Springie the AutoHost

[Licho]

1.37.1 fixes compatibility with spring 0.79

[YokoZar]

Imo it will be inaccurate due to yet measured skill levels and skill fluctuations.

Such test can be easilly done on the server, springie is not needed at all..

Effectivity of its predictions is also inversly proportional to elo points distributed after each match.

Well this way we can programatically test whether elo rankings make sense even when they're confident - if games were decided by coin flips, then you'd see no evidence of higher ELO -> more real win chance

I've got some issues with modoptions.. they don't all seem to be listed:

this is the ModOptions.lua file:

Code: Select all

local options = {
  {
       key="nota",
       name="NOTA Options",
       desc="NOTA Options",
       type="section",
  },
  {
       key="spacebugs",
       name="Spacebug Options",
       desc="Spacebug Options",
       type="section",
  },
  {
    key    = "stupid",
    name   = "Stupid Shit",
    desc   = "Peewee vulcans!  Long Range DGUN cannons!  The Pyro Delivery System!",
    type   = "bool",
    section= "nota",
    def = false,
  },
  {
    key="startoptions",
    name="Game Modes",
    desc="Change the game mode",
    type="list",
    def="normal",
    section="nota",
    items={
		{key="normal", name="Normal", desc="Normal game mode"},
		{key="comstart", name="Commander and Base", desc="Start with a Base and Commander"},
		{key="koth", name="King of the Hill", desc="Control the hill for a set amount of time to win"},
		{key="spacebugs", name="Spacebugs", desc="Bugs from space!"},
    }
  },
  {
    key="hilltime",
    name="Hill control time",
    desc="Set how long a team has to control the hill for (in minutes)",
    type="number",
    def=8,
    min=3,
    max=30,
    step=1.0,
    section="nota",
  },
  {
    key    = 'mo_queentime',
    name   = 'Queen Arrival Time',
    desc   = 'In minutes. Queen will spawn after given time.',
    type   = 'number',
    def    = 45,
    min    = 1,
    max    = 100,
    step   = 1, -- quantization is aligned to the def value
    section="spacebugs",
  },
  {
    key    = 'mo_maxchicken',
    name   = 'Max. Chickens',
    desc   = 'Maximum number of chickens on map.',
    type   = 'number',
    def    = 1000,
    min    = 50,
    max    = 2000,
    step   = 50,    -- quantization is aligned to the def value
    section="spacebugs",
  },
  {
    key    = 'mo_maxburrows',
    name   = 'Max. Burrows',
    desc   = 'Maximum number of burrows on map.',
    type   = 'number',
    def    = 20,
    min    = 1,
    max    = 50,
    step   = 1, -- quantization is aligned to the def value
    section="spacebugs",
  },
}

return options

and here's springie:

Code: Select all

The only option springie seems to recognise is 'stupid' (the first one), all the rest are missing

[Licho]

Rgenerate modoptions using modoptionsbuilder..
Springies it nos using mods or maps themselves.

[momfreeek]

k thnx. had to delete previous modinfo

[Licho]

Read first post of this topic.

[Neddie]

probably incorrect path to spring unitsync.dll
put it to folder where unitsync is..

if it still does not work, juste tell me what mods it is missing and i can update it..

[zwzsg]

I prefer building the mod list myself so it doesn't list anything but http://jobjol.nl/1685

I copied an unitsync.dll from 0.80.2 into the same folder as springie and ModInfoBuilder.exe

[Licho]

You have to do it other way :)
Copy modinfobuilder and its libs where unitsync is..

Because unitsync must be in spring folder to find mods/maps.

[zwzsg]

I copied more files from Spring folder to Springie folder, and now it works. Thanks!

Hi,

I have a problem with "spring-dedicated.exe".

In fact when i launch the game, i have this windows :

Microsoft Visual C++ library

This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support for more information.

I have tried lot of version of "spring-dedicated.exe" but there is always this error.

Can you help me plz???

[Licho]

You are missing some spring libraries. Install spring first and put dedicated to its folder.

[juwl]

I have re installed Spring but there is always this error!

[Licho]

Then you have outdated dedicated server. Get latest.
