Description

I noticed that a player in fcweb game 0x10 was delegated when I had to restart server from a save and the player ended up unassigned when control was restored.

I think all branches are affected, not only master?

#5 Updated by Zoltán Žarkov about 3 years ago

File 0003-Save-orig_username-for-delegated-players-in-savegame.patch 0003-Save-orig_username-for-delegated-players-in-savegame.patch added

This fix adds a field to track orig_username in savefile, breaking file compatibility for 2.6.

An alternative is to cancel active delegation when saving in 2.6, or accepting the breakage.

I will make an S3_0 patch as it is.

#6 Updated by Marko Lindqvist about 3 years ago

Would there really be compatibility issues? If an older server loads savegame created by a newer server, it just ignores the field (as if it was not saved -> as if this change was not made). If a newer server loads savegame created by older server, it just gets default empty value (as secfile_lookup_str_default() is used), i.e. same value as it would get if it didn't even try to load it.
