Another thing is that I want all involved in this to have a fair picture of the commitment I make to keep the server serving this project. * Firstly the "server" is not really a machine built for server purposes. It's a desktop minitower that's built to be silent. I have it in a little room here some foot above the floor (so that any water on the floor won't leak into the computer). I have a tape backup running every day and try to remember to cycle the tapes once a week and also remove the old tape from the house so that a fire or a theft should mean at most a week's loss of data. Since it's a desktop system it's not SCSI disks there. It's one IDE disk. This means that if it breaks it will take a while before I get the server services running again. This actually goes for all major components. Rest assured I will make my best to have the wiki and the rumble services running as stable as I can. * At the current I am not nowhere close to tiring on this Robocode addiction of mine. But in the unlikely event I would tire some day I will keep the services to the community running. And if I ever feel I don't want to do that I will give you all due notice and send the databases and scripts and whatever is needed to whomever volounteers to keep the thing running. I say it again, this is unlikely. I enjoy nursing the server too much. =) What we could do to make a stop in the services (due to hardware failures of any kind) mean as little loss of data as possible is to mirror the databases and crucial data somewhere on a regular basis (maybe twice a day or so). Anyone wants to act a mirror just say so. It's good if you are running Linux or MacOSX or some other system with the rsync tools because this I have on the server and this will allow us to consume as little CPU and bandwidth as possible for the mirroring activity. -- PEZ davidalves.net / mandatoryexplosions.com at your service :-) --David Alves Thanks! I'll get in contact with you and we can test the sync procedure. If you haven't received an e-mail from me in two days or so, send me a reminder. =) -- PEZ |

Do the clients make any attempt at running battles between robots of similar ranking? It appeared as if Sedan hasn't actually battled DT yet (which I thought was curious) -- Kawigi |

The only download is the participents list from the wiki page, and the bots from the repository. The server really should set the battles list in a later version. -- Tango |
