Players get kicked due to the timeout when switching maps #137

Noticeable with stuff like gen_city.lua which takes a long time to finish. We need to "pause" the time while the switch happens.

Ideally, it would still send pings, but I'm not sure if that would be possible without overly complicating something.

BR- commented 9 years ago

Perhaps we should make a pump function that long-running scripts can call periodically to handle the network buffers and whatever else ends up needing to run continuously. Or, once/if we make an event system, that can just be an event.

rakiru commented 9 years ago

Just a call to host.service() or w/e it is would probably be enough, but yeah, if we wrapped that in a generic function that needs called periodically, then anything else can get put in there too, and mods can hook it if they need to add to it.

Something like PySnip's twisted.internet.reactor.LoopingCall maybe? Would making it multithreaded cause the typical problems?

rakiru commented 9 years ago

No-one suggested making it multithreaded, and twisted isn't multithreaded.

Oops I was referring to the ping sending thing.
