Zu viele passende Chars // Too many fitting charakers(?)

Post by Proditor11 »

I was checking the server population of my server at 20:15.
During the test i got the error message that there are too many chars found with:

/who r-"Human" c-"Paladin" 60-60 n-a

I got this error around 10 times during the check. Now my Question.


- Does Census+ still count the ppl, at last the 50 they are listet, or doesnt count Census them at all?

- Is there a way to change the source code (for beginner programmer) so Census is counting correctly?




P.S.:
I got the newest version of Census.

It takes the 50 that it sees. The limitatation is that WoW will only return 50 characters per who.

There may be ways to break it down further, for example, you could go by zone or something. I don't know if you would want to try to change the way that C+ is programmed, but you could manually who by zone or whatever you wanted to. That's what I would do if I cared enough ;) because I don't trust myself enough to make any changes to the mod.

I have things in place to pick it up even if there are more than 50 returned. If you turn Verbose mode off, you won't see all those warning messages.

Oh cool. I just assumed that if it returned that it only picked up the 50 that it sees. Maybe I don't have the latest version though either...

Oh yes, if a result is 50 or more, it will only pick up those 50, but it keeps doing the divide and conquor method, and eventually does some double ups to make sure it catches everyone.

Hehe, I posted almost the exact same thing a month or two ago.

Rollie, maybe an updated FAQ is needed?
