NPCServer updates

Admins · #1 03-31-2009, 02:25 PM

Today all servers have been restarted. Beside some bug fixes in gserver this also brings some new stuff for npcservers:

- /scripthelp now supports wild cards (*) and can combine type names and function name / description, that means you can search for stuff like /scripthelp player*hp

- added server-side support for TDrawingPanel: do temp.panel = new TDrawingPanel(), temp.panel.drawimage(0,0,"myimage.png"), temp.panel.saveimage(mynewfilename)

- improved speed

- added more stuff in /stats (shows memory usage) and admin-commands for analyzing the engine speed (so I can help better in certain cases)

Update:
- urlencode(string) - encodes urls for http GET requests (TSocket)

I used to get horrible fps lag and I've noticed it's gone. did this cause this or was it just a coincidence?

if so, definitely a big difference.

Thank you Stefan

Any chance this will fix Era's horrible fits of lag?

Admins · #6 03-31-2009, 08:01 PM

Era has sometimes lag problems because of the memory it uses.

Ah damn, I was supposed to remind you to add the global guild messages for the toguild: command before you updated the NPC Servers again

Doesn't seem like to me. The server crashes around 7:00 PM constantly, and sometimes around 2-3 PM (EST, both of the times). Doesn't matter how many players are on, or what is happening. It's happened before with less than 20 players on.

The NPC-server just stalls, and /npcshutdown takes about ten minutes, as does /npcstart.

Great updates although I believe a new editor would be more desirable

There is a daily and a weekly backup running.

If he got the level editor to support GS2.... That'd be awesome

Anyways, nice Stefan. The updates sure help some laggy servers.
