== Improperly formed JSON float_values for decal attributes - still not resolved ==

http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Talk:WebAPI/Feedback/Archive_3 has the previous thread. I'm still receiving the improperly formed JSON :( Just FYI - thanks! [[User:VMDX|VMDX]] 14:37, 21 November 2011 (PST)
: Alright I've been on the lookout for this regression on my own logs for optf2 and asking around. I cannot find any reproductions.

== Painted items ==

I noticed that the steam community inventory viewer has images with paints embedded in them. Would it be possible for the backpack items to include the encoded URL for the image with paint.

== custom texture lo - Invalid JSON ==

I had another talk with Drunken. This is the relevant part of his response on the matter. I'll be giving a language-independent workaround in a while if time permits.
<pre>
1:34 PM - Drunken F00l: I know why it's printing bad values, yes
1:34 PM - Drunken F00l: it's just truncating
1:35 PM - Drunken F00l: I'll get it fixed but the fix probably won't ship until next week

: Here is a temporary workaround for the problem, as promised. This call is for python's re module but should be similarly easy to modify as needed for basically any regex implementation out there. What the expression is doing is searching for a line with 0 or more characters of whitespace at the beginning, followed by the normal float_value key and then an arbitrary length integer followed by a decimal point and non-decimal character. The part of the string preceding the decimal point is captured and reinserted into a string suffixed with '.0'. I hope you find it useful. <code>re.sub('(\s*"float_value": -?\d+)\.[^\d]', '\\1.0', obj)</code> -- [[User:Lagg|Lagg]] [[File:Backpack_Stickybomb_Launcher.png|24px|link=User_talk:Lagg]] 21:08, 23 April 2012 (PDT)

:: Fixed a small bit of the regexp. I'll let my commit message describe what the change was since it does it best: Because apparently I thought that the bug was choosy about what side of a 0 it appears on. -- [[User:Lagg|Lagg]] [[File:Backpack_Stickybomb_Launcher.png|24px|link=User_talk:Lagg]] 08:48, 24 April 2012 (PDT)

== Item Origin ==

Item origin is buggy and/or incorrect. For example, many Bill's Hats are showing as timed drop. This was a promotional item and should be marked as such. There is also an origin flag "traded", but it's not clear when that attribute is used: Traded items usually do not acquire the origin to be set as "traded". For example, store purchased keys will keep their store purchased after being traded. My suggestion would be to make the item origin cumulative. If an item was purchased, then traded, it should be possible to tell what the original origin was, as well as the current origin. This way, we can tell in a user's inventory if the item has ever been traded, or if he is the original owner.

: Hmm, I've known about this error for some time now but it looks like I misjudged where it actually was, and thought that it was fixed in optf2 for quite a long time, as did Athernar. This also happens with some english names that have certain non-ASCII characters in them if I recall correctly. So stuff that does strict encoding will fail on it. Well, at least now that '''FAILED''' for optf2 can be turned into '''SUCCESS'''. Thanks for providing me a real reproduction. -- [[User:Lagg|Lagg]] [[File:Backpack_Stickybomb_Launcher.png|24px|link=User_talk:Lagg]] 15:48, 27 May 2012 (PDT)
