Re: Multiplayer server hosts
Verify that it still happens with my Xt builds before starting to hack on this karajorma.  Most of the FS2NetD code was rewritten, for 3.6.10, and whatever this problem might be it could be that it's fixed already.

Re: Multiplayer server hosts
I'm afraid it happens on Xt builds as well, else I wouldn't have added it to Mantis.

Check multi.log for anything that might indicate a problem.  I fixed the logging to make all of that stuff more useful when debugging things like this.

Re: Multiplayer server hosts
Actually I just found something interesting. It doesn't happen on Xt debug builds. Could it be something as simple as compiler optimizations?

Multi.log shows some supposedly validated missions as invalid (not many, and no [V] missions, only from the mission pack), otherwise nothing that springs to mind. My multi.log file for non-Xt builds is useless due to bloat (100mb+ from less than 1 minute of being connected to FS2Net).

No, I think it's just the code.  My Xt builds have the FS2NetD v.2 code base, which is basically a rewrite of the client and server to be more cross-platform, fix a ton of bugs, and add modular table support.  The server side is largely the same (the v.1 server code was upgraded along the way too), except for validation and a couple of bug fixes that enhance compatibility with the new client code.  The v.1 and v.2 servers do use the same database for users, stats, and mission/table CRCs, but they are otherwise incompatible.  This bug is likely just something that I worked out in the new code, since most of the client code was either rewritten, or written from scratch.

EDIT: Crap, just realized that you might have meant that it did happen with release Xt builds, but not with the debug Xt builds.  In that case I suppose that it could be optimizations, but I'm pretty careful about avoiding stuff like that.  This wouldn't be the first time that MSVC6 kicked out bad optimizations though.   :rolleyes:

It could just be that the missions aren't in the validation database.  The log should give you the CRCs it detected from the missions that it declared invalid.  Send me those mission names and the CRCs and I'll make sure that they get added to the database.

Re: Multiplayer server hosts
...The question is, does your port UDP 7808 forward correctly?  (I can go multi with you and test if you want).

Re: Multiplayer server hosts
Hiyah!

colecampbell666 pm'ed me second time about my FreeSpace 2 hosting, so:

My computer specs:
256kbs download and upload...  It's radio connection, so it have it's own sense of humour. Sometimes it works better than it's technical specificaton says, but also sometimes loses signal in the worst possible momment ^^
Operating System: Windows XP
RAM: 1GB
Processor: CeleronM 1.7ghz
Video Card: ATI Radeon Mobile (Yes, it's notebook)
Video Memory: 256mb
My location: Poland

I'm hosting every day (or almost every day) around 19.00 GTM+1 and I'm playing till late night. Sometimes {303} Hippo is the host, becouse of his internet connection which is better than mine.

See You in Space,

{303}Psychoo
Expect the best. Be prepared for the worst.
