Well.. I've seen "my bot get this error and that error".. sigh.. I fixed everything.. And it wasnt hard.. But.. I just cant find how I send the userfile to all bots after I've changed in my masterbot.. I want a command like .resync or .send userfile or something like that.. If you can help me.. pls do so..

userfiles are kept in sync automatically after they start sharing. if for some reason you wanna hard sync them, you gotta unlink and relink them

actually, i just remembered there is another way. unloading and reloading the share module will have the same effect

As petersen said.

One the bots have linked, and shared the userfile with each other, there is no need to hard sync them again.

To save bandwidth, every change that is made, is shared there and then on the spot, using the botnet.

While you maybe changing many user records, only sharing the information on one record is quicker, and less wastful than sharing a whole file.

Even with compression, a 250 user userfile, with about 1 change per minute, will cause a lot of traffic under this model (based on 70 bytes per record, each consisting of 5 lines).

While, using the current system, means that for each change, requires only (eg) 14 bytes accross the botnet per change.

Thats a saving of easily MB's per hour.
