Avatar deletion server side

[Toine]

Hi!

I got one used who's abused of avatar system. I have deleted his avatar from the server (internal directory) but when the user come again i cant delete his avatar.

His avatar was reported and i have found it when the user is not connected.

Can you add a test for see if the client avatar is still online on the server and the capability to delete avatar for offline users?

Sure, you can't delete the avatar anymore. It is not on the server HDD anymore and loaded from your local cache.
You messed it up, deleting file from the drive. You can delete avatars from the clientlist under Permissions tab.

Now you should delete the user account or tell him to set a new avatar.

Why the client doesn't asks the server if the file still exists on the hard drive?

A control when connecting will avoid this kind of problem.

Otherwise I do not know this manipulation in the client list.

Thank you

This avatar is stored in your server database as a value, this value defines the file on your harddrive.
But only users, who never saw his avatar beforeneed to download it again.
Old users will load the avatar from the local hard drive to save a lot of server traffic.

You did some actions, that we do not support.

The number in your database needs to be removed or replaced now.
These are the only ways, to remove it.

Official Soloution 1 Delete his account from the clientlist and he will loose everything (permissions, icons, avatar)
Official Soloution 2 let him replace his avatar.
