TFC skills rank with speed run timer - Page 5

Lt Llama · 09-17-2006 , 13:37 Re: TFC skills rank with speed run timer

Updated skillsrank to v1.4.4. The crashes when using amxmodx 1.75a should have been solved. Tested with old and new tables. Source and zip file updated.

Do I just have to dl the .sma or was there changes made in the php pages aswell ?

Thanx.

****EDIT

Sorry to be Mr. Bug, but I found another one. If a certain map's config file doesn't have a setting for sv_goalteams, no team can start a timer.

I don't know if this makes a difference, but one map where it didn't work was conc_sand:

Code:

x_start -334
y_start 197
z_start 50
x_goal -774
y_goal -2042
z_goal -3021
sv_difficulty 64

Then on concmap5 it DID work:

Code:

sv_difficulty 42
x_goal -1997
y_goal 2280
z_goal 1445
x_start 262
y_start -347
z_start -493

Could the order of the items in a config have any effect?

After reading Hi's post i went to my server and compared map configs (they are the same) then tested the start goals and they worked for me.

I run a windows dedicated. Maybe this is OS related ??

Server - Win XP pro
AMXModX- 1.76
SkillsRank - 1.4.4

Code:

conc_sand
x_start -334
y_start 197
z_start 50
x_goal -774
y_goal -2042
z_goal -3021
sv_difficulty 64

Code:

concmap5
sv_difficulty 42
x_goal -1997
y_goal 2280
z_goal 1445
x_start 262
y_start -347
z_start -493

I don't get it. I tried concmap5 and conc_sand both on lan and on the dedicated server, and all teams are allowed. I had this problem before but it really should work.
The cvar is registered to allow all teams by deafult in plugin_init:
sv_gteam = register_cvar("sv_goalteams","bryg")

and is checked when the player touches the start:
get_pcvar_string(sv_gteam,allowteam,4)

Add
print_client(id,print_chat,"Teams allowed = %s",allowteam)

after line 446 and see what you get.

Edit: You posted just before me DAWG

. I tested both on windows and SUSE linux.

Hmm now it works, but I noticed something. I think the previous map played has something to do with it. I changed the map to conc_sand and it worked fine. But I typed rcon sv_teamgoals in the console and "BR" came back. Since the map has no config setting for sv_teamgoals it should be "BRYG" right? Earlier when it didn't work, maybe the map before conc_sand didn't have the blue team in there.

PS: I'm usin Windows

EDIT: I found out what it was. When registering PCVARs, they stay active between mapchanges. I changed the goalteams of a certain config to YG. Then I loaded that map and sv_goalteams was YG. Then I changed it to a map whose config had no setting for sv_goalteams, and it was still YG. I added this line right under the register_cvar call for sv_goalteams:

Code:

set_cvar_string("sv_goalteams", "bryg")

and it didn't do it anymore. Seems like a bug in AMXX, it should be setting that CVAR to the default value but it's not. It sets it correctly if it doesn't already exist, but if it is there from a previous map, it doesn't set the default.

Question: Should you be able to break the map's speed record after finishing the map once already? Ex: map loads, you finish and do not break record, you finish again and should break record but it doesn't save score. (Is this intended?)
