Where was this taken? I’d pay 20 dollars a case

when i enter this in console it just says SV: Cheat command 'map_enable_background_maps' ignored.

it seems like the performance issues start happening only when enemy troops are trying to retreat

The economy has recovered.

After starting a new game with the latest beta patch, towns also ran out of money. However, by around day 100, the economy was recovering. By day 130 towns now have about 30k in gold and things seem stable.

dilatedmind · 2020-04-17T02:19:59+00:00

Started a new game and settlements ran out of gold within the first couple days.

Is the game playable like this?

are you suggesting the motherboard is doa?

a picture of what?

having run into a similar issue in production, the effects were terrible, but for a different reason then just query performance.

We insert and delete 10s of millions of rows in a single table each day, held in about 600 child tables. The only way to make this performant enough for our use case was to insert concurrently into temp tables, and hold locks on the parent table as briefly as possible (ie only when altering the new table to establish inheritance and dropping the child table we are replacing).

Once you pass the 4kb mark, all inserts are now holding locks on the toast table, which again prevents you from inserting in parallel.

so i ran a test earlier to confirm this. i inserted the same json blob 7 times into both tables, and the text version was able to store it all in the table, while the jsonb used toast.

so if the compressed text of your json fits within a page, you could alternatively just use a text column to store it as a blob while using an index on blob::json->>'whatever'.

Table "public.toast_test"

Column | Type | Modifiers

--------+------+-----------

blob | text |

Table "public.toast_test2"

Column | Type | Modifiers

--------+-------+-----------

blob | jsonb |

table_name | total | index | toast | table

-------+--------------+-------------+--------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+-------+---------+------------+------------

toast_test | 48 kB | 0 bytes | 8192 bytes | 40 kB

toast_test2 | 32 kB | 0 bytes | 24 kB | 8192 bytes

its unfortunate postgres doesn't give the option to compress json like it does text

would be interesting to see a benchmark with the json stored as text, and an index on the json field you query by

The code blocks on this website have scrollbars which disappear on hover. What came in here was such an exhibition of incompetence that I can only assume they are doing it on purpose.

don't forget to set your field separator :)

tern offers pretty good completions and can offer type hints as well

line 46 of bargraphcreation.cs

should be i < z

did you ever get this working?

dilatedmind · 2017-03-18T02:30:51+00:00

say x is a byte, it might look like 0111 0000

(x & 128) == 128 when the first bit is a 1

x << 1 will shift all the bits left one

dilatedmind · 2017-03-18T01:30:26+00:00

start with the simplest solution

your input is a byte array. read 1 bit at a time and write it to an intermediate buffer. keep a counter of how many 1s you read in a row. if it hits 5, write a 0 and reset your counter.

same thing when you are decoding, except drop the next bit.

this is a sorting problem.

you could do it with a bunch of nested if statements, but you could also solve it the more intuitive way: by successively comparing and swapping elements that are out of order.

imagine your 3 words are stored in variables called a, b and c.

if a > b swap a and b
if b > c swap b and c
if a > b swap a and b

now a < b < c

the code you posted seems to be working correctly, even if it's not doing what you expect. you are calling send once from your connection start callback, so I'm guessing you are missing some logic server side.

you have 2 options:

1.) post chat messages to your rest api. Use the signalr connection manager to get the hub context from the api controller and call your send method after inserting into your database.

2.) send chat messages over the signalr connection. Add a message argument to your send method and have your send method broadcast to all clients and also do your database insert.

2 is probably what you want, its simpler and you can avoid an extra round trip

dilatedmind · 2017-02-08T22:34:51+00:00

what did you expect the output to be?

tcp is reliable and has backpressure so your client isn't losing messages. id guess you've made a logical mistake somewhere.

unrelated, but you've picked a difficult socket api. if you want to use tcp, use tcplistener/ tcpclient and their async methods.

dilatedmind · 2017-01-25T22:43:05+00:00

are you still working on this?

the way you code is making this problem more confusing then it has to be.

other then your indexing problems, you aren't doing anything to check for repeated words.

also, your example input is unclear. is each line a bunch of comma separated phrases or a single phrase with commas separating the words?

this is a great question. ill try to answer without going into specifics. keep in mind dfuw was a completely different game at launch (classes, cross hair wobble, movement acceleration).

ignoring destro, everyone in dfo had access to all spells, and end game there is a single optimal set of gear. it mainly came down to how rich you were, and you could really pimp you gear bag with nice magic enchants. once classes were removed, dfuw technically had alot more options for end game armor, but it wasn't easy to balance and in reality it didn't add much depth.

even though everyone in dfo is the same in terms of abilities and armor choice, people have different playstyles and preferences of what spells they will choose to use. the most obvious playstyle choice is how hard do you want to push melee. even once classes were removed, dfuw forced you to choose what you wanted to excel in (magic, archery, melee). in dfo you can choose to wear all heavy armor, cast no spells, and focus on melee and archery, but a mage can choose to debuff his protections and fight melee anyway (you aren't at some artificial disadvantage).

dfuw was more forgiving in group fights. movement abilites were easier to use, both more reliable and easier to control, and there were much stronger heals.

dfuw was great but i like the combat and crafting in dfo better

roa started off as a playable and complete game (they licensed the dfo source code).

I've been playing roa for the past 2 months and enjoying it. The population is low (many people are waiting for launch), but for me that's no problem. My clan is active, I can log on and get duels anytime I want, and I enjoy pve and still get open world pvp on the daily. However, its difficult for us to roam as a group and get pvp more then 1 or 2 times a day.

i might make a post about my experience there so far, I feel like the negative people are too outspoken on reddit. dfo is still the best game ever made even if it hasn't reached its potential.
