Hi, I had installed the Ikariam Tools some time ago and just recently I noticed that the Highscore numbers are wrong when you cl.ick on someone's town. I then re-installed it just now and it still shows the gold count wrong on some towns. I don't understand why. I check the person in the Highscore sections and the numbers are different. Could I be doing something wrong. For example: I go to an island and click on a particular player and it shows that he has over 3 million in gold. But when I click on it in Highscore it shows 65 thousand plus. I was also on line with our Leader and he too shows 65 thousand plus. Is there a bug here?
Thanks for your help. |

I was just looking over the iformation to double check, and the numbers are matching up just fine. I don't know what's going on that it would mis-report this for you. |

Hi, Thank you for looking into this. I do find that most of the numbers are fine but some are just way off the charts. I can't seem to find an explanation nor do I know how to figure it out. There is one player associated with our group who's numbers do not make any sense. When I check the Highscore and list the players name the numbers seem to fit, being that his level is relatively low. But when I click on his town on his island the numbers are unbelievably high. Is there a possibility that this player has more than we can see? Our Leader and I have been trying to figure this out for some time now. Below are the number comparisons. Could this be a glitch a fluke? I don't know but it concerns us that we are not getting the correct figures. Here is his info from the Highscore Section: Total Points - 878 Master Builders - 126 Building Levels - 47 Scientists - 130 Levels of Research - 72 Generals - 42 Gold Stock - 77,655 Here is his info when I click on the town: His total points are 878 Highscore Info

I'm guessing that the script is choking on something on the page or in the player's name and is therefore unable to get the correct numbers for that player. The script essentially does a request for the high score page for a given player then checks the resulting HTML using pattern matching to extract the scores. If it can't find the score, it just uses the score for the last city that it could find a score for. Assuming that this is what's going on, the solution to this would be to tell the script to display "?" instead of using the last valid score if it can't find a match. Could you by chance give me the player names and servers for which you are seing bad results? This way I could look into the resulting code and find out why the pattern matching is failing. |

Thank you again for your response. I am concerned puting that player's name here where everyone could see it. If there is an issue with him - the last thing I want to be is responsible for anything happening to him. That would be up to the Board, not me. If there is another way to inform you, PM or whatever I will provide you his name. The server we are on is Delta. I am sorry to have to put it this way but I believe in giving everyone a fair chance.

Helene, I completely understand. I have yet to implement a PM function in these forums, so you can use the contact us form for the time being. |

Hi - I have sent a previous message regarding the incorrect high scores plus the name of the person that I was showing with the wrong scores. Well I have found more but more important --- The Add-on doesn't seem to be working correctly. 3 others of my group are having the same problem. We are on the Delta Server.
The animation part when you sign in causes the buildings to be blank and not show. Plus the whole screen is a distortion. I have checked my system and it is running fine but the fact that it shows this problem on other members computers makes me think that there is something wrong with the add-on. I even reloaded it 3 times and it still is not working - I am sorry to say. I really like this add-on and don't understand why it is not working now.
I would appreciate any help or information you can give me.
Thanks so much. Helene |
