Author Topic: 255 Servers Max... (Read 12883 times)

Evlesoa · « **on:** June 04, 2007, 04:08:45 am »

It seems there is a limit allowed by Tremulous, and 255 is a max because it is divisible by some random numbers or something that the computers have... Like by bytes, 4 bytes is something like 64,700 something like that... here it seems to be 255. I am guessing the master server doesnt accept more? or there is no room? But i noticed it NEVER goes higher than 255!

kevlarman · « **Reply #1 on:** June 04, 2007, 06:07:42 am »

there are currently 1631 servers listed on id software's q3 master server.

Just look at it like this : You wont have to scroll thru 1500 empty noob servers still called tremulous 1.1.0 server or My Very First Server

David · « **Reply #3 on:** June 04, 2007, 01:58:13 pm »

The default value for servername should be "My Very First Server".
With cool rainbow colours.

Code: [Select]


// Maximum number of servers in all lists by default
#define DEFAULT_MAX_NB_SERVERS 256

Oops. :oops:

if this is real, please submit it is as a daily WTF.

So, the master has been dropping servers all this time?

lol. Filter out all the servers with odd chars at the start of there names, and problem solved

Edit:
Shows how popular you were expecting tremulous to be.
Should have had faith and set it to 10k.

Nux · « **Reply #7 on:** June 04, 2007, 05:39:35 pm »

Any particular reason why you set it to two to the power of eight?

Timbo why dont you edit that to atleast 300 Max.

sleekslacker · « **Reply #9 on:** June 04, 2007, 06:30:18 pm »

Should I write a patch for this so it can go into 1.2 ?

Code: [Select]


#define DEFAULT_MAX_NB_SERVERS 1024

should be fine for another year or two.

Timbo · « **Reply #10 on:** June 04, 2007, 06:59:06 pm »

In my defense I didn't write the master server, I stole it from dpmaster. Even if I had noticed the constant I probably wouldn't have changed it though, as 256 would have been regarded as somewhat optimistic when we released 1.1. In reality there aren't 256 usable servers anyway; many of them are behind NAT or firewalls. There are patches to fix this that I need to get around to reviewing and apply...

Anyway, the master server has now been restarted with a larger constant

. Well done for noticing.

gareth · « **Reply #11 on:** June 04, 2007, 07:08:29 pm »

509 servers now

That is the largest value you can have in 1 byte.

Nux · « **Reply #13 on:** June 04, 2007, 09:35:19 pm »

Oh yeah! Though it's 255 actually

but I guess 0 is first in this case.

Were they so strapped for memory space that a single byte is all they could afford? ^^ (Don't answer that, I understand

)

actually credit pwnstar, who told me, and i think i told people who told evlosa, or i told ev

A_Total_noob · « **Reply #15 on:** June 04, 2007, 11:49:32 pm »

Yeah, but Evlesoa is a haxx0r, so ban him from all those servers :wink:

On a side note, good job, whoever noticed this hiccup.

Evlesoa · « **Reply #16 on:** June 05, 2007, 12:49:39 am »

Actually i noticed this myself a few days ago... when I saw no new servers and it was stuck at 255... to be precise i noticed this exactly 4 days before the topic...

And i knew something was wrong, so I thought i should post about it

Edit - No one really told me, and this is because ive only been playing on 2 servers, that is ATCS Battle, and Our own server, and AKA i havent seen u around at all almost...

Nux · « **Reply #17 on:** June 05, 2007, 01:08:18 am »

Is this why some servers I used to visit alot don't appear on my list anymore? (e.g. aliens wrath, satgnu etc.)

I've refreshed and new list-getted and still they've never reappeared.

Rabbitt · « **Reply #18 on:** June 05, 2007, 01:27:54 am »

Favorite your servers and *poof* problem solved.

Nux · « **Reply #19 on:** June 05, 2007, 01:44:39 am »

Ok! I'll just go tell past Nux to make them favourites!!

>.<

Maybe if someone could gave me those two servers' addresses.. ^^

EDIT:

I can't get either 'Add Favorite' or 'New Favorite' to do anything :-? And the sorting by attribute has trouble too

That is the side of tremulous I've long since departed from tinkering with. I'm just glad there are still low ping servers that I can visit on my list.

-:GoDz:-Devil · « **Reply #21 on:** June 05, 2007, 06:57:16 am »

lol now this would explain my server problem I was having. I would host and not see it on server list, but yet to add it to favorites and see it and play in it, and then give a friend the IP to connect and it still works.

I think the server should be updated to 1000 Servers max I think.
Just my opinion.

I only get 324

I went to the MG server today and had to download some TJW thing, and now my ping sort doesn't work lol

Lord Baxter · « **Reply #24 on:** June 06, 2007, 12:27:47 pm »

Are you sure this isn't some bug in the master with the new limit? I find it hard to believe there are over 300 unreachable servers out there.

I strongly suspect it's from people that have run "apt-get install tremulous-server" on a debian or Ubuntu box and forgotten/not understood it. This starts a +set dedicated 2 server at boot time :roll:. I might email the maintainer about that

.

Oh, committed your patch BTW, cheers.

166 servers?

Timbo · « **Reply #28 on:** June 07, 2007, 10:00:22 am »

Yes, 166 actual, real, usable servers.

MG hosts a tjw mod?
Domination and Tjw mod's automatically forces your list to ping sort. At least, those are the two I know.
By default trem, ping sort is broken.
