[Freeciv-Dev] [bug #18850] Mid-turn CMA changes not saved when game is saved manually
Update of bug #18850 (project freeciv): Operating System: Microsoft Windows = Any Summary: changing only cma will not be saved = Mid-turn CMA changes not saved when game is saved manually ___ Follow-up Comment #4: Could we add a way for the server to request that all clients send updated attribute blocks (containing CMA settings), to be called when a manual save is invoked? It will be fiddly, as the server would need to defer enacting the /save operation until it's got responses from all connected clients (or given up waiting). Which I think means it'll need to process more network packets in the middle of responding to the chat msg containing /save, which means we need to figure out what to do with subsequent chat messages that come in. Adding asynchrony like this is bound to introduce bugs. Still, might be worth it -- it's a bit rubbish that important user state gets lost in this situation. ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?18850 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #18850 (project freeciv): It occurs to me that there's a simple change that would help for single-player users, which is for the client to volunteer its attribute block when the user selects save game from the client menu, as it does (I believe) when it leaves a running game. This is a bit of a bodge -- it won't help with server-initiated save, or even with '/save' from chatline -- and the inconsistency is bound to confuse and infuriate someone, but on the other hand it's a simple change that can be made to stable branches (I suggest under a new ticket, keeping this one for the hard problem). ___ Reply to this item at: http://gna.org/bugs/?18850 ___ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
