Description
Just long time not uploading a script. Hey wait, i'm still alive, i'm just start learn to be a music producer.
This Lua allows you to restore all of your stats, position, weapons, and addtional script-specific stats data when you reconnect from connection problems.

Features
Restores weapon and ammo(uses MikuAuahDark: Log Capture v1.0 (2))
Delete saved data after x seconds(configurable, uses Timer Extra function(timerEx) v4.0 (12))
You also can use [ADMN, DEV] Permissions - WIP (13) if you want.
Should compatible with another scripts(also you can save script-specific data, example: your saved position in blocker's roleplay lua)

Installation
Install it as usual(see download page)

Configuration
Recs.Permissions - Use VADemon's permissions(default false). The permission is reconnect.restore
Recs.IPMatch - Match only x sequence of IP(default 3). If you only expect static-ip only, set to 4
Recs.Timeout - Delete saved player data after x seconds(default 60)
Recs.AddtionalData - List of table reference that retrieved when timeout(another script-specific table should be here. Just put the table name without quotes)

Reserved Variables
Recs
timerEx*
freetimerEx*
LogCapture*
* - Doesn't re-allocated when already exists

Useful Info
223 lines of code
You can add your addtional data with table.insert(Recs.AddtionalData,<your data table name without quotes>)(key is player id)
Uses 3 hooks( log, leave, join)
It only save player data when leave reason is 1 or 9

Notes
1. Again, again, and again. Your feedbacks, bug reports on comments.
2. This is my first lua which uses UNIX End-Of-Line system.
3. I just test some parts of it. Like, it's basic feature.
4. Sometimes it doesn't set your weapon to your last-used weapon
5. Because bug in v1.0, you can update to v1.1 by replacing line 174 with this

I'm sure that screenshot doesn't needed

10/10

1 of the Awefull lua

Itihink this simple but good

Its pretty much useful, it really deserves a like.

@ VADemon: Ok, i'm gonna add it later. Now i'm focus at music(learn to make music).

MikuAuahDark in case when there's another building - simply do not restore.

@ VADemon: well, restoring someone building can cause undefined berhaviour when someone also building at same position

A nice script for RPGs.
I thought a bit about construction servers: they tend to run for hours without restarts, but when a player leaves mp_killbuildings allows buildings to remain. How about restoring these? (Only when the buildings were not destroyed or rebuilt)

When I was reading the title.. I tought it was going to fix the issue with the /reconnect fix. But it's useful.

@ Hellcat:
Pointless. If you want to learn how this works open the lua and simply read it. Screenshots wont help as its not supposed to be visible. Its a auto stat saving system. Means if you lag out of the game and reconnect you will just continue where you stoped before.

Restore money, level, after reconnect. Good description.

@ Yates: What does i mean stats is health, armor, maxhealth, and money. Please note that it doesn't save score and deaths because it would lead to problems in stats file.
Also what i mean script-specific stats data is a data that only another script have(example, worldedit selection). It only saved when a player getting connections problems(timeout)

Yates: Screenshots for to learn better

@ Hellcat: Nope:

The only thing this needs is a cleaner description. I can't stand reading this.

Yes, Screenshoot needed.
