Springie the AutoHost

It's a Spring error.

I can try writing 127.0.0.1 to script.txt instead, so there will be no need for resolving. But have to run some tests first to make sure it works :)

My Springie host keeps getting banned for flooding. Any settings I should set so this doesn't happen anymore? I am using version 0.99.

Hollowsoul is repeatedly complaining that the autohosts abuse the battle protocol by sending masses of unnecessary updates in the traffic they send, raising the cpu usage of the lobby greatly so much so that it has interfered with the development of Unity lobby.

I am weary of testing AFLobby with autohosts for this reason because I would have to regenerate a html panel with images and player data repeatedly in a short space of time. If hollowsoul decides to add warning messages to users that the host is abusing the protocol, I'm going to have to follow suit.

In addition to a huge map list getting a ban for flooding, there's a bug with the admin list that can do it too.

When it fails login or crashes, it will add another copy of the username that failed login to the admin list. Once the admin list gets huge, calling it will get the account banned for flooding.

My springie keeps autoupdating but the "update" it installs is a broken .exe that won't start forcing me to replace it with the .bak every time.

It also makes Springie crash arfter a match.

Is there anyway to rehost a passworded game as non-passworded using commands? If not, please add it somehow. It would be really useful.

Bit of a problem here:

I am trying to host on a DL140 Proliant (G1), but apparently springie actually needs to run ingame as well.

The problem is the server uses a very basic integrated video (RAGE XL). Upon trying to start a game, it reports that it needs GL_ARB_texture_env_combine. Is there a way around this?

Licho · Post by **Licho** » 27 Jul 2007, 00:44

Sadly no. Right now there is no way to force spring to host without initializing rendering...

Anticept · Post by **Anticept** » 27 Jul 2007, 03:32

Perhaps there is a hacky method of making the game initialize rendering through a compatibility wrapper of some kind? Sort of like an emulator?

Is there such a utility?

And is that OpenGL that it is trying to use?

What OS are you using?
Do you use RDC?

Is that 1U? I'm trying to look around on HP's site and find the specs, but you may be able to use a half height / slim PCI graphics card if that thing has a PCI slot on a riser. There's several options in the ~$50 price range on Newegg.

Oddly enough I seem to remember a while back some crazy guy submitted a patch to get Spring to work on a Rage3D or Rage Pro or some other old ATI card. He had some long story, and he was using a Rage ??? with a taped on old Pentium 1 era heatsink or something else crazy like that and he wanted Spring to work on it.

I have given up on it. I am only experimenting with the server, and I have already given 2003 the bullet and now working on Debian.

Zydox · Post by **Zydox** » 30 Jul 2007, 07:23

Well... I remember that I had some error like that in Win2003 before I raised the hardware acceleration from default none to full (as win2k / winxp comes with as default)

I have same problem as SirClickAlot.

My brother sky gets the same problem when hes in my game (on same router). I think it's Springie I'm afraid.. never had problems hosting games before with my brother and me playing.
