    Hey Andrew :)

    Quick question. I noticed there's a winner in the latest round of inter-bbs GD

    How is it that you have someone with a lower score being awarded the winner status? I probably should read up more on the rules / logic of the game etc. but it struck me as a little strange to see this today.

    I'm not sure why but guessing it's related to a case of suspected community transmission that first came to light yesterday over here. There's been a flurry of activity in the past 24 hours with a lot of people in Northland getting tested.

    Folks are nervous about the prospect of entering a higher level of lockdown again but the government has made no decisions on this as yet. I think it
    will come down to the results that turn up with testing in the coming day or two.

    I think a trans-tasman bubble seems further away then ever.

    I saw a news thing that said something about a south african variant that popped up in NZ, and they want to make sure it doesn't spread before
    opening up again.

    NZ has been pretty on top of the covid things, so that is why I suspect
    it wont be for too long, and is more a cautionary thing, and our
    government covering their backsides.

    Oh well. I was hoping this would all be sorted by may (my birthday heh)
    I'd like to see my family.. but it's not really doable with border
    closures and air fare prices. Selfish I know, but hey, the sooner it's
    sorted the better.

    The inter-bbs game has been won so I have reset it.

    The game ID is now 93

    If you are in the Zone 21 league please check the ID has updated in your
    config file and if not update it manually.

    Please also check you are running the correct version of the game.

    In the next week or so I plan to prune nodes in both Galactic Dynasty and For Honour that are inactive (not polling for game packets) and/or running wildly out of date versions of the game (which means your packets being sent to the HUB won't be getting processed as they are the wrong version)

    Just FYI, after noticing that GD had been won, I started watching the STATS echo to make sure I was on the correct game ID. I have not seen any GD or
    FH updates posted in there for a few days. The BRE updates are posting
    daily, but not those two.

    Thanks!

    Thanks, I have set up a work around so they post from 1/101 on behalf of 1/10 for now.

    My plan is to migrate 1/10 over to the same system running 1/100 but for now let's make sure these files start getting posted again each day.

    I just did a manual test and that seems to have worked, next is to check they post when the BRE stats are posted overnight.

    Hey Apam,

    Is 1.2.1-dev the current version of GD?

    I'm running it on Windows - on an SBBS door server I created.

    I have an event that runs the maintenance - but when it finishes Windows popups up with the "GalacticDynasty stopped working".

    As a result, it leaves the inuse flag - so no further maintenance runs, and I guess you cannot get into the game either.

    I just did a reboot to be sure and it still happens.

    Any tips? (Its running on W7 32 bit - and the log doesnt show anything suspicious.).

    Hi All

    If you are the sysop of one of these three BBS running on auto please update your software and game ID over the coming week or I will delist you from the inter-bbs league.

    If you know the sysop of one of these systems please let them know about this message. My days of spending hours chasing folks to update software are behind me ;-)

    Thank you. Paul.

    Hmmm well it seems despite a reset the HUB instance is still generating a bunch of old high scores in the reports the bot would post each day. I may need to ask Apam what to kick to sort this :)

    I've bee trying to fix the issue whereby the scores for this game don't seem to reset after I issue a reset.

    This *may* be fixed now, but we'll need to wait a day or so to see what the games HUB is going to post as the results at the end of the day

    Hi Andrew

    Sometime could spare a few mins with me so I can work out why my copy of GD continues to hang after I run the game at Agency?

    It seems like the inuse.flg is not being cleared when the player exits.

    The script run called maintenance after the game is run and I think that's the issue.

    When I run the maintenance from the command line it spits out a 'segmentation fault' error, which i guess is why the inuse.flg remains?

    I cloned your repo on gitlab and built the version of the game, then copied the files over leaving the .ini file and .cfg files alone.

    The problem still remains, so I'm not sure how to fix?

    Of note the DIZ in the repo says the version is 1.2 but the version I had hatched out for the Linux source on fsxNet had a DIZ of 1.3 .. so I'm not 100% sure I am using the correct source?

    But that said, that bug of the database being called intebbs instead of interbbs seems fixed now on the version I dropped in to Agency today.

    Sure. The key is that segmentation fault. It's happening when a player
    exits the game? Is it any player or a particular player? Can you zip up
    the entire folder with player data and everything so I can run it through
    a debugger?

    As for the diz files, it's likely I forgot to update them in the repo,
    it's usually something I update just before sending to you, so it's
    highly likely I sent it to you then didn't commit the change.

    Thanks,

    Thanks will do, I'll send that across shortly.

    As far as I can see it's when the script runs as the player exits and maintenance is run and the game hangs, it seems to happen with me and I am assuming with others, but given it's locked up few have been able to play as it reports the door is in use all the time.

    :) All good, I just want to hatch out the 'current' version to make sure nodes that want to play the game are on the correct build with the bug fix.

    Thanks. I found the problem and have fixed it in git.

    The problem was caused by an invalid ibbs_winner.dat (ie, it said someone
    won the game who wasn't playing)

    I've also changed the build system to cmake, and added magidoor as a
    submodule, this might make updating this time a challenge, but in the
    future should be easier.

    I suggest wiping what you've got and starting fresh (save the
    galactic.ini and your script though)

    to build it is now:

    git clone --recurse-submodules \
    https://gitlab.com/apamment/galactic-dynasty

    cd galactic-dynasty
    cmake .
    make

    please let me know how that goes, I've only tested it on my system
    (FreeBSD)

    Gotcha, well I'm glad it was something you could find causing it. I feel like I helped by flagging the issue. Guess it would impact everyone at some stage?

    Thanks will do this now and report back.

    If it all works OK I'm picking it would be best to hatch this out to the FSX_DOOR echo as the new GDYNSRC.ZIP

    A related question how would/do I get my hands on the Windows equivalent files for the new version? GDYNWIN.ZIP? Not sure there is away I can go to pick this file up. The docs were pointing to a magickabbs.com URL that's now defunct I guess. I did take a quick look at the talisman website but could not find anything there.

    I'll work on Agency now and let you know. Thanks :)

    Ah, sorry. I left the "fail if warning" switch on, and looks like GCC is unhappy about different things than clang was.

    Should be right now if you pull from git.

    As for a windows version, I'll get one to you soon, I need to set up an environment to build it first.

    Should be right now if you pull from git.

    Thanks will try it again now

    OK thanks yes that has built and I have dropped it in and it now runs without the segfault. I could login to the game play it and leave and see the inuse.flg be removed. I did reset the game at my end to be sure also.

    cool thanks Andrew, I'll get this running at 1/10 games HUB to check Windows ver. Then after the coming 24 hours if all are working well I'll aim to hatch both versions out.

    I've updated the 1/10 HUB game using the Windows version.

    In doing so I spotted a number of older files in the HUB version that I am wondering if I can remove?

    15/06/2020 12:33 p.m. 5,120 interbbs.db3.orig

    the original reset batch file used to copy the .orig files over the in use db3 files, but can that batch file and the above files be removed now?

    to build it is now:

    cd galactic-dynasty
    cmake .
    make
    please let me know how that goes, I've only tested it on my system (FreeBSD)

    only issue with that is you need a gitlab login lol is it on github ?

    No, you don't need a gitlab login to clone the repository (only if you're
    using private repositories or to commit)

    Unless I spelled it wrong in my last email, it shouldn't prompt you for a password when you clone it.

    Hi all

    There is a new version of Galactic Dynasty that has been released.

    If you are part of the inter-bbs league in fsxNet please update to this latest version which has been hatched out in the last hour.

    The new version of the game is ver 1.3.2-dev

    This game uses a different inter-bbs packet (version 23) so you will need yo update your game files in order for your packets to be processed at the 1/10 games + Usenet HUB.

    Please then reset your game.

    The game has been reset at the HUB and the game ID is now 102

    I will send out a new CFG file to drop in to your game. Node 6 (2ndchoicecore BBS) has been removed from the league.

    Thanks, Paul

    Hey Apam,

    Is 1.2.1-dev the current version of GD?

    I'm running it on Windows - on an SBBS door server I created.

    I have an event that runs the maintenance - but when it finishes Windows popups up with the "GalacticDynasty stopped working".

    As a result, it leaves the inuse flag - so no further maintenance runs, and I guess you cannot get into the game either.

    I just did a reboot to be sure and it still happens.

    Any tips? (Its running on W7 32 bit - and the log doesnt show anything suspicious.).

    The inter-bbs game has been won so I have reset it.

    The game ID is now 93

    If you are in the Zone 21 league please check the ID has updated in your
    config file and if not update it manually.

    Please also check you are running the correct version of the game.

    In the next week or so I plan to prune nodes in both Galactic Dynasty and For Honour that are inactive (not polling for game packets) and/or running wildly out of date versions of the game (which means your packets being sent to the HUB won't be getting processed as they are the wrong version)

    Thanks, I have set up a work around so they post from 1/101 on behalf of 1/10 for now.

    My plan is to migrate 1/10 over to the same system running 1/100 but for now let's make sure these files start getting posted again each day.

    I just did a manual test and that seems to have worked, next is to check they post when the BRE stats are posted overnight.

    I've hatched out a new version of the game by Apam today.

    v1.3.0-dev WIN32
    v1.3.0-dev SOURCE

    Tonight I plan to update 21:1/10 to this version and do a reset on the game.

    When I've done this I will post a notice here with the new game ID

    This message is to alert you to those changes and signal the need that you will soon need to move to the new version too.

    What file echo are these in? I don't seem to be receiving them any more,
    on my Net 1 or Net 4 system. The last one I received was a 0 byte file in September. :) It looks like I am also no longer receiving the new config files, when the game ID changes.

    FSX_DOOR is where they were sent.

    The 0 byte thing is an annoying thing to do with using Htick to re-hatch stuff, in short it seems if I have a file in the HUB base and try to resend it without removing the copy I hold in the HUB filebase it can end up sending out only a correct tic file with an accompanying 0kb file with it. So I end up having to remove stuff from HUB file bases each time I wish to hatch stuff. It's not good :(

    Do you mean the CFG file? To be honest I forgot to send it out, although the software should be updating the game ID automatically based on a packet it gets from the HUB instance of the game that's running.

    I'll hang off sending this CFG out for now as I may end up adding or removing a few nodes before I do. Need to see what's flowing and what is not. But for now if you add 98 to your current CFG that should see you right.

    I've hatched out a new version of the game by Apam today.

    v1.3.0-dev WIN32
    v1.3.0-dev SOURCE

    Tonight I plan to update 21:1/10 to this version and do a reset on th game.

    I have reset the inter-bbs game, the new game ID is 98

    The 21:1/10 HUB is now running v1.3.0-dev
    AVON,

    I just checked my GDYN after I upgraded to v1.3.0, I did not get a game
    reset and I am still showing Game ID 97 in the .cfg

    Can you please resend?

    Also I had a trash load of .BAD file, I am guessing that was because of the version mismatch.

    Yep it will be because of the wrong version of the game and now you have updated because of the wrong game ID I expect.

    I'm going to prune some nodes in a few days time then will hatch the CFG file out but in the meantime just run a reset on your game and change the ID number to 98

    Thanks Avon,

    I have completed the /RESET 98 and killed all the .BAD files. Ran the Game
    and /maint. and no more .BAD files. All should be good one you push out the updates in a few days.

    It looks like on the Hub 4 system, you're only connected to FSX_NODE and FSX_INFO. Did you want to connect to the other file echos? Either I can set them up for you, or you can send a netmail message to Filefix to add them.

    I'd noted you were collecting but not sending in packets... thanks for this update. I'd suggest remove all the excess packets that had been sent to your BBS from the HUB and see if it will process the next fresh batch you collect.

    I will send out a copy of the .cfg file in a few days too... but just want to take some time to remove inactive nodes first

    I am actually getting them on my Net 1 system. I continually forget that synchronet tickit automatically moves them out of \fido\in when received.
    I should have the updated version installed now.

    Hello apam!

    Something seems to be not working properly... I have v1.3.0-dev with the correct game ID configured, but the interBBS rankings on my system only show local players. Paul has confirmed that he's receiving packets from me with the correct version and game ID. I did receive a spy attack from another system, but nothing as far as player rankings.

    Not a problem; it's what makes open source work.

    What compiler are you using for the Win32 version? I'm considering attempting to port it to OS/2.

    OS/2 has a gcc 9 compiler as well, it's in the rpm package manager for the netlabs repositories. It works pretty well, not available as a cross-compiler within GCC, but only hosted on OS/2.

    I used it to compile WWIV 5.7 on OS/2 and it seems to work pretty well. The only quirk was that I couldn't get the normal socket inheritance to work the same on OS/2 as I do on Win32 and Linux.

    Althought that's a libc related issue not gcc.

    How is it that you have someone with a lower score being awarded the winner status? I probably should read up more on the rules / logic of the game etc. but it struck me as a little strange to see this today.

    Hey I see Australia just closed it's borders to New Zealand :(

    Probably not for long I imagine.

    On the other hand, it might depend on which state you want to get into.

    I'm not sure why but guessing it's related to a case of suspected community transmission that first came to light yesterday over here. There's been a flurry of activity in the past 24 hours with a lot of people in Northland getting tested.

    Folks are nervous about the prospect of entering a higher level of lockdown again but the government has made no decisions on this as yet. I think it
    will come down to the results that turn up with testing in the coming day or two.

    I think a trans-tasman bubble seems further away then ever.

    I saw a news thing that said something about a south african variant that popped up in NZ, and they want to make sure it doesn't spread before
    opening up again.

    NZ has been pretty on top of the covid things, so that is why I suspect
    it wont be for too long, and is more a cautionary thing, and our
    government covering their backsides.

    Oh well. I was hoping this would all be sorted by may (my birthday heh)
    I'd like to see my family.. but it's not really doable with border
    closures and air fare prices. Selfish I know, but hey, the sooner it's
    sorted the better.

    Hi All

    If you are the sysop of one of these three BBS running on auto please update your software and game ID over the coming week or I will delist you from the inter-bbs league.

    If you know the sysop of one of these systems please let them know about this message. My days of spending hours chasing folks to update software are behind me ;-)

    Thank you. Paul.
