Knights Tavern jaunumi

Knights Province Alpha 11 drīzumā būs gatavs, un ir pienācis laiks runāt par vēl vienu unikālu funkciju, kas tai būs: Knights Tavern!

Knights Tavern (saīsināti KT) ir kontu servera koda nosaukums, ko esam izstrādājuši kopš 2019. gada. Konti bija viena no biežāk pieprasītajām funkcijām KaM pārtaisīšanā, taču mums nekad nebija pieredzes vai drosmes, lai to ieviestu (labi, daudziem iemesli). Tika veikti mēģinājumi KP, taču tas neizdevās vēl nesen, kad pienāca laimīgā iespēja (raksta veidā (https://habr.com/ru/post/491272/) un kodu repozitoriju (https://github.com/Cooler2/ApusEngineExamples)). Now, knowing that the backend server can be developed in the same language as the game, KT is finally taking its chance to come true. Neat thing about KT, is that it can be used for both KaM Remake and Knights Province. Both games are very much alike in terms of accounts info they provide and can benefit from. So we can safely build KT in such a way that it allows for a single account for both Knights Province and KaM Remake. Register once and play twice. KP is our testground for the KT. Once it is sufficiently tested, KaM Remake can be upgraded and start using it too. You can help with KT playtesting right now, but more on that later. Basic auth functionality is mostly covered: KT has player accounts that can be registered, activated, logged in to and logged out of, forgotten passwords can be reset. For a proof of concept, KT can report how many player accounts it has and how many players were active within the last hour. The first useful feature in KT are mission highscores. If a single-player mission was prepared by the mapmaker in a specific way (2 lines of script, one dynamic and one static), the game can submit the mission’s winning score to KT and later on show the player his ranking in that mission.

Word of caution, KT is still in beta and might have bugs in all different areas. We hope to iron them out over time. That’s why we start testing with simple functionality, so flaws in the authentication (which there must be) can be fixed. So, since there might be bugs and weak spots, do not use your everyday life passwords for KT. KT future allows for many interesting things:

• Draugi, tÅ«lÄ«tÄ“ja ziņojumapmaiņa, vestibila ielÅ«gumi, klani utt
• SpÄ“lÄ“tāju reitingi un reputācija, ELO punktu skaits utt.

KT mums izvirza jaunus izaicinājumus:

• Tas ir jākodÄ“ asinhroni, lai datu pieprasÄ«jumi nepalÄ“ninātu vai neiesaldÄ“tu spÄ“li.
• SpÄ“lÄ“tāja dati ir jānodod un jāuzglabā droÅ¡i (mÄ“s jau izmantojam sāļus un jaucÄ“jus)
• Mums bÅ«s jāsaglabā spÄ“lÄ“tāju dati par jauninājumiem un starp spēļu versijām

Best of all – you can already try out KT and help us improve it! See the latest KP wip builds (available on Discord https://discord.gg/cEwJFSY). LÅ«dzu, ziņojiet par jebkādām kļūdām vai trÅ«kumiem. Esam atvÄ“rti arÄ« ieteikumiem par KT funkcionalitāti. Tas var virzÄ«t to daudzos virzienos, un vislabāk bÅ«tu izvÄ“lÄ“ties tos, kas ir vairāk pieprasÄ«ti.
