Greetings,
I recently set up a new pickup hockey server. (The short
version of the story is that the hockey community considered
this important given what was happening over on the previous
pickup hockey server.) I am using Vanilla-2.9pl6. The server
has been set to solicit players via the metaservers. The
.metaservers file looks like (pretty much straight out of
metaservers-HowTo):
metaserver.us.netrek.org 3521 60 120 puck.psychosis.net H 2592 2593 open
metaserver2.us.netrek.org 3521 60 120 puck.psychosis.net H 2592 2593 open
metaserver.eu.netrek.org 3521 60 120 puck.psychosis.net H 2592 2593 open
The problem: When a player logs into the server, the typical
result is for two of the three metaservers to indicate that the
server is "flooding" the metaserver, as in:
-h puck.psychosis.net -p 2592 0 * Flooding R H
(Generally, one of metaserver.us or metaserver2.us end up listing
the server with players, while the other one and metaserver.eu
end up with "* Flooding". Which of the two us metaservers ends up
flooding appears to be random.)
Whatever it is that I am doing to flood the metaservers
(and I assume that this is at least slightly antisocial behaviour)
I would like to stop doing it. I would appreciate any and all
suggestions regarding how to get my server to behave normally on the
metaservers.
Thank you for your time.
