qw-group / qwfwd Goto Github PK

During a past GetQuad, I noticed that the "find best route" feature from ezQuake wasn't working as good as it used to. While investigating I noticed that qwfwd has a hardcoded limit of 512 servers, which it can hold from the master servers.

When GetQuad was live, there was 662 active servers and when I was testing, there was 700+.

This means that you gotta be pretty lucky that the qwfwds you need, holds the ping information for the servers you need to connect to, let alone the chain feature.

without fcommon you end up with a bunch of these:
/usr/bin/ld: CMakeFiles/qwfwd.dir/src/token.c.o:(.bss+0x448): multiple definition of `peers'; CMakeFiles/qwfwd.dir/src/ban.c.o:(.bss+0x6050): first defined here

-fcommon as compiler options solves (hides?) this issue, but we might need to look into the source code and fix it.

EXAMPLE_qwfwd.cfg should be renamed to qwfwd.cfg
and it should be improved.
There are qwfwd proxies running that don't appear on our masterservers because the server admin didn't edit qwfwd.cfg

Suggested:
set hostname "MY HOSTNAMEQWfwd" // specify a hostname
set net_port 30000 // specify UDP listening port (default: 30000)
// set net_ip // specify IP-address listen to (default: all IPs)
set sys_readstdin 0 // allows qwfwd to run in background
// set developer // enabled developer (0=off, 1=enabled)
set masters master.quakeservers.net:27000 qwmaster.ocrana.de:27000 master.quakeworld.nu:27000 qwmaster.fodquake.net:27000 // specify a list of master servers
set masters_heartbeat 1 // allow sending heartbeats to masters (0=off, 1=enabled)
set masters_query 1 // query the master server list (0=off, 1=enabled)
