It is a current bug. You need to force connect using the above described method.

I may not have time to reply until next week due to my family's illness, but has the mismatch been resolved?

no

Ranran(retired) · February 10, 2020, 01:53:00 PM

I further investigated the pakset mismatch.

pak.sweden did not show much mismatch and were entirely vehicles but not related to any particular parameters.
Also, there is a case where a mismatch is determined and a case where a mismatch is not determined even for the same vehicle.

Judging from that, I speculated that it was a problem related to the timeline related to future vehicle information.
is_future has been expanded to two levels in future vehicle information.
It is helpful to confirm if the following fixes resolve the issue.
I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Thank you for this - now incorporated.

Sorry, the countermeasures did not seem to be effective. (´・ω・｀)
I am investigating the possibility of a matter when can_lead_from_rear = 0.

Sirius · February 19, 2020, 02:44:15 PM

Listservers and stephenson-siemens down or is this some kind of DNS error here?

Matthew · February 19, 2020, 06:11:26 PM

I can't access Stephenson-Siemens either. I get a freeze when I click on the network icon. With Freahk's loading cheat the freeze is after the pakset has loaded.

GDB reports:

Hello, the server is completely down. I have already asked Isaac what's going on. Sorry but I can't do anything about it at the moment.

Isaac Eiland-Hall · February 19, 2020, 08:31:05 PM

Yes, the server is down. I'm working on a replacement.

Vladki · February 19, 2020, 08:38:27 PM

Whoever has the last save, please share it.

Sirius · February 20, 2020, 11:51:52 AM

I had a quick look at the server on 18th February at 13:00, it's April 2001 at roughly 5:38:46 ingame.
Anyone got a later save?

I cannot attach the save to the forums due to size restrictions but I might send it by mail.

Matthew · February 20, 2020, 05:24:14 PM

This save is from Tuesday 18 February at ~0430 CET. Earlier than Freahk's, but available now if that helps.

Sirius · February 28, 2020, 05:01:21 PM

Any news?

Isaac Eiland-Hall · February 28, 2020, 11:58:41 PM

I have the replacement and had intended to give necessary access, but I started a new job and that has caused schedule delays. But I do have the next three days off, so I will be working on it. I do apologize for the delay.

Also, It is unknown if this server will be able to host a game. I hope it will be, but I'm unsure until it's tried.

Sirius · February 29, 2020, 12:36:33 AM

Don't hurry and no need to apologize!
I greatly appreciate the effort and just wanted to know if there are some serious issues

It's all right. If the server cannot host the game, I might have a suitable server

Ranran(retired) · March 08, 2020, 07:35:25 AM

I proceeded to investigate the pakset mismatch issue.

I found a rail way vehicle that displays different formation pictures in network mode and offline mode.
This seems to happen on the side where bidirectional = 0 and no constraint is set.
From this I presumed that the related variables were not initialized correctly and fixed that.

I threw a pull request.
It would be helpful to confirm if this fix resolves the mismatch. (´・ω・｀)

In addition, the typo of help text has been modified in one place.

Vladki · March 31, 2020, 08:36:00 PM

The list server is up and running. I will try restoring the stephenson-siemens game when the nightly pakset build is fixed (i.e. when makeobj is fixed)

Isaac Eiland-Hall · April 01, 2020, 04:17:24 PM

Thank you all for your incredible patience with me. I am quite confident that the server situation will now be stable for the foreseeable.

Wait! That means it will be running on the new servers? I did not expect this tbh but that's awesome news!

Thank you for hosting all these services!

Yes (if the hardware has enough power).

Isaac Eiland-Hall · April 02, 2020, 04:06:24 AM

I'm hopeful that it will be enough; I've just learned to try and keep my hopes in check these days. heh. :|

Vladki · April 08, 2020, 07:18:41 PM

Stephenson-Siemens is up again.

Thanks to Isaaac for providing the hardware, and to James for coding and fixing bugs...
I'll try to put some easter eggs there

Sirius · April 09, 2020, 08:41:14 AM

The server does not seem to be up-to-date.

Vladki · April 09, 2020, 08:50:06 PM

Updated. I forgot to set up the automatic updater, now fixed.

Sirius · April 09, 2020, 08:59:25 PM

purr-fect 😸

Please don't take this as a complaint - I am rather amused. Most misspellings are "Issac". I've never seen "Isaaac" before. It helps make up for some of the "Issac" instances. XD

Okay, so I'm really really hoping this game does work. Sounds like it's not failing so far, at least!

Vladki · April 09, 2020, 11:55:56 PM

Not failing but quite a lot of desyncs, especially when someone is connecting, it kicks out the previous player.

Vladki · January 02, 2021, 11:04:59 PM

Stephenson-Siemens server is officially down.
- there were no regular players visiting
- the game was already in future, so no new vehicles, only obsolescence of older ones
- the nightly builds requires more recent glibc than available on the server
The last save is here: http://list.extended.simutrans.org/~simutrans/debug-saves/Stephenson-siemens.sve

If the library issue is solved I may run some other map in the future (e.g. wienna-krakow-budapest)

I hope to see it again soon - it is good to have a smaller alternative to bridgewater-brunel, especially for new players and low-end PCs.

jamespetts · January 02, 2021, 11:18:00 PM

It would be good to see this up and running again with the library issue solved. Are you not able to set up the server to compile its own binary?

The server is provided by Isaac (thank you). And has some other duties too, so I did not want to install compiler, and devel libraries, etc... But if Isaac would not mind, I can set it up to build it's own nightlies.

Isaac Eiland-Hall · January 03, 2021, 03:39:47 AM

I'm hosting a game? See how much I pay attention! lol.

The only thing I use that server for is server backups, so the resources can be pretty freely used otherwise. I know it's not a fast server, but if it's fast enough to run a game, awesome

Vladki · January 04, 2021, 08:24:13 PM

Thanks to Isaac for upgrading the server to ubuntu 20.04, so we can run the pre-compiled nightlies by James. Stephenson-Siemes is up again, but I'm looking forward to replace it with a new map.

Excellent! A new map is probably a good idea so that people can start afresh. I suspect that you can afford to make the map a little bigger than the previous one.
