Well, I been trying to find out my when I add credits to a users account in a baja script. This is what happens


I want to add 1000 credits and for some reason it adds 1,024,000 credits to the users account, and not just 1000 like I wanted, any one have any ideas about whats gong on.


Thanks

Joe

I think baja.html pretty much spells it out:

ADJUST_USER_CREDITS <#>
args: adj
------------------------
This function is used to add or subtract credits from the current user. The 'adj' argument must be either a positive or negative number (in Kilobytes). Example, to subtract 100K in credits from the current user:
ADJUST_USER_CREDITS -100

If you want finer adjustment of user creditss (not in Kilobyte increments), you'll need to use another method (JS or moduser.dat or something).

1,024,000 is 1,000K. Lookit:

ADJUST_USER_CREDITS <#>
args: adj
------------------------
This function is used to add or subtract credits from the current
user. The 'adj' argument must be either a positive or negative number
(in Kilobytes). Example, to subtract 100K in credits from the current
user:

ADJUST_USER_CREDITS -100


Notice the "(in Kilobytes)" which by the way is *wrong* because you don't measure Credits in bytes, Kilo- or otherwise, but in any event the number
you specify is in KiloCredits. So you can't add 1,000 but you can add
1,024 by doing

ADJUST_USER_CREDITS 1

Ok, thats why. I thought 100 credit ment 100 credits, not 100k in credits. Thanks. Thats what I needed

:-)

Initially, credits only applied to file transfers, so 1 credit = 1 byte (basically). Hence the reference to "kilobytes" in the baja docs.
