[raw notch]

a question for whom developed an internal job tracker for his VTC: never happened the game doesnt send the gameplay event "job delivered"? how you can know if the job has been completed or canceled?

[pulsar jungle]

https://blog.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/2021/12/phpstorm-2021-3-release/

[foggy osprey]

Yeah, when developing ours I noticed that issue as well.

We basically don't check if the job has been delivered, and allow them to "verify" it at all times. Only on the cancellation event do we delete it

[raw notch]

interesting. so it's not only me, is a bug actually

[foggy osprey]

Yeah I think so. It doesn't happen often, but at random moments it just doesn't send the job delivered event

[pulsar jungle]

For me the delivered event is fired pretty consistently

including distance etc

[foggy osprey]

It was a pretty rare issue if I remember correctly

[pulsar jungle]

I see. No memory of running into that issue

[raw notch]

mmmmmm ok thanks

I'm not understanding why it works most of times

[foggy osprey]

I can vaguely remember it happening sometimes if I alt-tabbed out of my game, and then back in. Don't quote me on that though, since it was quite a while ago

Good morning, happy day everyone.

[shadow marsh]

apparently I'm too stupid to work with a JSON API.

As of right now, I'm trying to get data from api.openweathermap.org from 4 different cities (with a for-loop) - but I always get an error, that it is not a json object.

API-Lookalike: https://prnt.sc/21vu6lo
My code (with direction on what is erroring): https://prnt.sc/21vub49
The Error: https://prnt.sc/21vuddx

Can anyone help me

And yes, it's Java

So, I removed the Castings now and did it a bit better, still it errors, with the same message.

Picture with the re-written code; the red arrow directs, where the error is coming from.

[trail vector]

Well, the error says what's wrong, you're trying to read an object while the api returns an array

[shadow marsh]

Right - I managed to get it running 😄

I'm not working often with APIs and thus I were a nub

[whole marsh]

I've been doing some coding lately. Any ideas and hints for improving? https://github.com/jasperaelvoet/SpotDownloader/blob/master/main.py

[ember canyon]

My broadband connection, yet my Visual Studio installer is maxing out at 100-200kbps

My desktop had no issues, this laptop on which I ran speed test is having slow downloads

[visual walrus]

Visual studio never uses the full connection bandwidth.. I find it uses like 2% of mine tbh

And I'm often maxed out at about 20mbps, on a gigabit line.. So in reality, not even using 2%

Assuming that you registered for events (SCS_TELEMETRY_EVENT_gameplay), the function mapped for these events will receive into the 2nd parameter the event info structure. The 'id' element of that struct contains the name of event (string, defined in scssdk_telemetry_common_gameplay_events.h). There are 6 gameplay events that could trigger your mapped function (2 for jobs, 4 for player). Identify the event by their name and take the appropriate actions. For debugging I recommend you to log these events into a text file when they're triggered. Never happened to me to miss the job delivered event.

[raw notch]

thanks, but i've fixed it, it was on my end 🙂

[raw notch]

got a strange error in Laravel: Indirect modification of overloaded property <class>::$property has no effect ($property is a Relation)
that class was inheriting from another one which was declaring the $property, i've removed the inheritance and changed to the classic Model class and also run a dump-autoload but it's not working

any idea?

oof.. turn out the $property was null .. strange error...

[foggy osprey]

I've never seen that exception before

JavaScript - I see no problem.

[ocean mural]

For all those VTC job tracker dev's out there... How did you manage to give a job one specific value in a database? (no primary key or auto increment)

Problem: The program gets a job with the all the values. Now the player delivered the job (event got called, program gets values and inserts it into database).
Now what if the player loads an save game where he still has the job and he deliver it again? The job will be inserted again.
So, is there some sort of value I could use?

I was thinking about some sort of timestamp or multiplying some value numbers from the job, but all could change in each savegame.

[viscid needle]

Could always generate a hash from data in the job that won't ever change for that specific job. Ex: Origin City, Origin Company, Delivery Time, Planned Distance, etc

[ocean mural]

Thanks! But there can be many different jobs who are using the same values, isn't it?

[viscid needle]

Yes, but they won't ever have the same exact hash if you add the planned delivery time and planned distance. If someone takes the same job as a other person you can always throw in a user id or steam id to the hash.

[ocean mural]

yeah, was thinking of just simply adding their id.
Thanks and happy new year then! 😊

[viscid needle]

My pleasure and you too!

[next crane]

This is the same problem that I once encountered when developing VTC.World. There is no trust in any player's saves, that's a fact. Each save can be edited and replaced. Controlling each save and its changes is a very difficult task. If you want to do this, I can wish you patience and good luck!

[ocean mural]

As Andrew mentioned, I can use a hash from the job details aswell as the Players name or id included.
I technically could also use a value from the save in which the user delivered the job. Or simply just a timestamp in Milliseconds when the user first accepted the job. This does not change for that specific job, but differs when he accept the same job again (doing the same job again from beginning)

[next crane]

This is not a bad solution, but you will have to control a lot of parameters.

Unfortunately, we have a lot of tricky players, and not everything is so simple.

For example, you will have to track transport changes during WoTR deliveries.

[ocean mural]

I've made a system in which the user can not load an old save to deliever the same job again.
Instead he would need to change a lot of parameters within the save and job details

[next crane]

I also created such a system)

[raw notch]

so the SCS SDK is bugged because there is no clear event when canceling the WOTR job for teleport or suspending it, right?

[ocean mural]

If a Player would like to "cheat" on a job tracker he could just do it in many ways.
And if the Player delievered the same Job a few times, an admin could just ban him (Internally) and/or delete the Jobs.

[next crane]

This is not a bug, this is how WoTr cargoes work

[raw notch]

well.. is a bug 😄 because the telemetry should notify the job has been discarded in some way. The game knows it because sync with WOTR servers each time you do it. A gameplay event would be better instead of checking if the job has been changed in some of its parameters

[next crane]

If this were a bug, then SCS would have to fix it. But, they don't consider it a mistake.

[raw notch]

it's not the only bug they dont want to fix 😄

[ocean mural]

Facts

[next crane]

To our regret 😦

[raw notch]

(or feature they want to to add)

i've asked if they will ever add some data related to the economy or navigation, the response was: "our partners (read who produce gaming rigs like chairs, gears and wheels) don't need them so if you need them, as community developer, we don't care"

[next crane]

As part of VTCW, I work it out as a rejection of the cargo. If no have cargo in the memory and not in the save.

[raw notch]

ye, i know, is something to deal with

[ocean mural]

Well thats kind of rude. I bet they have some very good devs there who would only take mins to create something like this.

[raw notch]

fundamentally, from what i did understand, the Telemetry SDK is not for us

[next crane]

If you treat these loads as SCS, it all depends on the concept of the project. This is important for us, for VTCW. And someone can ignore it. But, yes, there is no cancel event. Fail of SCS.

[raw notch]

they made it for hardware partners, not for the community

[next crane]

SCS did it through one place.

[ocean mural]

But which "partner" of scs needs these kind of values? I dont think logitech needs the amount of driven km (example) for a gaming chair

[raw notch]

that's a good question, but, nonetheless, they are not interested in adding economy or navigation information

or for example, events for buy \ sell garage, trucks, trailers

[ocean mural]

Yeah that would be very usefull

[raw notch]

maybe we should do some sort of alliances and ask all together about this 🙂

[ocean mural]

Technically, just thinking of economy, you could read the game's save every x seconds (example, amount of trucks) and once the application detects a new truck, it could call an Event itself.
Its just an idea and of course it would need to lot more than just going through the save, but...
Since scs does not want to implement it

[next crane]

If you have a connection with them, it would not be bad to ask them about some unique things, including the new functions of the SDK 🤔

[raw notch]

reading the game save suppose you must read the game.log to know about the current profile and the current game save, then decrypt it to read inside of it, then parse it in a organized way, then compare from the previous one

[ocean mural]

Yeah, but it is possible. Technically

[raw notch]

i dont know if what i have could be called a "connection" 😄 but i've asked for it in the developer channel in r/trucksim discord, and that was the reply

[next crane]

I'm not against collaboration, it will help us all!

[raw notch]

absolutely possible, is only a resource hog because depending on how big the savegame is. Parsing big game save in a reasonable time (few ms) is not really handy

[next crane]

I support and will be glad to cooperate!

[raw notch]

you mean about the "Telemetry Alliance"? 😄

[ocean mural]

If all the devs who work with the sdk would ask together for some more sdk functions, I bet they would implement something in it.
If scs really listens to their community.

[raw notch]

if 😄

they do btw, they listen, maybe not always in the way we expect for, but they do

[next crane]

No, I mean interaction with SCS 🙂

[ocean mural]

I know they do. They absolutely do a great job.
But some decisions are, well, weird.

[raw notch]

as Eronax said, probably the union of more telemetry developers would help to reach an objective

[raw notch]

you know, every company make decisions users dont understand completely all the time, because they are not a charity... so.. some decisions are revenue wise

[ocean mural]

Indeed

Stupid question, but
Is there a way of reading the value when the Player needs to make a pause/break even when he disabled it?
As what I've tried, its not?

[raw notch]

you mean when he sleeps?

[ocean mural]

Yeah

[raw notch]

afaik there is no gameplay event but you can compare the game time of previous frame and the next frame (and i think you should avoid to update the internal teltemetry data while the game is paused) to check what's the difference. i dont think btw each frame can pass more than 1 in-game minute, no?

[ocean mural]

You can read the value when he has it activated.

[opal arch]

That's an unreliable way of doing it as there are more reasons why the time may change

[raw notch]

it's true

ahhh sorry, when have the fatigue disabled? no, the next rest stop time doesnt change

I can execute the install again and send a screenshot, what the console tells me... Not really in the mood to make myself an own modmail bot

hello, i got a quick question. for my school i have to ask some question to 2 people about the job that i want todo after school. For my that is software developer. i was wondering if someone that is a software developer could help me with this. My dms are open if you wanne help or have any question about it. I would greatly appreciate it!

[unkempt hamlet]

Well, you have to request an approval from our Community Management first.

Send a DM to @opaque oriole

[astral basin]

it doesnt even need to be someone from specifice truckersmp just any software developer is ok.

[unkempt hamlet]

It doesn't matter. Any unsolicited surveys must be approved.

[astral basin]

huh?

[astral basin]

so i cant just ask this i have to get a whole approval first? i dindt even send any surveys yet im just asking something

but fine

il delete it.

[meager spoke]

🤨

Could you explain your question again, as I didn't fully understand it

[astral basin]

for my school i needed to interview 2 people from the job that i wanted todo after i finished school, for my in this case that is software development. and since this is a channel or developers i thought i could ask it here.

[meager spoke]

So basically you want to ask 2 devs a couple of questions in regards to their job, correct?

[raw notch]

i think is correct, he is asking generally to developers using this space

[astral basin]

correct.

i already got 1 just need 1 more.

[meager spoke]

That's alright then, it isn't a public survey but just couple questions privately, not against the rules

[raw notch]

is the same thing asking "someone want to help with my code?"

[unkempt hamlet]

That's technically an approval

[meager spoke]

No, that's an overuling of a decision from someone who doesn't moderate the discord, by someone who actually manages it.

Waiting to see the resolution of this: https://t.co/F5YCkJNKjt

It could determine how we approach Laravel 9 long-term support.

[tardy smelt]

Google

[fervent axle]

Why I didn't think about that before ( sarcastic )

[unkempt hamlet]

Nub

[fervent axle]

No.. yeah.. possible

[tardy smelt]

There's many example if you google it. But if you want to do e-commerce why don't you use stuff like Shopify?

[fervent axle]

Because I love making some challenge. And because I love too much Laravel, wanna marry with this framework. I've searched some examples but I don't think they have some good enough who look goods ( imo ) 😅

[tardy smelt]

It's a lot of work to do everything by hand. It depends what you want your ecom to do.

You have to think about purchasing, refunding, canceling, chargeback and all that crap 😛

[fervent axle]

Yeah Ikr, it could be "fun" to make. I'd take that as a lesson 😅

[tardy smelt]

If you have that much free time on your hand I guess. From personal experience it's a lot work and you should make sure that the amount are save as integer if you don't want to run into any issues.

$1 = 100
$1.50 = 150
....

[fervent axle]

Alright, will take it in mind. Anyway if I don't have the time for, as I will create my start-up, I'll give my spaghetti codes to employees if needed

[tardy smelt]

So you love Laravel but you can't do Laravel :iseewhatyoudidthere:

[fervent axle]

I mean, I'm a learner. I don't have the same level than you, great master, but I've made/remade some systems such as recruitment system ( with customizable forms ), I've already worked with Stripe package for some tests in localhost and some others thing. I'm devoted to learn more and do my best

[tardy smelt]

I've never used Stripe. I use Paysafe for the ecom I'm working on.

I've made a customizable forms too if you look at the survey and poll system

[fervent axle]

But here I want to use Strip because it let you choose between some payments options. Example, as I want to make my startup limited to Belgium first, it does mean Bancontact or Maestro, even Mastercard for PayPal options etc etc. I don't want to limit them only with Paysafe 😅

[tardy smelt]

Yeah for sure. I didn't make that decision 😛

I wonder if Stripe fees are higher tho

Just looked at the fees. It seems to be the same as Paysafe plus they have way better developer support

[fervent axle]

Good to know

[tardy smelt]

For sure if I would start from scratch I would use Stripe. But you can see in their example that they are using integer as the amount like the example I gave you above

[fervent axle]

Yeah so it isn't a problem if I set the column price as int 😅

[tardy smelt]

I'm just saying since it's a very important thing 😛

[fervent axle]

Yeah yeah I know, you right. Anyway that's how I'd start the product table 😅

[violet tulip]

oh ye, it's really straightforward

I'm using also Stripe Connect with it, it's not out of the box but as there is the Stripe client in Cachier, must only implement the Stripe Connect SDK calls

[fervent axle]

Cashier is ( imo ) one of the best tool from Laravel 😅

[hollow otter]

oh my goodnes who saw the new update from stackoverflow

[unkempt hamlet]

Filters? Pretty generic, I'd say.

[violet tulip]

i'm going crazy with this error: General error: 1366 Incorrect integer value: 'false' for column 'rejected'
the column has been created with $table->boolean, the Model have $casts for this property as boolean, the value is a boolean and still firing error..

any clue?

[unkempt hamlet]

Is it a direct query or via relation?

[violet tulip]

Eloquent

$model->rejected = false; $model->save()

[unkempt hamlet]

Do you have mutators in the model for this particular field?

[violet tulip]

I've other projects, same logic, and it works

no

only $casts

[unkempt hamlet]

Accessors?

[violet tulip]

for this prop no

[unkempt hamlet]

Enable eloquent queries debug to see how the query gets generated

[violet tulip]

actually all boolean field for this model fire error... also other fields

tried also removing the casts and still error

[unkempt hamlet]

Is the class extends from other models or just default Model?

[violet tulip]

Model

[unkempt hamlet]

Do you have any global scopes?

[violet tulip]

I think it started from the latest Laravel update

no

[unkempt hamlet]

Have you checked the upgrade manual to see if anything related got changed?

[violet tulip]

yes, iirc

will check again

[unkempt hamlet]

Also check service providers to see if anything fancy there

[violet tulip]

update table set multiplayer = 0, approved = false, updated_at = 2022-04-01 18:47:22 where id = 184

this is the query created from laravel

executing directly from phpmyadmin, it works...

'strict' => false, in config/database.php did the trick..

[unkempt hamlet]

Well, if it works, it works.

[fervent axle]

That's really weird that it didn't recognize false as a int value 😅

[unkempt hamlet]

Maybe it is actually tinyint(1) in the DB, Laravel likes to do that

[fervent axle]

So possible

[violet tulip]

yes, it is. and is quite common in many languages \ database when writing to db, manage true\false as 1\0

[shadow marsh]

same with me - PMA shows it as tinyint for 1 true, 0 false.

but when getting/setting it, the query gets true/false and sets it as true/false correctly.

I mean what technologies are you using in the project

This project however needs addition of a lot of features, i plan on making it send notifications to a single channel, so it would be easier for a group of players to keep track of each other's jobs, working on a desktop app with tauri and dockerizing it. Any suggestions/contributions are welcome.

Something I'd like to show off, for Uni I've been creating auto-generating Bingo cards 🙂

This takes its data from our Bingo calling software - accessible via an API, all of which i've made and shows the numbers on each card + which numbers have been called

This allows people to play along via tablet etc. without having to blot anything 🙂

And this directly mirrors paper tickets so if someone claims they have a line etc, it can be easily checked by the host running the bingo rather than having to check each number 😄

Super hyped to try it out

Host view:

[unkempt hamlet]

Looks good, always wanted to do a software for a game show

[wet shale]

hello. question here you can ask if someone helps me make a web page?

[unkempt hamlet]

If you have some issues, then ask here. We are not able to make everything for you.

[wet shale]

OK thank you

[ember canyon]

help me

[shadow marsh]

We can't help you with just that

[ember canyon]

😕

[shadow marsh]

What are you even trying to do

[ember canyon]

TMP User Info

If u let me know how to use API, I will do the rest.

[cinder kayak]

Isn't there an API documentation?

If I'm not wrong, you just have to fetch the result and use it as an array, or?

[ember canyon]

I want to make a user information command. But I am not getting the data from TruckersMP API.

[unkempt hamlet]

Debug the API answer on backend

[ember canyon]

how will i do ?

[shadow marsh]

Just print the content into console and see, what you get

[unkempt hamlet]

I guess it is Node.js and I guess you've missed some promises

[ember canyon]

yes node.js

version 16.13.1

and i'm using djs v12

[unkempt hamlet]

Check if API request code actually returns data, not Promise

[cinder kayak]

Just take your fist and hit the server

Brute force always helps :3

[unkempt hamlet]

Precursive maintenance

[mossy cloud]

What output are you getting at the moment?

[violet tulip]

last 2 days a lot of errors from TMP Api bye bye Sentry quota

[mossy cloud]

Hopefully input rules might block duplicate errors after a certain amount and reduce the number of errors logged

[toxic arrow]

[ember canyon]

[mossy cloud]

What project is that for?

[toxic arrow]

My VTC's tracker, I was away from home for 3 weeks and just before leaving I've removed one of the API endpoints but forgot updating the tracker which led to that

[mossy cloud]

oof

Yep

[nimble galleon]

hello, does anyone know i can make it like #scs-updates? (RSS)

[unkempt hamlet]

MonitoRSS

[mossy cloud]

Either that or use Zapier to listen to a feed, but MonitorRSS will be suitable for an exact match

Very nice!

Sadly I can't show much here but I've been using open bus data from our government to show the current location data of our campus shuttle bus 🙂

[fervent axle]

Sooo funny, I'll use it for my project 😄

[cinder kayak]

Same 😂

[shadow marsh]

ahahaha 😂 lovely

[opal egret]

hi

how does it works i want to set the same one

[unkempt hamlet]

https://dyno.gg/

[vast mauve]

Definitely the best API for developers

[opal egret]

i know that. but the dyno says it can works i setted it. but it doesn't work

[mossy cloud]

https://wiki.dyno.gg/en/commands - You can use ?rolepersist to apply a role via command 🙂

They're probably using custom commands (https://wiki.dyno.gg/en/modules/ccs) in order to react + give the role at the same time, but can't be sure.

[unkempt hamlet]

Reactions are handled by a separate custom bot which checks the message format and VTC in question

[opal egret]

thx bro

[mossy cloud]

nano > vim

[opal egret]

is someone testing the whitelist server?

👍

[ocean mural]

I call it simple perfection

[shadow marsh]

well, depends on where it is used and what's the intention of that "false"

[ocean mural]

It is used right in that case. I just had to smile because it is so "simple".
Instead of making a lot of "why nothing worked", it just says "no"

I dont know whats wrong with my humor though

[unkempt hamlet]

"Let it break" 😄

[ocean mural]

yeah

[unkempt hamlet]

I like that philosophy in Elixir/Erlang

[shadow marsh]

Well, I do that too sometimes - espicially, if I need it as a persistent value, no matter what the outcome is however in certain cases it can be helpful as well, like in debugging

[mossy cloud]

Laravel debugging dd("Noot Noot"); 😂

[shadow marsh]

😂

that's also a way to debug

[fervent axle]

That's the best way

[shadow marsh]

I always do "System.out.println("Error in #row");"

also a weird way, but a way

[cinder spear]

and then you change code and end up with multiple prints with the same number and all of them are out of place

[shadow marsh]

nah, I edit them then too, if neccessary

and once debugging is done, they get removed, otherwise the console would get spammed

[stoic maple]

I'm not sure that I can discuss this here but still,
I'm in search of a discord bot which can send my message for everyone in my server privately. for example, If I want to remind people in my server for the convoy, The bot should forward my message for everyone in server using DM.
Is there any bot available which can fullfill this ?

[unkempt hamlet]

for everyone in server using DM
That's not even a good idea. It should be "everyone who explicitly signed up for that".

[stoic maple]

Yeah, I mean for specific members having a role (like: Registered truckers )

[unkempt hamlet]

It is a pretty specific use case, I've never seen such things in bots before.

[north flax]

Wouldn't recommend it really. You're gonna hit rate limits

And end up tagged by anti-spam systems

[quick glen]

Why not just tag the role in a channel?
People can, and do, disable DM's in discord guilds unless they are from friends so such a bot might not even be able to send a dm to everyone you want to.

[arctic mica]

Ye sending mass DMs will quite quickly get your bot rate limited and flagged as spam. Iirc someone I know tried it and it only got to like 40 DMs before it got rate limited, no matter if they added a timeout or not.

[violet tulip]

we know.. we know...

[shadow marsh]

Just too good, right?

[stoic maple]

Yeah I knew it
But all in my VTC are sleeping always So to wake them up I need some thing

[arctic mica]

Should try to find something that your drivers want then, I know it isn't easy though.

[violet tulip]

hi guys, do you have poor performances running Laravel locally with artisan serve and mysql (xampp or laragon)?
i have API calls taking 10-15 seconds when in production run fast...

is the local artisan webserver that sucsks.. or?

[opal arch]

For me, it is running really fast, no issues with it whatsoever

[violet tulip]

mmm i dont understand why is so slow....

[opal arch]

You should check what is taking that long. If it is reaching the request, processing the request, database access, ...

Have you tried other ways of running Laravel locally? Like with Laravel Homestead

[violet tulip]

database queries are ok, maybe a bit slower than production but not so slower. indeed i want to try homestead

[violet tulip]

why i havent tried Homestead before? 😄

not so speedy as production but now is really acceptable

[unkempt hamlet]

I use it all the time on Hyper-V, really makes a lot of difference.

Not that I recommend to, it is a little but quirky to set up (and it requires you to punch in an Administrator account everytime)

[opal arch]

Happy to hear that :)

[violet tulip]

the virtualbox config works fine

[mossy cloud]

Yeah I have this problem. Not super slow but was trying to optimise an image generation script. Local was about 600ms whereas production was 100-200ms

I use Laragon on Win

I don't use artisan serve though, just have it setup as a virtual host when laragon starts

[violet tulip]

after this experience, suggest to use homestead, simple to configure, almost plug & play

[violet tulip]

@opal arch thanks for the fix on the Dispatcher and the clear message for the log files name change

[opal arch]

Thanks for reporting the issue 👍

[violet tulip]

got some time before understanding reports from the users... was hard to explain the difference btw miles and km in the planned distance 😄

[shadow marsh]

Soooo - I want to implement a feature in my bot, which is kinda like Streamcord, but only via commands.

My bot should do announcements, when a defined user is going live on twitch.
However, I don't seem to find any ideas / solutions for the codebase on how and where I should start.

Well, I did find solutions or somewhere ideas to begin, but in JavaScript. But I code in Java only, so that doesn't really help me much 🙈

Does anyone in here have any ideas or tips?

Thanks in Advance
Kit

[cinder kayak]

Can't you easily use the Twitch-API or something (if there is any)?

[shadow marsh]

didn't found a Java one yet however, they have a JSON API which I could poll every x minutes - already looking onto that and it seems rather complicated or my brain is just making it up like "Nope, too complicated"

[north flax]

That's fairly standard stuff for an api, but regardless, you probably want their EventSub service instead of the normal json api
https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/eventsub

[shadow marsh]

indeed - seems more promising to me

Homestead dropped support for Hyper-V...

[cinder spear]

do they even want developers to use it?

[unkempt hamlet]

Even funnier, it has been dropped a year ago, and I only found out today

I guess, no v12/v13 for me.

[unkempt hamlet]

https://youtu.be/eLC87aQ16Dw

[north flax]

Alright, this is pretty cool :p
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/orleans/overview

Seems like a decently well thought out implementation of that model

[opal arch]

The end of the video is pretty misleading as it is very simplified

It should be more like "pass trivial types by value" instead of "small objects". String may be considered a small object... but you probably do not want to pass that by value

[unkempt hamlet]

I mean, I was there for cats

[golden junco]

sup guys

i suggest to make ets2 better

like

to add real hands and more more

like irl

and more roads

[north flax]

This is not a suggestion box for SCS. This is a chat to discuss software development in general

[unkempt hamlet]

Real hands will be annoying, like in Snowrunner. And yes, what HumaneWolf said.

[golden junco]

ok sorry

[cinder kayak]

Someone may know, why the Website doesn't show up anything, when I try to bind the params of my prepared statement?

$statement->bind_param("ii", $new_rank, $get_id);
$statement->execute();```

When I comment out the `$statement->bind_param("ii", $new_rank, $get_id);` line, the website loads fine.

Variables 'new_rank' (value: 6) and 'get_id' (value: 1) are also set.

[unkempt hamlet]

Enable error logging via mysqli_report to see what is going on

[cinder kayak]

Well, I'm only getting this error: mysqli_sql_exception: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'rank = ? WHERE id = ?' at line 1 - But there is no error with the query

https://i.imgur.com/iS6GFtK.png - When I try-catch only the bind_param thing there's nothing working anymore

[unkempt hamlet]

In $mysqli initialisation, have you actually referenced a table?

[shadow marsh]

Don't you have to do that when establishing a connection?

Oh wait.. nvm

Now..

[cinder kayak]

Yep...

[shadow marsh]

Ugh... I'm tired

[unkempt hamlet]

I cannot see the code above, so I am asking everything.

[cinder kayak]

Other prepared Statements are working fine

It's just this bind_param

[unkempt hamlet]

var_debug the mysqli, maybe you will find something odd

[cinder kayak]

I'll try it later. Thanks CJ :3

[mossy cloud]

@cinder kayak Although shouldn't be required, try putting ` before and after the column names

[cinder kayak]

I found the error, I think
It couldn't find the coloumn just by the query thing, idk how to explain it. I had to tell them, that they have to set its specific column...

$statement = $mysqli->prepare("UPDATE users SET rank = ? WHERE id = ?");
to
$statement = $mysqli->prepare("UPDATE users SET users.rank = ? WHERE id = ?");

But thanks for the help anyways :3

[cinder spear]

rank is a reserved keyword since 8.0.2 which might impact that

[unkempt hamlet]

Makes sense

[cinder kayak]

Oh, didn't know that. Then it makes sense that it didn't work

[cinder spear]

good practice to wrap field/table names in backticks to avoid potentially getting things confused with reserved words

[violet tulip]

or use an ORM
