DM's/Players Logged On.. fixed?

Post by Ithildur »

Is the app/bot fixed? AFAIK there were issues with the ircbot and the website displaying incorrect information as of last week.

Incorrect at this moment, so I'm guessing no.
Talk less. Listen more.

In what way are they incorrect ?

There is a known bug with BG's DMs appearing on TSM.
I have checked it and it looks like a problem in BG's module.

Could you describe the problem if it is different than this one ?

That is in fact the bug. Just wanted to check in and see if it was known/status. :)

If Mord and AL are okay I could try to solve it but I'll need access to the module and to the server.

It is most likely due to a compiled version of a script packed into the alfa2_acr.hak which is remembering the TSM serverID (003) from when it was compiled, rather than the current ServerID (010 for BG). If so, it will require some hak editing, though I might be able to pull it off without actually doing a full re-staging of all the servers and forcing everyone to download the new hak.

It hadn't struck me as a particularly pressing issue... but I can try to look into it over the next few days.

I don't see it as a very pressing issue but I can see where it hurts BG's team: people who do not know this bug can think that there is never a DM logged on BG.

If it's complex to solve I could maybe temporarily change the listing so that it gives:
players in TSM
players in BG
DMs in ALFA

I'll try to grab a BG DM to help me test this evening.

Fixed now with an interim measure (for BG and for TSM), will migrate the fix into the haks with the next update.

Please report any problems with the fix via PM or IRC message.

Thanks a lot AL.

Sorry to have bugged you with that but I think it will be a great thing for BG's team.

Thanks AL. Good for both BG and TSM folks.
