[TM2][PAYEMENT] Question to Dev.: Bill method

[kapsubm]

Hi, i posted this allready in the server forums, but got no answer, so maybe it was the wrong place.

This question i refering to a real big bug and we should have at least the answer "we know about this and are working on it. "

I am coding plugins for Fox-control and i really have the big problem (in fact i think every plugin developer has) that the planet transactions do not work to any playeracount the same way.

I am getting a bill state in my scripts to verify if a planet transaction is done. (bet´s, payments etc.)
The Method to ask for a Bill state is GetBillState. Sometimes it returns payed , but no planets are added to the servers acount. With other users it Does work (nearly same time, same serveracount to pay to).

In here some transaction id´s with TIme and planets, even with the login who payed the planets.
Thing is: this seems to be acount depending some players can donate, other do not but get a message that the have paed (no planets where payed, but billstate returns 4 "payed". we cannot write our plugins with the current bugged getbillstate method, and the people DO want to have their plugins. so please tell us whats going on, and if anyone is allready working on that.

we tried different ways : Serveracount as parameter, no parameter (should send the planets to the serveracount ) also with my playeracount instead of the serveracount. it does not give back true results, as u cant trust them.
here some debugs (array answer from GetBillState) Oh and btw the server acount got punished each tracnsaction (payed or not reall payed with a tax of 1 planet). please give this thing a high priority as planets are the games currency.

and non working ( payed but not really payed) o

Code: Select all

Array
(
    [State] => 4
    [StateName] => Payed
    [TransactionId] => 11522
)
[16.09.11 13:17:49] 4 Donate Status raggie for 50 Planets

and a working one from same ip (nearly same time)
(other acount)

Code: Select all

)
Array
(
    [State] => 4
    [StateName] => Payed
    [TransactionId] => 11523
)
[16.09.11 13:19:47] 4 Donate Status katinka for 50 Planets

edit: and again a non working transaction ( seems to be Acount depending)

Code: Select all

Array
(
    [State] => 4
    [StateName] => Payed
    [TransactionId] => 11564
)
[16.09.11 13:28:17] 4 Donate Status raggie for 50 planets

edit: if anyone from nadeo could please have a look into it ?
I mean here are the transaction numbers and logins, those must be on the masterserver too.

Since the beta ended, Nadeo is not working nearly 24/7 anymore (especially not in weekends), and after several months of crunch time, that's very understandable.

So maybe you can also demonstrate a little understanding that your Saturday post wasn't answered instantly, and avoid a bump on Saturday evening and again today.
Besides, this is just one of several (many?) problems Nadeo needs to address, so who knows in what priority they're working on stuff. Yes it's inconvenient that donations don't work correctly, but it's hardly the end of the world.

Thanks for reply xymph,
indeed, its not the end of the world, but a report at page 3 of a forum wont
get read and wont help other developers at all ...
About the Priority:
i do not really understand your reply: its the game´s currency, it must have a high priority. and its not only donate,
its betting and all things related to the bill method: So yes not the end of the World, low priority: no , not in my eyes.

in case of Bets and payments to the server you might loose an anourmous amount of planets. If you order planets from players to send them to a map author for example.
Its only play money , i know, but hosters do need this play money to get higher ranked servers,
and they do need it working and not faulty.

example:
a bet is running , lets say 7 players go and bet:
each one 50 planets =350 planets. Normaly this planets will be recieved by the server temporary.
-> thats not working at the moment.
lets say they do this only 10 rounds: 3500 planets (as serverhoster i do have 5000 planets. from start on)
so after 15 bet rounds my planets are gone at all.

about after release they wont work 24/7 on the game : i think that s not right,
the most work coming to a developer, normally is right after release.
Before , you have a specific amount of time, but after release the situation is completly different , the product is life and bugs which havent been sorted out do really hurt much more then before. i am pretty shure, they do not sleep very much.

anyway better having a reply that somebody reads it than no reply

and sorry for crossposting, as i see now, the real forum for that seems not to be in support or the dedicated forum.
