I've been using screepsmod-speedup for a while. It just changes a bunch of constants to make things faster, cheaper, etc. Since the latest update the mod still works, but the updated constants are not visible to user scripts, which is problematic.

I suspect this is due to IVM. Is this something that needs fixing in the server or do mods need to be updated in some way?

Thanks.

Yes this is now fixed. Thanks.

Since the latest update my private server (steam) appears to be missing all the room thumbnail images.

I have been messing around with room generation, so it's possible I've mucked something up, but I've tried deleting everything and redownloading and it's still missing all the thumbnails. I deleted C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\Common\screeps, AppData\Local\screeps and AppData\Roaming\screeps. Have I missed anything?

Previously I found a folder full of thumbnail images somewhere, but the only screeps thumbnail folder I can find is empty.

1. At what point are thumbnails generated for the default world map?
2. How can I force the server to regenerate the thumbnail files?
3. What files should I delete to completely reset everything?

Is this a known issue with the latest update?

Thanks.

Thanks.

This leaves me wondering though - is there no API method to get the stats shown on the market page (the table at the bottom with the volume and average price for each day)?

It seems that the only way to track the order price is to call Game.market.getAllOrders() to get the list of current orders and then store these prices somewhere. It's too expensive to call this every tick, but say I called this every 100 ticks - surely I am going to miss any orders which were created and fulfilled during this time? This seems like it would skew the stats pretty badly, as I'll always be getting the orders with bad prices which are hanging around forever and missing all the good orders.

Perhaps I am missing something?

This is a brilliant idea!

Also, it might be worth pointing out that && has a higher precedence than ||, which means that:

A || B || C && D
// equivalent to:
A || B || (C && D)
// NOT:
(A || B || C) && D

If you want to do all the ORs and then the AND, you'll need to add some brackets.

I'm currently trying to get started with the market and I'm wondering if anyone could share any tips for how to best approach this. It seems like quite a hard problem with lots of variables to consider.

1. How do you decide when to deal with an existing order vs create your own?
2. How do you decide what price to set for buy and sell orders? How do you get the best price without risking the order sitting there doing nothing?
3. If you end up with an order that's just sitting there, what do you do? Just leave it? Change the price and lose out on the fee?
4. The distance factor is another complication. If no-one is creating any orders around me, how do I know that there is any demand for anything I might sell? Or if anyone will sell if I create a buy order?

Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

I've been wondering about this too. I didn't know about RoomVisual without any parameters - that's helpful.

However, I find I often want to view different things in each room (building plans is a good example). Having a way to only draw the visuals for the room which I am looking at would save CPU.

I've found it quite helpful lately to use the simulator to work on new code before deploying to live. Particularly the ability to create arbitrary objects speeds this process up immensely.

However, the simulator seems to have some performance issues:

1. Can we get the max speed increased more than 5 ticks/s?
2. It seems that having text in the console (e.g. console.log) slows it to a crawl. Clearing the console speeds it up again.
3. It gets slower and slower over time. I suspect there is some sort of memory leak.

In case it is relevant, I am using Chrome 64 on Linux.

Thanks.

Hi. I'm running with the new IVM and it's working great - definitely saved me some CPU over the shared VM.

However, periodically I get a notification saying "Script initialization timed out". What does this mean and what can I do to fix it?

Thanks.
