I want to provide hosting for TDM + Missions

Hey everyone,

 

I noticed that your mirrors are quite slow (I'm looking at you funfreegameshq.com). I still have a Strato Server with unlimited traffic lying around, which is idling most of the timen so I'd like to help with some bandwith. :)

 

I also noticed that your distribution process is subpar, as it requires access to the server or manual intervention. My recommendation would be to setup an rsync server on the official server, with which the other servers can be synchronized automatically (every hour or so). As rsync detects change between files efficiently this would speed up the distribution and not cause more load. (Mirrors would be whitelisted by IP) This is also the recommended distribution process by the Debian distribution. If you would like me to I would look into adapting the debian mirror scripts. So we can use them for the distribution of the TDM files. This would provide additional benefits like pushing to mirrors and multistage sync.

 

What do you think?

 

Greetings

Sounds good - I agree on the rsync side of things too. Been thinking of it for my few boxes that are helping out too.

If you'd like to quickly grab a tarball or something of the files, shout at me in irc (freenode / #thedarkmod). I don't have access to the mirror list but I'll take care of making sure that happens in the next day or so.

 

And then we'll look at rsync or something for the future.

 

Will get that slow mirror removed, had another two people mention it in irc last night.

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
