Things have gone quiet for some time now. Here is an update on how things are at mDd.
We developed different approach to record serverdemos more efficiently. Now they are not depending on the client's snaps rate, anymore. Unfortunately this leads to a bigger file size.

We noticed that servers tend to crash a lot lately. They crash due to a problem in the module threading system. It's not easy to fix, this might take a while. The whole record system has to be rewritten anyway.

chicken and me both work 50+ hours on our day jobs. There is not much time left for mDd and defrag :(

Database Split
2011-04-02 16:44  
I didn't want to post this yesterday for obvious reasons:

We have finally managed to get our database scripts right. I just deleted all records prior to 2009-11-01, because they have no server demo and therefore cannot be trusted. Those times will be reintegrated into the database when the new database layout is ready.
About 60000 times were removed.

There will be a flagging system. This means a record can be in several states like "cheat", "unchecked" or "temporarily valid". We will also display if the record is backed up by a demo or not.
If the user agrees on sharing the demo you can download it.
This means we are no longer deleting cheated times but flag them as "cheat". They will not be displayed in !top or on the website on default. You can display them by explicitly asking for them in the search query.

Timer resets are now banned (fake)
2011-04-01 01:42  
This was a joke for April fools day


Yesterday, we finally decided on banning TimerResets altogether. People started to abuse timer resets. On map that are obviously not intended to be reset(like boris_pie in vq3). It's banned in the DFWC for a reason. It is just the source of pointless grinding.

I know I said, I'd not ban timer resets. Well, Khetti was right after all, I guess.

Instead of going the long way of relinking the start timer with a delay of -1 we just send a "kill" command when we detect the timer reset.

This can be abused on very short maps, though. But it turned out to be a better fix than expected. I am a bit short on time until I finish my diploma thesis but I promise to do the relinking way to fix all timers properly.

Maybe BeRsErKeR helps to fix the mod so we don't have to do it in the server.
