Yop there! I just wanted to tell something about my uptime record... Someone has been hosting a room for 67 days but the electricity went out... but I took a screenshot at 65 days

Here is the screenshot!

wow cool thats great....

Actually it lasted two days longer before a power outage made an end on the uptime

The server is rockstable and has many nice features. It will be harder to beat the stability of the server than it will be to beat the uptime.
Next attempt will be to reach 100 days.

Great work Zénar

Great wonderer keep us posted mate on things go. It will be great to hear from others using ZCS about how they have gotten.

Zenar released a new test version of ZCS.

Quote

V1.03 Test #1
Fixed a bug when you put nothing on ClientMSG, RenameMSG or ExitMSG (It will show nothing instead of the default message)
Fixed a mistake with the rename part... I forgot to add a feature to improve the security
Added Include - You can now use include= to split your configs into many files. That makes your life a little easier ;o)
Added SameIPMSG - ZCS tells you if someone else enter with a same IP
Changed ReplaceWord for ReplaceALL
Added ReplaceWord
Changed access letters for (RenameMSG = e) (ExitMSG = X) (SameIPMSG = i) make sure you update your config files
Show the new topic when it's changed and config.ini is reloaded
Added %STAYTIME% variable
Modified the variables of the flood protection
I forgot to add a feature to kick someone when the user change his name and that name is blocked... fixed now
Added the message part when someone login (Just like on WCS)
ZCS is now listing in WCB and other KM's programs

Edit I removed the download link.

unfortunately the Mono framework doesnt allow for such a great uptime.
But good news is i got it to last about 27 days on a 433
so i would say its a safe bet to say on a decent machine you can get about the same uptime as a windows box

Just fyi,
this uptime was reached on a windows xp sp2 system.
The second attempt is running with 2 zcs hosted rooms running on the same system and at 57 days at this moment.

Zenar released a new test version.

V1.03 Test #2
Fixed /logout command
Fixed a big issue with the supposly fixed rename part (Secondary users were kicked when they changed node)

Thank you Zenar.

Edit I removed the download link.

FYI. Zénar removed this testversion for the time being.
Due to a possible bug in WCB the roomlist information sent by ZCS causes WCB to crash.
This roomlist information has been blocked for WCB in previous versions of ZCS.

Zénar will look into this problem and try to omit the bug in WCB. If that is not possible, the block to WCB roomlist request will be replaced until the bug in WCB is fixed.

Even when Zénar succeeds to omit the bug, the bug on WCB will still be there and so, it may crash again in the future.

didnt one of the versions of WCS have problems listing?

Stick to the topic Mr B

WCB is nothing to do with WCS and this topic is about ZCS.

WARNING:
I've removed the download link of ZCS because it seems WCB is crashing because of it.
When I will have the time, I will try to fix that problem and if I can't, I will simply release an another version to block all WCB room requests.
It will help me a lot if someone can fix the bug direcly from WCB because I don't understand why all other clients are working fine but WCB is crashing... that makes non-sense lol
Ah yes, I can't open WCB from where I live because all incomming connections like UDP are blocked. That means I can't connect as a primary from WCB and I can't do some tests.
One more thing, remember that if I fix the problem directly from ZCS, the bug on WCB will still be there and so, it may crash again in the future.

Quote from Zenar's site. If any coders want to fix the WCB bug that would be awesome since Zenar can't use WCB to fix the bug in WCB.

Does Zenar have any logs of the packet transfers just prior to the crash as these could help in locating the area of concern or is the whole thing crashing before joining ?

Imho this means Zénar does not have logs.
Only thing known to Zénar is, ZCS does not send packets to WCB different from other clients and it is the only client crashing when connected to ZCS room v1.03 which has unblocked the roomlist requests from WCB clients.
