I don´t know excitably when this happen, we have run heads plus for years and only be real problem when update to v7.

This being opened reminded me that I actually moved my own server data onto a test server to check the update from 1.16 to 1.18, and noticed a lot of errors that most likely contributed to this. I'll see if I can try using bulk updates instead.

Whilst I believe I've been able to fix the majority of issues caused in the transition, I've not been able to fully verify this and will need more time to check this since I've noticed some data being skipped.

Interesting to see if you can get the plugin to read the damage json file or if it works to fix it manually.

I quite honestly don't remember the downfalls of this... I think it works best if the data.db file is reset prior so data isn't duplicated. I must admit there was a lot of consideration I took into account when repairing this since I should've tested a large dataset before v7 was released, and that's on me, I apologise about that. I considered adding the transition data onto existing data, but then that would result in data being transferred prior being doubled, and I'd say that's a lot worse than just letting the original data take over.

The most recent dev build should address the majority of transition problems as I mentioned, still not 100% on it but there's a significant improvement.

There was a recent update to this where I fixed another portion of the transition issues, can I ask if 7.0.5 performs any better?

I not try it out yet. But can do it now. But I guess the data some are gone now will not be fixed if I understand your last message right?

Resetting data may work best was the main message, apologies if it wasn't clear - I didn't make the backup data add onto the new data due to the risk of duplication if player A's (for example) data was restored successfully beforehand.

Alright, will be little work because we use MySQL and I´m not soo good on the commands to remove x players data from the webb browser or restore only one table/database.

But will see if I can fix it manually instead for try remove data and it not restore data as it should (is at least easier an hope head plus fix it).

Have still found some issues with the transfer tool, will dig a bit deeper to see what's wrong.

Hi sorry I not update you I only test new version on test server. But I didn't know how to restore older db I can't test transfer tool properly.

But the version seams to work but not have time to test every thing.

It's fine, I'm working on updating a server internally at my job and it uses HeadsPlus, but when I noticed the issues that arose from trying to update it, I figured it's not quite done. Once I yield better results from this dataset I have I think we'll be more in the clear.

important update

There's definitely still something lurking though, even if the plugin just started suddenly working for reasons beyond me.

Yeah I recognize this behavior. When something start working for no reason and later understand way (some cases you don't get way it works) :)
