Oh jeez! Look who's an Idiot now! Congrats, McGrim. Welcome to the >XI<Titanic.

He made a post before he said he would make one? None of this makes sense.

Even scrolling back, I find nothing but a statement from him that he will make such a post. Still don't see one.

That's hardly a place for an apology, and it is not the General section.

I don't see any such post in the "General discussion"

Thanks for your patience, DM2 fans. This week was crazy at work, crazy in the weather, and just plain crazy any old way you slice it. Barely enough time to play a few maps this week, but that's because most of what little free time I had was used taking the Rotation Change automation application I'm writing to the next level. This weeks rotation change was a single mouse click. Sort of. So here are your maps for the week ahead... Small Map Rotation mp_78bathroom, mp_asylum, mp_egn, mp_hospital, mp_killhouse, mp_koshiki, mp_little_town, mp_opera, mp_trainingcamp, mp_get_lost_3, mp_give_up" Medium Map Rotation mp_78stalingrad, mp_82ab_panzerwerk, mp_agx_depot2_night, mp_all_out, mp_blood_island, mp_chateau_xmas, mp_cw_dawnville, mp_ddd_wet, mp_deadwood, mp_downtown2, mp_feba, mp_haguenau, mp_kalsville, mp_kneeriver, mp_makin_day, mp_myths_farm, mp_opcenter, mp_railyard, mp_streets, mp_vm_maichau, mp_yomi, mp_byalistok" Large Map Rotation map mp_82ab_nomonha, mp_airfield, mp_ax_brecourt, mp_bessie, mp_byalistok, mp_cabu, mp_contra, mp_cw_strasbourg, mp_foy, mp_hill78, mp_kwalajein, mp_malta2, mp_oldbrecourt, mp_provence5, mp_roundhouse, mp_silesia, mp_snr_st_mengs, mp_sps_xian, mp_sub, mp_ugcarena, mp_vm_river, mp_wolfsquare" Now before you head off into the game you love to play, play The Game Of Love! It's Santana featuring Michelle Branch

Concussive maintenance to the rescue!

Welcome. You've made the big time, now, Idiot.

Hmm. Still gonna blame user error rather than an automation error. I have logs, so I'll try to figure out what went wrong. I should have just left the existing rotation go for the rest of the week rather than trying to jump in there just because I saw there was a fix in place for the redirect.

@2_MANY_BEERS - Yes, the rotations you posted just before my last post are the ones I put in last night.

I wish I had time to read all this right now. The rotation was changed last night and left to wait for the overnight server restart as has been done many times in the past. Don't know about 3 weeks of maps. I did leave the rotation before last on the server whenever it was that I did the rotation before last night. The 1st I think it was. Deleted those maps last night. I don't know what has happened here. When things are stable, I can do this with precision. When redirects and other shit goes off the rails, then gets temporarily patched and I swoop in to quickly put a new rotation in place several days late and when I really don't have the time, well, Idk, shit happens. Still not sure it's even my fault, but I'll take the blame anyway since I'm the guy responsible for the server. On the plus side, I felt confident flipping the rotation quickly last night because my script is selecting and copying the maps over on auto pilot. I get that that's the first thing everyone will want to point at as the source of this meltdown, but not so fast, okay? It's worked for several weeks flawlessly, and the whole point of automation is to reduce human error. I see nothing different about last night over the other automation runs that worked fine. And BeyondCompare told me all maps matched between the redirect and the DM2 server. I'm still thinking there's something else afoot here... I will completely re-examine everything tonight. Well, maybe tomorrow night. I have a shit-load of snow to shovel tonight. If it's running now, just let it be. I would prefer not to get a dozen set of hands in it and spend time trying to untangle any more than I have to.
