Still Here...

Well it's been over a year since the last post, so just dropping in to say we are still here... And there is still parts of the website that are broken, and there is still parts of the gameserver that are broken as well as a lot of things that are outdated.. and there is still no chance that I will be fixing any of this stuff any time in the foreseeable future.

And on that note, the AvaMods 16th anniversary is next week (Feb 1st), pretty crazy to think that much time has passed since AvaMods came to be. Oh how life is so much different now than it was back then.

The only game I play now is Enlisted.. So if you play it too, look me up (diamondoptic) and you can ride my coattails for a good score/XP

..but anyway I hope everyone is doing well and let's see how long it takes for me to make another post here...

So here is what's going on with the server...

I wasnt aware for a while at first about the issues involving the DoD server but there appears to be some sort of failure all of a sudden with the automatic starting/restarting of the server.

I cant figure out what the heck changed to break it and on top of that the whole machine is under constant attack so I can very rarely even access it at all to even try and fix anything.

Not much else to say lol, but figured I should make an overdue post about it. I can't promise that things will ever get fixed as it is no where near a priority for me and the amount of time and effort I would have to put into it just isn't an option for me now.

So if you see the server up, don't assume its all rainbows and unicorns because it will likely go down for another extended period of time until I A) notice it and B) can actually access the damn thing to restart it manually.

An update on the last post...

Well I have managed to find a way to force a slightly older PHP version on the site & forums that is sort of working. I think I've resolved most of the errors but I am sure some more will likely pop up, but so far it appears everything I have checked is working again. I could still move things to another server where I have full control over the available PHP versions but that is not something I'm willing to tackle just yet.

If anything is broken, feel free to contact me about it....

Just checking in...

So it has been quite a while since anything has been done around here. Updates to the server and stuff like that will probably never happen at this point as I do not have the time nor the desire to be bothered with it all. There is also a possibility that things may be changing or just going away here in the near future.

The company that is hosting most of the AvaMods related stuff has decided to tell me that in 30 days they will only allow sites to use the latest php version and all previous versions will no longer be available to use. This will completely break most of the AvaMods related sites (in addition to a few other things I am hosting on this server). Updating the sites to work with the latest php is not a realistic option. I would have to go through 10's of 1000's of lines of php code and make an unfathomable amount of changes, most of which I do not know how to even do anymore as I am not up to speed on the major changes that have happened to php in recent years.

So there is only a few options that I see to deal with this. None of which will be quick and/or easy to do in anyway at all. And I certainly do not have the time to do any of it. So while I do plan on doing a full backup of all the webserver stuff (about 65GB), I do not see myself being able to realistically do anything about all this. So right now it seems that the AvaMods website and everything will quite likely no longer be available after August 30th.

I *may* make the bare minimum effort and get the sites up and running past that date, but if that happens it is likely that all of the downloads and larger collections of files will no longer be online.

We'll see what happens over the next month. I really would like to keep this stuff all up and working (for some unknown reason), but I'm not too sure it is worth the amount of effort that it would take to do so.. I guess we'll find out soon enough...

Happy New Year from AvaMods!

Nothing much has really happened here in quite a while, but AvaMods is still alive in a sense. Maybe in the near future I can actually get some updates pushed through to the game server, but to be honest thats quite unlikely.

But anyways... Here is hoping 2021 turns out a lot better then 2020 did!

ReHLDS & GeoIP Updated

The Day of Defeat server has been updated to ReHLDS v3.7.0.696 and the GeoIP database has been updated to the May 26 2020 build.

Not really much activity on my end lately.. Surprised?
