Directory Servers

[»doc flabby]

re: http://www.ssforum.net/index.php?showtopic=23633

 

I highly recommend ALL zones ADD:

 

ssdir.playsubspace.com

 

Your Directory server list should read:

 

sscentral.sscuservers.net,ssdir.playsubspace.com

 

Note, do not put spaces in, or it won't work.

 

The main server sscentral.sscuservers.net is currently down.

 

If your zone is not on ssdir.playsubspace.com, no new players can find it. Its in your own zone interests to do this.

 

ssdir.playsubspace.com has been the backup directory server for OVER 3 years, since 2006, its highly reliably, and runs a custom directory server that I have developed and won't be going away anytime soon, unlike the many other servers that have come and gone over the years.

So if you know anyone running a zone, or have connections with anyone who can get this change made, who has not already added it to their list, pester them, escpially thoses big SSC zones who think they don't have to care about this crap, then start wondering where their population is going

Is there a limit to the length of the [Directory]IP field?

 

We have this:

IP=sscentral.sscuservers.net,warpath.bluetoast.org,warpath.hlrse.net,sharvil.nanavati.net,auto.subdir.net,auto.subdir.org,sscentral.trenchwars.org,ssdir.playsubspace.com

 

And *g*Directory:ip returns:

directory:ip:sscentral.sscuservers.net,warpath.bluetoast.org,warpath.hlrse.n

 

...Also, 17th doesn't show up on the ssdir.playsubspace.com list

Sama, only two of those that you listed are valid. One of them has two aliases, so it's just redundant. The rest have never been functional for more than a week. Seriously, how many times do I have to repeat this to people?

And yes, Continuum/Subgame do have a set limit on the length of the directory server field. Remove the cruft, and it will update properly.

Hmm.. I'll be sure to add that to the revamp project.. But question is i dunno how. Is the default directory in a dll? That can easily be adjusted.

[Samapico]

Do you need to recycle or something after changing dir servers? 17th still doesn't show up on the list... fixed the dir servers yesterday.

Is it possible that the server's firewall block it? All directory servers run on the same port, right?

[Hakaku]

With Subgame, I would assume that you do need to recycle to fix the issue.

[L.C.]

All directory servers on subdir.net/org, hlrse.net, and bluetoast.org are non-existant.

UPDATE: After some experimenting at 17th Parallel it became clear there are firewall issues on some servers preventing connection to ssdir.playsubspace.com, and thus appearing on the list

 

Therefore I have updated the directory server software with a "never before seen feature (because the it should never have been needed)" to allow a fixed list of zones to be preloaded. More info: http://forums.minegoboom.com/viewtopic.php?p=80661#80661

 

I've added the following zones to it:

 

SSCU 17th Parallel|66.36.241.110|5900|
SSCU Death Star Battle|69.56.227.178|3600|
SSCU Extreme Games|66.235.184.102|7900|
SSCU Trench Wars|66.36.241.110|5400|
SSCX Chaos/League Zone SVS|66.235.184.102|13500|

 

 

Have i missed anyone out, whos on one of Prittk's servers and there fore isn't getting updated on the directory listing?

There has to be someone out there who can fix his servers for this

Spot the error:

Spot the error:

Ya that should sort itself out after 5 minutes, it happens if the directory server has to restart because it crashed, there still some bugs :/

[Samapico]

WTF I MISSED A HUGE GAME OMG

 

Notice it does it for all the "forced" zones

[»doc flabby]

Any zones i've missed out please let me know and i will make sure they are added on the list, i'm sure im missing a few, but my continuum zone list doesn't have them all.

[Hakaku]

Not sure if anyone noticed, but sscentral.sscuservers.net appears to be back online.
