TTopForums
Your support source for TTopRPG 2.0
(These forums are my beginning attempts at PHP/MySQL/CSS. They will improve bit by bit)
I started coding these forums on 5/20/2009 with almost no prior experience with PHP or MySQL.
Javascript routines work with IE 8, Mozilla Firefox 3.0.10, and Opera, so far
Pardon the color scheme, I continue to tinker with it

| ffanxii4ever May 18th, 2010 11:45 PM Join date: May 18th, 2010 Posts: 4 | Right, I've been using TTopRPG as a GM for a little while now, and I gotta say that I like it a lot more than MapTools since its a lot simpler. However, in my last session, my group ran into an interesting problem; almost exactly every five minutes, give or take a few seconds, all of the players would time out and eventually disconnect once they got their three warnings. I have used TTopRPG to host before, and had never run into this problem with earlier versions (currently using v0.99.103). Any ideas as to what was happening? |

I haven't been able to track down the real source of the problem yet. I know it seems like an odd coincidence that it happens after 5 minutes, but I can't find anything wrong with the timeout code at this point. I'm keeping an eye on it, and will certainly hammer in a fix once I can figure out what's happening there. But since the problem is unpredictable and hard to replicate, I'm having a difficult time examining the problem. Maybe I can find a way to have TTop spit out a log file of network activity so that a user can email the log to me next time something like that happens. This problem isn't specific to 103. Nothing in the network code changed in that release. What's confusing about it is that the timer resets whenever a packet is received from the other side. So either no packet is being received, or the timer isn't resetting for some reason. A question: When the timeouts start, within the frame of it counting 1, 2, 3, are you able to see each other's chat messages? Another question is, do both sides complain about losing connection, or just one side? |
