Hi everybody ! =D

I've an APE Server for my MMO Project.

I've two question on that :
- If two APE users (or more) send a request on APE which send a raw at
all users, the server send the two (or more) raw in one ajax request
or in two ajax request ? :o
- I'm trying to uptdate the positions of my users directly on APE, and
save the positions in a MySQL Base by a HTTP Request (because MySQL
don't work, i don't know why... :/), only when the user leave the APE
Server. (Before his destruction.) How can I do ? :o

Sorry for my bad english, I'm french and I hope that anyone can help
me. =D

Thanks a lot ! :)

Salut,

Pour la 1ère question, je ne suis pas sûr à 100%, mais je dirait que deux "requêtes" sont envoyé. Mais je met requête entre guillemets parce que, côté APE, ça ne changera pas grand chose niveau bande passante/ressources. Je ne suis pas un expert dans cet aspect de APE.

Pour la 2e question, tu peux regarder cette page pour le event "deluser" ou peut-être "left":

http://www.ape-project.org/docs/server/events/left.html

http://www.ape-project.org/docs/server/events/deluser.html

Le fait que MySQL ne fonctionne pas est un problème connus. Fait une recherche sur le groupe google, tu trouveras peut-être réponse à ta question. De mon côté, je trouve ça plus facile de faire des requêtes HTTP ou AJAX côté client. Je peux alors utiliser mon framework PHP déjà en place.

Hi,

For the first question, I'm not sure, but I would say two "request". Still, "request" may not be exact, I'm not an expert in this side of APE, but there won't be any difference regarding brandwidth and/or ressources.

For the second question, have a look at the "deluser" and "left" event in the doc:

http://www.ape-project.org/docs/server/events/left.html

http://www.ape-project.org/docs/server/events/deluser.html

MySQL support is a know bug. You can check this google group, you might find an answer. Still, I prefer using HTTP requests or AJAX request client side. Then I can use the framework and settings of my CMS.

Hi,

The server pack all "raw" every 50ms. So if 2 raws are sent within this delay, they are packed in one request.
Also you can achieve the same effect on the client-send-side by enabling the "cycledStack". If a client are sending 2 command within a defined period, all the requests are packed in a single commands array.

See : http://www.ape-project.org/docs/client/core/request.cycledstack.add.html

Thanks,

Anthony

Hi,
Thanks all for your response.

For the first, so it's okay now. ^^

For the second, I'm going to try the deluser's event and I come back
to you if I've any problem.
Just a question :
When the event "deluser" is fired ? :o
If I've my Application on a html page and I leave my navigator, I'm
deconnected ? :o

Thanks.

In the default case (long polling), the browser closes the open request to the APE server every 25 seconds and reopens a new one. You should be able to see this in Firebug or any console (network tab) log. If you leave the browser or go to another page, this will end and after 45 seconds without news the APE server will delete the user.

I hope this helps.

Nicolas.

So if I don't leave my navigator and I don't send a request, my user
on APE would be destroy ? :o

Else, I've an other problem :
Sometimes APE give me an error "BAD_CHL".
I don't know why ?

Thanks.

Indeed, the server cleans up every ghost connections (timeout). So that if one of your user shutdown his browser, APE automatically removes it after 45sec.

BAD_CHL has been fixed. You should try to update using the last Git master.

I add that I've a second problem... D'=
I've an error "BAD_PARAMS".

I send this request (that's the request wich return the error) :
Neotopia.Pipe.request.send('PNeotopia', { cmd: "Connexion", session:
Neotopia.SESSION });

And my JS Module on APE is :
var $Neotopia = {
users: [],
Objets: [
{ 'image':'http://mydomain.fr/buildset.png','x':0,'y':
0,'tile':464,'id':1,'index':1,'collision':false },

$Neotopia.users[user.getProperty("ID_Neotopia")] = '';

pipe.sendRaw('PN_delJoueur', {
'id': user.getProperty("ID_Neotopia")
});
});
}

});

But when I send :
Neotopia.Pipe.request.send('PNeotopia', { cmd: "Connexion" });

That's return me the error 6000 : "SESSION_NOT_DECLARED".

Anyone can help me please ? :o

Thanks very much ! =D

My problems has been solved. \o/

But I've a final question... =D

When I connect my user on APE, I define his variables (MMO's
positions). But, when he don't lost the connexion (example : refresh)
and he send a second connexion, I wont that APE redefines his
variable. (APE must redefines this variables only when the user leave
APE and come back ! :/)
