Sack!

[Devari]

 Sack...

It doesn't work properly!

I was on ragnarok sacking windy. I was getting good numbers of Mead/Bannock, but I was getting a similar number each time. I checked his networth. No drop!

So... Basically, sack doesn't seem to work. The attacked is credited with the resources captured, but hte defender does not lose them. In effect, this is a white hole bug - it is generating more and more food/cash.

I looked at the copy of BAXX I had. The bug is there too.

[Wildwood]

 I never sack so it does not affect me.

[calria]

 Nobody cares whether or not you use sack, Wildwood.

[IFman]

 That's nice wildwood, but it accects anyone who sacks.
unfortunately, it doesn't accect the sackee's land

[Wolf Snare]

 WHAT? That is pretty bad. can you fix it? I was trying to kill him to gain his NW, but knowing /that/ earlier would have been alot easier...

What of the troops bug? Is /that/ fixable?

[Trogdor 22]

 Troops bug?
How does the sack bug affect me? I'm still getting money/food from sacking, aren't I? And that person gets to keep their's, so everyone wins, right? Or am I missing something...

[IFman]

 no, you got it.

[Wolf Snare]

 Not entirely. Thing is, someone could just sack him a ton and it wouldn't matter. Meaning the person sacking will gain an insane amount of resources, possibly more than the sackee has in the first place. Should be fixed.

And yeah. the troops bug has something to do with sack too. It says you lost negative x amount of troops, and it gives you that amount. My cousin got 4.5 billion light elves (stoats) , and he boosted up to 180 billion NW.

Quite insane...

[Devari]

 Hm...

I've been testing sack.

It appears the bug effects only protectorates.

The error is here:

Code Select Expand

if ($enemy[protectorate] > 0) {
 saveUserData($enemy,"land ".implode(" ",$bldlst)." freeland defsucc deftotal attacks");
 $enemyparent[armtrp] -= floor($enemyparent[armtrp]*0.75)-$enemy[armtrp];
 $enemyparent[lndtrp] -= floor($enemyparent[lndtrp]*0.75)-$enemy[lndtrp];
 $enemyparent[flytrp] -= floor($enemyparent[flytrp]*0.75)-$enemy[flytrp];
 $enemyparent[seatrp] -= floor($enemyparent[seatrp]*0.75)-$enemy[seatrp];
 saveUserDataNet($enemyparent,"networth ".implode(" ",$trplst));
 $enemy = loadUser($target);
 saveUserDataNet($enemy,"networth");
}

Most specifically, here:

Code Select Expand

 $enemy = loadUser($target);
saveUserDataNet($enemy,"networth");

For one, it doesn't seem to save the user's lost resources. But, more importantly, it overwrites the other variables by loading the user again.

 Unfortunately, you had to sack me 5-6 times in order to discover this... *mutters* Evil playing Admins...
(note: this was on Ragnarok that I speak of)
