API Roster missmatches

[AuntLou]

Originally talked about his issues in this thread: http://www.planetside-universe.com/s...ad.php?t=53056

Basically we have members showing up on the API(via PSU) but not showing up in game.

Current list is:
BhigD36
Channing
CrossdressingPRV
Jax123
Jigsaw717
KurosawaSP
roych
Tonsixers
VilyanKVere


You guys(Gryph/Hamma) want me to start a ticket on this or do you have someone you have been in direct contact with that will actually utilize this info??? let me know!

[Hamma]

Curious if this is the case in the new data location.

[AuntLou]

It's been an issue for a long time.

Good thing I looked! It's the same exact players. Sooooo how the hell do I get them off my roster on the API????

[AuntLou]

Started a thread on the forums. We'll see if I can get some help.

I also have empty users in my roster, only an id and no other data provided

Ok so I've been emailing the data feedback guys and they have come to the conclusion that players who delete their accounts are not removed and still show up in your outfit. They are tossing my other mumbojumbo that I don't even understand like:
"
Ps2-beta does not deal well with deleted characters. Ps2 does it better. It will not return a character from the /get/ps2/character call if it has been deleted. As Morgan pointed out, unfortunately the game does not delete outfit_member records when a character is deleted. You can get around this be resolving from the outfit_member collection to the character collection:

Do a query like this:

https://census.soe.com/s:soe/json/ge...l,member_since

The characters who have been deleted will not resolve:

This guy is not deleted since his name resolved.
{

"id": "37509488620608321",
"character": {
"name": {
"first": "Louey"
}
},
"character_id": "5428010618036225057",
"member_since": "1353447527",
"member_since_date": "2012-11-20 21:38:47.0",
"rank": "Leader",
"rank_ordinal": "1"

},

This guy is deleted (no name resolved).
{

"id": "37509488620608321",
"character_id": "5428010618035764881",
"member_since": "1353448065",
"member_since_date": "2012-11-20 21:47:45.0",
"rank": "Member",
"rank_ordinal": "5"

},"

So yeah Hamma can I just forward this email to you for you to make sense of it(if yes whats your email)?

[Saladin]

You should come to the IRC... and this does make sense as far was what you had put in there..

as the outfit may still have that member listed as they deleted themselves from the game but did not take themselves out of outfit first so there is a residual deleted person that will be in the database which well be there just because there deleting char is not completely remove them from everything

SIDE NOTE: when using the API I would use ps2:v1 that way on updates you can check to make sure coding is not broken with a new update they put out of API
