ATTENTION SERVERS - DOUBLE OGRO FIX

by eihrul on 01/12/2004 05:48, 35 messages, last message: 04/14/2004 13:44, 10703 views, last view: 05/17/2024 12:55

I have made up some experimental servers that I *THINK* will fix the double ogro problem. These are protocol compatible with the current release.

I urge all current servers that are experiencing ogro duplication problems to try the following binaries out (for freebsd or linux):

http://tunes.org/~eihrul/freebsd_server
http://tunes.org/~eihrul/linux_server

Anybody running these experimental servers, please announce you are doing so and what IP/name you are, as I would also like players to ascertain whether they subsequently experience double ogro problems on said servers, and post results here!

is there an easy way I can set those permissions from windows?

Yes there will be a new release, but only once I have sorted out any other bugs with this release. The most vital (hah!) one being the invincibility bug. Haven't heard any reports of that lately, is it still happening, or did it go away with the enet fix? ;)

Yes feel free to hijack this thread for the purpose of discussing urgent fixes that need to go into this release. Feature requests still go elsewhere.

#12: invincibility bug

by pushplay on 01/19/2004 04:46

I know that it seems like wishful thinking, but I've looked through all the logic related to damage myself and I can't find anything wrong with it. The problem is probably in enet and it's not inconceivable that it's already fixed. The problem is that it never was a common bug and you may never know for sure. ;)

well I hope that fixed it, but I hate these kinds of potential bugs floating around. If anyone experiences this bug again, let me know asap, and remember which server it happened on (patched or not?) what gameplay mode, etc.

If by permanent you mean someone like me that leaves one running 24/7 aside from rare reboots...then yes. And it would be nice to not worry about it when browsing the server list for a game.

I've taken mine down for the time being...as this bug shows up way too much.

>I've taken mine down for the time being

I wish more would do this if they're not going to fix it. MOST of the ones appearing in the browser are bad, I even see people playing and get on and can't play. Possibly aggravated by modem.
Bad servers I've found so far (partial names):
tiggerswelt.net
supports.game-monster.de
ny-dunkirk...adelphia.net
cindy.coldmoon (ping champ)
dak0r.de
66.214.199.???
Different cube protocol:
flits.rug.nl
scott.blazing.de

its a pity, but some asking around and digging the info-zip and power-archiver sites did not result in finding any windows apps, that support setting unix permissions in zip archives. also remembrance of the horror that hit me then starts to slowly fade.

that's inconvenient. If me or eihrul thinks of it next release, I will send him the whole archive which he can then repackage.

The more annoying feature is that afflicted servers are stuck in "coop edit" mode and show too many players in the server browser. Very annoying when hunting for a game.
