It's not good that the screenshot function got removed. It only shows how easily you can get manipulated. The screenshot function should stay, however it should make only screenshots when Armyops.exe is running and the game is maximalized or window-moded. When the game is minimalized it mustn't take screenshots. Same like when only assist is running and Armyops.exe has not started -> no screenshots. That way you respect the privacy of users and have control over the gameplay at the same time. Thats what you should make in the next update. Sounds nice doesnt it.

Yeah, it's hard to agree with a HT but he's right on this one ;)

btw. dear admins.
You should set some maximum size of signatures on this forum. Few guys like norby (@up) or teddy have huge ones and they are actually shit

Minhonor and maxhonor should be in it by default.

That is not a guarantee. if the aa25.ini is a bit older, it might be missing.
The servers that has problems with 100+ honor is mostly ones with older aa25.ini's.

If they are missing(aa25.ini) just add them at the end of the file.

Looking at a Hospital server, nobody had any points nor kills tracked on their current session on BT (for some, the current session didn't show up at all), even though some of them had kills on the battlefield. It even says a wrong number of players on the server when looking at someone's current session.

I can see that the game reports, Kia/kills/Roe/Honor/Goal/Leader to bt.

Score is 0, but I think it's been like that for a long time.

Post by: ELiZ on Sunday, October 19, 2014, 12:43:20 PM
Only thing that I can think of is that BT messes up because of the new Max honor.
It perhaps uses it to parse the query response.

ok, battletracker had maintenance yesterday, hope they did nothing bad :(
but the sessions on dusk server are not counting at all at battletracker. this guy did play and he had honors and points on the server while playing. but nothing at all about at bt, except kills/death, but no online signal or honors....

right?

before I forget: very very nice release, thanks a lot for it ELiZ.

btw: I will configure my servers down to 110 honors to see what happened.

For some reason, on the official servers the setting keeps resetting to maxhonor=100.
I have no idea why at the moment.

I did see yesterday or day before, while trying to connect to bt, that a message was there about maintenance work. not only a short message like an error message. it was real maintenance message.
don't know what they did. but now it looks like no tracking at all. I will play now - wife did release me :)

Post by: ELiZ on Sunday, October 19, 2014, 13:40:53 PM
One of the problems is that f12 only allows you to set 100 Max.
I have a fixed AGP_Interface.u that will allow 130 to be used in game by admins.

now I am testing a server with maxhonors=100 and it fine. green lights at bt and honors tracking.
but without admin rights, all over 100 honors are kicked.

I will test now one with maxhonors=110

ok, now I have a server with maxhonors=110 and it looks good. no one over 100 honor is getting kicked. and at bt, the green lights (tracking) are on !!!!

so maybe the solution is just to set the maxhonors=110 - that's all I guess.

I will give feedback in 20 minutes....

Thanks for fixing!

ok, finaly a server with more then maxhonors=100 is not counting at all, no green lights at bt.
and the players with more then 100 honors are kicked.
maybe new release without this activation of min, max if possible.

One of the problems is that f12 only allows you to set 100 Max.
I have a fixed AGP_Interface.u that will allow 130 to be used in game by admins.
Do you think I should wait until tomorrow when there is fewer players on, or release it now, with a result that all clients/Servers will restart?
With a restart there will be some issues with package mismatches on AGP_Interface.u

It seems to me that the servers are running OK now and people's score and kills and everything is getting through to BT, as well as people with more than 110 honor are able to play.

Therefore, I would suggest, if possible, to postpone to tomorrow morning.

but anyway, i would release it tomorrow, not today because of the big clan day and the players of it.
thank you!

Next version(8.16) will report Maxhonor=100 to Battletracker.com regardless what is really used.
So if that is some of the issues with tracking, it should be solved tomorrow.

Post by: [SWISS]Merlin on Sunday, October 19, 2014, 14:17:25 PM

I am sure now. I did set one server to maxhonors=120, one at maxhonors=110 and one maxhonors=100 - and only the one with maxhonors=100 is tracked.

Problem with the theory is that I was playing on a 100 Honor server and it didn't work.
But it might be that some servers corrupts the data is the MaxHonor>100, and if we make sure(8.16) that all servers report Maxhonor=100 to BT, the problem hopefully is gone.

If we are unlucky the problem has come up if BT changed something in their internal systems.
