Might be that the serversoftware went down, but let the client run and it will be uploaded when it starts again ( At least I hope it supposed to work so )

Ps. I have runned the client for 100k loops a couple of times now, and its the most stable software I ever have runned on Windows!!! Thanks Starfinder and Tussi

Yesterday i had the same it missed 3 globals while i was running the client.

Can you make a friendlist on the website so you can see of the people you added say the globals in the last 24 hours?

When it is running it is great.

Cheers

Sorry, no clue.

Droid, a definite Yes and No at the same time.

The client will cache the results while trying to contact the server, should the server come back online after a longer timespan then the client will feed the results as fast as your bandwith permits - but the duplicate detection on the server might clean up a bit more than intended in such situations.

I hope that i find some time in the near future to improve this (and implement a rather long list of other stuff which came into my mind) - i'm currently occupied by RL issues (which i can't ignore to squeeze out some time for developement at the moment) but that should improve in some weeks.

Thanks for the flowers

Siam,

That is strange and should normally not happen.

Please verify that the client outputs globals (a timestamp, the avatar and mob name, ped value and some other numbers) when you run the client.

In case you don't see global information in the client window when you end your EU session: Please send a lossless compressed screenshot (PNG) to the email below so i can take a look why it won't parse correctly (maybe you didn't run EU in windows 2000 compatible mode (microsoft.com)?

Please also send the debug.log which the client is generating (will be created in the folder where EntropiaTracker.exe is in) to me - should you by chance have screenshots of the globals (lossless .PNG is best - like autoscreen creates them) please attach them too, a timestamp (in GMT = MA time) would be helpfull.

Important is that you copy (or rename or move) the debug.log before you start the client again, because this file is recreated at startup (simply wiped so that it won't eat up all your diskspace over the years - unless you don't restart the client for a really extended period of time).

- disregard, already covered in the post above -

[Lobbe]

I think it's a nice tool

The server doesn't seem to be collecting any data from the clients at the moment

The live lists aren't showing any new globals since 13:26ish

[Tussi]

Yes, seems that the server part of the collecting process (aka. the relay) running @ Starfinder went offline.

After a quick search in the forum:

I did call my ISP about 5049 times yelling at them.. (First time in 2 years my line went down for more than 5 min)

i would guess that Starfinder currently has some problems with his connection and the yelling didn't help that much.

I just entered the following into my TODO list for the client:

Multiple relay support to remove single-point of failure

Sorry for the inconvenience - nothing i can do about it at the moment.

In case you can - please let the tracker client run in the background untill Starfinder is online again (when EU isn't running it shouldn't eat much RAM and CPU at all) so that the globals will be transmitted (times on them will be screwed up a bit though).

Thanks for the update, I was planning on just letting it run like you suggested, but unfortunately my computer just restarted randomly

So hopefully there are a bunch of people who are running it atm

This is why I suggested to starfinder early on that the grabber server process (where grabber client data is sent) should run on the webserver I am providing for the project. That server, where I am hosting EntropiaTracker.com (along with Entropedia.info and EntropiaRadio.com), is on a multiple-redundant 1000 MB backbone connection, and has 99.99999% uptime.

I believe starfinder was planning to make this migration, but needed to work together with tussi to modify the connection instructions in the grabber client .exe.

Please have some patience and remember that EntropiaTracker.com is still in development stage. At some point in the near future, we will achieve 100% tracking uptime, and all globals will be reliably recorded into the ET database, more features will be added, and much more data presented on the website.
