CRS wiretap is down and needed urgently to make this game work!

[docattak]

The title says it all - this really is extremely urgent!

[yankdog]

This!

[docattak]

I'm training guys tonight and the main part is using the wiretap info, so come on guys please

[narg]

Need wiretap

[docattak]

CRS - it's a pretty simple job to run a short cron job automated to every 5 mins to test whether wiretap is up or down - and when down it sends a short email to all of the people who can fix it.

This is basic stuff, please ask your programmer.

This really is the one thing, apart from the game going down(!), that we need sorting as soon as it happens.

Thanks

The "Wiretap" service is provided gratis, as a courtesy, without warranty, guarantee or representation that the information service will be provided uninterrupted, without failures or error-free

I know with the various tools people have made that utilise the wiretap data we've become quite reliant on it but I don't think it's a huge priority of theirs to keep it going, maybe it should be though.

Is it even CRS' responsibility? I know originally it was just kfsone's own personal side project but maybe CRS took it under their wing while I wasn't looking.

[docattak]

Putting it back up is not at all time consuming mate - just needs someone to know it's down and kick-start it again!

[petie]

I'm sorry, we are unable to take your call at this time

Please call again when we have Finished Development of RA as that is our main priority at this time.

Or if you like leave a message and we will get back to you "Soon"

Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause

Yours

CRS

It's an essential function of the game for hc

[docattak]

Allied and Axis united - perhaps it's a CRS plot to unite the whole playerbase

Petie - nice one mate lol

[zipeh]

if the axis want wiretap then i say keep it broke .. cant be seen to agree with the enemy

(that and i am happier at work when i cant watch us lose towns all day )

[docattak]

4th day that wiretap is down - is anybody there - not even a response!

4th day that wiretap is down - is anybody there - not even a response!

Hm, i can imagine two different reasons.

1) nobody should see server population

2) BGE is not important anymore, because of RA´s

[eatthisvr6]

what is it?

[pauker]

what is it?

http://www.lagus.org/webmap/#

[docattak]

It also provides a lot of information about all the cps in AO/DO towns and K/D ratios, brigade movements etc. etc. available to both sides - anyone can use the info - both HCs use it a lot. It puts all of the info on the game map that you have to hover/click etc to find in one or two easy to read pages - if you know how to programme it

Lagus map is great for people at work to see how things are going - it keeps their interest in the game even when they cannot play - so vital in keeping player numbers up!

CRS doesnt have anything to do with it.Its a feature by KFS1.Hes not around to fix it,it will be porked.Is it good?Fantastic!BUT not CRSs fault.

S!

Speed

[docattak]

Don't think so - KFS1 uses wiretap to make the LagusOK map. Wiretap is a servoce provided by CRS to the players. Lagus is down because wiretap is down.

"World War II Online", "Battleground Europe" and "Wiretap" are Trademarks of PlayNet, Inc.

All of my programmes are down, they use CRS's wiretap data.

Nope, wiretap is a KFS1 project that he did in his sparetime.

It's not a offical CRS service and therefore has zero priority.

[petie]

Yeah Wiretap is KFS1 Project

Lagus Map is Made by the Squad "Lagus" aka Zeta

[docattak]

OK, thanks for the info but

- it would be nice to get a reply - don't see any on this forum for a long time

- it would be nice if somehow it started working again

[docattak]

5th day wiretap is down.

[faust190]

5th day wiretap is down.

Is it me or is the game falling apart ?

[docattak]

6th day Wiretap is down - still no response at all!

[docattak]

Success - we have wiretap back - thanks to whoever restarted it - could you tell is who did that please, so that we can thanks him/her - this really is the most vital game info provider the game has and is a huge help to AHC and I assume GHC as well.
