World Crash Rebooter

well it seems to be working now.. thanks.. another thing when it resets the server does it give an in game warning? and if not would it be hard to do that? maybe telnet to the server and broadcast server coming down half hour before and maybe 10 and 1 mins before?

great program found a problem though.. the test telnet worked just fine. but when it whent to broadcast for the real shutdown i got an error.. this this is what it says.

Error brodcasting: system.invalidoperationexception: sendkeys cannot run inside this application becuase the applacation in not handling windows messages.
Either change the applicacation to handle messages, or use sendkeys.sendwait method.
at system.windows.forms.sendkeys.send(string keys, Control control, boolean wait)
at system.windows.forms.sendkeys.send(string keys)
at eqemutools.eqemutools.brodcast(string delay)

also in case it matters. i set the restart time to 0.15 so i could see how it works kinda a test. i don't know if that would have caused it or not but figured i would let you know.

Yea I've been getting that too - and i'm trying to figure out what i missed.

putting in .15 will just make it restart in 9 minutes (60*.15), it'll accept any numerical value - though i'm not sure what would happen with a negative value.

OK, updated the code - it shouldn't hang at that point anymore.
i also included a debugging line so that if it does, it should tell you at what point it's having problems.

its working great now.. i did notice one problem it brodcast the same message 2 times and the 1 min broadcast is saying it 2 times also once at 1 min then again right before it shuts down.. it did it for 5 mins also.

not a big deal it works great but figured you may wish to know.

I cannot seem to d/l from your links. Mind if I mirror them from my site when I do get them? Unless they are changing rapidly, we could mirror when you are done.

Spider,
Yea I noticed that too - and I think I know why - i'm actualy surprised it's not broadcasting 3 times tbh.

I'll work on playing with that and get it to broadcast only once.

I guess it could be seen as a 'feature' in that if you're in the midst of battle-spam you may not see the 1st one! =)

John,
the links aren't changing. they're from my server, I just keep posting them so folks don't have to go hunting through the threads - but you're welcome to mirror them. Let me know if you're still having problems.
