Special Build! - Ben - 02-07-2014 12:38 PM
For anyone wanting to test it out, there is a special build here http://forum.spherecommunity.net/sshare.php?srt=4 built from revision 1777 of the svn that has all time related functions changed to INT64 from the regular INT32.
A lot had to change for this to happen, so this is why I want to have it tested before it gets commited to the rest of the svn to see if I messed it up

It's mostly for fixing this bug http://tracker.sphere.torfo.org/bugs/view.php?id=1447
This one here http://tracker.sphere.torfo.org/bugs/view.php?id=1895 is the same bug but with a better explanation of how it works.
I also had to change a lot of internal stuff, so now even TAGs can have 64bit intergers which is a max value of 9223372036854775807.
If this is successful... there should be no more timer issues for the next 29247120867 years to come instead of having to reset the server's age every 7 years.
And as for this...

I'll come back 29247120867 years in the future just to check that ¬¬
RE: Special Build! - Ben - 02-08-2014 12:30 PM
oh and one more thing...
one good way to test it properly would be to open spherechar.scp and change the TIME= line to 2147483647.
That's the max time the server WAS able to have before and was causing issues with timers when it got close to it.
This will make the server's age higher then was previously possible... which would then cause a lot of internal processes to use higher numbers too.
