Coconut's dynamic campaign hardcore and casual

[Thad]

The problem is obvious. The Russians are tampering with Coconuts' server. This must be investigated by Special Online Gaming Council.  ?

[Black-Witch]

I tried to log on to your stat's page just now and my malware protection blocked the page, it's never done that before, it's warning of a PHARMA SCAM

Hi Coconut.....There must be something wrong with the server. There were only 3 players on (all allies) and I was disconnected for a third time. It really is unplayable if this carries on.

Like Black-Witch, I also cannot access the Stats page.

I think maybe Trump is getting his own back against the Russians

The site has been up for a couple hours, even if it were infected, I doubt antivirus providers would have had the time to include me in their black list. Maybe the previous user of that IP did shady business

My Malwarebytes also stopped me joining the  Expert server, as well as the stat's page, I stopped running malwarebytes and then I could get in, BUT, I don't fancy running my PC without malware protection. so no coconut for me!

I can get into the server to fly but I cannot access the stats site.  It times out.

 

EDIT: Apologies.  If I use the link you posted on Discord I do get into the sats page.

Hi Coconut,

 

on the normal server there is a bug with the buildings. When I Fly as an axis pilot, russian buildings don´t appear, while the buildings on the blue side are modelled.

Hi Coconut

On the 'Normal' server, it is still kicking us out 20 minutes early. Is that because it is a different server?

Also, after waiting 20 minutes, the server has still not restarted. Any ideas when it will restart, please

I tried to enter the coconut site yesterday (no way) and today I have found my PC infected by Pharma (adware appearing). No problem, it has been solved in 10 minutes with Malwarebytes, but this is a confirmation that the site is infected.

 

UPDATE: Once installed Malwarebytes, it detects also the malware not only in the website, but also when trying to access the game server (coconut's campaign). So, this is also infected (I guess it is the same server for the website and the game files...)

What is the "coconut site"? Do you mean joining the server from the game, looking at the stats, (ports 8080 and 8081) or going to the hangar page (port 8083)?

But now I receive the warning also when trying to connect through the game to the "dogfight server". As soon as the files downloading starts, I get the warning 

 

I mean the expert server, not tried the normal one

There's nothing on coconutside.eu:81, if you got a virus, it wasn't from there. The new address is coconutside.eu:8081. You are getting a warning because your antivirus has the IP address blacklisted, and all the servers (game and stats) are run from the same machine.

I'm checking if there's anything running on the server that shouldn't be there, but so far all seems clear.

Well, if I try to access the new address, coconutside.eu:8081, I also get the warning:

 

However, I have read the message in detail and maybe this is different from the adware I had. The message from Malwarebyte relates your site to "websites that traffic in fake or illegal medication. These sites may also sell legal medication, but in violation of local laws. "

 

Maybe it is just a false positive, and my adware came from a different site.

I've contacted malwarebytes, hopefully this will be sorted out soon.

It's not clear to me if @No.85_Camm was being blocked by Norton, but I've checked on their site and apparently it's not listed or blocked.

Towards the end of a mission, a window appears stating that there is 20 minutes left    and yet...within a few seconds, the mission ends. So when a window appears stating that there is 20 minutes left, in actual fact, there is only seconds remaining.

Also Coconut, will there come a time when the 'Normal' server will be on for longer than it is now? This week, it seems to be down more than it is 'up'.

I don't think  Norton has blocked anything. At least it hasn't warned me of any threats.

That's by design. The mission is 3h long, but it takes 2 to 15 minutes to generate the next mission. There's an extra 15 minutes (IIRC) in the round that don't matter for the campaign on top of the mission, just so people don't have to stare at the server list for 15 minutes.

It should stay up now, unless bugs happen.

Good to hear. The report on Malwarebytes appears to be a negative. Once I've confirmed with the provider I'm the sole user of that IP, I hope I can get it clear from MB's black list.

 

In any case I think I'll try another provider after the summer. After some searching I think I can get faster and cheaper.

The stats server doesn't know about mission and campaign wins. Some time in the future we might get something better suited to the dynamic campaign system, a bit like what TAW does.

That's because I had not added the ship type names (from the log) to the system. Now it's done, let me know it still doesn't work.

Hello Coconut,

 

we enjoy your server pretty much and like the game setups.

 

Still I want report some issues.

 

I noticed in the last time that some bombs are not exploding (also sometimes not those which I dropped from 800m -> no to "low" argument possible imo)

 

Some days ago over Stalingrad, we attacked an enemy airfield, FLak were shooting on us. I attacked a flak and got a "friendly fire" message.

 

More often recently, I got kicked from the server (not the game or internet).

 

I can remember some days ago, where I dropped a 1800kg bomb and it exploded like a 50kg bomb without leaving any crater and destroying ground objectives (which it should as I hit them).

 

 

Personally I think your server is the best out there and the people are polite and great feeled 95%, so thank you again for your server ?

Also, I see the Normal server is down again. Any idea why it went down and when it will be back up again?

As I remember you just need to paste trigger on the map to give stats to understand who win the mission.

Could be a netcode issue, in the past I've noticed that damage to buildings can be delayed, and not everybody sees it at the same time.

Could also be you dropped too low. I'm not sure 800m is enough for a very large bomb.

In the chat you mentioned a game crash. What do you mean? It's important to be precise, or you'll get me to waste time investigating the wrong issue:

 

- Kicked: Forced disconnection by the server. On my server that happens if you are idle or take off in a plane you are not allowed to take off in

- Lost connection: Disconnection due to network issue

- Crash: Back to desktop, possibly with a "this application stopped working" dialog.

 

If you got kicked when you were not supposed to, then I need to look at my code

 

If you lost connection, and it's not just you, I need to switch provider, but there's no way of knowing which works and which doesn't, and it can change over time

 

A crash is a game bug. Not much I can do, maybe remove stuff from my missions, but I'd rather not do that unless I know for sure what's causing the problem.

 

It would be nice if DServer could produce some sort of network statistics, to have an objective measure of network quality.

 

[85_Hawker]

Hi coconut went into the normal server this morning but after about 4 to 5 mins it kicks me  out of the mission it tells me connection lost every time this has never happened before this happened 5 times on a row given up for now.

[coconut]

Anybody with connectivity issues, if it's not too much trouble, please do the following:

1. Open a command prompt: Windows + R then type "cmd" (without the quotes)
2. In the window that appears, type "ping -n 25 coconutside.eu" (without the quotes) and see how much packet loss you get. I don't have any losses. You can try larger values than 25 if you want better results, but you'll have to wait longer. I don't mind it, I don't think it will affect the site's bandwidth significantly.
3. Then type "tracert coconutside.eu" (without the quotes) and see if the delay values look alright. For me they are below 5ms, but I'm close to the server.

Probably better to not post screenshots or unfiltered tool outputs here. I don't think you'd be at higher risk than you already are by connecting to the internet, but it's always better not to attract too much attention with your IP.

 

I won't leave ICMP traffic open for ever on the server, so don't wait for too long before doing this if you want (to) help.

[No_85_Gramps]

I tried both from Virginia. No packet loss, but delay values grow substantially the farther away from Virginia. Test complete in 18 hops. Hops 12 thru 18 were in the range between 103 - 139. I haven't experienced any connection losses recently, however, last week I was getting some but I'm pretty sure they were related to my ISP.

Played Coconut expert server the last few days.... had an issue getting on today, kept timing out on the "downloading files" message. Tried a few times, then decided to restart the entire game and try again and got logged on first attempt. No issues playing the game that I could tell.

 

The only issue I have is trying to access the Statistics link.... keeps timing out and can't connect. 

 

Am enjoying the missions and gameplay.

 

location is Qld Australia.

@Tigerprawnmake sure you are using :8080 instead of :81 in the url, and :8081 for the normal stats

Yep, that worked...... http://coconutside.eu:8080/en/

Thanks.

Hi Coconut,

 

While I really enjoy your server, I do like to see my statistics, BUT, I can't see statistics for yesterday afternoon/early evening map.

The last statistics shown online are for the map when I flew from

Start Time: 14:48
End Time: 15:41 

There are no statistics for my flight after that. I believe the Server re-started around 15:45.

 

Cheers

Considering how easy it is:

• to camp the nearby base(s) for players spawning in, --->(A very common tactic it seems)
• to despawn at any time vs. having to go back to a base and land to despawn,
• to rack up tank kills,  ---> (As an example, Tailwheelbrownbear was able to get 80+ tank kills in a single mission. In comparison, I can get normally 12-15 tank kills in the IL-2; that's a 6 to 1 ratio.)
• and to basically stop any real ai attack;

I think having tanks give points and/or stats is a bad idea.

 

Are you asking if transporting bombs from a well supplied base to an not so well supplied base? If so, then yes, transports give you credits (but not stats). Or are you asking if transporting troops to a tank battle [and dropping them off correctly] will award you points? If so, then I believe no, but only because (I believe) the current log system does not have a means to track troops dropped.
