Author Topic: PlayerList pops up for an instant when players connect  (Read 704 times)

In the last week my Blockland has decided to open the playerlist for an millisecond when someone joins the server. It is rather odd and I've seen another player complain of the same problem, anyone know the cause of it?

If I remember correctly, it's a hack workaround in the Chat Logger script used for getting updates about all the players on the server. I'll investigate after school and maybe bug Curse about it. At least he fixed the bug where you wouldn't be informed who is an admin.

His whole mod needs to be taken down. It's buggy/hacky as hell. He overcomplicated it, I'm sure.

It's hardly the least hacky thing he's tried, such as his attempt at the ride on click script. At one point it would just teleport you a couple units above the vehicle's position. Hack solutions shouldn't be used if there's a better way. If a hack solution must be used, it shouldn't' be noticeable to the player.

Anyway, Curse investigated, found that his mod would do this, and has submitted the fix to RTB. As much as I like to investigate a broken add-on epidemic, hopefully this will be the last time I have to bug him about this one.

I'm just getting frustrated with public Add-Ons that interact with chat. The more that come up, the more problems it seems they cause. Not that mine are any better, but I keep them to myself and perfect them to a point... I don't even see a problem. I have a clientside chatlogging script that is completely background. Of course, it is a simple script but that confuses me how others can so fatally mess theirs up if even I can accomplish this.
