Minor fix. You should no longer get an empty tell when you use the apf set web command. New version is 2.0.1.
-
The timer seems to be at least a few hours off it seems.. is this under our control?
-
Nvm.. found the "set" command and then just set it off of another bot.

Due to a hard drive crash I didn't have everything setup to update. The website time information is now properly updating again. As for it's accuracy, well that's another matter entirely. :)

Fixed Bug were Get time Stamp was Part of Bot Loading
and if the Server was Down it would mess up loggin
and u wouldnt be able to get your bot to load/login
basicly i removed it from there (its in cron anyway)
-
I am receiving complaints that the bot is off on time, about 2 hours 5 min is what my org mates are telling me... Is there a command I am missing to adjust the time or is the only way it will update based on the url...
Is the URL only for RK1 people cause I am guessing that is why I am off

The RK1 URL is the only one being maintained at the moment. On other dimensions you'll have to set it manually.

I am trying to find the command to set manually, can u give me command?
-
ah kept looking under !set apf instead of a command directly to the module... got it set, people told me I am 2h 5m off
let's see if it is accurate
-
The easiest way to set the timer is to be standing by the Unicorn Gatekeeper when he shouts "I'm opening the gates now!"
/tell yourbot !apf set now
Otherwise, wait until he shouts "Gates will open in X hours and XX minutes!"
/tell yourbot !apf set HH:MM:SS
You can also tweak the timer if needed.
Add time to the timer:
/tell yourbot !apf set +HH:MM:SS
Remove time to the timer:
/tell yourbot !apf set -HH:MM:SS
The APF module isn't really a timer, it uses a known time that the gates were opened to calculate when the gates will open next. Once it's set it's impressively accurate...until FunCom resets the servers. :)

last stamp is may, 8.
seems that it isn't maintained anymore :-/

It is, May 8th is plenty recent. The stamp on the web site does not need to be updated often. The timer works by using a seed time (known spawn time) to calculate future spawn times. The time stamp on the website usually only needs to be updated when FunCom restarts the servers. If it's not accurate enough, you can manually adjust the timer.
I don't keep track of how often the website time stamp gets updated, but it generally goes a long time.
Oh, and I have to fix something real quick to get updates working again, totally unrelated to the code. ;) (http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-612-1)

This is officially retired now with the 17.10 patch. Removing the module from your bot is highly recommended.
