Multiserver 2.0

[NightmareX1337]

Done cpp version including the changes of 2.01. Only tested a bit but seems to work well. However, the ping command does not work well in both versions as it gives a much lower value than the OS ping command. The following piece of code can't be right:

Code:

//LF2 has a inner clock, and it delays its respond if the request was sent quicker that its FPS ratio.
//So I subtract this ratio from the total ping result.
//Apparently LF2 waits 2 frames before it responds.
//I don't sure why. I will check it again when I have some time.
players[i].TotalWaitAmount -= PING_LF2_WAIT_BETWEEN_FRAMES * 2;
if (players[i].TotalWaitAmount < 0) players[i].TotalWaitAmount = 0;

So, zort just gave a great idea. How about using the system ping command instead of using LF2 to check it? In c++ I'd do it like:

Code:

system("ping some_ip");

Well... I don't know what's the rationale behind converting it to C++ but...

Anyways, calling ping command is a horrible idea because
1- it's a blocking operation
2- unnecessarily expensive since you're creating a new process
3- it's unnecessarily inefficient and stupid trying to capture and parse standard output of ping command

I would suggest using async methods of Ping class. I don't know how much it's applicable to your C++ code base though.
