yes but i dont know what i must write :S i am confused about date times and i dont know how timezone/offset works

I'm in the US, east coast, my time zone is "EST" (Eastern Standard Time) and the offset here is -5 (minus 5 hours from GMT (Grenwich Mean Time, the 0 point for time zones..) Presumably greece is a few hours ahead of GMT. You can google info about your time zone.

you're in EET timezone and the offset is +2 (+3 in daylight saving)

The time is the time on the box the eggdrop is running on, NOT where you actually live.

Where is your shell located ? what country? that may help us a little to start with.

These might help, assuming your shell is linux..If not, try googling "setting <some shell/platform> timezone" where <some shell/platform> might be "bsd" or "bash" or whatever your particular case may be.

kill the bot, then start again
another way to set this up:

Code: Select all

set env(TZ) "EET +2"

If you put in the settings shown to you here into your conf file and they do not alter the time show when using ctcp TIME, there are 2 possible reasons:
1) your bot is "stuffed", recompiling may help
2) if it is your shell; then I suggest discussing it with the admins and if that doesn't work, find another shell (you should be able to have the time displayed how you want)
