Mara-Coop IP Moved -- WallFly Update?

[Maraakate]

Hello,

I'm the admin of the mara-coop/maraakate.org server.  I had to move hosts recently and the IP is now 52.240.58.168.  It is still resolvable via maraakate.org, but it appears WallFly uses hardcoded values for the IPs and does not use DNS?  Who do I contact about getting this fixed?

Thanks,
Frank

Updated, should be working on your new IP now.

Hi Claire,

I see WallFly has been absent on the server for the past couple of weeks.  Can you look into it?  If something needs fixed or changed on my end let me know what I need to do to help.

Thanks a lot!

Mara,
I don't see a version string in the server status block indicating q2admin is running on that server. Q2admin is a requirement.

Q2Admin is running, but it's an older version where I reverse engineered the protocol.  If you connect like you normally would with WallFly it will work.  If you updated the code in the past year and requires some additional information and there is source available to it please let me know and I will fix it on my end.

The reason I did it this way years ago is because I was not interested in using the gamex86.dll hack for tsadmin.dll to work and the protocol was quite simple to add into the mod directly.  This makes it so I can run it on non-windows and non-win32 platforms.

I've added the serverinfo string.  If it is enough for the updated protocol I am unsure, but I believe it should be.  Let me know if this fixes the issue.  If yes, then I will update my codebase to include the change.

I should have been more specific, sorry for the misunderstanding. q2admin or it's functionality is a requirement for Wallfly to function. Not just the server string. The server string is merely the indication that q2admin as a cascade dll is present and functioning.

Here's the last version for quadz' fork of it, with some maintenance by me.

Here is my fork of it with further maintenance.

Use as you see fit.

P.S. Wallfy maintenance is in progress. Expect reactivation in a day or two.

[Maraakate]

Yes, understood.  However, the rcon commands and various text filtering, etc. from tsadmin was added years ago to my code.  Apparently the serverinfo string requirement to the protocol appears to be new?  In any case, I will double check the code and add the serverinfo requirement; though I'm assuming since it worked fine for many years until recently this check appears to be what is missing.

Thanks and PS is there a new place you guys are at?  The TS IRC channel seems to be inactive and nobody replied to me in there.

[QwazyWabbit]

I cannot say the infostring is a requirement. The wallfly doesn't actually look for it as far as I know. I used it to see if you had q2admin installed but if you have all its functionality built-in to q2dos then ignore it. Wallfly is being tweaked and claire may have it reconnected to your server soon.

[Maraakate]

Do you know if Claire has brought WallFly back up, and specifically if it is reaching out to non-tastyspleen servers again?  I have yet to see it appear.

If there's a discord or some other place you guys are at I can join there to make this easier instead of a thread.  It looks like the IRC is pretty inactive these days.  Even the bot on ts no longer updates the chat messages from the WallFly servers.

[Maraakate]

I don't know if this is still true, but at least until it stopped working WallFly used rcon as a way to communicate partially with the server.  I had filtering enabled in q2dos to hide rcon requests from the WallFly IP.  I turned this off and I see no rcon attempts coming from WallFly.  Did this change?  Or maybe Claire does not have it communicating to me, yet.

I have not changed anything in code or firewall/routing in years, so I do not suspect this as the problem.
