this. Not to mention the limit is 512 bytes per raw IRC message. Which consists of 2 :'s the nick!ident@host of the sender, "PRIVMSG" and the recipient whether a channel or nick. So if any of those are exceptionally long, the actual message will be shorter.

As Jobe mentioned, the current message length is limited to 512 bytes, which includes all the fun stuff you don't really see on your client. Currently Unreal's message length is as long as it could possibly be. Any longer and you risk messages being cut, if you make the overall length longer, you'll break clients.
