Massive "has been ranked up to" spamSolved

We use a rank called "New" for just like the first hour (and have done so for years) but as of today's update we are getting spammed with this ...

{
  "Champion": {
    "Oxide Group": "Champion",
    "Playtime": 150.0
  },
  "New": {
    "Oxide Group": "New",
    "Playtime": 0.001
  },
  "Regular": {
    "Oxide Group": "Regular",
    "Playtime": 4.0
  },
  "Settings": {
    "Ignore Admins": true
  },
  "Veteran": {
    "Oxide Group": "Veteran",
    "Playtime": 60.0
  },
  "VIP": {
    "Oxide Group": "VIP",
    "Playtime": 20.0
  }
}

Having the same issue.

For my New role, i had 0.01. Changing this to 0 appears to have stopped the spam.

I figured it out, it is because oxide made groups case sensitive now.  So my player rankings was creating all of my groups again since they were lowercase in oxide.  So terrible

Not intentionally, but there appears to have been a couple checks missed. As mentioned, you can use the previous Oxide.Core build I linked else update to the development build to see if that resolves your issue.

Did you have a fix for this? Mine is doing it too for all the ranks.

Can you elaborate a bit more what you mean by this? Not sure what you mean but I'm having the same issue, a lot of people are complaining about the spam.

I think Wulf is getting this fixewd up in oxide you all.  Most likely tonight or tomorrow.  It's force wipe, expect problems and lots of additional updates.  No biggie

is there a way we can turn off the chat notification until its fixed.  I know force wipes are horrible on plugins and appreciate the dedication to keep it up and running.  Im having same issue and thought maybe if there was a way to turn off chat maybe. just a thought i just unloaded it till its fixed. ty again

So i did the update to oxide server and everything and player rankings is still spamming chat with you have been promoted.  What can i do to fix this?

So I managed to fix mine BEFORE the oxide patch today and here is how (might solve it for you now too)...

So the oxide issue was that it was suddenly requiring case sensitive oxide group names (I think Wulf fixed that today, have not been able to test yet thanks to an 8 hour force wipe "fix everything" causing me to have to work real job double today, but I have confidence he fixed it)

So when your plugin loaded it did not find the groups it was looking for (as mine did too) and recreated them itself.  So for example my plugin was configured to grant players a rank called "Regular" upon certain play time.  But the real oxide group was lowercase 'regular' so the plugin could not find that and created a new group called "Regular" to match the config capital letter of it (which never happened before because it was not case sensitive).

On my end I had to go through and just reconfigure my plugin to match the same case as the oxide groups, delete the NEW groups the plugin had mistakenly created, and I was good to go.  The plugin was finding the right groups now because I changed its config to match case with my real oxide groups.

As for YOU I would suggest unloading the plugin, deleting the newly made groups, and honestly just to be careful (won't harm anything) reconfigure your plugin to match case with your REAL oxide groups.  Again, if wulf's fix worked you wont need this but why not right?  Just in case.  Also note, be careful you don't delete the wrong groups as even the wrong groups WILL have members in them (for example it created a new "Default" group with a capital D for me and it had members now).  The way I tested  to see if I was deleting the right group was by just viewing group perms, the new error groups did not have ANY permissions since they were freshly created by the plugin. 

I deleted those erroneous groups and then reloaded my plugin and it worked fine since the config file now matched case with the correct oxide groups and there was no error spam because the error groups were now removed.  The only side issue I had was anyone online that got added to the bad "Default" group was missing their permissions since they were now not in ANY group (I deleted that bad group) but a simple reconnect put those few people back into the real 'default' group.

Hope all this helps I know it was wordy

Also, Wulf, thanks for the quick fix (hopefully) I will be installing it here in about an hour.  Sorry for not having a chance to test it for you, I had so much real life work piled up last night from the force wipe that by the time I finally got everything working right and my players were content, I went to real work and have not had a break since.  Many thanks to you though.
