names are not updating

[UnknownPlayer13]

i noticed that the names are not updating. The bot still displays the playernames from when i deployed the bot.
So lets say my ingame name is "test1" and the bot is getting deployed after that when i change my name to "Testdone1" it will always display the "test1" name in the leaderboard, even after 12 hours and even if i would deploy the bot again its the same result.

I've adjusted the automatic caching to be handled by our own client instead of the cftools-sdk caching in this pull request, but it looks like the unique identifier for the leaderboard data is actually survivor names - during my testing with name changing a new data entry for the new, renamed name will be created instead of overwriting the data that belonged to the previous name. Therefor, this isn't actually a bug with this bot, but an expected result from the CFTools Cloud API, an result that we, the bot, do not currently have any control over.

I've changed the labels to help wanted and question, because I'm not completely sure this is something we don't have complete control over.

If anyone wants to do some debugging, change the DEBUG_LEADERBOARD_API_DATA variable in config/.env to true, restart the bot, use the leaderboard command, re-name in client server parameters, suicide in-game, use the leaderboard command again and compare the DEBUG tables displayed in the console.

I might do some more research later, but for now, this is on hold

Pull request will go through, but it's unrelated to this issue.

I've now looked into it, when a player renames using client parameters, the API creates a new data object for that player name instead of overwriting the old one. Therefor this is indeed not related to this specific application, but more a problem, or expected result, with the CFTools Cloud API. Closing this as there's nothing to be done about this on our side
