[PROGRAM] OpenYS - Open Source YSFlight Server!

[u2fly]

COOL!
PLEASE, make binary for Linux!

How about a version I can run from my Android phone. Haha. Sorry.
I'll download and install the update when I get home.

Read this! http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1096 ... ng-c-sharp
When OpenYS will built with Mono-runtime then it will work on Android, Linux and Mac !!!
Thats why I always ask and hope it will be very soon!

I have yet to find a program installed on my computer that will both open and save the new settings file. I will be forced to continue using the November 30 version until that changes.

Seriously, what was wrong with the standard text file? Every text editor will open and save those. Nothing I have seems to like the new format. Excel 2003 (the only version I have on any of my computers) won't do it, and I just updated Open Office a few weeks ago, but it won't save in .xlsx format.

[u2fly]

Agree, I also think that xls/xlsx are bad idea.

@Patrick31337, try get Gnumeric at least.

@OfficerFlake, think one more before make xlsx as main config file for OYS. Try drop dependency from huge and not free officesuite. If you really want use spreadsheets, please, use .odf files with Gnumeric or LibreOffice.

[Neocon]

It looks like Gnumeric is not available for Windows. I found a compatibility pack for MS Office. I'll see how that works.
EDIT: No luck.

You can get it here! http://portableapps.com/apps/office/gnumeric_portable
Size ~25mb.

[Neocon]

The settings file seems to have been corrupted when I saved it, so Gnumeric doesn't work for me, either.

EDIT: I got OYS to open, but then I realized that the file size of the new settings file is now over 50 MB! Once again, Gnumeric doesn't work for me.

EDIT2: Google Docs Sheets does the job. I got it up and running.

[Flake]

Perhaps I will try and make it backwards compatible?

I might also make a simple GUI tool for editing the settings file so that a copy of office isn't needed.

Also please stop asking about a linux version - nah.

[Neocon]

Like I said, all you have to do is import it into Google Sheets and it's easy to modify and re-download to your computer in the appropriate format. And it is free and web-based.

One request: Can you make a version that works on Raspberry Pi and has the nukes left intact?

Hi guys - a few bugs in the latest version as Pat has pointed out to me.

Specifically, thread collision issues with the deferred packet class I have written.

Will look to resolve soon!

[Dragon_Mech]

TallyHo!!!

[Flake]

Okay so I just moved from my current system of "Thread Safe" lists to ConcurrentQueue, which appears to be working well.

I never used ConcurrentQueue for two reasons: 1) didn't really know about it. 2) It for some reason was new and scary to me.

Concurrent queue works like so: You Enqueue and object to the queue, adding it to the end.

And you can TryDequeue to pop an item off the front of the list. The idea is that multiple threads can add to the queue and multiple threads can remove from the queue. The downside is that there is no accessable list available but considering I am just popping packets in an out of the queue and not concerned with the contents so much this shouldn't cause me any issues.

The up side: ConcurrentQueue is FAST, very fast. And it's clean, not much chance for any bugs either. I gave it a test on my PC and it appears to be working okay.

[Neocon]

Are you using openys.servegame.com? I keep getting "Cannot connect to the host" messages.
EDIT: I just realized you posted over an hour ago while I was updating Windows.

[Flake]

Now Updated to Version 20151209(1709)

Changes:
+Moved from ReaderWriteLockSlim class to ConcurrentQueue class for packet output queueing - this should be a cleaner and more viable solution.
+Fixed a minor bug in SettingsGUI where if the Value was null, the Remark would not be added to the table.
-Removed Nukes

I guess you meant 20151209(1709) ...????


Thanks

[Flake]

Possibly. I often forget to update all of the post.

Flake, if it is at all possible, can you fix the serverlist compatibility with OYS?

I know I've mentioned it many many times, but I think it seriously needs to be fixed. IMO, it is one of the reasons why online activity in recent months is fairly muted. The server list always displays OYS servers as empty, even when it isn't, and due to OYS' widespread usage, everybody has the impression that absolutely nobody is flying online. This deters people who would want to fly from flying online, even if there are people actually flying, exaceberating the lack of activity here.

@OfficerFlake,
can you make github repo for OpenYS?

[NajmiCreative]

having problem on one of the .dll's......
but it really exists in the libraries file....
