spads's Issues

InGameMute plugin should still allow players to vote

Currently, I believe it's this plugin that's preventing muted players from being able to vote, yet they are still included as part of the vote participation pool.

My suggestion would be to trim the optional message arg from any commands that have them and forward the bare command for muted players. e.g.

!stop haha u suck -> !stop

restoreDefaultPresetDelay

Hi ! How ya ?
Fonction restoreDefaultPresetDelay:30
[11:31:23] <*> [ACE]Sure * Battle empty for 30 seconds, restoring default settings

This cannot be executed in [ACE]Pirine due to the presence of a bot.
Is it possible to restore defaults settings, even with presence of specs (or bots...) ?
Or eventually the possibility to choose restoring with or without specs...

Thx !

SpringLobby autounspectate does not work cleanly with SPADS

When SL users check their auto-unspectate box, the next time a free slot appears in a SPADS hosted battle, they will all momentarily autounspectate (unless the battle is full, which is not necessarily the same thing as having reached the autohosts self-imposed max player count). Almost immediately after, all but one of the clients is returned to being a spectator. When this happens each SL client thinks it became a player, and unchecks its auto-unspectate box.

The result is that (I don't know about other lobbies) it appears as though SLs auto-unspectate function only tries to unspectate once on SPADS hosts.

I don't know if this is genuinely a SPADS issue or a limitation of the lobby protocol, but it seems it cannot be cleanly addressed in SL (springlobby/springlobby#365).

http://planetspads.free.fr/ offline

not sure for what its needed but update, etc. seems to rely on it.

"Spring crashed"

since the lobby server update spads reports "Spring crashed" when starting a game:

[06:41:39] * [BA]Peewee * Launching game...
[06:41:45] * [BA]Peewee * Spring crashed ! (running time: 6 seconds)

an idea why this happens?

the dev server which uses the updated version is running at lobby.springrts.com:7000

"failed to upload demo"

most spads autohosts seems to fail to upload demo. i don't have access to a full log file, but very likely its caused by the update to spring 98.0 with this in changelog:

! demofile string in infolog changed "recording demo: %s" -> "Recording demo to: %s"

SPADS death with infinite spam of uninitialised values to console

Probably triggered by lobby server upgrade. Other two SPADS instances were unaffected and this one starts normally without problems after killing it.

NewFeature : Keep several games «infolog.txt»

I wasn't here, and infolog.txt was overwritted with next game on server's side.
I did play replay and open the client's side infolog.txt, but It would be so better to have the infolog.txt on server's side.
Maybe it doesn't worth it because it's 97% the same that on client ?
In such a case https://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=36547#p584103 , not sure maybe......

Can you 👍

On running gameS, why not write infolog.txt, infolog1.txt, infolog2.txt..............
or
Keep same infolog.txt (wanna be big, but... ) like you do on any other spads log files.

Maybe it is more relevant to spring new feature ENGINE ?
If yes, close it plz and I will mantis or GIT Engine feature.

[SPADS] Unable to create temporary directory "/.InlinePython.tmp" for Inline::Python used by plugin SpadsPluginApi: Permission denied

I tried looking through the source, and it seems that the catdir func is not getting anything for instanceDir, so it is trying to create a temp directory in root (which naturally wont succeed :) ). InstanceDir is defined in my main spads.conf as:

SPADS/src/SpadsPluginApi.pm

my $inlinePythonTmpDir=catdir($::conf{instanceDir},'.InlinePython.tmp');

spads is using an abnormal amount of ram

Previously spads was using 10-30MB ram, constantly. Recently, the usage has risen to 150-200MB ram. i am unsure if it's a memory leak, or some abnormally large file being loaded in ram. I tried to delete chat log, which was the biggest file, but the usage remained the same. User database is only 2 MB large, so i'd tend to exclude it.

The "step" parameter (quantization) of mod/map options is ignored

SPADS doesn't use the quantization parameter of map/mod options, instead it relies on the minimum and maximum number format: if at least one of the minimum and maximum values contains a ".", then it will allow decimal values. Otherwise it will only allow integers.

This is not correct, instead it should read the "step" value and use it in conjunction with the default and min/max values to deduce the allowed values.

Manual balancing option

Would it be possible to add a balance "command" that completely bypasses the autobalancer?

e.g. !balance {player1, player2, player3} {player4, player5 + player6}

This would achieve: players 1,2,3 on ally team 1
player 4,5,6 on ally team 2, players 5 and 6 share team-id

don't count games with cheats enabled

game results shouldn't be used when cheating was enabled

(and spads should print an info about this)

TLS

SPADS clients all login to the lobbyserver without using TLS, it would be great if they could make a secure connection? (For host<->engine comms, I don't expect TLS will ever be implemented.)

NewFeature : Add «pr-downloader»

Hey !

What about adding «pr-downloader» "exe/bin" into var/spring/10x path in your automanagement ENGINE system for using it ?
I use (actually 103) pr-downloader with a cron job for automatic MOD update.

Yes I know I can get 104 ENG package 7zip on springrts.com, extracting it somewhere, and make a link. This is what a do actually with 103 ENG.

It's just a question ! ;)

support for KICKFROMBATTLE:server

As discussed - KICKFROMBATTLE now exists not just in the host->server direction but also in the server->host direction (currently only on the test lobbyserver)

https://github.com/spring/uberserver/blob/master/protocol/Protocol.py#L2757

installer not working in non interactive mode

The installer fails in non-interactive mode due to the last 3 questions:

$conf{lobbyLogin}=promptString("$currentStep/$nbSteps - Please enter the autohost lobby login (the lobby account must already exist)");
$currentStep++;
$conf{lobbyPassword}=promptString("$currentStep/$nbSteps - Please enter the autohost lobby password");
$currentStep++;
$conf{owner}=promptString("$currentStep/$nbSteps - Please enter the lobby login of the autohost owner");
$currentStep++;

These statements should be run only if the $conf entries are empty and the installer is running in interactive mode. So that we can pass them as arguments or edit the config file afterwards.

options can be set beyond game/engine limits

number 10000.000000 option limitscore exceeds boundaries 500.000000 5000.000000

Require an absolute majority for !cv stop after ~5-10 minutes of game

... otherwise the losing team can call a stop vote and if they are lucky, the winning team will be too busy winning to vote no.

Is there a way to assign required minimum participation per specific vote?

spads sends binary/non-utf8 data it seems

this is not supported by lobbyserver/lobbyprotocol, this is what it sends for example:

user EvoRTSDedicated3 in this case.

Inconsistent vote permissions behavior in boss mode.

BAR uses two sets of command files, both start with importing the entire {commands.conf}

https://github.com/beyond-all-reason/spads_config_bar/blob/main/etc/commands_default.conf
commands_default.conf is used by the global default preset [team], thus I assume it is also picked up for the presets [ffa], [coop], [duel] and [tourney] as well. This uses the usual regular command permissions.

[kick]
battle,pv,game:player:|100:0
::|100:

https://github.com/beyond-all-reason/spads_config_bar/blob/main/etc/commands_custom.conf
commands_custom.conf is used only in the global preset [custom], and is intended to make sure that non-bossed players cannot vote out the boss, and cant vote for kick or other commands, so their votelevel is set to 0.

[kick]
battle,pv,game:player:|100:10
::|100:

Expected behavior:

[custom]
!kick commands from the boss should not trigger a vote.

[all others]
!kick commands from the boss should not trigger a vote.

Observed behavior

[team]
Boss saying !kick triggers a vote

[ffa]
Boss saying !kick triggers a vote

[coop]
Boss saying !kick triggers a vote

[duel]
Boss saying !kick triggers a vote

[tourney]
Boss saying !kick triggers a vote

[custom]
Boss saying !kick does not trigger a vote

Spads 64bit
Post by Forboding Angel » Fri Jan 01, 2021 2:19 pm
Awesome. Lost my entire post. Thanks tab suspender that isn't smart enough not to close tabs on pages with forms.

So long story short. Moving to 64bit. Uninstall strawberry perl 32bit, install strawberry perl 64bit. Look in documentation for if I need to do anything for spads 64bit. Can't find anything. Run spads with no issues. Spads auto managed stuff is set to 105.0. Downloads 32bit. Ruh roh. So I go looking again for threads on 64bit spads and come up mostly empty.

Switch to non-automanaged spring version pointing to 105.0 64bit dedicated. Server starts with zero issues.

Am I missing something here?

assuming you are using spads on windows: a quick look into the source code of spads leads to this:

https://github.com/Yaribz/SPADS/blob/1a ... ter.pm#L40

it seems spads has a hardcoded 32 bit windows: i guess because when this code was written, the win64 bit executable didn't exist:

either hope that bibim sees this thread or create an issue please at https://github.com/Yaribz/SPADS/issues

enable HTTPS replay upload by default

(I cannot find the replay_upload.py file in the repo, or I'd made a PR.)

Please ship a updated version of replay_upload.py: dansan/spring-replay-site@f6d48f5

Thank you

autolockclients matters even when autolock is off

It looks to me as though https://github.com/Yaribz/SPADS/blob/master/src/spads.pl#L2045 will trigger and autolock the battle whenever nbClients > conf{autoLockClients}, even if conf{autoLock} itself is set to off. By default, according to http://planetspads.free.fr/spads/doc/spadsDoc.html this will bite as soon as there are 32 or more clients connected.

I'm not sure if this effect was intended, but if I'm right then I think it has confused the current BA hosters.

spads disconnects without telling the real reason

https://paste.pound-python.org/show/gNaNgr4XylqQENWBgpXX/

spads should report the reason why it thinks the connection is broken with the default logging level. without its not possible to investigate fix / change / improve something.

Restrict !promote command when game is full

When numbers of players are reached from nbTeams / Teamsize exactly.
With this, it avoids %p (nil) value taking a blank space in the message, like on BlackHoleHost2 for instance below :

[16:53:55] * BlackHoleHost2 * player(s) needed for battle "The BlackHoleHost - Revenge" [Balanced Annihilation V9.43, DeltaSiegeDry] ([AFUS]Ares)
[16:54:32] * [FAST]AutoHost1 * 60 player(s) needed for battle "** Tech Annihilation **" [Tech Annihilation v2.41.0, techno lands 3v3 v2] ([DIE]Vatermoerder)

You can, for instance, reject !promote command with a message like :
Promote command is not needed, game is already full.

Server shuts down too soon

Originally posted in https://springrts.com/mantis/view.php?id=4362, relayed over here:

The issue is that the autohost (it seems) sometimes shuts down the server too soon, it doesn't give enough time for explosions to calm down even after the game has declared game over.

Like in this picture:

Is this controllable from spads with some setting?

Number of teams to trigger end game award printing

Why does this number have to be greater than 2? Does it take gaia team into account? I am opening this issue as it did not print statistics after multiple 1v1 games and there are no comments near that line explaining the >2.

https://github.com/Yaribz/SPADS/blob/master/src/spads.pl#L12733
spads.pl(stable):12653 if($nbTeamStats > 2 && $conf{endGameAwards}) {

"Disconnecting from lobby server (broken connection detected)"

when and why does this happens?

log of such an event:

Resource bonus

Would it be possible to add a command to adjust resource bonuses? I haven't found a way to do so yet (without adding code).

Negative bonuses as well if possible.

Code to fix : Undefined value as ARRAY

In console, I discover that Spads gave me back the prompt :

NOTICE - [SPADS] Spring archives have been modified 1 minute and 26 seconds ago, auto-reloading archives...
Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at ./spads.pl line 1234.

Last line in spads.log :

20170930160204 - NOTICE - [SPADS] Spring archives have been modified 1 minute and 26 seconds ago, auto-reloading archives...

And the line on spads.pl 0.12.2 (or 0.12.2a) is
return 0 unless @{$r_availableMods};

error "Can't locate SimpleEvent.pm in @INC" at launch on Archlinux

hello:

Today I upgraded my Arch server
seems that new perl is used and is not able to locate local modules like SimpleEvent and SimpleLog when launching spads

This is perl 5, version 26, subversion 0 (v5.26.0) built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi

spads shows

Can't locate SimpleEvent.pm in @INC (you may need to install the SimpleEvent module) (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/share/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/core_perl /usr/share/perl5/core_perl) at ./spads.pl line 38.

Thanks

And the line on spads.conf is
next if($data{$field} eq '');

Seems that happened because the connexion to lobby were falling down or it's for another reason maybe ?
I reported it here because I saw this log on only 1 of the 16 hosts.
Some of the others showed broken connexion detected messages, some others with extra message
ERROR - [SPADS] Unable to open battle (To few arguments: 4)

Provide a plugin to mitigate vote system exploits

In Spring context where anyone can create any number of accounts easily, it's hard to ensure vote uniqueness: players can exploit the vote system easily by creating multiple accounts and then using them to vote in SPADS autohosts.

It should be quite easy to make a small plugin to prevent multiple votes from same IP address for newbie ranked accounts (i.e. if any account with a given IP address has already voted, all other newbie ranked accounts from same IP address are removed from the list of remaining voters).

This would NOT prevent vote system exploits, it would just make them a bit harder, forcing exploiters to use several VPNs at the same time for example.

Unintelligible SPADS messages

Could something be done about these messages? I doubt any newbie would know that in some context
"you are not allowed to call command "start" in current context."
means "you are not allowed to call command "start" while being a spectator"
