Arry Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 (edited) Hey cypher. I'm developing a small little zone for scrabble fans (because all the existing scrabble arenas in subspace are poor and neglected). I'm currently running my own biller, but I was thinking about switching over to accede on a permanent basis, but I was wondering what the uptime on the biller is at this stage in developement? The only thing that would stop be from joining accede is if it would affect the ability of people to log into my zone. (I'm running subgame at the moment) Additionally, are there any other considerations I should make before connecting to Accede? Edited January 8, 2008 by Arry
»CypherJF Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 I don't believe there to be any issues; the uptime is relatively sound. The host I'm on has been up 104 days and counting. The biller itself was recycled to pick up a patch change 3 days ago (?buptime). If I know there will be live zones, I'll be willing to take into consideration population levels to minimize outage time for zones. I do a lot (if not all) of testing on my local PC/server to make sure subgame and ASSS (tcp and udp) seem to connect, then run a few commands. I try my best to also include a checkpoint where I login with 2 clients on different servers locally to emulate cross-zone communications. If you do encounter issues with the biller, send me a message as soon as possible with a timestamp so I can review the logs. Smong's piratez zone has been connected for some time; and has only reported 1 issue which I have hoped to have fixed with this latest release.
»CypherJF Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 One other thing to note is the biller isn't complete yet; for example, BanG hasn't been implemented for a front end. The biller does have the capability of banning players based on several criteria.
Arry Posted January 9, 2008 Author Report Posted January 9, 2008 K, I'll connect up to Accede either tonight or some night this week. I don't expect to ever have tons of population (er... right now only 4 people can play scrabble at one time)... but my zone will normally have two bots in it at all times so that people can jump in to play whenever they want.
