I scoured the fourms (as I do daily for various things) on this topic but didn't see any solution to this problem when it's a non-saved server. I recently converted to AMXX 1.0 and SH Mod 1.17.5 and have run into a variety of problems that I'm slowly correcting. But this problem which I thought would be fixed (which isn't present in the 1.17.4 version w/AMX 0.98 Beta), isn't.

Problem: XP never loads for a player and states "Your XP will be loaded next round", but never is even after multiple rounds. Even if an admin adds xp or levels, it will register, but the player still cannot use any heros. In the /playerskills screen, you can see the added xp, but the player still cannot use any heroes.

How we're currently dealing with it: We have to have said user disconnect and reconnect to the server.

This problem can happen often enough with either the user staying spectator a few rounds, then joining a map, or even just playing a few maps and it happening to them anyway. I put on "sh_debug_messages 2", started the dedicated server up, selected a team, ran around by myself for a round, then amx_map de_aztec. I was spectator for a little bit while someone connected, joined a team, then got then the bug. The server logs state no error as usual.

I'm assuming it could be one of my custom plugins if no one else is getting this and having them load after Superheroes isn't helping, so any feedback would be great. I will try disabling all my customs (just 9) and report back so if this happens to anyone else in the future.

Additional:
-At first glance, I believe it's Deagle's Map Manager plugin (you know that famous 'rockthevote' plugin). Why? Because I removed it from the plugins.ini, changed map, and I was no longer bugged. I'm going to keep the plugin disabled for now for a bit longer to confirm.

Set "mp_freezetime" to a value other than 0 because some of the superhero stuff kicks in as soon as the freezetime is over. At least I think that could be the problem you encounter.

[jtp10181]

all the freezetime bugs should be fixed. Alsdo the deags map manager is coded HORRIBLY. If you load that plugin at the very end it wont be able to fuck up any other plugins, so put the map manager way at the bottom. Also enable debug mode and watch for the messages about loading the XP. You wont see errors because the plugin cannot really know when its having problems but when someone joins it should show thier name and steamid and a message saying it checked for bans and also that it loaded thier XP. Even if they are in spec mode it should still load thier XP.

I never have freezetime set to zero. =)

But I love Deagle's Map Manager! The AMXX version is god-awful and has bugs just to run by itself. I still have it disabled and will have the results of my tests today. I did however have it loading AFTER everything Superheroes Mod related. I'm attaching a short log. This is: I started the server up, joined T's in de_dust (I was issued my starting level of 1), planted bomb, won round. I then amx_amp de_aztec. So this log is from the Aztec map which when I looked even in Spectator Mode, I wasn't given my starting level of 1 (my name is Knew). The other player that came in (V4)v(P1R3<3>) and was given his level. I had to reconnect to establish my XP.

Anyway, I should have some definite results in a couple of hours to confirm it's the Deagle's Map Manager plugin. Thanks.

Ok so it's not the the Deagle's Map Manager. I forced a map change again and I was unable to get XP. Instead of reconnecting, I just forced a mapchange with amx_map to the same map which then made it load. Ok so a few of us played a little, and then I killed myself, went specatator, and moved us to de_dust so 2 guys can play on while I spectate again. My XP didn't load again. This never happened with 1.17.4 using AMX 0.98Beta. Even using the 1.17.5 version for AMX 0.98B does the same thing.

Short verion of the Log from the de_dust: (My name is "Debugging in Process") - All the other players were able to get their XP.

Ok so I have 11 other custom plugins that I'm going to disable and test. I'll report back later.

[jtp10181]

I think I see what might be doing this. I'm, REALLY busy tonight, but I will try tomo to reprocude it and then fix it.

actually in the meantime you can this,

find

#if defined NO_STEAM
public client_connect(id)
#else
public client_authorized(id)
#endif
{

reaplce with

public client_putinserver(id) {

this might cause some delay issues with using saved XP until I tweak the function, but since you aren't saving it should only have the effect of fixing that bug.

[Alphabet Soup]

Thanks. I modified the code, recompiled and loaded it up. I also put back all my custom plugins but didn't load them until after all the Superhero Mod related ones. I should have some feedback tonight. The bug kept happening to me all day.

[Alphabet Soup]

Been playing since last night, as well as this morning and your fix seems to have worked. Thanks!

[jtp10181]

cool, I'm going to add one more check to make sure its impossible for that to happen. The next release will has both fixes.
