Cyclops can stay like it, the others probably deserve higher (cyclops takes 0 skill lol)

it probably should have a sub one modifier for it's skill point allocation on kill something like 0.75 seems appropriate.

 

[ONLY ->->->throbium<-<-<-]

the hlstatsx's general weapon stats page, shows that the weapons that don't attribute points correctly also show that zero people have gotten any kills with them in the last 28 days, but they are still on the weapon board (except the cyclops for some reason). We can see that they used to attribute points correctly since their legacy kill stats exist (except for the cyclops) so this suggests that the change that happened to cause this error is resent likely, from the steam release. I'm guessing the system works by the weapons having a "name" and that "name" has an attributed skill value modifier in a larger table, if the name was incorrectly put in from pre steam to steam release then the table name and the kill name would be different and so the kill would have zero modifier, giving the lowest points being awarded. as for the cyclops I just think it was straight up never added to the big table. Take this all with a mountain sized grain of salt, as I am stupid and don't know code.

Also kills from the first dynamite explosion also give the lowest point total. So that's another one.

That's odd

But I do think that hunstman giving minimum points is probably the most aggregious, that weapon easily has the highest skill floor in the game and I think the points should probably match. Not that any of this really matters for me since I get minimum points no matter what I do

happy pride month

 

[ONLY ->->->throbium<-<-<-]

True that. Happy pride month.

 

[ONLY ->->->throbium<-<-<-]

So little discovery, I found the big table and I found a way to see what hlstatsx is incorrectly attributing kills too.

 

[ONLY ->->->throbium<-<-<-]

the aa cannon should be reading as aa_cannon but it's getting Aa_cannon

 

[ONLY ->->->throbium<-<-<-]

the huntsman wants "huntsman" but is getting tf2c_projectile_arrow.

 

[ONLY ->->->throbium<-<-<-]

the dynamite pack wants "mirv_projectile" but is getting "Mirv"

 

[ONLY ->->->throbium<-<-<-]

the cyclops isn't in the big table so I can't say what it wants, but the name kills from it are sending out is "yclops"

 

[ONLY ->->->throbium<-<-<-]

I found the "name" that the guns were "sending out" because the hlstatx is correctly tracking gotten kills with weapons of broken values in peoples individual tracking. and when you click on the weapon and look over the kill leaderboard for the weapon under the tracking designation (name) found on peoples individual stat pages you find what Hlstatsx is calling those kills.

weapons give the same issue thankfully my parents didn't have very much money to help out, so the numbers on paper could look bigger

 

[ONLY ->->->throbium<-<-<-]

I'm sorry to hear about your parents financial situation vault bot ;(

 

[ONLY ->->->throbium<-<-<-]

Aa_gun not cannon*

 

[VintagePC]

ah those definitely sound like changes from the steam release and someone probably edited those for pre-steam at some point years ago

 

[VintagePC]

Let me at least fix the broken names so we are back in sync; you can shoot me a DM if you find any others.

 

[VintagePC]

Changing the points balance is probably a bit more of an involved discussion but maybe that'll fix itself once we actually have them being tracked correctly
