I'm proud to release this bugfix release, which fixes the issues on windows hosted systems and ManiaKarma, MusicServer and so on. The full changelog is available at https://www.uaseco.org/downloads.php#Changelog

There are still some bugs not fixed yet, but I wanted to bring this fix as soon as possible. Please keep reporting...


Important
wget isn't required anymore (for both systems), that has been replaced by an own script which acts as a worker process for the WebRequest class. Currently you have to start that process the same way as UASECO. This worker kills himself on UASECO shutdown, so there is no need to kill him manually. I'm unsure if more simultaneous processes are required... lets see if it works well.

The install guide at https://www.uaseco.org/documentation/installation.php has been updated as well.

That worker process sounds very interesting. Will take a look at it as soon as I can.

I quite like the idea of the worker process as well ass it prevents any needs for the usage of the exec.
Can you catually launch multiple worker process?

Hmm maybe for systems that have exec permissions starts the worker process when uaseco starts and if not show a warning asking the admin to start it?

I guess not, because it does not append his PID into the PID file (it's overwritten). This makes it impossible for other process manager (which uses PIDs) to kill a (or all) worker. Also after one worker sees the controll file to kill himself, the worker deletes it (at least in my version, the current one doesn't, which prevents it from starting).

Well, yes... the main process should be able to start(/controll) the worker(s), but that's nearly the end of the todo.


EDIT: Maybe pcntl_fork() would be nice, but can that bring again trouble with windows hosted servers? Hmmm...

well if you wish to use exec, there is a library I made that allow to do it. It checks if it's windows and proper libraries to allow equivalent of exec to be used are present it uses them, if not it runs them without exec so not asynchronously.

https://github.com/oliverde8/PHP-AsynchronousJobs

If exec is deactivated on server it should also switch to non asynchronous mode but it doesn't work, seems like I have missed something.

But I quite like your solution as there is no exec involved.

Hi all!

Thank you undef for the update, we're so happy to have the mania-karma, live ranking and music server running again! It's a very good job in a so little time

We've installed all the files and processes following your online documentation, and we have two three things to report. These remarks are not critical, it's just to avoid you from going on holidays now, lol...

Command not working

We can't use the "/admin remove" command. Even if we use a "/list" command before to display the list of maps, entering "/admin remove 1" for instance, the controler responds that we must use /list before.

Missing antislash check

If you enter in the <mapimages_path> tag of uaseco.xml (line #87) a path to a folder, the last folder name is understood as a file prefix. The comportment is different from the <dedicated_installation> tag (line #67) in which the last folder name is understood as a folder. I suppose the code doesn't check and add a backslash at the end of the path. To resolve the issue, we added an extra backslash, so don't waste time with this now, keep it for a rainy sunday afternoon.

Memory load

I updated one of our game server and checked the window task manager before updating the second server, and here are the results:



uaseco v0.9.1 occupies 3.5MB of memory, while uaseco v0.9.2 needs 36.8MB (uaseco.php + webrequest.php). As before, this issue is not critical as a game server has sufficient memory to handle this, but I'm sure that with this one I will definitely ruin your next sunday, lol!

Best regards and a ton of thanks!
