Latest server parsing results

[LaFayette]

Patched the support server so it is reading more of the maps. Finished a run, posting errors below. I think some of these repos probably just need to be deleted (perhaps empty). If anyone has insight or wants to try and fix these, please do so, it would be of good help:

@LaFayette
Great work!
The 'maps server' now shows 299 maps (did a find/count on view)
https://triplea-game.org/maps-list/maps/

https://github.com/triplea-maps
has 337 repositories

But as LaFayette says some of these maybe empty or might be duplicates or just WiP and just left incomplete.

Settlers Fallen Empire is mine
1888A Steam and Steel is mine

@lafayette
Made 2 changes, when will these be reflected in ?
https://triplea-game.org/maps-list/maps

Is it possible to see the file or the list of errors from the next refresh?

[LaFayette]

@TheDog website is updated hourly. For sure need a longer term solution for raising the errors. Currently it's a manual check-the-logs and copy/paste process

I'm also getting the same error as cernel when trying to join a bot

however the first time I tried to join a bot I got this error

That is the only time I got it. It now always shows the same error cernel gets

Edit
on 15503

Edit 2
oops wrong thread

@LaFayette
I dont think the hourly refresh is working.
I have deleted the_shogun_advanced repository, so that should be one less map, down to 298

Uploaded a much smaller preview.png to 1888A_steam_and_steel, 2MB to 721KB

shogun_advanced renamed Preview.png to preview.png where no image was shown before, hopefully that displays the image as expected.

@TheDog this is the update maps page job: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea-game.github.io/actions/workflows/update-maps.yml

Yeah, not hourly, but also more frequent then daily (it seems almost hourly). It can be manually triggered too. I ran it just now to pick up any latest changes.

The other factor to keep in mind, there are two steps.. First is the support server which needs to re-index the map, then the map tile needs to be regenerated for the server (the job I linked is that second step)

I suspect the support server part is what is not picking up yet. It can take a while to go through all of the maps. I'll try to double check on timings tomorrow; it might be a 5 hour refresh period there.

@LaFayette
The map count has gone down by 1 as expected.

The other changes I will have to wait for, but thanks for the heads up and link with times on it.
