Remove listen on Ch zero #22

Closed Miro-Collas closed 9 months ago

Miro-Collas commented 1 year ago

I think most people these days are used to giving commands to scripts on non-zero chat channels. Removing the open listen on Ch0 would reduce server lag, as local chat would not need to be parsed by the server to see if anything needs to be passed to the script.

A less desirable option would be to make it optional, defaulting to OFF (no listen on Ch0), but with a menu option to turn it on.

Channel 0 only listens for the owner itself, not scripts by the owner, and it's more new user friendly. I'd wager that the channel 1 listener induces a lot more lag than the current channel 0 setting since it listens for messages from all sources, and a lot of other products use channel 1.

I didn't suggest Ch1 - it could be any (positive) value. Also, the listen could be not only on some other channel, it could also list for messages only from the owner.

Anyway, ok.
