Vote Checker & Rewarder

Anytime a user have any special chars in their name they won't get auto rewarded.

I have another issue. I have one player who keeps getting the reward every time he wakes up... does not happen to anyone else. Really strange.

 

I believe the issue may be on the backend; I spoofed some web requests at "cyberscene" and did not receive the expected responses.

 

Was @Wulf able to help you get this working?

 

I haven't heard from them on the matter.

I have found that, on Rust-Servers.net, people who vote without using the "Sign in through Steam" option often do not receive credit for the vote. As such I always insist on my players to use that option.

Also, it's a common occurrence on my server for people who change their Steam names to lose their awards. Whatever backend was written for this plugin needs a lot of fixing.

 

Hi,

I was away for a while.

Do you guys still have errors with the plugin?

HI,

Please send me more details regarding the issue.

Please provide details?

The back-end doesn't work on steam names only. There is a bug on listforge itself that can't handle certain characters via the api, if it has been fixed I am not sure and have to revisit this project to optimize it.

from the error you are receiving it seems you have an item in the config that isn't supported.
Did you manually edit the file and add in your items or did you do it from the command line?

 

@Pho3niX90
I suggest you go to this link and use the API provided to check for votes on Rust-Servers.net
>> API Documentation <<

I copy+pasted the web request that your plugin sends to your backend, and players that voted were not receiving the expected response.

 

@elantzb I am using the api, infact it was build together with the owner of listforge. At the time the webservice was used because there was no proper way of fetching the steamid from using the oxide plugin and multiple webrequests had to be made to link a steam account together with a ingame user.
The link that was originally used was: http://rust-servers.net/api/?object=servers&element=voters&key=&format=xml.

I will revisit the entire plugin and update it to be more reliable. But it's not a priority for me as I would rather work on things that are profitable.

However, I will rewrite the plugin tonight and try improve the issues the current issues

 

please fix

 

Can anyone confirm this plugin works before I install and configure it? The last update was quite some time ago

 

It does not work at the moment.

 

It was working for my server like 2days ago then just stopped

 

Could you please provide some details?

Hi, Why issues are you having with the plugin
[DOUBLEPOST=1450350468,1450338285][/DOUBLEPOST]The plugin should be working perfectly now, it no longer validates against a username but a steamid. Please let me know if there are any issues.

@elantzb The way the web interface works in the following. If a user has voted 7 times and haven't claimed yet, the web interface will report a "7", if they have claimed it will report "0" to say that the user shouldn't be rewarded again. When that user votes again (now having 8 votes) the web interface will report 8 again. (this is so that users can reward based on total votes)

 

Pho3niX90 updated Vote Checker with a new update entry:

1.0.3

 

I know you just updated this but any chance you could add toprustservers.com?

 

Hi Evano.

I went onto the site. It seems the api provided is very basic and only provides a boolean value to if a user has voted, but doesn't provide a count of votes? I could be mistaking. If you can provide me with a api key and uid I can have a look and provide feedback. Feel free to message me

 

Hi Pho3niX90,
There was a small issue with the old version which we fixed by commenting out a line of code.
It relates to every time a person wakes up the vote checker runs.
I can just comment the code out again, just want to make sure you are aware of the issue.

On a modded server with Teleporting, people wake up a lot so they get hit with a vote message every time they teleport.
Here is the information Wulf posted on a previous page:

From Wulf:
It's not a conflict, it's how the plugin is checking. This plugin checks when a player wakes up, OnPlayerSleepEnded. I would probably be better of this plugin author used OnPlayerInit or OnPlayerConnected though instead.

 

@Brengun thank you for that info. I will have to do some testing. I originally used OnPlayerConnected but caused a lot of errors. I will see if I can use a combination of the 2. What is the other plugins name

 

Initially I thought it was a plugin conflict as we always noticed it on Teleporting to players/Home points.
Wulf confirmed it wasn't a conflict, it is just the way the vote checker runs.
I fixed it on the last version by commenting out the line of code where it had OnPlayerSleepEnded

I hope that all makes sense.

 

@Brengun Thank you very much. How would you suggest me replicating the issue? Just so that I make sure the bug is completely fixed.

 

To replicate the issue, Teleport to another player or Home point using the plugin m-Teleportation.
After teleporting you will see the message as you wake up from the teleport every time.
