Question Balancing the books

[rootsxrocks]

I have got some severe imbalance in the credit system that I need to balance.
I use Vbookie and gameroom and have v3arcade installed. and I have had credits installed since Aug 2009 Dark helped me with the upgrade to Deluxe, I had the v3 integration and it didn't work and I couldn't remove it.

When we moved to the next version our credits carried over but somewhere over the last 7 months it has gotten out of what and recently I did something that made 2 users super wealthy yet didn't affect others who fit a similar profile.

I want to re balance the system and then issue a starting balance based on some formula of rep post ect.....

So after moving my site to a knew host I have the old version still and have got it locked but working on an alt url to be the guinea pig for my Experiments.
after taking down a copy of the balances for 320 users. I reset all the users to [currency]0 without selecting recalculate nor prune

What I end up with is several users that have a balance of 0.00 some with 0 and others with -0.00 on the member list with no apearent pattern. However on the mass update users page I have users with negitive amounts and positive amountd of displaying like this -7.27595761418343e-11 and 2.55795384873636e-13 I tried rerunning the mass update with [currency]=0 and it doesn't appear to update . leaving the expotential numbers. and me user 1 with 130020.700244479 Can you help me to Zero and recalculate.
I did have vbookie set to the vbcredit setting for a while before I changed it as per instructions to custom.

Are you using the latest v2.0.0 of vbcredits? v3arcade, vbookie, and gameroom transactions will not be retained by vbcredits when you recalculate, as they arent using the api to trigger events. if you want to start clean, best to open advanced options and select no actions, ignore the dates, recalc no, prune yes, reverse no, any time and action both yes, 0 for all of your formulas, and yes to process all pages of users. that should completely flush the system.

I am using the latest Pro version of all of these, I will go give those instructions a try. Does this mean that the transactions that follow from those apps will not be included in the total credits ? I would like to track the total number of credits held by users and use it to adjust the economy index. It would also be nice if the Bank could have a balance of either debt or reserve were moneys lost in the games or taxes was paid into. So far I really like the latest version. I did have an issue yesterday that only one of the football bets paid out even though PM notices were sent but thats the least of my problems I think I entered some strange formula that increased a few users to millions and others it didn't seem to affect at all.

Those amounts are definitely taken into effect during normal course of use, but I mean when you flush the system and recalculate from the past, currencies affected by those addons wont be detected, so the system will assume they did nothing.

There is no system account, however if you use the transaction manager you can generate some graphs and totals grouped in various ways to assess your economy
