Drama / Rykuta and his attempt to "bring me down"

« on: November 27, 2011, 10:41:23 PM »

11/27/11   18:50:49   Rykuta   4523   I could probably get kalphiter banned from blockalnd for that
11/27/11   18:50:56   Rykuta   4523   And subsequently everyoen else.
11/27/11   18:51:00   Rykuta   4523   who ever gave him
11/27/11   18:51:01   Rykuta   4523   their ids
11/27/11   18:51:06   LegoPepper   3763   However badspot is well aware of the dedicated server hosting.
11/27/11   18:51:21   Rykuta   4523   but is he aware that kalphiter has your key?
11/27/11   18:51:24   Rykuta   4523   as well as others
11/27/11   18:51:32   LegoPepper   3763   There wouldn't be any other way to host it,
11/27/11   18:51:37   LegoPepper   3763   And I entered my key into console.
11/27/11   18:51:43   LegoPepper   3763   Kalph would have to look over the logs.
11/27/11   18:51:47   Rykuta   4523   A dedicated server with his name on it?

Completely false.

11/27/11   18:54:30   Rykuta   4523   Mmhmm
11/27/11   18:54:33   Rykuta   4523   Badspot terminates IDS for that
11/27/11   18:54:37   Garth   6041   Giving out your key wont give you Recon
11/27/11   18:54:38   LegoPepper   3763   just report it rather than explaining the concept to me.
11/27/11   18:54:52   LegoPepper   3763   as it'd just be a waste of time,
11/27/11   18:54:55   LegoPepper   3763   same for the report.

If you've ever seen Badspot respond to a shared key you'd realize that he has logs of IP changes. This isn't the case, you're making stuff up. I don't record keys then use them for myself. There is almost no way to get away with this.

11/27/11   18:55:41   Rykuta   4523   as I'm pretty sure Lego isn't going to deny
11/27/11   18:55:43   Rykuta   4523   having said anything
11/27/11   18:55:53   Rykuta   4523   Unless kalphiter makes him do it

LegoPepper told me about this, you can go thank him instead.

11/27/11   18:56:02   LegoPepper   3763   What do you have against this hosting?
11/27/11   18:56:08   Rykuta   4523   Two things
11/27/11   18:56:12   LegoPepper   3763   I don't even fully understand it,
11/27/11   18:56:15   Rykuta   4523   1) Its personal, I'll tell you the story soon.
11/27/11   18:56:20   Rykuta   4523   2) He's used multiple ids
11/27/11   18:56:22   Rykuta   4523   to troll my server
11/27/11   18:56:22   LegoPepper   3763   And everything I say could well be misunderstood.
11/27/11   18:56:24   Rykuta   4523   And spam me
11/27/11   18:56:28   Rykuta   4523   and other people
11/27/11   18:56:32   Rykuta   4523   Also to bypass bans
11/27/11   18:56:38   Rykuta   4523   and
11/27/11   18:56:40   Rykuta   4523   Some fella
11/27/11   18:56:43   Rykuta   4523   by the name of TEchnoscubed
11/27/11   18:56:46   Rykuta   4523   Really good friend of mine
11/27/11   18:56:56   Rykuta   4523   his brother Poiyut handed out the Key online
11/27/11   18:56:58   Rykuta   4523   and got it revoked
11/27/11   18:57:03   Rykuta   4523   and every time Techno has tried buyin a new one
11/27/11   18:57:05   Rykuta   4523   Its removed
11/27/11   18:57:14   Rykuta   4523   why does Techno get bruised for using other alternate ids
11/27/11   18:57:16   Rykuta   4523   for random BS
11/27/11   18:57:19   Rykuta   4523   And Kalphiter
11/27/11   18:57:21   Rykuta   4523   A royal asshat
11/27/11   18:57:23   Rykuta   4523   gets to get away with it

This is really a different scenario. I've only bought one additional key just to hold a 2K ID, which was a bad choice.

11/27/11   18:57:26   LegoPepper   3763   So your trying to save my ass?
11/27/11   18:57:33   LegoPepper   3763   :/
11/27/11   18:57:35   Rykuta   4523   Maybe
11/27/11   18:57:36   Rykuta   4523   If I can
11/27/11   18:57:40   Rykuta   4523   I don't know.
11/27/11   18:57:43   Rykuta   4523   All I know is
11/27/11   18:57:53   Rykuta   4523   hmm
11/27/11   18:58:04   LegoPepper   3763   As I said,
11/27/11   18:58:05   Rykuta   4523   Kalphiter is pulling stuff
11/27/11   18:58:10   LegoPepper   3763   I can perfectly deny all of my posts.
11/27/11   18:58:12   Rykuta   4523   that other peopel who are much better people.
11/27/11   18:58:12   LegoPepper   3763   Why?
11/27/11   18:58:18   LegoPepper   3763   Because I'm not completely sure they are true.
11/27/11   18:58:26   Rykuta   4523   Denying them
11/27/11   18:58:29   Rykuta   4523   And denying you said them
11/27/11   18:58:31   Rykuta   4523   are different things
11/27/11   18:58:35   LegoPepper   3763   Oh I C
11/27/11   18:58:38   LegoPepper   3763   Well,
11/27/11   18:58:40   LegoPepper   3763   have fun.
11/27/11   18:58:41   Rykuta   4523   You didn't say anything self incriminating
11/27/11   18:58:44   Rykuta   4523   only that you explained the premise
11/27/11   18:58:47   Rykuta   4523   and what you know about it
11/27/11   18:59:14   Rykuta   4523   I honestly don't know If I'm going to do anything. But I'll find someone who will be able to use that

You're not going to do anything after how much I've embarrassed you with this topic.

General Discussion / New Years' 2012

« on: November 24, 2011, 06:55:29 PM »

The second annual party is almost here. There are many new cool features that I've implemented, such as a scrolling text board, improved fireworks, and a dance floor that has patterns. Inside by the entrance, there is a new giant arch as a big welcome. This party will be bigger than ever. A switch in Blockland's EXE allows for more memory and more players can be let in. I expect the first limit to be 130 players, and then I'll raise it higher and higher to see how much can be supported.

Music is going to definitely be different, as last year they were loops made over time, where as this year they were made with the party in mind. There are about 268 loops right now, up from the previous 177. Some at the moment will be deleted, and some added. Music downloading will be better, because I'm going to make an add-on to add music right into the cache, instead of having to download it from the server.

In addition to the multiple countdowns from last year, GMT+2, GMT+1, GMT, GMT-5, GMT-6, I will also be doing the rest of the US contig./Canadian timezones, so GMT-7 and GMT-8.

Video
From last year's party




Music (268)
Subject to change
Submit requests by posting in this topic, requests due by December 25th

New rule: music needs a link, preferably to a YouTube video, and I really want a start and stop time for the loop.

Within the last month I have created a system for uploading music. Strict standards will be applied, the songs must make sense and must loop.

Sign-up and then upload music here.

There is no in-game counterpart but it is planned.

General Discussion / Fixing this master server outage

« on: July 14, 2011, 03:20:14 PM »

Mac

There is a solution for the mac users. I knew that the UNIX system also had a hosts file.

http://decoding.wordpress.com/2009/04/06/how-to-edit-the-hosts-file-in-mac-os-x-leopard/

just replace the notepad parts with this and you're all set.

Windows


1. Run notepad as administrator


2. Paste the following content into your notepad document:

Code: [Select]

# Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
#	127.0.0.1       localhost
#	::1             localhost
127.0.0.1       localhost
75.125.196.138	forum.blockland.us
75.125.196.138	blockland.us
75.125.196.138	master2.blockland.us
75.125.196.138	master.blockland.us
75.125.196.138	auth.blockland.us

(also, check if the hosts file listed below has more contents than just "127.0.0.1"
An unmodified copy of the hosts file should only have 127.0.0.1. If there is more,
don't forget to include it)

3. Save the file to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts


4. Restart Blockland

5. ???

6. Profit

Help / Exceeding 100 players

« on: June 05, 2011, 09:59:33 PM »

So as a fun experiment, I decided to spam the memory using the console. I simply built strings up using functions I made to multiply a string by 100000 fold and keep doing it. When Blockland reached 1,750,000 KB in memory, it crashed.

I kinda hinted onto Blockland having a memory limit before crashing, and it seems to be correct.
Formula (a): 70 players = 1.2 GB RAM
Formula (b): 100 players ?= 1.67 GB RAM (1,750,000 KB)

Formula (a) is derived from a real-time measurement I made on Cucumberdude's server
Formula (b) is a theory that Blockland has a hard memory limit, which is why my 100+ player servers crashed

Fortunately, these ratios are extremely close. I think I've cracked why over 100 players cannot be reached.

So, since I found this out, I'd like to see this "limit" raised in order to exceed 100 players. If not possible, it would be nice to have an explanation as to why it cannot be done.

Note: These formulas aren't exact, there are many other factors such as the amount of projectiles, however formula (a) was from a server with a low volume of projectiles (Jail RP).

I'd appreciate other people doing this test and posting the results of when the game crashes.

Help / Sudden 64 packets/sec sent to a client

« on: May 31, 2011, 04:19:07 PM »

As you know, I have a Dedicated Hosting Service.

I'm having a problem, all of a sudden, packets will be sent out to a client on a server at 64 per second, every 3 seconds, 5 times. It appears to use 100% of my bandwidth (100mbps), thus giving little bandwidth to anyone else. Here is a part of the packet log:


Now, the server being connected to is Count's server, and the client connecting is FrostBite. The fact that the the subsequent packet load happens 5 times in a row, also matches the fact that when a client connects, 5 addresses are tried (some matchmaker thing).

This happened about 4 times yesterday.
