[Wojtek]

  http://tetrisonline.pl/top/profile.php?user=wojtek
  http://tetrisonline.pl/top/profile.php
  it's very basic for now, but it display avarage apm/lpm for a day (that was very frequent request)

[Wojtek]

• TP/exp reward now depends on place
• items mode ranking

[Wojtek]

there is some small update today

• win stars will reset on room change (that got broken in recent updates)
• some small networking fix (may reduce number of unexpected disconnects)

[Wojtek]

I started to work on performance improvement, this include both adding more concurrency and optimizing lengthy operations. There is still lot do in this area, but after todays update there should be noticeable improvement.

[Wojtek]

• more of deco packs selectable (including Black theme)
• workaround (hack) to fix "strange attack" glitch
  "strange attack" is gitch that sometimes make only one player to recieve garbage if two players perform attack at about same time.
  actually i this is caused by some desing flaw in TOJ protocol (unless i do not understand something). I don't know how original server handled this if at all.
  see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IS-vC2hXUc
  however this fix may break something else, so let me know if everything is ok. this change will be reversed if i am hot happy about it.
• some networking tweak (may improve networking performance a bit)
• new room setting (this is more easter egg than anything)
  type (when you are room host and game is not in progress):
  

  Code: Select all

  /huopin on

  
  to enable Huopin Tetris(火拼俄罗斯) garbage, type:
  

  Code: Select all

  /huopin off

  
  to turn it off

I reverted workaround for "lost garbage"/"strange attack", because i think it may cause other issues, and there is lack of feedback from users about this change. in future i may develop more complicated workaround, that will have no side effects.

[Wojtek]

sorry for long time without updates. there is small update today. thanks for your support, i wish i could do more for you.

you can now reset your statistics with command:
/reset_stats password

also you can change password with command:
/password_change old_password new_password

[Wojtek]

* fixed attacks not being send in item mode (thanks Willy Celis for reporting)
* removed debug prefix from admin commands

I changed networking code, it should perform lot better especially with big number of players online. Also with laggy connection you should not expierience disconnects anymore (some players from China had this problem)
