Hello Avon!

Looks like it's about time for a reset... I haven't seen any updated stats in FSX_STA since 2022-06-10.

Hi all.

Game was locked up and I've pulled out 77k of stuck packets and issued a
reset with a new game ID of 101

Hopefully all will be well now.

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,

Andrew

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.

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

:) 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.

Best, Paul

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.

Just a thought can we bump the version of this source code and the windows builds to ver 1.4 ? that way I can be sure everything is the 'latest' ?

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?

24/08/2018 07:54 p.m. 8 ibbssync.dat

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?

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
