Bump for new Version with a Whitelist in it. Please test it. I did as far as i could and it looked good.

 

Testing 0.6 now.

Small bug found: pluginname is 0.5.5. Details say 0.6

How did you install it? Did you restart Procon after puting the new "TrueBalancer.cs" into the Plugins file?

If you just clicked "Reload Plugins", then this could be the problem.

 

If this is the only Bug, i will be a realy happy programmer .

Overwritten the previous version and starting Procon Console again.

 

It is the latest version with whitelist, only is shows wrong number in left pluginscreen (where you can check / uncheck plugins.)

But i think this is something within Procon not updateing the plugin name of the new file. but it should be ok. If the Version in details shows 0.6 and if the Whitelist is available, it is version 0.6.

I have to put in names one at a time. When I enter the names from popup, it always save it as:

1. Panther

2. Name two

3. Name three

Then a new pop up will come up where you can enter a name per line.

I Know, but it did not work through layer...

I Started Procon as normal (on the server) and now it shows 0.6 and i'm able to use the popup.

try this:

delete TrueBalancer.cs from the Plugin.

start Procon as layer. wait till it is started and turn it off again.

then put TrueBalancer.cs in the Plugins folder again.

restart Procon as layer.

it should work again. it seems like this is a problem within procon not installing new ***.cs files as it should because it has the same name as the previous plugin ***.cs

I already fixed it.

I removed the lines of this plugin in the config-file. Deleted the plugin. Started Procon (not console-mode).

Closed Procon, copied the plugin and started again. Now it's OK.

tell me your settings and send me over the last lines in the debug window.

this error will not do anything to truebalancer at all.

 

truebalancer should run wihtout problems, the only possible way that it could start acting strange if it is installed on a layer which is connected to a procon-layerserver while the gameserver crashes. (but i hope i fixed that one)

OP is ok.

It should say somthing like this below, then everthing is fine

[16:20:36 52] -------OP-------

[16:20:36 54] PlayerCache: A list of players and numbers

[16:20:36 54] Team A: 16

[16:20:36 55] Team B: 16

[16:20:36 55] PlayerDiff: 0

[16:20:36 55] Teams are balanced.

If you see waiting for 1st player to spawn, this should only show you at the beginning of a round or when you turn on TrueBalancer the first time. TrueBalancer waits until the first player spawns, to see, if a round has started.

If not then just copy all the lines out of the debug window onther plugins or make a ss and send it over to me.

 

it should say more than just ------OP------. It has to be more in the debug window.

Because it is not possible that ----OP---- appears all by itself. There has to be "Playercache: " after it because it is directly in the next line behind it. but it looks like the the string send to Playercache is broken, which means that a player on the server has strange symbols in the name.

 

also:

try to dissable and enable the plugin to see if it will work again.

if

-----op-----

apears withouth "Playercache: " directly after it, is looks like that a player with a strange name brakes the string of the cache. if you could make a screenshot and send it over to me, i could figure out the problem very fast.

Ok, i uploaded a new version which should fix the problem, that TrueBalancer is not working because of DebugInfo breaking the code. Now if there is a problem with DebugInfo, it will break the code at the end of the code, where it doesn't matther anymore.

 

Please try it out and tell me if this works for you now.
