Bug Fix Version 20210623(2148)

NOTE: DOES NOT EXTEND CURRENT PROJECT THREAD, EXTENDS 20161123(2054)_ALT.
(So don't download if you are using the current OYS Versions!)

Changes:
+Exception catch for MetaData loading, should help sort out why some addon packs crash the server on launch.

Notes:
Still heaps a bugs, but it should be an improvement.

The link provided gave me 'Error 403 (Forbidden)'.

I think there's an issue with the file sharing permission.

I updated the permissions on the Google Drive. May you please try again?

Download link returns "OpenYS_20210623(1848).zip" — it seems like available build version is older than mentioned 20210623(2148) in announcement.

Flake, I missed an update? I had weird things going on last week that had me distracted from a lot of things. I just got it installed and it is currently running my server.

[Flake]

I've found the issue with crashes to OYS with certain addon packs.

It has do with how I handle data conversion from string to byte arrays.

I'm assuming all strings are characters 0-255 (so no unicode) - this causes problems if I find a UTF8 encoded file instead of ASCII. Characters such as "Right Double Quote" \U+201D will break when trying to convert from char to byte with my current methods. I can only assume this is the same for Japanese characters for example.

I need to determine how each string object is encoded, and use the appropriate decoding function, to convert to/from byte[].

To fix this I'll need:

1) To identify the encoding type of every file I read from disk. (Could be ASCII, could be ANSI, could be UTF8, could be other...)
2) Identify the encoding of IRC messages (UTF8 << Correct, or 1252 in most cases.)

3) Identify how YSFlight handles these encodings - conversion to ASCII? native UTF8 support? Test this by loading vanilla YSF, use any aircraft with non-ASCII characters, see what is sent by the vanilla server. Decode bytes to identify encoding used.
4) I'll need to match the format of all netcode sends to the same encoding YSFlight uses.

EDIT: Hopefully that's fixed. I had to change two methods to use "Encoding.Default.GetString/Byte(). This means the encoding for the user isn't assumed, so hopefully this works!

Bug Fix Version 20210703(1712)

NOTE: DOES NOT EXTEND CURRENT PROJECT THREAD, EXTENDS 20161123(2054)_ALT.
(So don't download if you are using the current OYS Versions!)

Changes:
+Error Log now correctly pulls the full stack trace, and not just the first frame. (Typo with two variables frame and Frame...)
+/wind now sets the wind direction correctly (90 - .... -> 90 + .....)
+string ToDataString() and byte[] ToByteArray() now use Encoding.Default.GetString/Bytes() methods for conversion. This gracefully handles all text encodings AFAIK. Should see much less loading crashes now.

About your OpenYS...

I'm impressed with your work for the YSFlight community Flake. I'm glad there are people as hardworking as you.

I would like to thank you for this. That's it.

Sippin a brew

while testing the server on OpenYS I came up with the idea that an option in OpenYS would be useful - automatic change of several maps, with the possibility of declaring the time between changes. probably this idea has already been - so forgive me if I missed it . in such a case I will have to submit to voluntary flogging with gravel standing behind A10C Warthog for rehashing old cutlets . greetings and have a nice day/evening for all.

[Neocon]

I'm pretty sure you can set a sequence that will change the map and restart the server. I don't remember if you could have it do that repeatedly or not.

[fallen]

Hi Neocon. Thanks.

I'm not sure if this actually works. Maybe I'll try the following sequence when I have some free time.



Separating map names with commas? I don't believe it will work - but there's no hell without fire - ha ha .

I want to try running an OpenYS server on Raspberry, but whether it will work - I don't know.

[Flake]

You could make a scheduler to change the map then issue a restart, that oughta do it. Repeats always.
