I wonder if there's a way to hook into a region module? I've seen some sims that announce "There are now 1 visitors in the region!" when you teleport in. Perhaps there's a way to hook into that which would allow for the gates to update on mass after a user comes in?

Maybe it could be done with a collision event instead of a sensor? When an avatar collides with invisible sphere (with a 10-20m radius), you know someone is near your gate, so you can start polling.

1) We don't know that it's a hypergate at all - we just surmised that it might be. 2) As for my gates not checking if no one is near it, well, that never occurred to me, to be honest. Wouldn't that require an active scanner of some sort that would chew up CPU, constantly looking for someone nearby? If so, then a simple blind check, once an hour, would be less costly, yes? If not, then perhaps it's something I should consider adding to mine.

If it is a hypergate then why should it bother to check at all if no avatar is within a certain distance of it? Once and hour or less seems more than reasonable.

            But if many people are using a copy of your teleporter
            or my gate and have them configured to, say, a popular
            grid, then they will of course, see a lot more than 24 a

                                    What kind of traffic is it? My

                                    an hour - perhaps they are doing

                                    though.



                                Thanks Shauin, and yes from the port
                                numbers begin used I expect it is
                                indeed some scripts to check for
                                things benign alive or pinging
                                hypergates, etc.

                                I wondered if anyone recognized the
                                191 second interval as well as the
                                IP address.

                                Once an hour is not too bad.. and I
                                see four or five such IP addresses
                                one of which might be your blam gate
                                for us.. e.g. 65.78.40.167

                                But every 191 seconds means my
                                Robust.exe console is now full up
                                with these debug messages when I
                                check things every so often... yes I
                                know I can turn that down to INFO
                                only being shown..

                            I can't see who they're from, however.
                            I'm guessing that was added since
                            December 5th, which is the last time I
                            updated my production grid (or maybe I
                            need to set something, so the addresses
                            show).

                            Given that my grid has a region that's a
                            popular HG hub, and that many people
                            have taken copies of the gate I have
                            out, that's configured to bring them to
                            my grid, I imagine that some of what I'm
                            seeing are those gates checking to see
                            that my grid is up. However, I think the
                            majority of it (in addition to the ~80
                            gates to other grids) is likely to be
                            the "roller-coaster" I have set up in
                            that region ... I have 100 Blamgates,
                            laying horizontally, up in the sky.
                            There is a gate on the ground, that
                            rezzes you just above the first of them,
                            and you fall into it. Then it sends you
                            to just above the next one, and so on,
                            until you get to the last gate which
                            puts you back where you started. It's
                            quite a wild ride that lasts for about a
                            minute. :) Anyway, all of them are of
                            the "check the destination" type of
                            gate, so I imagine I'm doing most of it
                            to myself. :) Oh, if you ever want to
                            try the roller-coaster, look for the
                            gate labelled "101", in Eld2. :)

                            What might be nice is a simple way of
                            turning off just this one message.
