[Howto/Release] Tie PlayerUID To All Buildable Objects / Keep plot pole after death [No SQL Triggers] UPDATE 16/04/2014

[Detour]

Hey, so i had this running before the steam required release and was working fine.

 

Then did the update and the player id's changed to the steam ID. So, i didn't want to make drastic changes yet. 

 

What i did, worked for me, was just increase the limit to the characterid column in object_data with a sql command. Syntax for what you use can be found here: http://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_alter.asp

 

If you received the "out of range" error. This is what i used. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14284494/mysql-error-1264-out-of-range-value-for-column

 

Then all i had to do was delete the players plot pole with in game tools then give them a new one. Able to build fine and continue using this as before. 

 

ALTER TABLE object_data
MODIFY COLUMN  CharacterID varchar(25)

 

I did attempt to just link what was all ready built with the new steam ID and that didn't work as attended. Well it did alter the column but i wasn't able to build. 

 

SET sql_safe_updates=0;
UPDATE `object_data` SET `CharacterID`='new steam ID' WHERE `CharacterID`='old player ID';

 

This is just a quick fix but got the job done. Hope that helps anyone else trying to fix this. 

 

Good luck and thank you for the work here.

EDIT: I take it back, i just used the getPlayerUIDOld in place of anything that had getPlayerUID. Works great for right now till i complete the upgrade.

Hello, 

I have been having a problem.  My problem is that when one player tries to tag the other, the names only show up as white like normal.  It only lets the first person tag and not the other.  I have read over all of the steps 3 times now but still will not work.

if there is anyone who could help, that would be awesome!

 

Thanks!

Does this work with 1.0.5.1?

Just to reply to this in case anyone else has been wondering.  No it doesn't work due to an out of bounds exception with the PlayerUID being too long for the database. :( 
I have tried increasing the length and the data type for the objectID and CharacterID which doesn't work.
