Can someone whip me up a plugin that fixes a players negetive score?
Instead of buying SCOREREST, and whiping their W:L, players can just do !fixscore or something like that too bot, and the bot will like take away 1.5 billion points (out of 2.1+billion).

I recall seeing this before somewere but not sure. If you need more info please ask.

Just have it do it automatically whenever you receive a score update that gives a player negative points...

How do you make it do it automaticly

Just don't have your settings high enough to get negative points.

yeah, knock your points down a bit.

Well they are low enough I just need a plugin that would fix it, overtime some JP get insanely high (4-5 hours+ games).

ill tell you the same thing i told kewlair and RS, there is no need to use big numbers for JP and other point rewards. If you have an average jackpot of 1m and your normal burst costs 100k, just do the math and lower it down. Example:

Current Settings:

- Average Jackpot in zone is 1 Mil
- Average Kills are 10k
- Goals are 50k
- Bursts are 100k to buy
- Prox is 10mil to buy

New Settings

- Average Jackpot in zone is 10K
- Average Kills are 100 points
- Goals are 500
- Bursts are 1k to buy
- Prox is 100k to buy

Just because someone has "A million gazillion super duper billion" points, doesnt make it stand out more. It just causes more problems. If everything is still in perportion with the numbers, it will be the same with no negative points bug.

Also, if this were done in your zone, there would be no need for "a plugin that fixes a players negetive score".

It didn't need 20 lines to explain that, but Chambahs is right. Too much inflation is bad for an economy.

Yeah, say you had 200k bursts and 2 mill jps, just lower it to 20k jps and 2k bursts.

Also, lowering the prices proportionately will work.

Yeah it isn't easy getting newbie players to understand the JP is at a lower ratio.

Chambahs - Sat Jan 28, 2006 10:40 am
Post subject:

So? Everyone can adapt to it. If they can adapt to new gameplay and new setts/lvz/maps, why cant they adapt to their JP being lower than normal? Plus Mr. 102 pop, you have a few newbies to spare now, right?

Just make an announcement in the news, if people don't understand, at least they'll accept it.

Yeah ok, I was never real good with the JP Meter settings but will give it a shot near the next scorerest.

And its Mr. 103

I'm sure the people at your zone aren't that retarded not to understand the jackpot has lowered.

I made a real simple plugin for what you asked. Source included.

Why do you think I included the src?

!fixscore takes away 1.5 billion points if you have 2.1 billions points or over.
!fixer on/off toggles if the plugin is enabled/disabled.

It also checks every second if a player has 2.1 billion points or over. If so, it automatically takes away 1.5 billion points (which makes !fixscore obsolete, but whatever).

Post subject:

but ag, if you think about it, thats kinda stupid, because there will just be a limit of 2.1bil, how can players try to get top points in your zone? (Which is pretty much the reason of flagging zones) Why dont you just lower the points like we suggested and then players can actually compete for top points, instead of all of them at 2bil and then switching aliases because they dont wanna go back to 600mil

Cyan~Fire - Sun Jan 29, 2006 12:49 pm

Yeah, basically that plugin just removes the whole point of points altogether.

I say you keep everything as is and change the name of your zone to "The Price is Right".

It checks EVERY SECOND? why not just check on PlayerEntered, ScoreUpdate, PlayerKill, FlagVictory, that type of thing.

Ok, then Agurus can edit it to that.

It'll only be a worry if other plugins loaded onto the bot checks for things every second too often, too.

Cyan, having a fast computer doesn't mean you shouldn't try to have an efficient design.

I can detect sarcasm (Solo, though mysteriously absent atm, does happen to be on like 2 of my chats

), but I'm afraid for what will turn out from those who can't.

It was like one of those "But seriously, folks..." type deals.

(I then would've had something clever to say here if I wasn't all woozled out on cold medication.)
