Matchmaking: Ubisoft EU GOLD+SILVER Elite Lobby

[gouxim]

Hey, the lobby maps were just updated with your submission

[kripkee]

On Elite Match #17, the server stuck after "mapvote". Maybe you could fix this?^^
This happens at 4:35 pm. You should find some logins like badplash, kripke etc.^^
The current map is Rust. Could not find the matchid from it

Hi, this happened on server #20 too, and on another server too, but I didn't checked this server id. I guess that all the servers crashed

Thanks for the lobby maps.

If you want even more lobby maps, you could add

which I just finished revamping.

And please update

http://sm.mania-exchange.com/maps/view/ ... y-atlantis

to which I added ultra shadows. (Why is this option hidden? I just found out about it a few days ago!)

I'll update the lobby maps tomorow morning.

Why not auto-update & restart every night @ 6am. Automatically. So if players update maps with the same map-id then you dont have to do anything. ^^

For a task to be efficiently automated, the tools pipeline has to be very robust: you need to think about monitoring, maintenance, alerting when something goes bad, and so on. While it may seem a quick and easy task, it is not that trivial.

We'll get there, eventually ; and it's already improving, for example we've build tools to be less prone to errors when updating maps, and it's working fairly well

Edit: lobby maps updated

Yeps you're right ^^
Sometimes it sounds easier than it actually is!

Well there would be also easy ways todo it, for example witg servercontrollers. Maniacontrol has everything in to interact with maniaexchange including an library checking if updates available. Simple plugin would be needed which checks as soon a server js empty if there are updates available and puts them on. Approximatly 20 lines of code needed.

Dont even need to restart, and if you want the possibility to add new maps, put a json with mapids somewhere, use the async file reader of maniaconteol to fetch the json and lwt them add it (another 20 lines of code).

+1 hour once to setup maniacontrol proberly for all servers

Well, I only understood halve of this post but it sounds like a perfect solution to me
