Website to see actual 3DXChat server status

The main problem with the status page is, and this no critic, i love your work for the community, that it shows the status from the asking server of yours to the route of 3DX.

This is the status of one provider, one IP and one point of the internet.

Everyone here has different providers, different IP, Firewalls, anti-virus solutions and and and whatever more.

A local tool to check the status from where the user are ... would be more helpful .. just my two cent

I see your point, especially looking at the recent latency and disconnect issues. However this is unfortunately not possible. Will become too technical to explain, but it's much more than just a regular ping that can be sent from a computer.

The current status site answers the question: Is it down for me, or is it down for everyone. Because if my status page captures problems, everybody will have them. But if my status page is all green, it's not a 100 % guarantee you'll be able to log into world without issues.

There are tools already publically available that can track the path from your own computer to a target site...all the hops and response times encountered, or blocked, etc and some even show it graphically on maps. They are called internet root tracking/tracing tools.

I gave @Jannick 's comment some thought and I think I came up with something. Now live! (in beta though)

Today's changes

• Created a self test (BETA!)
• Added Donation page

The self test is based on the requirements mentioned here. All the tests happen on client side, so the results are realistically from your system towards the servers.

[ColinDude]

Hi, did you tried to re-download the game from here: http://3dxchat.com/members/

Sometimes the update process can fail and than your 3dxChat installation is broken and will not start anymore.

[Lalicat]

heya, thx so much for your answers, but, the problem is solved, sorry, i forgot to warn you all ^^' have fun ppl =D

[ColinDude]

Just a teaser of something I'm working on right now.  (the right panel will update in real-time when you edit the code)

[ColinDude]

Just released:

• New feature: Profile editor!
• Minor changes

Edited June 28, 2023 by Gizmo

[ColinDude]

Just released:

• Added maintenance windows (announced downtime by 3DXChat staff)
  - One hour before the maintenance window start, the yellow icon will show
  - When there's an outage during a maintenance window, it gets marked as planned
• Added more details to outages
• Added planned/unplanned information

Something that I planned of adding too, is an automatic conversation to your local time. But running into some issues, will add that soon!

[ColinDude]

Just added local time conversion! I tested it with a few timezones and it looks OK. Please let me know if the local time conversion fails

[ColinDude]

Today's additions:

• Added special dialog when US game server is down but the rest of the service is up
• Added gift preview to Profile editor

Today's additions, mainly because of the "blinking light" status of today.

• Made ping tests to game servers more reliable with a "second opinion" from a secondary host

This is a huge timesaver!  Thanks as always for all your hard work to make our 3DX lives a little easier, Cheers! 

[ColinDude]

Today's changes in the Discord bot:

• If multiple servers go down at the same time, just one combined message instead of separate ones (thanks @Feuermond for the idea ❤)
  (This should solve the problem with the order of down and up status messages that happened lately)
• Status messages for US game server problems

The profile editing tool is really neat Colin!

Colin ... I am a professional developer at a major aerospace company... If you came to us and showed us this application... you would not make it to the door without a job offer in your hands.

If you see me in the game... simply say raincheck.  I will take it from there.
