Does anyone else have reported problems of users (servers with TM_MER plugin) having -10000000 credits or having 100000000 very large/negative numbers? Any ideas how to fix this?

I first thought it was a C++'s largest values for Integers but Im not sure, and it's starting to bug me. Any ideas/suggestions let me know please!

You can e-mail me

How about using a Double Word [0..4294967295 unsigned 32-bit], or do you need negative credits?

Then use a Longint [?2147483648..2147483647 signed 32-bit]

IMO, i don't know why the people has so many credits, maybe you should consider making prizes higher and credits won lower.

Sorry nintendo, I should have been more specific in the situation. I was in a rush to post the note.

I just installed the tm_mer.dll on mervbot, so all the users's are new. Most of us use the credit system just fine, each value is very slow, for like credits for a kill or for a goal; but for some reason, a few people are starting to get these very large or very negative numbers.

But it's nothing specific where I can say its every 3rd person who enters the zone. I'm not really sure what is going on, and was wondering if anyone else had this problem?

Same and i said sorry about the old post. Agurus, You do you deal with that in you zone? Iit happends quite often for me.

Agurus · Posted: Tue Dec 06, 2005 7:18 pm Post subject:

yeah we have the same problem, I assume probably a bad plugins is casuing it, but not sure. I just uploaded it to a bot with no plugs attached but seems it works fine, but not sure.

Ahh i see, you put this on a bot by itself and it works?

Agurus, how many plugins are on the bot that the TM_MER does NOT work?

If negative credits are the issue, I think there's a field where you can input "false" for negative creds in the INI.

Our creds don't go negetive for players it seems like the bot will just randomly give out like: 154154751 to anyone any time :/

Anyone look into this yet?

well ima bump this coz this still seems to be a major bug.
DS has this aswell and its starting to get realy irritating.. it has nothing to do with a flaggame coz that doesnt provide any creds in DS.
It seems to happen randomly to players who use their creds pretty often in any way. (Balling/greening/donating/buying/gambling).

Anyone found a solution yet?

Ok i have found a way to fix this... completely delete all mervbot related files (not the other plugins) and reput them there from a new download from catid's page..
this is mostly coused by people editing the plugin.
(Might be the compiler or w/e but i downloaded creds-mer.dll and modified the source a little bit. compiled it and didnt have the bug for over 1 day now.. (normaly atleast every hour) so it should be fixed.
So reloading all files should do the trick...

So you're saying the build on catid's site is possibly bad?

well forget what i said... 1 hour after i posted this 1 bug came up.. i thought it might have been an old 1 stored in the database.. but then half an hour later 5 people had the bug after the bot worked propperly for more then a day.
