Yes, yet another boring List Server News Thingy.
One of the issues brought to me recently was the fact of the amount of patches released recently with Contrabandent experiencing problems, and I have been doing some work with Alberto, registering some more domains and so fourth. The plan we have to bring forward (myself and Alberto), based on his Intelligent patch technology, the last and final list server patch needed. If a list server went down, or changed address you wouldnt need to update your jj2 again, as it could be done by us changing a setting at our end. We will be finalizing it in the coming weeks, and hopefully get some users to help test it before pushing it out to everyone.
So yeh, no more patches after that :) Should please a lot of you.
Secondly is the issue with the American List Server, I am in talks with Monolith and other community members about the future of that list, updates will come but in the mean time you can safely assume that it isnt working. You can remove it from your JJ2 by applying the patch at:
http://nimmy-online.com/listservers
This patch is only for Windows users, sorry Mac/Linux users :(
and finally I have also had people ask me why there servers have been listed twice on the list servers, one of the new features announced last month was the automatic removal of pinging servers, one of the bugs in this is that once a server is delisted, it STILL kept getting pinged every 5 minutes, so if your game suddenly appeared a game, the list server would see ur server is alive, re-list your old entry, and also add your new entry you just created. This is a minor bug and should be fixed in the coming weeks. But isnt it great now that Pinging servers have gone?
I also hope to plan to make a publicly available list of servers that have been delisted and the reason why, therefore if people wonder why there game has delisted, they can look up and see why (Mostly likely delisted automatically by the ping checker) At least that will stop people accusing List Server Admins of delisting games for no reason.
Interested in helping test the new patch? Query me on IRC or PM me on here, ;-)
PS- Updated jazzjackrabbit.net due in the next month or so, with more detailed ingame statistics. When I get round to it.
Also just a note, I cant take "PERSON IS CRASHIN SERVERS!!" via query as a good enough reason to investigate, please run links tool on your server that monitors people joining (ApprehendJJ2) and provide a screenshot.
Thanks, and happy Jazzing!
