My census info not being processed

Panoptican · Post by **Panoptican** » Sun Aug 10, 2008 2:01 pm

I've ran the census numerous times now while playing WoW and each time it tells me I've discovered at least 100 new characters and have seen hundreds more. I've uploaded the censusplus.lua's as well as some killingfields.lua's and nothing happens (I know I'm doing this right, updated versions of the mod, correct files and all). I've done this for about a week now and I can see in my profile that 4 of these have been processed. And yet, I have contributed 0 new entries and 0 updated entries. Also, my very own character hasn't been seen since June 10th apparently. I've used this character during all four of the processed censuses. Also none of the battlegrounds I've participated in have been processed either. Well, I hope this is just a problem for myself, but I figured I'd make a post just in case it wasn't.

Apparently you did something different as your last update yielded updates?

Hey, I'm new here and this was the most recent thread. I was checking the battleground data for my battlegroup and it seams to be very outdated. It this data still current, is this site active. I'm thinking of running killingfield and uploading the data, but I didn't want to waste my time. Thanks for your response.

this site is active as much as the collective efforts go. "The more the merrier"

Thats what I wanted to know

I'll be installing add on today at lunch. I want to see all my battleground wins on here!

Just and FYI it'll record all the BGs that you have, not retroactively

I noticed that the second censusplus file in my variables was actually a .lua file type and the one I had been uploading is .bak file. I really don't know what that means, but I tried the .lua file and it worked. It's kind of confusing (or maybe I'm just dumb) when you ask for censusplus.lua and one of the files is actually called that, but the one you want is just censusplus, but an actual .lua file type. I think some clarification on the upload page about which file to use would be helpful for other first timers like myself. Thanks.

If you turn on showing full filenames in Windows the correct file is called censusplus.lua - the problem is that windows likes to hide extensions if you don't tell it not to.

Hmm, I thought it was mentioned on the site somewhere, as this is a very common problem, but I can't find it - one to add to the FAQ, Rollie?

Yes, happens all too frequently!
