Resolved TFS Points Glitch/Bug

[Wuffles]

So on the TDM_hightower no friendies/carts server, there's the TFS plugin thing, gives points on doing stuff like killing, airshots, doms, etc.

But its Sorta bugged, like, really Buggy, You can get points for 'airshotting' yourself, this includes Boston Basher's self-bleed, Loose cannon jumping, and all sorts of self-harming, apart from fall damage.

Later on, started getting Bigger amounts of points, even going into Quadillions, and then into the Negatives, like -136352 points.

First kill on someone who just entered the server - which started off the huge points thing

Got a few screenshots of the chat with the points being bugged and such.

Checked points at the end Before re-joining server:

After re-joining the server the i was basically bottom rank, #6352 or something, with 0 points.
Boston Basher Self-harming Point Farming:

Big point lose on death

I'm not sure if this is just a one-time thing or just on the hightower server specifically and not too sure if i can repeat it again.

TFS is still being worked on, it's not near final release. Thanks for reporting the bug though!

Is there any way to turn it off so it doesn’t spam the chat with points?

I miss the old point system...

Something this large takes a lot of work to complete. The plugin was finally updated after being about a month behind my dev version.

As such, I only have myself, my laptop, and bots to test things with, so everything is still very "in progress", and I can't test everything with 2 clients.

That said, I also have a tough degree to work on, so don't expect any fixes for it until at least another week and a half.

If you can provide any more accurate information about what triggers the massive bonus point numbers if you manage to work it out while playing, then do let me know, it'll speed things up a bit.

I once joined a Hightower gungame server and the points for my stranges skyrocketed for no reason.

Irrelevant, and was fixed a long time ago, before TFStats was conceived.

This just happened to me as well. Now my points are WAY in the negative.

AFAIK, this issue is only triggered by killstreak bonus points.

The reason for the huge bonus points is because of a missing float->int conversion - the bonus points is being calculated and stored as a 32-bit float, but being loaded and added as a 32-bit int. Thus, even a value of 2.0 when reinterpreted as an int becomes 0x40000000, or 1073741824 - just over 1 billion.

The total score is stored as a signed 32-bit int - thus when a player's score reaches about 2 billion (2,147,483,648 to be precise), it overflows and wraps back around to the negatives.

Since I've gotten reasonable bonus points for things other than killstreaks, I suspect the issue is specific to killstreaks.

Took one look at this statement and noticed this glaring silly mistake.Thanks for that pointer. hah
A new version with quite a few fixes has been pushed, so it's out of my hands for the time being.
