Ways to Check and Prevent Pulling Unnecessary Data From StartGG

[TentaRJ]

Maybe a system that checks to see if an instance of that player is in the user_data\local_players.csv, and if so, use those preferred pronouns and country flag code.

Example: I have a player with a different preferred flag than the location flag from their StartGG location data. When loading the StartGG set, the program will always grab the user's location flag, even if their user profile is already saved into the user_data\local_players.csv. Having a toggle to say "Use Saved User Data" when loading a user from StartGG would be useful. Perhaps for this, tracking the StartGG user ID on the CSV may be needed in order to confirm that they are the same player.

Found it frustrating using the Load set from tournament button and it loads the player without their preferred flag set in the CSV. imo would be a good change, and I bet I could work on it, but I don't know where to start in the files.

Here's a list of what I would do:

• Pull the player's StartGG User ID and save that to the CSV as well
• When loading a set, check to see if the player exists in the CSV
• If they exist, load their preferred data (Tag, Name, Flag, Pronoun, etc.)
• If they don't, use StartGG's pulled data

Noting this down before I forget about it, why don't we swap the CSV file for a more standard JSON file?

There's a checkbox in settings called something like "Don't override local_players.csv" that does basically this

It doesn't???

I mean I've tried it but it doesn't work. It doesn't check to see if that user already exists in the CSV. It just pulls the user data from startgg. So it doesn't load user-saved data from the csv when loading a new set.

Maybe I am missing something, idk, TSH is bugging out for me and sometimes doesn't show the additional non-country flags sometimes???

It's possible that it's been broken through future regression, but it definitely worked at some point

Regarding the non-country flags, we've had a fix pending for weeks, which you can get by downloading the beta version here
