Please join me in thanking jrgp for his hard work over the past few days. We now have a new lobby server which appears much more stable, efficient, and bug-free compared to the ones that have been running since 1.4.0 was released.

In order to address other issues with MM's server, I wanted to upgrade the version of Ubuntu on it. In order to do that, I need to stop using vmware server 1.0.x, but the current lobby server ran inside a virtual machine on that. jrgp offered to rewrite the lobby server and he has done it in a few days. It uses the same protocol enesce and I came up with for 1.4.0, and he based it off of my existing code for the lobby, but with some improvements I've been meaning to incorporate.

Great job jrgp, this will be a big help.

In other news, these people need to fix their servers:
Ignoring server with invalid port: server [!PKS CSSC Tournament #1] (88.198.25.26:83001)
Ignoring server with invalid port: server [HOME OF THE RAGE] (204.80.93.33:75000)
Ignoring server with invalid port: server [(WM)Wracko's Sniper Box] (85.214.158.14:85214)
Ignoring server with invalid port: server [(WM)CW server ::] (204.80.93.33:99999)
Ignoring server with invalid port: server [#Soldat.Fr Gather] (88.198.25.26:76567)
Ignoring server with invalid port: server [!PKS CSSC Tournament #2] (88.198.25.26:93001)

You can't have a port over 65535. The soldat server should be updated to refuse to stat when a too-high port is specified.

[03:38] <Boblekonvolutt> Hey, you fixed the ports
[03:39] <Boblekonvolutt> after I whined at that
[03:39] <Boblekonvolutt> the system works

Thanks jrgp, many of us very much appreciate your hard work.

Relating to the port issue. Maybe the Soldat server shouldn't be able to start up with invalid ports (as it does with already 'binded' ports, for lack of a better word).

You're welcome, guys. I really, really enjoy the Soldat work I do.

If anyone notices anything unusual with the new lobby, please tell us in this thread.

What about iptocountry database? I think it was a very old db and updating it was very hard as you said.

FliesLikeABrick · « **Reply #6 on:** January 29, 2011, 09:54:03 pm »

The vmware he mentioned is the program vmware running under ubuntu which hosts the virtual machine the lobby used. It isn't a vm inside of a vm.....dawg.

Dunno if I spotted the bug or it should be like this but it displays mapnames of some servers with some random numbers in end. (Look like addresses)

That isn't going to happen again.

I think it may have frozen somehow. I just restarted it and it seems fine. I'm going to obviously be investigating things.

I do apologize for missing the small piece of text when reading (common simple mistake), but the name calling was uncalled for.

I figured I would let everybody know that the weapon mod filtering bug is already known of:

Quote from: jrgp

<jrgp> for those who remember the lobby discussion earlier, the WM filtering thing is a bug in the soldatserver and acts exactly the same way in the previous lobby

Did you read the quoted part of my previous message?.. That one where I was talking about server crashing caused by lobby errors.

FreeBSD 8.2-PRERELEASE - is the OS version used on the server where those soldat servers are hosting.

jrgp · « **Reply #18 on:** January 30, 2011, 11:14:44 am »

You're running the linux version of the soldatserver under freebsd? I tried that two years ago and it didn't work well.

The lobby should be fine now.

jrgp · « **Reply #19 on:** January 31, 2011, 09:37:26 am »

Just added some minor new functionality (that will essentially only have effect on third party apps which request the server list) to the lobby server: in the request string, if you specify 0 for the version, instead of, say, 50, you'll get servers of any version instead of just 1.5.0.
