Don't wait for a .quit to save the total login time

[marado]

If we have an user connected for a few months without quitting and then the server crashes, or something on that kind, he will loose all that login time, since we're only saving it once the user .q's.

I am not able to give a name. When I press any key it gives "invalid username...."

[marado]

Interesting... That's new: TalkerNode used to run well on Windows, as well as deal well with Windows' telnet.

Can you please open a new issue about this? In it, please tell me which versions of both Windows and Node.js are you using.

Can you also, please, try connecting using a MUD client instead of telnet? That will help us find out if the problem is on the server running on that combination of Windows+node version, or on the server generically dealing with connecions from the telnet from that Windows version.

Also, are you by any reason using cmder to run telnet? You might be hitting on https://github.com/Maximus5/ConEmu/issues/870 ...

[marado]

I'm also seeing a color bleed that shouldn't be there, which leads me to believe you're using (directly or indirectly) powershell to run telnet, with the symptoms of https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/issues/7767 (which would mean you're using a version older than powershell 6.2.0).

[marado]

I also tested using powershell 6.2.1 (on GNU/Linux, YMMV) to connect to TalkerNode and didn't reproduce your issue.

Amnuts has a manual way of doing this, with .save , but maybe we can find a better approach.

[dissidente]

My approach would be to use a timer to periodically save the information (ie. hourly), and use the same function for both a manual save command (.save as you suggest) and the on quit saving.

[marado]

We can go that route, yes:

• [ ] implement .save
• [ ] implement a watchdog that runs periodic functions (atm, only .save, hourly)

[dissidente]

Implemented in #107
