EggDrop Uptime

Post by ChanceZeus »

I have compiled eggdrop and it is running normally, but when I lookup the uptime on the egghead uptime site, my bots are marked as untrustworthy. I didn't mess with the code of the uptime module and I have the 1.6.15 version. Does anyone know what's the problem. I'm running SuSE Linux 8.x as OS on an PII 233MHz.

"Why is my bot marked as untrustworthy?"

Your bot's uptime is based off the original uptime value you send -- for some reason people cheat and change this original value to make their bot look like it has a higher uptime than it really does. So to help prevent cheating if the first packet your bot sends has an uptime greater than 4 days it will be marked as untrustworthy. There is also a bug in the uptime module for Eggdrop v1.6.10 and below, where if you type ".restart" the module will be unloaded and reloaded -- and the uptime value changes because of this. This bug has been corrected in Eggdrop v1.6.11 and your bot should no longer be marked as untrustworthy if you ".restart".
