Title: Interest Upgrade Not Working?
Post by: spirit1flyer on November 21, 2005, 07:02:32 PM
it does not seem my interest upgrade I bought is working.  I should have made 96.5 ore but I only made 57.9 today.   I have been noticing a problem with it but I had to see a couple days of it first.   I have a 5% interest rate but I am only making 3%

Is it a glich in the system or something I did wrong?

Lol, I've never even checked. I've just always assumed it gave me how much it said it would. Although, I did wonder about it one day.  :unsure:

Yes, I'm definately getting less than 5% interest.  :(

Seems like it only tells you you're getting 5% (and the actual amount shown is 5%) but it only increases your bank balance by 3%.

Forgive me for my ignorance, but what exactly is the object of this conversation? An upgrade in OP2? Which one, then? I seem to be lost in the topic...

we are talking about an interest upgrade in the IBstore  ;)  
Title: Interest Upgrade Not Working?
Post by: Hooman on November 23, 2005, 05:24:29 PM
Lol, yes. Nothing to do with OP2. Just an OP2 themed forum add on. The IBStore is back, and edited for "credits" are now called "ore".

Oh, I see

Whoa - I had no idea that part of the forum even existed. Looks like I'll have to catch up to you guys. Ok - sorry: back on topic.

Mine says increase your interest by 2%. But I don't even have enough money to buy it.

Post by: Hooman on November 23, 2005, 08:41:42 PM
Yeah, it takes a while to save up enough to buy that. But I wouldn't worry about it right now since it doesn't seem to work. :( Save your ore and collect interest on it.

my question how hard can it be to fix this problem
Title: Interest Upgrade Not Working?
Post by: Tellaris on November 28, 2005, 10:13:10 PM
It is difficult when you are the only person doing it and you don't have a whole lot of time to fix it.   Since Hacker is the only one doing it, it may take a bit to fix.
Title: Interest Upgrade Not Working?

Well, we can always keep prodding this thread until he does.  ;) (Or just bring it directly to his attention).

You should talk to hacker about this you know he is the one that does all the store stuff.  And I think hacker can handle it moogle

Post by: HaXtOr on November 29, 2005, 06:35:30 PM

holy crap, how do you get over 2k in the hole?
Title: Interest Upgrade Not Working?
Post by: Hooman on November 29, 2005, 08:22:34 PM
LMAO. Nice going spirit1flyer.  :heh:


Btw, I think it's unlikely anyone other than Hacker would be allowed to work on this. We don't want people getting unauthorized access to the database. It could be a big problem is someone either does it wrong, and screws the database or allows unrestricted access to it, or if someone intentionally puts a backdoor in.

So yeah, needs to be someone who knows PHP (PHP right?), which Hacker does, and it needs to be someone we can trust with access to the database, which Hacker already has. Even if you wrote a patch and passed it to Hacker to verify, he'd still have to spend time looking it over to make sure it was good.

But hey, up to Hacker on what he wants to do.

For those who have already bought it: Go to the IBstore->Inventory->"Use item" on it.

Post by: lordly_dragon on November 30, 2005, 09:02:22 PM
huh there is a crappy thing... you buy rob the bank for 200$ and you can steal max .... 15$ this is crap or what  :huh:  
Title: Interest Upgrade Not Working?
Post by: Hooman on November 30, 2005, 09:09:52 PM
I'm really thinking the best way to go is the hard earned and honest way. Especially considering the downfall of a few people that bought casino items.  :huh:  That's a really huge debt. But then, I guess it's realistic. In the long run, the house wins.  ;)

And yeah, robbing the bank? I'm half afraid they'll confiscate everything I own.  :unsure:

I either did that before and it didn't work or it never showed up for me.  because it still does not work

oh I will get out of it sooner or later anyway I still have 1700 something in the bank so its not like I will have too much trouble getting out of debt  :P

The item was used. It says my current interest rate is now 5%, but I've only been getting 3%.

Lol, yes sprit, that's some impressive debt on hand. Better keep the money in bank where it earns interest. It'll be a while before you can deposit though. ...Unless someone sends you another casino item and you get lucky.  :whistle:  
Title: Interest Upgrade Not Working?
Post by: spirit1flyer on December 01, 2005, 10:34:13 AM
well so far the best I have seen from a casino was 900 so whoever did that would have to send at least 3 of them :P  
Title: Interest Upgrade Not Working?
Post by: BlackBox on December 01, 2005, 05:12:05 PM
Well, I've fixed the interest problem.

The problem was, it was failing to look up the user interest information (namely the extra interest data) when it updated the account information when collecting interest.

This also had the side effect of making it possible to 'cheat' the interest system and obtain interest more than once a day by calling the interest script directly.

These problems have now been fixed.

However, if you have bought an extra interest item or any other item for that matter YOU MUST USE IT from your inventory screen for it to take effect.

Also, on a side note, I've made it so you can't lose more than 200 ore on a casino item.

Well, this issue has been resolved, so I'm locking the topic.
