BANLIST.txt format[Solved]

[¥ola]

i understood what you meant perfectly then

except that could be five days starting at any time

what time does it start?

Unix started January 1st 1970 at 0 seconds
So that is the reference point

40k seconds is not referenced to today

my calculator suggests it's hardly over .5 days
the guy wasn't banned for .5 days though?


oops, 40620soemthing accounts to 4.69938 days

not .5


my point still stands that 01/1/70 is nowhere near 5 days from today

Read my explanation again, because mine works perfectly now.
I may just be misunderstanding you, if so please explain further

neeeveerrrmind

anywho, january 1st 1970 is the reference point from HOW long the ban is

5 day ban = 5 days AFTER january 1st

[Lugnut]

the time is not correctly proportioned to today

if it correlated to the time when they are unbanned, then it should read something like this: 1325376000

you suggest that the time is time in seconds from when unix time started when they will be unbanned

the number is 4 place values too short to be that

instead, it correlates to the duration of the ban in seconds, however, there is no reference point for when the ban is defined

forget man no

if your statement was true, then victims would be unbanned 0 seconds after ban, because 1/1/70 has already passed!

Completely just realized this when I ran a test
aaaaaaaaa

[¥ola]

I think it's in some way related to January 5th 1970

When I did a ten minute ban it gave me 403204

Which is Monday January 5, 1970 16:00:04 GMT

[Lugnut]

assuming you're working with unix time

that could be anything
406027 //five minute ban
403204 //ten minute ban



wtf

[¥ola]

Finally got it.

I feel dumb about it as well.

Just do

(minutes of ban) + 403200 = BANLIST.txt time

Still loving wrong.
Aaaaaa

oh ninja

[Lugnut]

run this and post results

for(%i = 0; %i < 10; %i++) { banBLID(%i + 2, %i, "Banned for science!"); }

[¥ola]

run this and post results

for(%i = 0; %i < 10; %i++) { banBLID(%i + 2, %i, "Banned for science!"); }

CONSOLE   -1      2      Banned for science!   12   403222

Exact results, this can't be UNIX.

Oh!

It's the number of minutes into the year the ban will end.

The value before it is the year.

403231 is 280 days into 2012, and today is 279/280.

[¥ola]

wot

[Lugnut]

uh, what happened up there? it looks like it banned bl_id -1 for %i amount of time?


did you modify the command? that's cool, just wondering though

this adds up. why do you get a different number though?
