Census server data

[Sethzer]

That is a crapload of Undead, can you tell that Horde love to PvP?

All them vurtnes, kishkumens and grims


Remember in end of 2005 when people were asking for population and people responded: 30% alliance, 30% horde, 40% undead rogues.

Anybody know, why Census is not correctly counting all the players online?
Can't tell me there's only like 500 players at prime time.

Had the same problem on a different server, but couldnt figure it out.

it is because of the /who command. It only shows max. 49 people even if there are (much) more like in the lvl 20-40 ranges now. Turn the 'verbose mode' on in census and you will see what it is doing right now and you will see, that in most searches, there are only 49 ppl being processed.

I tried it with manual searches filtering (/who 20 rogue i.e.) but it was as well not functioning well AND you would have to type everything in by yourself (or do a script or what ever).

Would like to know if there is some modification, command or whatever to do this automatically.

posted this yesterday in another thread

Census running since release - Autoscan every 5 minutes
/played 8d 16 hours - average scan since a few days: 300-600 characters seen 0-5 new

I've seen it but the problem is, many of those (low level) players do not even play anymore.

You could try to delete inactive characters with '/census prune 14' (deletes data for 14 days or older)

And still, we have come to a point where more than 49 lvl 60 characters are online and in a few weeks, there will be much more. Sure, you will get most of them over time, but maybe not everyone with the bugged /who command.

Census does normally divide the /who into smaller level brackets if there are more than 49 people, but it does not on this server because of the /who command not properly working as far as i know.

i just did a /census prune 14 and it deleted 500 characters ... i'm kinda speechless right now.

Hey guys,

I was able to come up with a way to fix the census addon given the server's buggy who command.

Here is the change I made to the CensusPlus.lua

REPLACE: if (numWhoResults > MAX_WHO_RESULTS) then
WITH: if (numWhoResults == MAX_WHO_RESULTS) then

The way the server works now, numWhoResults will return 49 even if there are 100 results. By forcing it to break down the 49 results, it should get everyone on the server with each pull.

nice, will test it, thanks!

Ya well, 14 days is kinda a lot for a fresh server like this, but only 500 characters seems still pretty low.
