I wonder if there's a way to hook into a region module? I've seen
some sims that announce "There are now 1 visitors in the region!"
when you teleport in. Perhaps there's a way to hook into that which
would allow for the gates to update on mass after a user comes in?<br>

As for my gates not checking if no one is near it, well,
that never occurred to me, to be honest. Wouldn't that
require an active scanner of some sort that would chew
up CPU, constantly looking for someone nearby? If so,
then a simple blind check, once an hour, would be less
costly, yes? If not, then perhaps it's something I
should consider adding to mine.<br class="">

Thanks Shauin, and yes from the

it is indeed some scripts to
check for things benign alive or

I wondered if anyone recognized
the 191 second interval as well
as the IP address.<br class="">
<br class="">
Once an hour is not too bad..
and I see four or five such IP
addresses one of which might be
your blam gate for us.. e.g.
65.78.40.167<br class="">
<br class="">
But every 191 seconds means my
Robust.exe console is now full
up with these debug messages
when I check things every so
often... yes I know I can turn
that down to INFO only being

I can't see who they're from,
however. I'm guessing that was
added since December 5th, which is
the last time I updated my
production grid (or maybe I need
to set something, so the addresses
show).<br class="">
<br class="">
Given that my grid has a region
that's a popular HG hub, and that
many people have taken copies of
the gate I have out, that's
configured to bring them to my
grid, I imagine that some of what
I'm seeing are those gates
checking to see that my grid is
up. However, I think the majority
of it (in addition to the ~80
gates to other grids) is likely to
be the "roller-coaster" I have set
up in that region ... I have 100
Blamgates, laying horizontally, up
in the sky. There is a gate on the
ground, that rezzes you just above
the first of them, and you fall
into it. Then it sends you to just
above the next one, and so on,
until you get to the last gate
which puts you back where you
started. It's quite a wild ride
that lasts for about a minute. :)
Anyway, all of them are of the
"check the destination" type of
gate, so I imagine I'm doing most
of it to myself. :) Oh, if you
ever want to try the
roller-coaster, look for the gate
labelled "101", in Eld2. :)<br class="">
