Yes I did.....

(I implemented a fix from Kayle...that is why the code looks different)

As for the last part I don't get the idle disconnect message.

Your message read, when I read it:

And I will check for that last part.

I hoped you would report in a fresh message the results of that investigation. I can't really be expected to scroll back and re-read old messages in the hope that maybe information in them will change.

OK, so you didn't get the idle disconnect message, so you aren't disconnected because of that code, so making changes to it will do nothing.

Usually I've noticed the connection gets kicked off around 10 minutes. I just got kicked off again:

Why on earth didn't you mention that before? The code we are looking at has three time intervals in it:

2 minutes if you haven't entered a character name
5 minutes if you haven't started playing
2 hours if you are playing but are idle

So, a 10 minute disconnect is none of those. Also, did you try logging in as a non-immortal? Like, level 1? Are you also disconnected after 10 minutes? If so, this is nothing to do with being immortal or not, or the code we have been poring over for the last day.

Sorry, didn't realize that you had not seen that.

As for the 10 minutes thing, I thought it was related earlier to the disconnect as when I changed the values around it disconnected me after 30 seconds instead of 10 mins.

I will try my testcharacter (lvl 1) and see if it disconnects me after 10 minutes.

Ok, it's been over 11 minutes now with my test character loaded into the game and no disconnect has happened.

I was disconnected after 15 mins:

Your surroundings begin to fade as a mystical swirling vortex of colors
envelops your body... When you come to, things are not as they were.

A strange voice says, 'We await your return, Testchar...'
--- Disconnected on Sunday, May 25, 2008, 11:48 PM ---
--- Connected for 0 days, 0 hours, 14 minutes, 59 seconds. ---

The "WhisperedEcho" server has closed the connection

Logs say: Sun May 25 23:48:40 2008 :: Testchar has quit (Room 1221)

Well that looks like something else again. If you search for that message it is in do_quit, which is nothing to do with the idle timeout.

I suggest you add the line I mentioned before to comm.c:


log_string( "Player timeout" );   // <<-- add this

At least you will know for sure whether it is the idle timeout code that is responsible. I am starting to doubt it.

Ok, I'll try that. I tried changing the code to see if it would timeout:

else if( ( !d->character && d->idle > [b]360[/b] ) /* 2 mins */
|| ( d->connected != CON_PLAYING && d->idle > 1200 && (d->character->level < LEVEL_IMMORTAL) ) /* 5 mins */
|| d->idle > 120 && (d->character->level < LEVEL_IMMORTAL)) /* 2 hrs */

but I am still connected after 5 mins so I also doubt it is that. I'll report back after I see if the fix from your previous post does the trick.

I had already applied that fix in your post to the code but it is not showing up in the logs.

I am searching on Google for potential causes. I am using a Linksys router with Ubuntu.

Can we clarify something? You said you don't get the message about "idle timeout ... disconnecting", but do you always get the message you showed a few posts ago? This one:


Your surroundings begin to fade as a mystical swirling vortex of colors
envelops your body... When you come to, things are not as they were.

If you have always got that message it would have been helpful to mention it (you haven't timed out, you have been forced to quit, that isn't the same thing). And if that is always the message we have been looking in the wrong spot.

There is a place in update.c which calls do_quit for some reason - I'm not totally sure why, but it is something to do with "if( ch->timer > 24 )" - whatever that means in this case.

I only got that message after being connected with my level 1 character. I have never got that message when connected with my Immortal character.

The only message I get with my Immortal character is the sudden disconnect message and the "Connection reset by peer" message in the log.

When my test character was disconnected, it gave the message that you quoted from above and it said "Testchar quit" in the logs.

Don't know if this will help you but one of my other Imms keeps getting disconnected as well and this is what I see when he is disconnected:


Comm: EOF encountered on read.
Comm: Closing link to Hawthorne.
Hawthorne has lost his link.

Interesting....

I just got disconnected after being on for 15 and the other Imm got booted off at 10 mins.

I just uninstalled the firewall on my ubuntu machine...hopefully the problem is that simple to fix.

I'll keep you updated.

Well, looks like the firewall was the problem. I've been connected for 20 minutes now with no problem

Thank you for all your help Nick and I'm sorry I wasted your time on a fool's errand. Fortunately (depending on how you look at it), it was a simple fix that I should have seen but at least I caught it instead of wasting more time on the problem.

EDIT: For anyone reading this post I was using lokkit as the firewall if you're curious. I didn't change any rules, just uninstalled it.
