Are you able to provide me with screenshots of your Currency installation?

 

Don't forget to block out your database's password when you post your screen shots.

No.

It only changes the order of establish connection to a game server, load of plugins and their settings together with the triggers of doing plugin settings tab updates. As a result only this startup moment is effected nothing else.

1) Install your MySQL database carefully following the instructions found here:

 

www.phogue.net/forumvb/showth...highlight=ODBC*

 

If you cannot get your database working BEFORE you try to install Currency you need to seek help from your Procon provider.

 

2) Install Currency following my instructions on page one of this thread.

 

3) If Currency is still not working for you after you do Step 2, post screen shots of your Currency installation for me to see. Even though you speak Portugese, the screen shots will be in English and I will then be able to help you. The screenshot should look similar to this one taken of my installation of Currency:

 

 

My guess is that so far you have not correctly created your database. When you have done that, then I can help.

No - the game does not allow you to change or do that sort of thing.

Tried that, didnt work. It still erases whatever shop items I have set. Seems to maybe happen when I close procon?

The actual conversation about a similar issue to yours starts at post #144 here.

Remember, while running plugins on a layer server the changes in the option on your local Procon have no effect to the layer. You have to use a remote desktop and start the layer in gui mode through that to change the layers option or you have to stop the layer, change the corresponding options config line, save the procon.cfg and start the procon layer again.

I haven't changed anything recently aside from the user/pass that connects to the server (which is correct and I have tested). But it seems to be able to show the balance for players who are currently in/connected to the game server, this is different from a few weeks ago as I was able to check the balances of players who were not connected to the server.

Off the top of my head I don't know why you are experiencing that issue. I'm away from my gaming rig where I can test this for you for the next couple of days. RL is taking over here, but I'll get back to you as soon as I can......

First time I've been able to log onto my server and check this........

 

I typed @checkbalance athlon into chat, and my balance came up. My BF3 name is Athlon646464.

 

I typed @checkbalance mav into chat, and his balance came up. His BF3 name is Mav63.

 

I was the only one on our server at the time (in pre-round warm up obviously), so all is working fine with my setup.

 

If you are an admin yours should be working too.

 

Even though your issue is slightly different, check post #151 in this thread. The conversation about that begins at post #144. Make sure those settings are all correct on your Procon Layer, and that you are actually checking the settings from your Layer.

 

If that does not work for you, then post SS's of your settings.

Not likely - I don't have the time I used to have for major updates.

 

I'm still around to support the plugin though.

1:smile: would be nice if you could add a weapon to collect the bounties for playermade bounties.

ie: @addbounty xxKillaKalixx 10000 xbow

 

so only xbow would collect the bounty, not just any weapon

 

2:smile: top 5 or 10 list of people in the server with the most $

3:smile: top 5 or 10 list of people with most $ overall

4:smile: option to slow down chat so it is readable...

 

 

love this plugin BTW, my TDM server is having fun with it!

sorry if duplicate post, just installed plugin yesterday

Not doing any additional stuff for now, sorry. Things are really busy for me here.

 

I'm still around for support, however. Glad to see you enjoy the plugin!

@ronald32:

 

Glad to see you sorted out your first issue.

 

AS Phil said in post #150 in this thread.........

 

"Update to Procon 1.4.0.6 and switch the plugin loading style to the OldStyle on Options -> Adv tab.

That should do the trick for you."
