trembot is dead

[Chojin]

Hmm.... I was just browsing the logs...

Decon: 8 1 0: X deconstructed overmind

How about adding:

Build: 8 1 0: X built overmind

This would make it easier to read the logs and if you add in-game messages it would safe people time writing "overmind is up" in teamchat. BTW, i suggest green as in-game message color A future statistics parser would also benefit, i think.

The latest tremded.exe/tremded.x86 should prevent the client error:

CL_GetServerCommand: a reliable command was cycled out


when loading a new map on a server with lots of players.

See https://bugzilla.icculus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2784

Installed it this morning, but the fix doesn't seem to work: 2 guys told me, that now they get that error on every map change instead of on some map changes.

Are you sure you replaced the tremded.exe or tremded.x86 file?  The fix was not in the game.qvm.

It certainly shouldn't make the problem any worse

[Paradox]

I still get it, but it is much less, and only occasionally when a map is nexmaped.

And you're absolutely sure you're running the server with the latest tremded.exe?  You really shouldn't get this error anymore if you are.  Maybe try re-downloading?   The md5 hash of the latest tremded.exe (the 2006-07-18 one) is 766c6afd2ec8d6eb81acbb878d4d815f if you have any way to verify it.

Well, to be precise: no, I am not running the binary you compiled. I did a fresh download of the current source revision 802 from SVN, let your latest patch run over it, then patched it with my colored log-messages and then compiled it. But I double checked, that I have the fix

Code Select Expand

if( client->state < CS_PRIMED )
 return; actually is in src/server/sv_main.c.

I myself have never seen the error in my client. Does the client offer a choice to reconnect?

And you're absolutely sure you're copying the tremded.x86 or tremulous.x86.exe that gets compiled to the proper place (not just the game.qvm file)?  

Sorry to be so daft, but this seems like such a straight forward fix and fixes the problem in my testing so I'm having a hard time believing it's not fixed.

They do not get a recconnect button just "OK" on the error dialog and then they have to connect again using the Play menu (or by typing /reconnect)

[Chojin]

I am pretty sure, I double checked date and size on both files. Anyways, to be absolutely sure I'm going to download your binary, try that one and report here then.

Sorry to be so daft

No need.

CL_GetServerCommand: a reliable command was cycled out


OH NOSE!!! (or was that 'oh noes'?)
Take it away! take it AWAY!! it's that nasty error message i get on my mac everytime i'm on Napkin's (Chojin's) server when it changes map! Take it AWAAAAAY!!! :eek:  :eek:  :eek: That darn error keeps ruining my fun!
Mind you, my ping  is starting to play up now too...I HATE THAT ERROR MESSAGE! My entire Mac does, too! PLEEEASE fix it for mac!

...please?

[Chojin]

Haven't seen many "entered the game" followed by an immediate "disconnected" since the fix. Only Glunnator and Rougebrik was his name i think. Maybe he was using a Mac, too?

[Paradox]

yep, latest.

[Glunnator]

*sniff* My poor Mac and me... :cry:

I put up new versions of tremded.exe and tremded.x86.  I think these should do a better job at preventing the "reliable command cycled out" error on larger servers.  Let me know.

Nevermind, that change caused other probs.  Reverted.

thanks a lot, tjw.

I think this is the error you get when tremded is not finding the correct game.qvm file.  Review the install instructions at:
http://tjw.org/tremulous/INSTALL.txt
If you put the game.qvm file in the main base/vm dir, it gets ignored.

[BunnyFooFoo]

I get a 404 error on the /tremulous directory on your server, TJW.  Anyone else?

[Chojin]

Yes, this is the correct link: http://tjw.org/tremulous/SETUP.txt
