Some issues....

Hey man,

I've been using this plugin for a LONG time now. I really like what you've done over the course of its development. But there are some huge issues that are happening ever since the 3.1.0 rewrite.

Some of the issues i've faced are:

1. Plugins aren't being detected correctly, even though they were before
2. Plugins that need to be updated aren't showing up in discord. None of the uMod plugins are saying they need updating... such as Excavator Lock, bGrade, etc.
3. The plugin seems to be firing off the discord webhooks at a weird interval and not at what the interval used to be.

Overall I think this is an awesome plugin, but seriously, I'm going to revert back to 3.0.0. Theres just way too many issues with >= 3.1.0 for me. I liked it when it actually worked. Now, I have to either get rid of this plugin altogether, or try a different plugin because its not showing me anymore what plugins need to be updated reliably.

See the discussion section for more information. I'm not the only one having these issues.

Hi, can you give me your config file for tests

 

UpdateChecker.json

 

So this is after I regenerated the file. Obviously its missing some stuff. I'm currently reconfiguring it, will report back. But I'm just bringing this to your attention as this is a wide spread issue as shown in the discussions tab section of the plugin page.

Also this whole "Discord Message ID" thing is so confusing and totally pointless. I don't get why it was even introduced in the first place. It wasn't needed before. Why is it needed now, and what are the advantages of it? Your description really doesn't explain what exactly it does or why its needed...

Q: How to get "Discord message ID"?
A: You need to copy the link to the message that will send the bot through the webhook that you specified and copy from there the last digits before the symbol /.

Example: 
Link: https://discord.com/channels/1109772761158647808/1109773148775251978/1110125298017648641 
You need to copy "1110125298017648641".

 

This is necessary so that you do not receive a new message about the plugins that you need to update, if you specify Message ID, then the ID message of which you indicated will be replaced with a new one, so you will not have spam.

So i get discord message and ExcavatorLock 0.4.25 founded, i just add my discordhook and nothing more

That makes sense. I thought that this was a mandatory thing and thats why it wasn't working correctly. After wipe tomorrow/today I'll be sure to make sure that everything is good to go. Its just been really frustrating the past few weeks. I feel as though stuff is getting missed. It could entirely be my user error. If it is then I'm sorry to bother you with this support message. I'll tidy things up and report back after wipe in 10 hours.

I should have made this clear in the description of the plugin, so it's all my fault

Also is there a console command that can force an update check that isn't dependent on the timer? It would be super useful for debug purposes.

 

Never mind.... I looked at the .cs file and found it. But its not in the description of the plugin page.

Looks like everything is working correctly. If I have any issues I'll report back to you, but you can close this ticket. Thank you.
