[Concept] AGO - Synchronization

  • [Concept] AGO - Synchronization

    Hello :)

    Right now i added the first feature to synchronize data and settings via the browser sync feature.

    - First it's only working in Google Chrome. In this browser the final and beta release are different extensions, you can't sync between them. Ofc you have to login into the same google account.
    - AGO syncs on each login. Please wait some seconds before you use another browser.
    - This feature is off by default and it's working only for the current Panel setting and Constructions - for now of course to get enough experiences with it.
    - Later all other usefull data and settings are following, even Firefox.

    Feedback, discussion and problems please here.
  • Well - a short summary after some good and bad experiences.

    In general it's perfect to have a "live" synchronisation and it's working well - As long as there are no unexpected problems, for example the sync server is down etc etc.

    The stored data and settings in AGO have to be trustable at anytime - therefore i change the concept to "Sync and Backup" once per session.

    After login, you can update your data and settings with the last backup ( with a button in the panel and Overview page)
    At the end you can press the Backup button and store all changes using Google Sync, Firefox Sync or the antigame.de server.

    This allows also cross-browser synchronization.
  • Beta 5.6.22.4

    First useable beta with the new sync feature.

    - The Backup and Restore feature is available in the Panel when you view the Ogame overview page - Later it's also available in the Option menu
    - First only the antigame.de server is available. Later you can use browser sync or text as well.
    - You can backup your data & settings with one click - first you'll see a list with all affected data. With a click onto the blue "Backup" button they are stored AND you are logged out.

    - You can Restore your data & settings ONLY after login. First you see a list with all data. Green are without changes ( and not restored ), orange are changed. With a click onto the blue "Restore" button they are saved and the page will load again.


  • Synchronization:

    • Added the new Backup & Synchronization feature with three methodes: "Server", "Browser" and "Text". See screenshot
    • Methode "Server": Backup and restore from the antigame.de server. It's working across all browsers.
    • Methode "Browser": Backup and restore from the antigame.de server. It's using Google Sync, Firefox Sync or Opera Link accounts with a protected connections, but with data size limits.
    • Methode "Text": Backup and restore via text. You'll see if community, universe and player are the same and you can restore in any case to transfer data & settings.
    • First you see always a list with differences compared to the last backup and it's date and time. Green is exactly the same, yellow is with changes and red is above the limit to use "Browser Sync".
    • On "Overview" page the Panel shows the Restore ( five times after login ) or Backup command. See screenshot
    • The old backups via antigame.de server aren't accessable anymore. Please contact me if you need your backup.
