Spring RTS Engine

It's not SPADS which is doing that but Spring server (cf this).

From a autohost named "Spads": 20190218153434 - DEBUG - [SpringLobbyInterface] Sending to lobby server: "BRIDGECLIENTFROM spads testId testName" 20190218153434 - DEBUG - [SpringLobbyInterface] Received from lobby server: "FAILED msg=You cannot bridge a location named after a...

So this means autohosts without bot flag can't use the bridge interface for in-game players ?

No, not necessarily. Especially since accounts dedicated to replay uploading might be automatically deleted if they aren't actually used to login in lobby server (cf this).

Which account do you use to upload replays, the autohost's one or an account dedicated to replay uploading ?

I will try to write a longer tutorial on how to set up a spads (its very easy once you figure few things out) later on. Im posting here some of my confs so others dont have to struggle as much as i had to to make !nbteams work Thanks ! These configs are broken in many ways but work for !ffa command...

Here are two diagrams to help autohost administrators understand how SPADS settings and presets are organized in the 3 main configuration files: spads.conf, hostingPresets.conf and battlePresets.conf. It is important to understand these 3 files contain different settings, you can't move settings fro...

Hmm.. that got me a bit confused since you mentioned "it can't be a bad thing to add support for new skill estimations algorithms in SPADS". Now, if I got that right a SPADS plugin wouldn't be enough, a patch in SLDB to optionally (set per mod) use a TrueSkill2 python module would be requ...

Hey guys, I'm considering the development of a new plugin for SPADS replacing the (now obsolete) TrueSkill by the new TrueSkill 2 calculation. Given it's an official MS thing, I just thought that maybe it should be an update (or option?) to SPADS itself, instead of a plugin. What do you think? I th...

There is a SPADS subforum where you can find this information, here for example.

Oups, forgot to initialize partitions for the new year...
Should be fixed now (data were still collected and have just been processed retroactively so not a big deal...).

It seems you have 3 different problems in your autohosts configuration: You have the same logDir absolute path configured for all your autohost instances, which means all these instances will write in the same log files. Your autohost instances have the autoUpdateRelease setting configured to differ...

The hStats subroutine doesn't use answer() because it would be too easy to flood the battleroom with a few !stats commands (so that the antiflood protection wouldn't be effective). Basically only commands which generate small output use answer(). The easiest way to do what you want is indeed to crea...

Data shown on the replay site aren't consistent with what is stored in SLDB (wrong winning team etc.), maybe there is a connection problem between the two ? Concerning recalculation of TS data, the duration varies a lot because SLDB will only recompute necessary data. It usually takes a few minutes ...

In case it might be useful to adjust rank conditions:

PSA: Atm it is impossible to get the 32bit version of activeperl (Which is what I've always used) from the ActiveState site. I don't know if it will stay like that, but in case anyone is worried, strawberry seems to work 100% perfectly. Indeed, ActivePerl download page seems to be missing 32bit ver...

Did you find the cause of your problem ? What is the value of your autoStop setting ? As abma said, something is sending the "kill" command to spring-dedicated. For example this can be SPADS itself due to autoStop configuration, or someone using the !send command to send it manually throug...

my reasoning is to control the output text when switching map, so i can stack multiple actions with output text that better describes what actions have been performed What type of actions? If the actions only consist in changing some global/hosting/battle settings, then you can already do all that ...

It seems to be the same problem as in this topic.

I guess you need to use either a more recent version of BA or an older version of the engine.

however it would be useful if you know a way to switch map without using 'executeCommand' similar to how 'applyPreset($ReqPreset);' switches preset directly. Why do you want to switch map without using "executeCommand" ? There are multiple answers to your question, depending on the parts ...
