BetterTC 1.5.95

1 hour ago, SlayersRust said:

I've disabled allowing of using Wallpapers within BetterTC and haven't had the issue of bases dissapearing since disabling.

However, others say they have it deactivated and it still happens, so everything is a mystery.

This plugin has been breaking TC’S, bases, etc., for a while. Why are you acting like it’s new information? Search through discussions, support tickets, Discords, and you’ll find someone getting done in by this plugin fairly often.

Would it be possible to get an Economics Integration, so that a Change of skins or Upgrade or wallpaper and so on will cost a fixe Price for each player who will activate this?

There was a problem a while back (which has since been fixed) involving the random appearance of wallpapers on PvE servers that had damage disabled in a plugin. This was resolved by adding the relevant configuration here and disabling it in the other plugin. So the problem was solved.

Currently, there are no confirmed serious issues that are 100% caused by the plugin itself, basically because if there were, it would already be fixed (like some of the fixes already implemented in the various updates I've released) or the problematic function would be disabled.

I'm currently only aware of the issue where game tips aren't working (which I've already fixed for the next update).

And the issue of parts of a building disappearing (since the November update) is being investigated. Some say it's related to BetterTC, but nothing is 100% confirmed yet, and I haven't personally experienced it, nor has anyone managed to replicate the bug or force it to appear to test and find the problem. Since the building pieces are only removed on server restarts and randomly (not on every restart), I've only heard about this issue from several users this month, not before.

What other problems are you reporting?

Edit: Oh, and yes, there was a bug in an update where the TCs disappeared when updating the skin or when placing them with skin replacement enabled, but it was fixed quickly. The plugin itself does not remove or make any TCs disappear outside of that function, so any other problem of TCs disappearing has nothing to do with BetterTC but is more likely due to a poor base design with multiple TCs (which often happens).

Do you mean that instead of consuming TC resources, it consumes RP or economics currency?

It could be considered for a future update, but I'm not promising anything.

nope, more like you have to pay an extra fee to do it via BetterNPC instead of DIY.

Maybe with an VIP Option to get cheaper.

I don't quite understand what you're proposing. How would you integrate this plugin with BetterTC?

i think you let your anger get the best of you here. EVERY single time there has been an issue with this plugin, the dev has been QUICK to fix any and every issue brought to his attention. I have also spoken with him plenty in support tickets with issues I've had and helping me understand things better (my own issues of not understanding by the way, not a plugin issue) and every single time, he has answered promptly and helped me all the way thru. I'm not sure why you're so mad about this amazing plugin but i'll tell you its one of the better ones on the market. 

Shit happens to ALL plugins to this degree when a force wipe happens and any experienced or observant server owner/admin can see that. Take a breather and revisit the plugin when you have a better understanding of how Facepunch updates and custom plugin updates cause breaks within all aspects of modded servers.

Thanks for bringing some common sense to the table! Seeing this person's attitude, comments, and the review they left, I don't think I should waste my time with them, as they don't contribute anything constructive.

I think it's clear how I try to keep the plugin as good as possible, in addition to adding new features from time to time.

It’s not that deep? I don’t use this plugin since every time I try to use it, there are issues. I bought it in 2023. It’s never lasted more than a wipe.

I left a review because at first glance, an unsuspecting customer would think this is a problem-free plugin.

You still haven't specified what problem BetterTC is currently causing, and you're not certain that it's 100% BetterTC itself, and not a combination of several plugins. You only say there are problems, without specifying what they are.

This is different from someone else who reported a compatibility issue with the Barges plugin today, which will be fixed in the next update.

It's also different from someone else who submitted a ticket on another platform stating that it wasn't compatible with their Autocodelock plugin for TC.

List the problems, and tell me how I can replicate them so I can investigate and fix them. If you don't tell me what the problems are or how they're caused, I'll never be able to fix them; it's easy to understand.

ive used it for seems like 1.5 or 2 years now, hands down one my favs, and my player favs. only had issues with images loading, and an odd json error which a support ticket got fixed within a few days.

Im just gonna put it out there,. maybe your bad attitude is really more of a reflection on you at this point. your like it breaks things, yet, no solid proof, you likely have 100 other plugins, no listings, no debugging, not much of anything that can help dev or other admins that read your comments.. rust admins have these challenges, and its not an easy thing to keep up with all the crap fp pushes out each month.
ninco90 +1000 in my book.

Bad attitude? That’s quite an assumption from just a few lines of text. Are you not in any of the RUST-related Discord servers? If you are then you could easily see the frequent issues people have with this plugin.

And just like you, if any of them took to 2 seconds to let the dev know the issue instead of bitching to people that are not the person that can fix it, it would most likely get corrected if there were an issue OR the dev will help you determine other plugins that may be interfering so that either he can fix or get with that other dev to have the correct compatibility. Hes done it many times if you cant see that by any interactions in spaces he discusses his plugin. 

Im not 100% sure but last i saw the dev isnt a mind reader. You have to let him know what issues youre experiencing for him to correct them properly. And yes, we have brought your attitude because you very much have given off, "i wont tell you my problem, you should know whats wrong and im mad about it. "

As another user stated above, i have also tried a bunch of other plugins similar and this is by far the best one for owner and player alike. Im sorry you have issues saying what your issues are but thats not on the dev of this plugin at all.
