Hey ! Thanks for feedbacks, but don't panic I already know and I had warned the admins of these possible changes
I'll try to explain all of this as best I can. From what I understood
You should know that the plugin which distributes the prestiges skins is based on the HLstatsX data of the zombie server, and the stats of the zombie server in fact include the 2 zombie servers (V1 and V3) [You have the same number of points on the V1 as on V3, and this, even if you only play on V3]
Now, the test server is apart, and knowing that I am on my own, I cannot notice these skin changes, even if it happened to me a few times to have a different skin, but on the contrary of the players , I change it. After that I understand that seeing an "admin" skin (It only remains a skin, you don't have the powers that go with it) in its inventory, you don't want to change it (To show off, often) and then it's not your "mistake"
With The Bear Jew yesterday, it annoyed me I couldn't figure it out, and before going to sleep I looked at some forums that explained this problem of changing skins, everything will start from the server cookies, basically, it saves your data for your future connections
I'll explain all of this using tables :
You should know that the V1 has more skins than the V3, so, not the same "configuration", remember that, it's important for the future of this post
SKINS V1 | SKINS V3 |
|---|
Fatty Corona (Default Zombie Class) | Fatty (Default Zombie Class) |
Fatty VIP | Fatty VIP |
Mother Fatty | Mother Fatty |
Fatty_Santa | Default CSS models |
Biosuit | Admin |
Admin | Head Admin |
Santa | EH Member |
Head Admin | Engineer |
EH Member | Harley Quinn |
Prestige Bronze | Nanosuit |
Prestige Silver | Prestige Bronze |
Prestige Gold | Prestige Silver |
Engineer | Prestige Gold |
Harley Quinn | |
Nanosuit | |
I later noticed that when I go on V1, I "saved" a skin, and that I went to V3, I had a saved skin, but not the correct one. From there, it starts to clear up.
So I said to myself, if I put exactly the same number of skins on the 2 servers, it shouldn't be a problem.
So I did :
SKINS V1 | SKINS V3 |
|---|
Fatty Corona (Default Zombie Class) | Fatty (Default Zombie Class) |
Fatty VIP | Fatty VIP |
Mother Fatty | Mother Fatty |
Fatty_Santa | Fatty_Santa |
Biosuit | Default CSS models |
Admin | Admin |
Santa | Santa |
Head Admin | Head Admin |
EH Member | EH Member |
Prestige Bronze | Engineer |
Prestige Silver | Harley Quinn |
Prestige Gold | Nanosuit |
Engineer | Prestige Bronze |
Harley Quinn | Prestige Silver |
Nanosuit | Prestige Gold |
Already, as you can see, some skins do not match, and more precisely the prestiges skins
BUT, I didn't think about the other players .. and yes it's easy to do these tests on a test server (All alone) and on a V1 (also alone)
So the players who had selected a VIP / Admin skins (Yes because the prestige skins were not present again) before I changed the order of the skins, find themselves with the "new" skin which is present in the same place. than the "before" one BUT it must also correspond to the order of V1 for prestiges skins..
Demonstration :
SKINS V1 | SKINS V3 (BEFORE) | SKINS V3 (FIRST CHANGE) |
|---|
Fatty Corona (Default Zombie Class) | Fatty (Default Zombie Class) | Fatty (Default Zombie Class) |
Fatty VIP | Fatty VIP | Fatty VIP |
Mother Fatty | Mother Fatty | Mother Fatty |
Fatty_Santa | Default CSS Models | Fatty_Santa |
Biosuit | Admin | Default CSS Models |
Admin | Head Admin | Admin |
Santa | EH Member | Santa |
Head Admin | Engineer | Head Admin |
EH Member | Harley Quinn | EH Member |
Prestige Bronze | Nanosuit | Engineer |
Prestige Silver | Prestige Bronze | Harley Quinn |
Prestige Gold | Prestige Silver | Nanosuit |
Engineer | Prestige Gold | Prestige Bronze |
Harley Quinn | | Prestige Silver |
Nanosuit | | Prestige Gold |
So, at the "first" connection after the change I made, if a player had come before this change, with a saved skin such as for example Engineer, coming back for his first connection, with the Head Admin skin. Logically it should only stay during a map / rejoin, the time that the server understands that it is not the right skin compared to the name of the chosen skin.
Like when I make changes, I have to wait for the change of maps for the server to take into account the new changes
All others exemples :
A player who did not disconnect between the first changes or disconnect during the first change :
Default CSS Models becomes Fatty_Santa as zombie
Harley Quinn becomes EH Member (FOR VIPS)
Nanosuit becomes Engineer (FOR VIPS)
Prestige Bronze becomes Default CSS Models (FOR NON-VIPS otherwise becomes Harley Quinn)
Prestige Silver becomes Default CSS Models (FOR NON-VIPS otherwise becomes Nanosuit)
Prestige Gold becomes Prestige Bronze
Before going to sleep I put this configuration (So the 2nd change) :
SKINS V1 | SKINS V3 (2ND CHANGE) |
|---|
Fatty Corona (Default Zombie Class) | Fatty (Default Zombie Class) |
Fatty VIP | Fatty VIP |
Mother Fatty | Mother Fatty |
Fatty_Santa | Default CSS Models |
Biosuit | Admin |
Admin | Head Admin |
Santa | EH Member |
Head Admin | Engineer |
EH Member | Harley Quinn |
Prestige Bronze | Nanosuit |
Prestige Silver | Prestige Bronze |
Prestige Gold | Prestige Silver |
Engineer | Prestige Gold |
Harley Quinn | Fatty_Santa |
Nanosuit | Santa |
The second change corresponds to the same skins as before, but does not correspond to the same order as V1. And that's where the non-saving skins start
But what the cookies have saved is the order of the first 2 tables :
SKINS V1 | SKINS V3 |
|---|
Fatty Corona (Default Zombie Class) | Fatty (Default Zombie Class) |
Fatty VIP | Fatty VIP |
Mother Fatty | Mother Fatty |
Fatty_Santa | Default CSS models |
Biosuit | Admin |
Admin | Head Admin |
Santa | EH Member |
Head Admin | Engineer |
EH Member | Harley Quinn |
Prestige Bronze | Nanosuit |
Prestige Silver | Prestige Bronze |
Prestige Gold | Prestige Silver |
Engineer | Prestige Gold |
Harley Quinn | |
Nanosuit | |
So, if I want to choose the "prestige gold" skin on the V3, the plugin also refers to the V1, it sees that it does not correspond because Engineer is in the same place, and therefore resets the skin by default because I am not a VIP
But if I connect to the V1, that I take the prestige gold skin, if I connect to the V3 then, I will have the prestige silver (If the plugin is in place on the 2 servers)
For VIPs there are no problems since VIPs skins are configured to be skin by default as soon as it is chosen
I deactivated the plugin that distributes the prestige skins on the V1, so it looks as if they no longer exist (prestiges skins), but we come back to the same problem, the prestige gold on the V3, becomes nothing on the V1, do not match, so put the default skin back on each new map
All skins that do not match, automatically revert to the default skin (For prestiges skins)
The save worked on the V1 when the plugin was not set up on the V3, I did the same thing but on the V3 side to see, I did not see if it worked
After all that I think that the problem of this "no-save" would come from the cookies (I hope not to be mistaken, I will ask for opinions) and that we would have to clean these cookies to start from 0 in a way.
I didn't think this was going to take my head so much, I'll admit
But I'm not going to give up, it's me, I asked to take care of this
