Hi Everyone,

The Nova Test Centre crashed at around 8PM EST Wednesday 10/28/09, and is currently still offline as of this posting.

We are attempting to implement an auto-restarting script to reboot the TC as soon as it crashes. However, there appears to be a bit of a problem with the script, and TA is working to resolve it before we boot back up.

Thanks for your patience. There is no ETA as of yet.

Cheers

Though the server's back, the auto-restart is still having some issues. Sit tight!

Holy ****, an auto-restart script? AWESOME! Dude seriously, some people may read this as sarcastic, but that's ****ing just too awesome. It's so gay when the server goes down for half a bloody day, simply cuz no ones around to restart it. Making it able to restart itself, so good :D

Agreed. Though I'm curious why it still says "On Leave" by his name. Maybe he's just On Leave from being Communications Director?

Also, just to be clear, can I still assume that this auto-restart (a definitely welcome function, to be sure) ONLY affects server crashes and not deadlocks? Just to avoid confusion on the part of any future readers of this thread.

Just my thoughts,
Poocho :)

An auto-restart is by no means an AI, and a deadlock technically doesn't crash the server. The auto-restart will have absolutely no way of restarting it from a deadlock, only from a simple crash.

It would be pointless to restart right after a deadlock since Devs need to retrieve deadlock logs before restarting the server.

Good. I was pretty certain of that, but I wanted to make sure it was stated for anyone else jumping on the thread.

Anyplace to find the patch notes? Asked a couple people online, and did a search, but I can't find anything. Would be nice to know of any changes made so we can test out the changes.

Blame the Jedi that show off in Cantinas across the galaxy for that. Honestly, I think it's kinda funny, even if I had a Jedi. Seriously, just don't log them on. Make another toon & test something you didn't test previously.

Remember the devs and staff are people, they DO make misteaks. Give them a little bit. It's gamebreaking to you yes, but bountyhunters have had issues of not being able to hunt jedi for longer and that is gamebreaking to many of us. Boba needs to be tuned down some, and mabey in some palces be replaced by other bountyhunters just so it doesn't look so silly. On a side note, I walked by him in Mos Entha and he was perma KDed.

I test atm a BH template, a artisan and a musician template.
I do not play this game because of the Jedi but of the fun. And atm it is no fun to play a Jedi beacuae its unplayable without MSaber & MDefender / MEnhacer.
Boba Fett is NP for Skilled Jedis, but for the Paddys its impossible to get their trainer.
Thats all I wanted to say :-)

It didn't crash or deadlock, they took it offline for updates and maintenance.

It's good to see an auto restart.

Testing for BH is obviously a priority atm. I'm sure they'll adjust the Boba Fett thing as they move along with it. But the Empire does hate Jedi. So who knows how long the crackdown will last.

quick question: if the server is set to auto restart, are there timed increments (every 6, 12, or 24 hours) or is it set to restart every time it crashes?
