StendhalDevelopmentBlog: Difference between revisions

== Year 2007 ==

 

We did some automatic code cleanup and improbed the package structure. This broke compatibility of server.ini (which you can fix as described in this [http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1892910&forum_id=3192 forum posting]. It was, however, a good time to do it now, because the ini-file needs adjustment anyway. To make use of the zone-storage feature (see last post) we need to provied our own StendhalRPObjectFactory and cannot use the default one from Marauroa anymore.

 

 

I have started to extend Stendhal to make use of the new persistent zone storage feature of Marauroa 2.0. I am currently trying to understand it and polish some rough edges based on the prototype of ArrestWarrants. So that it will be possible of jail players after they logged out and more important to set them free again even in case the server is restarted. I picked this example because it seems to be the easiest one; not because there is so much social trouble that we need this feature. So stay tuned, once we have a working prototype lots of new things will be possible.

 

 

Players are now automatically saved every 10 minutes. So in the rare case of a server crash, only little progress will be lost.
