Weird problem with rank display

for some reason it's splitting the display of the High Exorcist rank into 2 parts & showing 1 half over the Dark Master (guildmaster) rank.

any ideas?

Do you actually mean "High Inquisitor"? I see two tables of that and that seems...odd...

Did you change the order of the ranks? Or add a new one? Perhaps you need to clear out all the guild profiler settings (I'll guess it's '/gp purge all' but I'm not sure).

crap yeah High Inquisitor - sorry :oops:

As far as i'm aware there's been no new ranks added to the guild by the GM.

i'll try doing the cache flush as yo suggest & see what that comes up with.

This is sorted by the numeric value of the rank, so clearing your CP.lua file, grab the data again, and re-uploading should do the trick

nah i've tried that & it's still teh same :S

i've attached the CP.lua for you to have a look at zanix if thats ok.

In your CP.lua file

You have two ranks named "High Inquisitor"

Ranks 2 and 3

Code: Select all: ["Ranks"] = { ["Index"] = { ["Rank6"] = { ["Title"] = "Exorcist", ["Control"] = "1:1:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0", ["Index"] = 6, }, ["Rank3"] = { ["Title"] = "High Inquisitor", ["Control"] = "1:1:1:1:1:0:0:0:1:1:1:1:0", ["Index"] = 3, }, ["Rank4"] = { ["Title"] = "Inquisitor", ["Control"] = "1:1:1:1:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0", ["Index"] = 4, }, ["Rank5"] = { ["Title"] = "High Exorcist", ["Control"] = "1:1:1:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0", ["Index"] = 5, }, ["Rank2"] = { ["Title"] = "High Inquisitor", ["Control"] = "1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1:0", ["Index"] = 2, }, ["Rank1"] = { ["Title"] = "High Mistress", ["Control"] = "1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1", ["Index"] = 1, }, ["Rank7"] = { ["Title"] = "Acolyte", ["Control"] = "1:1:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0", ["Index"] = 7, }, },

-sigh- ok - how come its not going rank 0,1,2 like it used to tho? i know thats been done so that only certain High Inquisitors have kick priviledges (some ours are a little too trigger happy).

by **steeldragon** » Tue Jul 11, 2006 6:41 pm

any idea how i can get round this without changing the rank names tho? as ideally we dont want an 'in-between' rank just for 2 officers

Not really, as you really do have two different ranks, even if they have the same name. You could hack the code, but I'd rather the official release not merge two ranks with the same name.

Why are you giving "trigger happy" players access to a high rank? That's grounds for demotion (and possibly kicking) in my guild. I want people I can count on to act maturely, not prima donnas I have to coddle.

by **steeldragon** » Tue Jul 11, 2006 10:16 pm

well the gm has sorted it now, so shouldnt be a problem.

by **steeldragon** » Fri Jul 14, 2006 2:33 am

Ok, the Dark Inquisitor rank is now only rank 2 & Dark Council is rank 3.

I've cleared my CP cache, resaved & re-uploaded, but it's not fixed the problem of the tables splitting around the Dark Mistress (GM) rank.

Any ideas? And i hope the solution isnt to clear the database

Find the ["Ranks"] section in CP.lua and see if anything is duplicated

by **steeldragon** » Fri Jul 14, 2006 1:41 pm

As you can see below there's no duplications of ranks at all now. would it be prudent to go directly into the database & amend the ranks manually?

Code: Select all: ["Ranks"] = { ["Index"] = { ["Rank4"] = { ["Title"] = "Exorcist", ["Control"] = "1:1:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0", ["Index"] = 4, }, ["Rank5"] = { ["Title"] = "Acolyte", ["Control"] = "1:1:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0", ["Index"] = 5, }, ["Rank2"] = { ["Title"] = "Dark Inquisitor", ["Control"] = "1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1", ["Index"] = 2, }, ["Rank1"] = { ["Title"] = "Dark Mistress", ["Control"] = "1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1", ["Index"] = 1, }, ["Rank3"] = { ["Title"] = "Dark Council", ["Control"] = "1:1:1:1:0:0:0:0:1:1:1:1:0", ["Index"] = 3, },

Well, roster doesnt store or even use this array
It's just a way to see if there is anything wrong with GP in getting the data

One possible solution, empty all the tables except roster_config and upload fresh

by **steeldragon** » Fri Jul 14, 2006 2:01 pm

fixed! i emptied the roster_members table & re-uploaded. on checking the table i found that the top 2 ranks were occupying slot 1 in the sorting which was causing the table to split.

thanks for your help zanix
