Multiple servers

[Cadavre]

Restarting / Shutting down individual servers ran by the same binary would be swell. It's starting to get pretty frustrating running a server when 1 out of 6 needs to be restarted for some reason.

Also ip-configuration and port configuration should be available in the servers.txt instead. Makes migrations of servers easier as you don't need to edit each individual serveroptions.txt-file.


something like this:
total_servers = 2
server_1 = Harmonia
server_1_ip = AUTO
server_1_port = 14801
server_1 = Graal2001
server_1_ip = 81.223.43.121
server_1_port = 14802
server_1 = Graal Classic
server_1_ip = 81.223.43.120
server_1_port = 14803

I'll admit the logic for that had always confused me, its fine and dandy, but its a bitch to debug and handle the servers individually.
But I suppose the option is there, "you don't have to host them all on one console"

a RC command to restart a server would be nice. least for those of us who are not hosting our server and have to ask the person who is to do it for us.

[Cadavre]

Yeah, that would be nifty.

Well in the case of hosting a single server, a batch file + /shutdown works well as a restarter.

[Cadavre]

it's easier to update one binary than 6 individual. :P

[Cadavre]

Yeah. I've been procrastinating on adding this support. I need to do the following:
A) Provide the ability to restart an individual server.
B) Program in a way to determine if a server constantly fails to load and stop it from loading.

It is all incredibly complicated by how the multithreading works. I will have to re-program the main() function.

Oh.

What about putting ip and port in the servers.txt though?

sorry but ive been doing it for years, i think it makes it easyer to ready so you dont miss a period here and there or a ,. <----see how that works out.

What the?

[LoakeyRonso]

i dont like to type out comma when i can just drop one of the ,'s .

Then at least wrap the son of a bitch in quotes o_o

then everyone would be able to understand it . and whats the fun in it if you dont make them work for it ?

[Beholder]

Our point exactly. You should go work for it.

[Cadavre]

You are awesome, Nalin! I hope you know that already. :D

[Cadavre]

Yeah, I noticed that. Along with like 5 more commits with bugfixes and stuff. I'll recompile my binary tomorrow when people are not playing or working on any of the servers I'm hosting. :)
