0.5.0 XPSAVE

[clan DIABOLIK]

Hi

 

Congratulations for your mod, it is very complete work, and thanks for the community.

 

I've just swaped from jay/enhmod to siLenT, read the f***g manual, but XPSAVE does not work :

 

my settings:

// XP Save configuration

set g_XPSave 21

set g_XPSaveMaxAge_xp "30d"

set g_damageXP "1"

set g_damageXPLevel "50"

set g_maxXP "90000"

set g_xpdecay "0"

set g_xpdecayrate "0"

set g_xpdecayfloor "1"

 

Could it be related to the file server.dat, wich comes from a previous test-server ?

( I had this problem with the 2 user.db, log said corrupted, I erased them and OK, but server.dat ...)

 

Thanks in advance

Server.dat is not a problem. It is used to store server data that needs storing over restarts. You can even delete it if you wish. It will recreate with new values.

About the corruption error. This implies the files were not created by the silEnTmod.

[phantasm]

user.db is a jaymod file. You cannot copy the user.db from jaymod to silent mod.

 

userdb.db (and userxdb.db) are the silent mod files.

Thanks guys,

 

OK I've stopped server, deleted server.dat, and started server.

 

@phantasm : concerning the 2 db files, I had corrupted message because they came from a second server (silent-mod under windows, and the real-server is a linux) I just had to erase them, and I have no more message about corrupted files.

 

I can not verify until tonight if XP are well saved since delete of server.dat, I will update post tonight.

Sorry for multi-posting Here is what saw a mate of me this afternoon :

 

XPSAVE is saved when you play the maps of the rotation, but if you vote (at the intermission) a map, XP are LOST at this new map.

 

Does-it help to solve my problem please ?

[TheSilencerPL]

@gaoesa, might it be something with the time the player has to be actually playing to have the xp saved?

[gaoesa]

There isn't any functional difference between map rotation maps and when the nextmap is changed by the vote. Can you please paste the log entrys for opening the database files?

[clan DIABOLIK]

Ok thanks for ur help, will active the console.log tonight ... but I think I've found :

 

set g_dbUserMaxAge "30"

<-------- come from stock silent.cfg zip install ? (can not remember if I've updated this cvar)

 

Shouldn't be 30d ???

[gaoesa]

You are correct. That would be 30 seconds only. And it has the wrong value in the default config.

[clan DIABOLIK]

OK thanks - please don't close the topic as I must confirm it is resolved.

For exampe, I don't understand in the doc:

Note Storing XP requires PunkBuster GUID. However, XP save is safe to use even if all players wouldn't have GUIDs

 

 

Because now that silentID is compatible with old PB etkey, could you explain it in other words please ?

 

 

 

Hey, I like the smiley it's a blackops member lol ^^

[gaoesa]

The note in the g_XPSave is outdated and can be ignored.

[mrmuppet]

Have you added to your cfg;

 

"g_XPSaveMinXP, when this value is set to above 0 or above, the XP save system will use different timestamp for the XP save then the rest of the database.

this allows cvars like g_XPSaveMaxAge_xp to work correctly."

[clan DIABOLIK]

Thanks mister, but I think problem is resolved (there is set g_dbUserMaxAge "30" instead of set g_dbUserMaxAge "30d" in default silent.cfg)

 

FYI, i've 90% finished to migrate my jaymod options to silent ones (but it is hard for me, I've always setup only jaymod servers).

I really think I'm going to keep this mod ! Initially choosen for the ETKey feature, it is many fined tunable to have fun !

 

So please, can I have the link of the ETPub documentation (server cvars etc ...) in the right version corresponding to silent0.050 ?

 

Thanks in advance,

BLACKOPS figo

The most current documentation is included in the silent.zip. Look from the doc folder. We can clarify all the cvars here on the forum if the document is not clear about something.

[clan DIABOLIK]

Ok thanks, I will open other post in case of, congratulations again, my regulars & me seem to like your work

[clan DIABOLIK]

.... did u read my problem ???

 

To solve it, you just have to change :

 

set g_dbUserMaxAge "30"

by

set g_dbUserMaxAge "30d"

 

But in case of server crashing, I don't know if XP are saved, because server never crash ... thanks silent-mod yeahhh

 

ciao
