I have 6 bots,
BotA
BotB
BotC
BotD
BotE
BotF

BotA
|-BotB
| |+BotC
| `-BotD
|-BotE
`-BotF

BotA is hub to BotB,E,F
BotB is hub to BotC,D where BotC is supposed to share #channel info ONLY.

BotC also knows BotA as alternative, but when its sharing with BotB, its userfile is overwritten by that of BotB completely erasing data of the BotA alternative.

How do i prevent it? I mean i dont want the whole of the user list to be overwritten, i only want #channel's bans, modes, etc, as well as users and every other thing pertaining to #channel to be shared by BotC from BotB, which isnt happening and is sharing almost the whole thing.

I followed egghelp's botnet linking method.
Flags of BotB on BotC -
Can't find anyone matching that
(This happened cuz the userfile got overwritten- it failed to have the record of its hub, is it common?)

Flags of BotC on BotB -
[04:55] #Yourname# whois BotC
HANDLE PASS NOTES FLAGS LAST
Watchdog yes 0 b 04:52 (#channel)
#channel fos 04:52
HOSTS: *!?BotC@212.97.205.0
BOT FLAGS: s
ADDRESS: 212.97.205.0
users: 3485, bots: 3469

And, BotC is also losing the data of its hub too, i.e BotA, if i whois BotA on BotB it sez cant find anyone matching that.

Im totally confused.

this is because BotB does not have a userrecord for itself

as for the other problem, you cannot selectivly share like you're trying. if you share, you automatically share all users. the channel specific shares only relate to the sharing of the flags/bans etc for those chans.

simple answer to this is to make sure BotA and BotB are added to BotB with correct addresses.
