Jareth26 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 With the new upgraded server, new Gmod update, and the ddosing scriptkiddie, the server has been crashing very often and I am finding myself losing points. Today I lost around 1k (20% of my total points lmao) just from obj_rampage, but had the server not crashed (both times) I probably would have made back my points. I propose a system where if the server crashes, negative profit gets nullified. Positive profit is kept, but any loss is reimbursed. This is of course if it is possible to implement this, depending on how the points system is coded I realize this may be near-impossible to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talbot Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I can pay your points back if you want them so badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth26 Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 I am just making a suggestion for a feature, you don't have to go out of your way to personally reimburse me Honestly points are so easy to get, but it sucks when you get negative profit from forces outside your control Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowyamur Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Something like this would be a valuable insurance policy for players when a crash happens, but I'm not sure how this will work with SQL, mainly because I don't work with SQL data management; it might be possible, though. Having something like this would at least satisfy players knowing that we're taking steps towards making sure their progress and character data is saved, and integration is certainly possible. However, with the current development resources we have for Garry's Mod, it might be a while before we see this become a reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F00L Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Dude 1k is nothing, just play zombie like 3 times and you will get it back if even less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that point-loss insurance would apply to everyone in-general @F00L, not just Jareth. Not everyone who joins our server knows how to make 1k points easy like some of us do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
