Springie the AutoHost

[Licho]

You cannot rely on that can you? Also this is not stored in downloader system.
Downloader has just the name and hash.

As a side note, do all torrents have http mirrors in them or only a select few?

[Licho]

None of them have mirrors "in them".
System searches for mirrors on demand on all spring-related sites except on jobjol (on jj's request).
When clients notify system that they need a file it orders other clients to seed it and sends http mirror list to user that requested them.

[AF]

so can I assume every torrent has an associated http mirror list? Or can I expect some torrents not to have an associated list at all?

AutoUpdateMod: Complete Annihilation test

3052 is latest but its still on 3051, even after rehost + restart

Posts.. enter "Complete Annihilation test-"

AF:
You cant expect anything. Not all torrents have mirrors. Some are not stored on any site so they have no mirrors.

[Posts]

still not working
edit: and 30 min later "Updating to latest mod version: Complete Annihilation test-3052"

also, some fun i'm having: added channel listeners to the setlevel command, put all 4 bots into #springie, i can issue global set levels without the copy+paste

bug: often right clicking on a tab will close the wrong one, no matter how careful i am, even when i select it with left click and then right click it.

Licho,

so here's what I've done.

I've taken the configs from my old springie and included it with the latest version of springie as per download. 1.33b downloaded as an autoupdate. I take the latest SVN build spring dedicated, which I built as of this morning 0.77b5 (R6844) from #buildserv, http://planetspring.free.fr/spring/dedicated/ Put both of those into one directory. I used BuildModInfo.exe tool to rebuild my modinfo and mapinfo dat files from my local install.

The result is that when I login to that server - I get the message "Your mod differs from the host's one." Me and everyone else who joins is desynced.

Again, all the files except configs are the latest versions. What am I doing wrong?

I have tried to use your modinfo.dat and I get the same problem. Is this a problem with spring-dedicated? Lurker's spring dedicated is older. I tried the new spring dedicated with a complete spring install & springie 1.20 and it works fine.

I tried the same thing with 1.33b & a complete spring install and it's still a no go.

What do you think I am doing wrong?

Here is my springie folder:

It has nothing to do with springie or modinfo..
All are correct

Its just because someone registered BA6.5 with outdated spring version..

See threads about downloader, register your mods or in development about need to change hashes.

There is no simple way to fix it, until spring switches to new checksums..

These are files registered in downloader http://tracker.caspring.org/torrents.txt

You will notice several BA 6.5 with different hashes - autohost does not know which one is valid and uses latest..

To fix it either
1) code simple php administration that would read this file, show you duplicates and delete torrent files from disk on demand.

2) disconnect your autohosts from downloader system (set tracker addresses to localhost for example). This will force it to use only mapinfo a modinfo.dat and not update this from downloader.

licho: maybe attach unitsync spring version to the hash and mark hashes from old versions invalid if they differ?

[Licho]

Too complex to change protocol now - besides springdownloader and springlobby would have to be changed to send unitsync version..

Its better to just change hashes to archivehash.

I get the same problem now with the map... DSD. Same hash problem?

Downloader downloaded it... and still. Fail.

[Licho]

Yes, same problem..
generate new mapinfo/modinfo and disconnect from p2p system..

Yes, same problem..
generate new mapinfo/modinfo and disconnect from p2p system..

On the machine I generate the mapinfo/modinfo I do not use downloader... I have two machines. One I use for springie, and another I use as a client. My client machine is somewhat unstable and I have a lot of stuff open at a time, so I don't trust that for hosting. For my hosting machine I have it nicely cleaned up, minimalist for just server stuff - ideally I will swap over to linux, but right now using windows is working because my GF uses the machine from time to time.

===============================
SPRINGIE 1.34
===============================
* workaround for tasclient not using default modoptions (they are sent after opening battle now)
* hardcoded options removed
* fix for springie not hosting latest version of mod on startup


Note the workaround for tasclient should fix desync issues.

[Auswaschbar]

When upgrading, also update the server itself http://spring.clan-sy.com/phpbb/viewtop ... =1&t=16608

I think there should be an option to make a list of Maps that cannot be switched to on the Autohost. Since you are using this map- and modinfo.date file that automatically updates with all new maps and mods you cant limit the maps that are playable.
It is much easier to say "map1, map3 and map8 are not allowed" than limit to all maps but map1, map3 and map8.

[Licho]

There are already options to limit maps and mods..
Check configuration settings.
