Sept. & October (24) - Kuxii - 10-03-2024
A bit late,
but better than never.
Here's a small update on what's been happening behind the scenes over the past few days.
Let's start with the server itself:
I decided to outsource a few more services.
The lobby server showed that this works well, even with the multiproxys.
As a result, I’ve separated the Race and CRC servers.
The CRC server is almost complete and will soon enter the testing phase.
Both player and official races have been revamped again to ensure they run error-free.
The leaderboards have also been revised to guarantee that only the correct stats are recorded, and no incorrect entries can slip through.
Player photos are now almost fully completed, and uploaded house images should now display correctly.
The user blacklist has been finished as well (needed some Fixes).
The DLC system has been implemented and optimized, and several minor bugs have been fixed.
Since the project is not only about the server, some web work was necessary as well.
However, progress has been slow here, as time is currently limited, and I prefer to focus my available time on the server.
Still, a few features have been added to the new version, such as displaying the weather.
Lobbies for races and free roam have also been made much clearer.
The launcher received a couple of hotfixes as well. As you might have noticed, the server was showing as offline recently due to several DDOS attacks.
To avoid this in the future, I reworked the status ping. The latest update should also finally fix the issue where the launcher wouldn't start for some users.
Currently, a few more "core" features are being refined or fixed. At the moment, the focus is on the MyTDULive profile, which shows odd values in walkable lobbies of other players.
After that, the news section will be updated so that the CRC can be marked as complete.
The clubs have already been migrated, and some bugs have been fixed (they're now an external service).
I had originally hoped to deliver the update before my birthday, but many things would have been unfinished and untested, so I decided to hold off.
We’re not far from completing the entire project (the casino will get a full rework, and only Club vs. Club and house inviting are still missing).
