Activity

is it just me or is it becoming increasingly hard to access the activity window...it seems it takes forever, and only once or twice a day can i get into it

Another problem:


Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/cantr/public_html/page.events.inc.php on line 157


on all pages. Time for Meh to lock up again?

Yeah seems like its lock down time again... and what is with the activites page? ive had tons of trouble with it.

Well if your town has a lot of projects; your bound to have a long delay, so its really yours and your fellow chars fault. i.e. Kwor+Karnon. The places we're my chars have say, I am proud to say my activity page works very fast, without much hassle, even when 10 people wanna do jobs, because they are told to work together, or on older projects, and my char always tries to make sure the bodies are cleaned away asap.

On the activty page I do not know what it going on there.

The events page is fixed.

[Mavsfan911]

thats probably true considering Bhak has about 100 different "burying so and so" projects and tons of collecting sugar projects that people never finished after the massacre

I understand the idea that a long list of projects slows the page tremendously, but I have characters in places where there are less than 10 projects total, and the page is slow. Not several minutes slow, but 10-20 seconds, and I have a cable modem. Most other pages load before I take my hand from the mouse. Since all pages are database driven, is the database for activities a different database? That would explain why just that page is slower than the rest. I would also then assume that all of the projects in the Cantr world are in that database, meaning that ALL unfinished projects are slowing down the pages from ALL places.

Am I close, or did I assume too much?

*stares blankly, trying to get some sense out of it.*

I have a 56K so its hell on me, the pages take longer to load, hence wasting more minutes. I can tell the difference, because at school, the T1 Cable sends me there and back in a minute.

The way I see it, is if you have a highway with only one worker, and everyone rides that highway and litters a bunch of crap, of course people are gonna be slowed down, as the highway breaks down and you have to avoid the litter, and no one wins. Hope the analogy fits. =D

The activities page is the most complex display because it is bringing back a list of porjects, highlighting which ones are being worked, and giving the name of the people as your character knows them as for the ones standing nearby.

As such it is most sensitive to server loads.

Shorter is better but no need to change your RP style. But a clean freak here and there....

Also be aware of the difference between when a turn starts to run and when it stops. While a turn is processing it is a load on the server.

Some clean up that is not visible in the game was just completed.
