Buglist 17Buddies

Below is a list of bugs I’ve come across while using 17Buddies.
I will continue to add once I come across new ones.

  1. China is displayed twice in the countries list of authors.

  2. After double-clicking on a shoutbox message to edit it, all capital letters are reversed to non-capital + when someone has pressed enter to start a new line, this gets deleted.

  3. Inside the top authors list, when a country is unknown it’s being displayed as “Unknow” ( “n” missing at the end ).

  4. The filter in search options does not work properly. When for example setting the filter to author name still displays maps that have that word inside the mapname, rather than only the author field.

  5. The automatic slots counter is not always correct. I’ve experienced maps that have different number of slots than what is displayed. As far as I know the number can’t be changed by anyone manually, right?

  6. Did you ( Arkshine ) not change the ability for regular users to be able to use “Edit” of their uploads? Some user has been complaining he can’t. Post ( #5 ) can be found here.

  7. “Sent Items” folder remains empty no matter how many PM’s you’ve sent.

  1. Clicking the preview button of any file that can be previewed, located in the list “Files:” under SUMMARY adds 1 downloaded map to the user profile. This can only be done once per map and per login.
    I’ll give a short example: a map has a txt-file and 6 skybox files. Clicking and then previewing either one of those adds 1 to the user’s “downloaded maps” counter.
    Clicking on a different file within’ the same map will not trigger it again unless the user logs out/in again but I can be wrong about it.
    So basically the site treats a preview as a downloaded map.

  2. The preview function sometimes bugs out with tga-files. This map is an example. But there are MANY more.
    P.s.: The skyboxes themselves are fine ( both in-game and when being opened with software after downloading ), it’s just the preview that sometimes gives these distorted images.

I’ve already posted this on the main forum, but dunno if anybody seen it > https://forum.17buddies.rocks/index.php?showtopic=14797

  1. All .WAD files uploaded after 09-06-2017, contain ‘.’ at the end of their title.
    URL also contains extra ‘.’
https://www.17buddies.rocks/17b2/View/Wad/8879/de_arctic..wad.html

This also effects .res file, created with 17buddies php script.
de_arctic.wad is commented out, even though .wad is present inside the archive & on website
https://www.17buddies.rocks/17b2/View/Map/1…/de_arctic.html

All other commented files are also in the archive.

Sorry for the late answer. Thanks for reporting!
