Karma persist

[Excelsior]

Hi i have this in my karma settings KARMA.cv.persist = CreateConVar("ttt_karma_persist", "1") Yet my karma still resets every time theres a level change,what is it im doing wrong?

[Scott]

We need to see code to know what you're doing wrong?

edit:

You should try putting it in your server.cfg: ttt_karma_persist 1
That value is only the default value when used in CreateConVar. Because you already have this set on the server it won't override it.

Did you restart your server? "exec server" in console may work(?).

Type ttt_karma_persist and see if it returns "ttt_karma_persist" = "1"

[Excelsior]

I typed karma persist in console and this came up
"ttt_karma_persist" = "1" ( def. "" )
game clientcmd_can_execute

*bump* anyone?

That indicates that it is already 1.

Please use

 tags around text. But, if you didn't change anything in the file, it won't be relevant...

In your server-console window type in: ttt_karma_persist[enter] and see if it responds with 1, or 0... If it is 0, type: ttt_karma_persist 1[enter]

Even if you change the persist convar in the file from 0 to 1, the server may cache that convar so it would need to be changed via server console window or via server.cfg ( although some of the custom convars aren't created before server.cfg is created, so game.ConsoleCommand or game.ConCommand( "ttt_karma_persist 1\n" ); could be used in a hook.Add( "Initialize" or InitPostEntity


Edit: Whoops, left window open while I typed something else up...
So ttt_karma_persist is 1, and it isn't working?

Open your sv.db on your server using SQLite Manager ( a plugin for Firefox ); see if it is possible to read the data. Alternatively, you could run this: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26074909/tutoring/database/converting_sv_db_to_mysql.lua.html -- and see if it outputs the PData for the karma.....

your sv.db may be corrupt; if you don't store important information, try deleting it ( or rename it during a map-change / shutdown, and let the server create a new one )
