Crazyforiphone Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Suggestion Name: automatic server restarts Suggestion Description: basically having the server automatically restart every 6 or 12 hours. This will make it so if the server was to go down and the devs are asleep, they can turn the server back on. Also maybe add a control panel for high up admins to start the server. This would probably also "clean up" any lag or people sitting afk once afk zones are added. Any example images: n/a Why should it be added?: so we do not need to wait for a dev if the server goes down, just till the next schedualed restart. Also admins would be able to start the server but not shut down or restart. Just start it back up if it goes down and no devs are available.

PursuitGamer6 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Ehm, when it's offline, how can the server make commands for hisself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andilind Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 +1. This could reduce alot of lag. Ehm, when it's offline, how can the server make commands for hisself? When the servers starts up again, they will start over at the same time as the config says. It would be like a normal config file. This is how that works.

Chrisszzyy Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Ehm, when it's offline, how can the server make commands for hisself? By running a cron job on the physical server which checks to see whether the server software is running/perform functions. Not rocket science and very easy to do.

Aragon Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 This topic is pretty old, but I don't think admins should be able to restart the server, that's the Server Administrator's job. I'm not sure about the restarts though, then everyone would have to restart their game which is annoying! Then when they all come back there's going to be flying trucks everywhere due to rapid spawning trucks... Signature made by Aestrial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazyforiphone Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 Restarts could happen at a low pop time or have it so it sends a message that the servers are restarting but the game will automatically reconnect them. I don't think it should auto-reconnect until they get a ghost mode worked out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SΣB. Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I think it is a good idea. But somehow has to be implemented to not disturb the game play to much. For example the server can automatically restart at specific time and when the population on the server is less then 2%. Also when the server comes back online we should have a 4-5 min of Global Non-Collision zone with chat announcement like: -[ETS2MP]-Global Non-Collision zone ends in 23 seconds, drive to a safe spot. Some say the world will end in fire / Some say in ice / From what i've tasted of desire / I hold with those who favor fire But if it had to perish twice / I think i know enough of hate / To say that for destruction ice / It also grate And wold suffice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyforiphone Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 I think a restart could be managed well when or if they ever add the ghosting to your truck on spawn in. It will just have you be diconnected. Tell you it is a schedualed restart. And you can keep playing and as soon as it pops back up you will be reconnected automatically in ghost mode.

J&B^ Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 The servers are stable. I do not think its necessary to restart daily. Best regards, J&B^ I'm actually in-Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creatured Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I dont like this idea since the servers are stable enough and personaly i find it very anoying when servers restart every 12 hours cuz in the vacation it might be full all the time In Game Status: || || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorkal1ty Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Maybe not each 6h but a daily (or once each 2 days) in a concrete hour for all of us to know, and with some chat notification like "server restarting in 10 mins" etc... I´m agree with it. Moreover, like @Crazyforiphone said, there´s no need for players to restart, as the game will loose connection and keep on attempting to connect. A server restart shouldnt take much longer so you could connect again in a couple of minutes. People driving in convoy should stay their speed and it´s better to stay somewhere for a break parked in those AFK zones (hope they come son) like rest areas, etc. +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scar Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 This is not going to happen, mainly because this would ruin the experience of the players. Some players tend to have longer sessions or just live in different timezones and would then be annoyed by this. If a restart is really needed, we just summon a developer and he will take care of it.
