Memberlist Question

[Frink]

Hi. First off, great program, I love it. It's going to make our DKP so much easier to manage.

After some experimenting, I got the parsing to work the way we want. The only issue I ran into during the upload, is an error with a user not existing on the server side.

Is there some way to have the user created automatically, if it doesn't already exist? Or would I need to go in and manually create each user ID?

Thanks

Edit -> Preferences -> Parse Settings -> Action taken with unknown players -> Select "Add" from the dropdown list.

Bye, Kol.

What Kolkas said, just remember to connect to the server first.

Odd, I'm pretty sure that's the setting I have, but the users don't get created.

I'll check again when I get home.

Thanks

I checked the settings, and I did have that option selected. I tried another upload, and this time, some of the users were created (only 12 of the 20 raid members). The others character names were flagged as invalid, and did not get created.

I ended up manually entering them in the member list, prior to the upload. Everything works great besides this. Not that big a deal, just an odd issue.

Strange, if you connect first then you should be connected to the server's member list. So it should have added the members to the server when you parsed the log. I will take a look at it later tonight.

I created a second eqdkp site for me to test things out.

I parsed a bunch of logs, and uploaded them...seemed like everything was working fine, and I didn't get any user ID errors.

I'm not quite sure why I'm picking up errors on my live site though. I may just end up wiping all the users, and re-parsing everything for upload.

[Lokorin]

If it worked on a new installation but not on your live one then it might be that some installed modification that alters the members table. That could cause the plugin to fail when trying to create new members.

An easy way to test that is by first connecting to the server, then opening the member list (it will now be the one that the server uses) and add a member. Since you are connected the member will also be created on the server, so you should get some sort of error which might give more information.

Well, after I cleaned all the tables up, along with the user ID's, everything's been working fine. Odd, but at least it's ok now.

I do have another question though. I've uploaded the raid data as-is, though many of us raid on alts, depending on which classes are needed at the time.

I'm a bit unsure how the whole "alias" thing works..if I attach an alias to my main, it shows as Character Main ---> Alt. in the member list.

Will the DKP get combined into the main ID somehow?

Thanks

It does not apply to existing entries in EQDKP, only to logs when they are parsed by DKPLP.

Uploaded my Member Aliases prior to uploading the Day. In the raid there are 2 alts which apear in the aliases list. I get:

"Failed to add a loot item to the raid, cause: Unrecognized buyer (AltName)."

And no loot added to mains.

2nd try: now I deleted the alts from the memberlist, but they are still in the aliases list:

same warning. No loot added to mains.

What do I do wrong?

edit: and ofc when I upload the memberlist including the alts, the alts get the dkp, and not the mains.

[Lokorin]

The member aliases seem to be working, maybe you have them reversed in the alias llist? The alias list should display them as

[Golin]

No, that is the way my alias list is build up alright.
