I'll phrase this thread generic is anyone else wants to report general issues in it.
I am berserk and have had following issues for a while and no one has a clue why they happen.

In maps like Rancid when you are in a vehicle a lot, i don't get much scoreboard points. Issue is that any xp i score by killing monsters while in a vehicle IS reported on my green xp bar but is NOT reported on the scoreboard. This is very annoying because that make it hard to tell how much xp i have earned for the map. I notice this on Devine also in the begginning part. This issue occurs consistantly. I have no stats invested in vehicle perks, if that makes any difference.

People tell me that they can not view my stats. Does not seem to occur utterly consistantly but does occur a lot b/c people are always mentioning this. They say my stats page is just blank.

About other people not being able to see your statpage: I have asked Ant recently about it, since I didn't get why I couldn't see Burek's stat page and he said something like "the data being lost when the string of abilities gets too long".
Which means that when you have lots of different abilities people can't see your stat page. Problem also occurs with Crunch and Burek on their rank 4 characters -> many points = many skills.
My Support on the other hand doesn't have the problem since I reseted it once and only maxed carefully selected skills and lots of HP and Adren, so I actually don't have that many skills despite lvl 200

Concerning the Score thing, do you have Retaliation?

warhead is actually another one where you can't see his abilities either


Choco Wars needs fixing, PM's keep setting off objectives, adidaz was a dedicated monster and was setting off the seekers etc so the players had to fight the nali AND seekers + revenauts + PMs

I was not the only dedicated monster and i was not the first to spawn either you have no proof it was me that set them off actually that time it was not me you should confirm your facts before calling my name and try to get a screen shot next time.

and i gladly would if i could screenshot. you WERE the only DM at the time, and granpa was the last one killed, by a seeker that you set off. but it has been set off on other occasions by other people. whether it was done on purpose or not it needs fixing is the point.

Thread is already being hijacked. This is not the place to scope others.

I'll investigate the issue about not gaining points when in vehicles, Warhead.

As for not being able to see other players' stat points distribution, the string is capped to save on bandwidth. Since dynamic arrays cannot be sent to clients, I've concatenated the entire array as a string, but that string could get fairly lengthy....so there's a limit.

We should leave map-specific reports to the specific topics regarding to that map. For example: Use this topic to make your report about Choco Wars. Otherwise this topic could get cluttered immensely.

Have you looked into compressing the string before sending and letting the client decompress it? I've done this many times with much success, even when the field I was using only supported ascii characters. Hit me on vent if I can help.
