MasterRater Update

Filed under: Premier League

Here's the latest post by Demishadow on the Premier forums about the work he's doing on MasterRater and the new bot server:

Ok, as people have noticed... the new MR is somewhat up and running. It looks to be handling the essentials. Ohh, please ignore any testing lines you see.

I would -suggest- using subspace.masterrater.com to navigate to it. There are other domain names that do it (sspremier) but I have some other future potential uses for those.

Advanced boxscores are not working right now. The way MR handles it is valid and secure in the linux realm but is not in the windows world. That means some of it has to be redone... which is already in the process anyways (log parsing/ranking needed a cleanup). I dont have any solid idea when those fixes will be done. Admins can however post the scores of the game and they can also post a log for the game.

Bot-MR connection is still down. I do not have any real idea why as the accounts are setup and accepting the appropriate remote connections. MySql was updated to the newest version in the change.... so it may be related to that... or something in windows. I also tried giving the bots the later/latest versions of the mysql connection jar, but it didnt make a difference. So, im going to setup the environment for the bots on the new box and see if I can force it to give me an actual error message. Any ideas? Btw, the current MRBots you see around are being hosted on the new box. However, I havent yet set up any intelligent way for others to restart the core if it crashes.

If anyone catches any errors please post them with detailed information (error message, what you were doing, what league, etc...). A number of scripts have had to have some tweeks to work with the newer php versions and windows.... and I would be suprised if I got them all.

If there are any security faults please PM me the details as fast as possible. This is our most up to date version of the DB and I would hate for someone to be able to fuck with it.

Demi.

I've changed the MR link on the sidebar to the URL Demi suggested. From what I can see it looks good. The only problem I'm having is some of the fonts are displayed too largely in Firefox, but look fine in MSIE. With all the other bugs Demi has to go through to get all this back online I'd say this is very minor.
