description: I've been editing Reborns old vet system and trying to learn from it at the same time, It compiles fine but it now crashes my server when it's on. What I'm trying to get it to do is like MW2 does when you start you have 0 rank points you play and rank up till you get to GA then you can reset it and do it all over again. So I'm trying to make it like that in ren so you keep your vet points instead of it resetting every map, or when you leave and rejoin, So it's like a Rank system really cause all the players will be ranking up and getting weapons and health and armor, and instead of loosing it when the next map comes or when you leave and rejoin, it will stay so if you play one day and get to 2 1st class, and then you don't play for 2 days, and you get back on, you will still be 2 1st class, and still have all your weapons and health and armor upgrades. ;p Here's what it say's when it Crashes.

description: Your code is of very poor quality, do a total rewrite and start with figuring out how to store and retrieve data in a database, then figure out how to use a hash table, then assigning vet points to a player, then how to have actions give out vet points, then how to give a player a rank, then the vet-related commands and than giving promoted players goodies. Be sure to add debugging console output to every function so you have a tight understanding of what your code is actually doing in any part of its execution. After you'e got your database code working you can pretty much use this veteran system plugin as base: http://www.renegadeforums.com/index.php?t=msg&goto=463595&rid=25967& srch=veteran+system#msg_463595

description: Having it set up the way that you describe is a bad idea. It's totally unfair for newly joined players to your server.

Yes But make it so the players keep there weapons, until they use a command like !resetrank or w/e, then they loose all there weapons and health armor, and have to regain it back.

Famas and UMP were the best guns in the game and they were unlocked right of the bat, (ACR gets unlocked later) and even if you were one of those quickscope fags you had the Intervention and 50 cal off the bat as well.

I sucked the first two levels then I owned everyone, and everyone sucks at one point and time, and beside I reset my rank 10 times, by that time I sold my 360 and all my games to come back to the pc. It's not really hard to be good at MW2 all you do is point and shoot there is not tatics to it, run like a n00b then you shoot like a n00b and you get a kill. NO BRAIN POWER AT ALL. Now get back on topic, even though it's dead.
