ok let me try again we are playing on lan and i have it to save xp to ip
it lets me save
but not my friends
i tried leaving it on save to steam id but since we have the same steam id we all use the same guys
we dont want that
we want for it to save individually

Hello, Crimsonslayor:

MySQL or
vault.ini? If
vault check it to see if the first field of the XP line starts with a IP number, if
MySQL check the
playerid column for the same. If you have mixed entried delete them all and start over fresh, both in
MySQL or
vault (whichever you have).

Better do it by name, unless everybody always plays from the same IP.

Well, yes of course... unless you set up a
password...

ok for some reason in vault.ini all of the things in there are steam_id_lan but that doesnt make sense because it saves for me by ip and my ip isnt in there
should i delte all of it and rerun it with them?

Delete the
vault.ini file and start fresh. If it still keeps saving by STEAM ID, your configuration is messed up.

when i delete it will it be recreated by itself or do i have to make another vault.ini?

Check the contents of the vault.ini file, if it isn't anything in it or it still saves by STEAM ID, I'll bet you have a misconfiguration somewhere.

This is the resulting file
after you deleted it?
Just humor me and try it one more time. And remember to delete it again, with the game server stoped of course (you did that, right?).
Also post your server's
full log until your budy logs in and gets ready to play (if you think it will be too big, compress it and attach it).

Turn the server off....

change mp_saveby to save by the user's IP
