a111: Logged on 2019-05-28 09:13 mp_en_viaje: the elegant solution for this would be for the client to keep a list, "items the server mentioned, we asked for but never received usable answer therefore using a default", and either go through it whenever convenient (eg, when player goes afk) or else even expose a button for player to do himself).

a111: Logged on 2019-05-28 12:07 diana_coman: my proposal was to have the Requester ask "what are a,b,c" and move those three objects into a "pending" queue; when another request for them arrives, that's fine; when requester wakes up, it checks and prunes any that meanwhile are there so it doesn't ask again for stuff it meanwhile got

a111: Logged on 2019-05-28 12:06 diana_coman: and now re waste traffic: at t1 there are requests for obj a, b, c; at t2 Requester wakes up and asks the server "what are a, b, c", drops those as "done" and goes back to sleep; at t3 there is another request for a,b,c so Requester puts them back in its queue; at t4 a,b,c arrive; at t5 Requester wakes up and ...asks the server again "what are a,b,c?" because well, they are there in the queue, right?

a111: Logged on 2019-05-28 08:49 mp_en_viaje: practically, yes it;s undesirable, but the overwhelming consideration is that this undesirableness can not be managed for the client by the server, because the server suffers from a serious knowledge problem wrt it.

a111: Logged on 2019-05-28 09:12 mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-27#1915700 << if your argument is actually "the client should asynchronously ask for all data it uses defaults for AT SOME OTHER TIME than in the middle of heavy gameplay, such that all the complex gfx of everyone's armors, mounts and flying dildoes are downloaded piecemeal and while sitting around, rather than en masse whenever teleporting to a large market town" you have a solid point. but it's

a111: Logged on 2019-05-27 22:58 diana_coman: basically I don't actually think that "needed 100 times" SHOULD translate into "send 100 requests to the server" ; something is either needed or not; it might be more needed than something else, sure but that's a relative (and changing) ordering of requests at most, not a traffic-generator essentially.

a111: Logged on 2019-05-27 22:54 diana_coman: if that armor of the stars is requested once then it's wanted *anyway* so what's the point in not tracking it where the request is assembled and instead having it tracked through repeated requests; after all this "oh, still not have it" is anyway still a look "is it in the cache now?" just that it's pushed higher up

a111: Logged on 2019-05-27 22:51 diana_coman: while this has the advantage of being very simple indeed, all it does in fact is that it pushes the complexity a bit higher up at the added cost of a lot of waste traffic

a111: Logged on 2019-05-27 22:41 diana_coman: anyway, if it shouldn't even retry the correct way to put it is that it doesn't *care* at all about the result; i.e. it sends the request, it goes to sleep for timeout interval and then when it wakes up it simply makes and sends the next request, without any care in the world re anything
