TFS 1.X+ How does the skull system work?

[Mjmackan]

I'm having this odd thing in my config.lua
When timeToDecreaseFrags is set to 24*60*60*1000 the frags is set to normal, however the time to decrease one frag is 23985 hours.
When i lower the timeToDecreaseFrags, the time is lowered but then it higher the frags for the players, so if you had one frags and i set the removal time to 60 * 1000, suddenly the player has 42343~ frags.

Would someone like to explain this without me having to go through the sources?

Can someone please explain?

Because this is a pending minor issue, the time it represents should be in seconds, not ms.
You basically gave yourself shitload of frags - clear your skulltime, change timeToDecreaseFrags to 24*60*60 and test again.

You can see the code responsible for that here.

Yeah i did change timeDecreaseFrags to 24*60*60 but then everyone got about 56746~ frags. What do you mean by clearing skulltime? What is the variable?

call setSkullTime(0) on desired player object
just add a Lua file containing this code in your data\scripts\talkactions and name it anyhow you like.

local talk = TalkAction("/setMySkullTimeToZero")
function talk.onSay(player)
    player:setSkullTime(0)
end
talk:register()

Oh okay then i understand what you meant, then i can just run it once in a loop in globalevents. Thanks! Much appreciation!

or you could just set skulltime table value to zero

Most fitting place would be data\scripts\talkactions, but if it's just for debugging you should be fine with just player:setSkullTime(0) anywhere you have access to the player object.

Then you have to relog and stuff, more additional steps - why alter the database when it's the state that matters?
