View Full Version : Fixed :: Random players lose XP randomly
slmclarengt 04-10-2007, 10:18 AM At times, a player will post on my forums asking for XP back because it was suddenly lost. After some investigation of their time played, I usually authorize it, but this should not be happening. This problem more than likely roots to the storage.inl file which contains all information to save XP, retrieve and modify data in the uwc3 MySQL database. I think what may be happening is the user leaves or does something out of the ordinary when a MySQL query is being performed leaving the query unfinished and probably modifies the wrong data or does something out of the ordinary as well.

Smokey 04-10-2007, 10:21 AM If this is what I think it is, it sounds like its due to the STEAMID_PENDING bug that would load the XP for the STEAMID_PENDING user, and once the user verified their steam ID and disconnected, their XP would be overwritten by the STEAMID_PENDING user instead of their own.
Fix was to stop the loading of XP while the user was in the non verified state, and only after becomming verified would it load their XP - and is located here:

Ive had the fix in production use for months now, since putting the fix into place I have not had even one complaint about loss of xp.
Smokey 01-09-2008, 02:39 PM Confirmed and fixed by waiting until player_authed(id) to load XP
vickers 11-17-2008, 10:29 AM smokey i have the same problem on version 1.7.51 players complain about losing xp what should i do ? the link u put it it`s not working for me and i so on another server the version 1.7.53 i wondering if u can give it to me or what should i do to fix the problem !
Smokey 11-17-2008, 11:05 AM If your using 1.7.51 then that fix is already in the code base.
Is this a steam server?
Is this a LAN server?
vickers 11-17-2008, 11:10 AM is lan server(public non-steam) i diden`t manage to make the plugin work and don`t give that bug a little help ? i will be glade to report any bugs and put a link on my website to yaur page !or maiby u can give me the 1.7.53 plugin!
Smokey 11-17-2008, 02:15 PM I have heard of people who dont use steam or use lan servers having problems. Since I dont have either of those I cant test.
But a basic rule of thumb is that non steam servers are not supported by practically anyone.
vickers 11-18-2008, 06:08 AM so no support for my problem hmm ! but the 1.7.53 plugin can u give it to me if that`s not a problem !
(--eRRoR--) 11-18-2008, 05:53 PM smoke this its that man that y was talking about that seed that the mode it`s made of him.don give him anything.
Smokey 11-18-2008, 10:02 PM I hadnt planed on giving him anything, people who dont use steam get no support. They need to use real steam servers with legit software, and if you dont do that then I could care less if your players are having problems.
(--eRRoR--) 11-19-2008, 05:01 AM the version 1.7.53 is you version of 1.7.51 and y managed to repair some bugs:
multi jump gives now at every poit only 1 jump like it`s suposed to
levitation works(it didnt work at all at maxim level)
changed the sound of shivshield because it was like voodoo
healing wave gives to much xp bug fixed
now y am working to fix the cluster bomb`s bugs and the losse of the xp randomly.Y think that the porblem is that the servers loads at map change mare quckly than the database manage`s to load the xp becuase if the player disconect from the server at mapchange and reconect`s it doesent lose the xp.(btw the same thing hapens to steam id)
PS did you change your mind about working at the uwc3.(y even put a llink to your site at mi site www.stormzone.ro (http://www.stormzone.ro))
Smokey 11-19-2008, 08:41 AM multi jump gives now at every poit only 1 jump like it`s suposed tocan you post a bug fix for this (new thread)?
levitation works(it didnt work at all at maxim level)I never had a problem with this on my server
changed the sound of shivshield because it was like voodoo Ok, not really a bug but a personal preference.
healing wave gives to much xp bug fixedAgain, not a bug but a personal preference. Our thinking was that since healing wave makes that wave visible to others, they can see you hiding and arround corners. Since this would drastically reduce your ability to hide and some times even survive, it gives you mroe xp for helping your team mates.now y am working to fix the cluster bomb`s bugs and the losse of the xp randomly.Y think that the porblem is that the servers loads at map change mare quckly than the database manage`s to load the xp becuase if the player disconect from the server at mapchange and reconect`s it doesent lose the xp.(btw the same thing hapens to steam id)
PS did you change your mind about working at the uwc3.(y even put a llink to your site at mi site www.stormzone.ro (http://www.stormzone.ro)) If your DB server limits the number of connections per minute or even per hour I suppose this could happen, I have never had this happen once the steam id pending patch was applied (about ayear ago)
(--eRRoR--) 11-19-2008, 01:38 PM y will post the bug fix for the multi jump but y thought that you will give up working on the uwc3?
so are you?
Smokey 11-20-2008, 09:46 AM Most likley yes, at least for now - life is too busy but I may one day pick it back up. But the bug fix posting will be for the community, anyone else who wants to import your code fix, or for them to say it doesnt work, ask questions, that sort of thing.
(--eRRoR--) 11-20-2008, 01:21 PM so you wont delete the uwc3 section from the forum?
Smokey 11-21-2008, 08:46 PM No, I wont delete it.
In fact, one thing you can do to help me quite a bit - the "next generation" of uwc3 is here: http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=648779
You can take the source from them and combine our shopmenu, multi lingual and new skills into that?
I want to combine into that one becuase it is written for 1.8+ while the one I have requires 1.76b but doesnt work on 1.8 - so its giong to be very outdated soon.
With the new version using 1.8 it is going to be able to be used on more servers and have better compatibility with other mods.
Moving to 1.8 will also allow the ice nade bug and the cluster nade bugs to be fixed as the code fixes for those require 1.8
(also the other version allowes for vault storage too :) )
If you can do that by January I think I can pull four more skills together.
(--eRRoR--) 11-22-2008, 05:07 PM So you want me to make the mode 1.7.51 to work on the amxmodx 1.8+?
(y unse on my server amxmodx 1.8+):-|
BTW http://www.yaur.com/forums/showthread.php?p=24686#post24686
(--eRRoR--) 11-22-2008, 05:27 PM Man y tried that version and it`s:non:
FULL OF BUGS (it`s an total waste of time)
You better finish your own or upgrade it to work on amxmodx 1.8 but y dont undrestand how does it work the version 1.7.51 on the amxmodx 1.81 from my server if you sed that it works only on 1.76b?
Smokey 11-24-2008, 01:50 PM it will only 100% work on 1.76b or better, but I have heard lots of people say it doesnt work on 1.8+
I cant gaurantee it will work with anything else. I think taking the other version and blending our stuff into it would be more benificial then trying to upgrade the code ourselves when others have done it already.
(--eRRoR--) 11-26-2008, 01:12 AM Yes y understand you but y dont know how.Y dont know cooding so good.
BTW how exactly do we upgrade the code.
