Approved Fix Fortwars

[Pengy]

With the change of the servers, I think you messed something up in Fortwars. I can play as Demo even though I haven't unlocked him yet, my health regen doesn't exist anymore, and some of the options for prop building (like support wall) are down. Why is this happening, is it a problem on my end, and can either you or me fix it?

 

[Sharkey]

The developer of that plugin is no longer updating it, it wouldn't surprise me if something is broken.

People have always complained about these glitches but the database is still on the same webserver.

I looked at your entry in the database and it says your unlocks are this.

Obviously a glitch in the matrix.

I assume it's corruption of some kind. Looks like it was updated on Oct 11 so it's pretty recent. I'm not well versed in SM plugins so I probably couldn't even know where to begin to fix this.

EDIT: Looks like he just edited the post and not actually updated the plugin for a while.

 

[Pengy]

Holy McFuckCrap

So... the only way to fix the servers is to delete the whatever that is and have me restart with default stuffs?

 

[Sharkey]

What did you have before? Which classes and what upgrades?

 

[Bottiger]

I deleted everyone's unlocks with gibberish and gave them 15k more money.

However I believe one of the plugins must be sending corrupted data because of entries like this.

soldier=1;engineer=thregen;

 

[Bottiger]

I'm not going to have time to fix this bug, and I am sure it will happen again.

But for anyone interested there's probably corruption going on here.

stock AddUnlock(const String:id[], const String:name[], numLevels, cost[], const String:required[]="", requireLevel=1){
   
    decl String:rid[sizeof(unlocksId[])];
    strcopy(rid, sizeof(rid), id);
    ReplaceString(rid, sizeof(rid), "=", "");
    ReplaceString(rid, sizeof(rid), ";", "");
    ReplaceString(rid, sizeof(rid), "'", "");
   
    if(strlen(rid)<3){
        return -1;
    }
   
    new i;
    new index=UnlockIdToIndex(id);
    if(index!=-1){
        i=index;
    }else{
        i=SearchAvaliableUnlockIndex();
    }
   
    if(numLevels<1) numLevels=1;
    if(numLevels>MAX_UNLOCK_LEVEL) numLevels = MAX_UNLOCK_LEVEL;
   
    unlocksValid[i]=true;
   
    new bool:isTheSame = StrEqual(rid, unlocksId[i]);
   
    strcopy(unlocksId[i], sizeof(unlocksId[]), rid);
    strcopy(unlocksName[i], sizeof(unlocksName[]), name);
    for(new j=0;j<numLevels;++j){
        unlocksCost[i][j]=cost[j];
    }
    unlocksMaxLevel[i]=numLevels;
   
    if(strlen(required)==0){
        unlocksRequire[i]=-1;
    }else{
        new rindex=UnlockIdToIndex(required);
        unlocksRequire[i]=rindex;
        unlocksRequireLevel[i]=requireLevel;
    }
   
    if(!isTheSame){
        for(new j=0;j<MAXPLAYERS+1;++j){
            unlock[j][i]=0;
        }
    }
   
    return i;
}

 

[Pengy]

blah

Sorry Bot, but it's still not working. Look, I can't on the upgrade menu. I should just press six, but there isn't any command there.

 

[takethepants]

Wonder what the value of just clearing everything would be.

 

[Sharkey]

Sorry Bot, but it's still not working. Look, I can't on the upgrade menu. I should just press six, but there isn't any command there.

The upgrade and support wall modules probably aren't loading for some reason.

 

[Pengy]

Oh lovely, now the capping point textures are fucked.

 

[Bottiger]

I finally figured out the cause of the problem. It will be fixed soon, but everyone's unlocks will be reset.

The problem happens when you join another custom maps server because the fortwars server does not properly unload itself.

 

[Pengy]

You can change the tag to improve guys. The point texture's the HUD, not the servers. It works fine now.

 

[Agamemnon]

I played yesterday and had to spend all my monesy(well, most!!) on buying my classes agian.Do I have to earn that money agian?

Tmk everything was totally reset, people were given money so they could rebuy their classes. So to answer the question, yes you need to earn more money if you want it.
