Ok so heres the deal, I found this addon for netbots the other day called cdiss which rocks, I have a rather large botnet and I am totally hip on the "call for backup" feature so that way it doesn't look like my channels over run, anyways the problem I have is that when I set a netbots group to join the channel and if there's over 4 bots in that netbot group, then it triggers sentinels flood protection and locks down the channel, so I was wondering if someone could give me an idea of what I need to add to sentinel to make bots exempt from the flod protections (at least the join flood protection) and if this is even possible.

Thanks before hand Smile

(and I'm a noob when it comes to coding so be nice Smile

Bots simply having global 'f' or 'of' flags set should fix it.

Well I thought it would too to be honest but it doesn't they still trigger the ban.
[ BotNick]: HANDLE PASS NOTES FLAGS LAST
[ BotNick]: Bot1 yes 0 bfloN 10 Feb (linked)

(note I changed the nicks there but that's what they're all flagged as)

If each is recognised by the other then it should not happen. Just re-check addresses of each and make sure they "know" eachother.

Nope, checked that too, they add their hosts via botnetop, and they all recognize each other, you know I might just change the flood setting to just over the number of bots that join.

This is definitely a sentinel ban being imposed? I ask as bans imposed by it are all prefixed 'sentinel'.

Internal flood control is probably the solution.

Well it's not a ban, they just lock the channel, and do the channel notice, like the other protections on sentinel kick in

that's what I'm lookin to get around, sorry if I was leading ya down the wrong track Smile

. No bans are set, but the channel gets set +mi and they do the notice, I tweakd my settings and adjusted the number of bots I have as 'backup' and changed the join flood settings in sentinel for the time being

sentinel doesn't respond to join floods, only join-part floods. Check the bot's log and see what type of flood it is detecting.
