An autohost thank you to Licho

[Forboding Angel]

Just wanted to say thank you for making it so that the autohosts can deal with different versions of spring!

I accidentally pushed spring 86 to my desura people and played some games today and had no problem. I didn't even know it was 86 till I saw the loading screen and thought "oh shit", but it was butter smooth! Thank you! That solves soooo many problems for me =D

You can change engine version using !setengine or it can be set to host latest versions of given git branch of engine.

People must have changed it to 86 i guess :)

[Forboding Angel]

I can change it myself???



Do you just use something like:
!setengine 87
?

This calls for epic sax guy.

Sure, that will work :)

Made your [Evo]Forboding_Angel account admin for springies.

You can also set it to use dev builds with those fgc235 versions.
If you join it with Zero-K lobby it gets the engine too so thats easy way to keep checking engine does not break your stuff.

[Forboding Angel]

Thanks much. That is great =D

Oh hey, totally unrelated, but 2 things:

1. Could you remove the evo:test autohost? My users get confused and join the wrong host (constantly). I don't really need a test autohost for that matter, if need be to run those versions vs others I can just host them myself.

2. Could you register http://springfiles.com/spring/tools/spring-features on plasmaserver?

[Licho]

1) done

2) just upload it as sdz and it willl auto register :)

[Forboding Angel]

Upload to springfiles as sdz? Ok can do.

You can change engine version using !setengine or it can be set to host latest versions of given git branch of engine.

People must have changed it to 86 i guess :)

So lets say I wanted to switch to using: 87.0.1-68-g6cefe1d (what zk is currently using)

Would I then just release an update to desura using this engine version and tell springie !setengine 87.0.1-68-g6cefe1d ?

[Licho]

Yes. However newly auto-spawned autohosts will use default config for your AH which is server-wide engine.

So if you want to change config so that all extra autohost spawned automatically or with !spawn use the same engine, let me know i will change the config.
