[REQUEST] Refresh clients data more often

[Guillaume351]

Hello,
I use 3 clients right now :
Hub - game1 - game2.

On hub, I get playercount of game1 and game2 using the client data of synapse.
However, the playercount is only refreshed if a new Synapse client connects to Nemisys.
So the data is not refreshed unless game1 or game2 reboots.

Would it be possible to refresh every X seconds or when a new player connects/disconnects ?

Thanks

It would also be great if the names of all online players were put into the synapse client data array
(of course only if it doesn't decrease performance).

Maybe an API to get manually informations from a certain client ... As this, it doesn't refresh for people that don't use this data.

How about you connect a useless test client to the server, which reboots everytime you want to refresh the counts?

[XFuryMCPE]

Just tested that ^^ works

@XFuryMCPE Sounds more like a workaround, I would prefer a clean solution.
But thanks for tip! 👍

The client info is the response to the HeartbeatPacket, so you can change the heartbeat time in client.

@PeratX But the heartbeat refresh data on the Nemisys server, it doesn't send the info of game1 and 2 to hub ? (In my example)

[SleepSpace9]

The line this.server.updateClientData(); is missing in the heartbeat section in Client.java.
It's only done at "case SynapseInfo.CONNECT_PACKET: ..." and that's the reason why the client data only refreshs at connect. After I put it also at "case SynapseInfo.HEARTBEAT_PACKET: ..." it works!

@PeratX Please reopen :/ @SleepSpace9 fix is working for me, could you apply it ? I don't really know how to create a clean pull request :/

@Guillaume351 If you use my fork (update to 0.15.9 still missing there) you even get a comma separated list of all Synapse players in ClientData.

You can fetch it like this:

foreach($this->getServer()->getSynapse()->getClientData() as $cdata){
    echo "Players on server ".$cdata["description"].":\n".$cdata["playerNames"]."\n";
}

I use it for my own /list command. Possibly some more people like it. 😉
