I was considering handling it by somehow transferring the players connection over to a 'temporary server' (a 'keepalive' connection if you like) while the reboot took place; just to remove the inconvencience of reconnecting after. I'll be using a custom client more likely than not, as well as allowing normal clients, so this could just as easily be partly client-side, and an optional extra. At anyrate it was more one of those ideas where you go 'Oh, X would be cool', rather than something very useful. :) -- Regards, -Matt Chatterley Spod: <A HREF="http://user.super.net.uk/~neddy/spod/spod.html">http://user.super.net.uk/~neddy/spod/spod.html</A> </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <UL><LI><STRONG>References</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A NAME="00853" HREF="msg00853.html">World Persistence, flat files v/s DB v/s ??</A></STRONG> <UL><LI><EM>From:</EM> s001gmu#nova,wright.edu</LI></UL></LI> </UL></LI></UL> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00892.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Parlez vous NPC?</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00894.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] World Persistence, flat files v/s DB v/s ??</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00871.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] World Persistence, flat files v/s DB v/s ??</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00881.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] World Persistence, flat files v/s DB v/s ??</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="index.html#00893"><STRONG>Date</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thread.html#00893"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> <ul><li>Thread context: <BLOCKQUOTE><UL> <LI><STRONG>Re: [MUD-Dev] World Persistence, flat files v/s DB v/s ??</STRONG>, <EM>(continued)</EM> <ul compact> <ul compact> <LI><strong><A NAME="00820" HREF="msg00820.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] World Persistence, flat files v/s DB v/s ??</A></strong>, Vadim Tkachenko <a href="mailto:vt#freehold,crocodile.org">vt#freehold,crocodile.org</a>, Sun 22 Mar 1998, 18:34 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00824" HREF="msg00824.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] World Persistence, flat files v/s DB v/s ??</A></strong>, Matt Chatterley <a href="mailto:matt#mpc,dyn.ml.org">matt#mpc,dyn.ml.org</a>, Sun 22 Mar 1998, 19:24 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00853" HREF="msg00853.html">World Persistence, flat files v/s DB v/s ??</A></strong>, s001gmu <a href="mailto:s001gmu#nova,wright.edu">s001gmu#nova,wright.edu</a>, Mon 23 Mar 1998, 19:44 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00871" HREF="msg00871.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] World Persistence, flat files v/s DB v/s ??</A></strong>, Joel Dillon <a href="mailto:emily#cornholio,new.ox.ac.uk">emily#cornholio,new.ox.ac.uk</a>, Tue 24 Mar 1998, 08:14 GMT </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00893" HREF="msg00893.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] World Persistence, flat files v/s DB v/s ??</A></strong>, Matt Chatterley <a href="mailto:matt#mpc,dyn.ml.org">matt#mpc,dyn.ml.org</a>, Wed 25 Mar 1998, 08:40 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00881" HREF="msg00881.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] World Persistence, flat files v/s DB v/s ??</A></strong>, Vadim Tkachenko <a href="mailto:vt#freehold,crocodile.org">vt#freehold,crocodile.org</a>, Wed 25 Mar 1998, 04:53 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00924" HREF="msg00924.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] World Persistence, flat files v/s DB v/s ??</A></strong>, J C Lawrence <a href="mailto:claw#under,engr.sgi.com">claw#under,engr.sgi.com</a>, Wed 01 Apr 1998, 00:49 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00827" HREF="msg00827.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] World Persistence, flat files v/s DB v/s ??</A></strong>, Ben Greear <a href="mailto:greear#cyberhighway,net">greear#cyberhighway,net</a>, Sun 22 Mar 1998, 20:05 GMT </LI> </ul> <LI><strong><A NAME="00812" HREF="msg00812.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] World Persistence, flat files v/s DB v/s ??</A></strong>, Matt Chatterley <a href="mailto:matt#mpc,dyn.ml.org">matt#mpc,dyn.ml.org</a>, Sun 22 Mar 1998, 12:44 GMT </LI> </ul> </LI> </UL></BLOCKQUOTE> </ul> <hr> <center> [ <a href="../">Other Periods</a> | <a href="../../">Other mailing lists</a> | <a href="/search.php3">Search</a> ] </center> <hr> </body> </html>
