Hereinafter, each step involved in the in-game activity data control method according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure will be explained and described in detail.

First, application scenarios and purposes of the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are explained and explained. Specifically, the embodiment of the disclosure can ensure that operation activities in the game server cluster are correctly executed on time, in order and on time according to the life cycle, and improve disaster recovery capability. The method mainly researches how to realize operation activities in the game server cluster and how to reduce the complexity of developing game services when realizing the operation activities, and reduces the communication traffic in the game server cluster.

In the method, a global activity handle and a local activity handle corresponding to a target operation activity are determined based on the target operation activity, the global activity handle is registered in a global activity controller of a service node to be global, the local activity handle is registered in the local activity controller, after registration, the global service node executes the target operation activity through the global activity controller and the global activity handle, in the process of executing the target operation activity, the global activity controller synchronizes the activity data and the activity state of the target operation activity to the local activity controller of a role service node, and the role service node executes a designated game service according to the synchronized activity data and the synchronized activity state.

Next, an explanation and explanation will be made of an activity data control system in a game related to an example embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 2, the in-game activity data control system may include a database 210, a plurality of global service nodes 220, and a plurality of role service nodes 230, a global activity controller 221 and a global activity handle 222 in the global service nodes 220, and one or more global activity handles 222 may be included in one global service node 220; a local activity controller 231 and a local activity handle 232 are included in the persona service node 230, and one or more local activity handles 232 may be included in one persona service node 230. The database 230 is used for storing activity data of the target operation activity; the global node 220 acquires the activity data of the target operation activity from the database 210, executes the global service logic of the target operation activity based on the activity data, synchronizes the activity data and the activity state to the local node 230, and the character service node 230 executes the designated game service based on the synchronized activity data and activity state.

Hereinafter, step S110 and step S120 will be explained and described in detail with reference to fig. 2.

In step S110, a target operation activity for a target game is determined, and a global activity handle of the target operation activity is registered to the global activity controller and a local activity handle of the target operation activity is registered to the local activity controller.

In this example embodiment, there may be one or more operations activities with inconsistent open time periods in the same time game, and in each operation activity, the activity content may be different according to the server progress. The number of the acquired target operation activities may be one or a plurality of, and is not particularly limited in this exemplary embodiment.

In this example embodiment, after determining a target operational activity, a global activity handle of the target operational activity may be registered with the global activity controller and a local activity handle of the target operational activity may be registered with the local activity controller.

Specifically, since the server cluster includes a plurality of global service nodes and a plurality of role service nodes, each global service node and each role service node are mutually independent, and after the global activity handle and the local activity handle of the target operation activity are registered in the global activity controller of the global service node and the local activity controller of the role service node, respectively, the global service node knows to which role service node the activity data should be transmitted.

In the game server cluster, there are multiple global service nodes 220, each of which represents a process, and each of which is deployed with a global activity controller, each of which is independent of the other and is only responsible for lifecycle management of the global activity handles registered thereon.

A plurality of global activity controllers exist in the game server cluster, the plurality of global activity controllers synchronize survival states with each other through heartbeat packets, and when a certain example of the global activity controllers fails to exit, other examples sense and migrate global activity handles managed by the failed example; for example, heartbeat packets may be sent between the instances, when the heartbeat packets time out, the instances may be considered to be faulty, and a normal process may be selected through a manager assignment, election algorithm, re-hash, and other modes after a process in the server cluster senses a certain instance fault, and a new instance of the service may be generated on the normal process by middleware such as ETCD (distributed application coordination service for sharing configuration and service discovery), zookeeper (Remote Dictionary Server, remote dictionary service), etc., when the instances are faulty, new topology information is synchronized to other nodes, so that other nodes sense the instance fault, in this example embodiment, the fault sensing is not specifically limited, and after processes in the server cluster sense a certain instance fault, a normal process may be selected by a manager assignment, election algorithm, re-hash, etc., and a new instance of the service may be generated on the normal process, and in this example embodiment, the fault migration mode is not specifically limited. When a service is not a single point, that is, there are multiple instances of the service executing the same code and processing the same service, the instances are independent from each other, and an interface is provided for the outside and the service is provided together by means of a distributed consistency hash algorithm, polling, random drop point and the like.

For example, the game server cluster has three global service nodes, each running on a different machine, each node having a global activity controller instance, G1, G2, G3; four role service nodes are respectively operated on different machines, and each role service node is provided with a local activity controller instance which is L1, L2, L3 and L4. There are now two types of operational activities in games: activity a: generating a monster during the activity and conducting a ranking prize according to the injury amount of the player to the monster, and B activity: the experience gained by the player is doubled during the activity.

After the game server cluster is started, the global activity handle setpoint of the A activity is registered on the global activity controller G1, the global activity handle setpoint of the B activity is registered on the global activity controller G2, and no global activity handle is registered on G3. Assuming that G1 fails, after G2 and G3 sense that the failure occurs, the global activity handle of the A activity is reselected to G2 or G3 for registration and reloading of the repository data.

Referring to fig. 3, registering a global activity handle of the target operation activity with the global activity controller may include:

S310, determining a global activity handle of global business logic for executing the target operation activity;

s320, acquiring an activity type number of the target operation activity, performing hash calculation on the activity type number by using a distributed consistency hash algorithm, and determining a global activity controller matched with the target operation activity;

and S330, registering the global activity handle to the global activity controller.

Hereinafter, step S310 to step S330 will be further explained and explained. Specifically, first, determining a global activity handle of global business logic for executing a target operation activity in a server cluster; then, in the game server cluster, each global activity controller obtains a unique number in the cluster through a distributed consistent hash algorithm, for the target operation activity, the activity type number of the target operation activity needs to be obtained, the unique number of the global activity controller corresponding to the target operation activity can be determined through the distributed consistent hash algorithm based on the activity type number of the target operation activity, and after the unique number is determined, the global activity handle is registered in the global activity handle corresponding to the unique number.

Referring to fig. 4, registering a local activity handle of the target operation activity with the local activity controller may include:

s410, acquiring a role service node in the server side for executing the game service corresponding to the target operation activity and a local activity handle of the role service logic in the role service node for executing the target operation activity;

and S420, registering the local activity handle into a local activity controller of the role service node executing the target operation activity.

Hereinafter, step S410 and step S420 will be further explained and explained. Specifically, since the server cluster includes a plurality of role service nodes, the role service nodes of the corresponding game service for executing the target operation activity in the server cluster and the local activity handles of the role service logic for executing the target operation activity in the role service nodes for executing the game service are acquired first; after the local activity handle executing the character service logic is acquired, the local activity handle is registered in the corresponding local activity controller.

In the embodiment of the present example, through the global service node and the role service node, the problem that the operation activities exist in a single point form in the related art and all operation activities are unavailable once the failure occurs is solved, so that the lateral expansion of the game is facilitated, and the disaster recovery capability is improved.

In step S120, in response to the global service node executing the target operation activity, acquiring, by the global activity controller, activity data and an activity state related to the target operation activity, and synchronizing, via the global activity controller, the acquired activity data and activity state to the local activity controller, so that the character service node can execute a specified game service by accessing the local activity controller to acquire the activity data and activity state.

In this example embodiment, the global service node performs global service logic of the target operation activity through the global activity handle therein, and the character service node performs character service logic of the target operation activity through the local activity handle therein to complete game service corresponding to the target operation activity.

Referring to fig. 5, the global service node performing the target operation activity may include;

step S510, the global activity controller obtains activity data of the target operation activity, and obtains time configuration data of the target operation activity according to the activity data;

and S520, the global service node executes the target operation activity according to the time configuration data.

Hereinafter, step S510 and step S520 will be further explained and explained. Specifically, after the global activity handle is successfully registered, the global activity controller loads the activity data of the target operation activity, obtains the time configuration data of the target operation activity according to the configuration data in the activity data, and after obtaining the time configuration data, the global service node can execute the target operation activity according to the time configuration data. The time configuration data are corresponding times of different activity states of the target operation activity; the configuration data may include an open time, a settlement time, etc. of the target operation activity, or may be a numerical configuration related to the playing method of the target operation activity, such as a rewarding configuration, a monster configuration, etc., and the configuration data is not specifically limited in this example embodiment; the configuration data can also comprise repository data, wherein the repository data is a series of data which is generated in the target operation activity and needs to be stored in a lasting mode, such as activity progress, operation records of users, random results and the like, and the data has nonrenewability and needs to be stored in time so as to be reloaded and recovered after the server cluster is restarted or an instance fails to migrate. The repository data may also be activity data a number of times ago, as the data is used to play in-game presentation data, after the target global activity controller obtains the data, the stored data may be synchronized to the local node. For example: ranking list data corresponding to the last week of ending activities need to be shown; or when the character which is not logged in for a long time flows back, recording the repairing basis of the active state in the character data; or a certain activity task is taken from a week activity of a certain character, cleaning, rewarding and reimbursement are needed when logging in the week, and the method is not particularly limited in the example embodiment.

Further, referring to fig. 6, the global service node performing the target operation activity according to the time configuration data may include:

step S610, a global activity controller in the global service node obtains the current activity state of the target operation activity according to the time configuration data and the current time;

s620, configuring a timer for the second active state according to the time parameter of the second active state in the time configuration data, and executing the target operation activity based on the timer; wherein the second active state is the next active state to the current active state.

Hereinafter, step S610 and step S620 will be further explained and explained. Specifically, after obtaining time configuration data of the target operation activity, when the server is started, a global activity controller in the global service node calculates a current activity state of the target operation activity according to the current time and the time configuration data, configures a corresponding timer according to a time parameter of a next state of the current activity state, namely a second activity state, and executes the target operation activity based on the timer. The activity state of the target operation activity may be activity start, end, settlement, and the like, and the state of the target operation activity is not particularly limited in this example embodiment.

After the global activity controller of the global service node obtains the activity data of the target operation activity, the activity data may be synchronized into the local activity controller of the role service node.

Still further, referring to fig. 7, performing the target operation activity based on the timer may include:

step S710, triggering to switch the current active state into the second active state through the timer;

and S720, calling a state callback function of the global activity handle corresponding to the second activity state, and triggering and executing global business logic corresponding to the target operation activity through the state callback function.

Hereinafter, step S710 and step S720 will be further explained and explained. Specifically, when the time reaches the time parameter of the second active state, triggering the change of the current active state through a timer, and modifying the current active state into the second active state; when the activity state is changed, the global activity controller calls a state callback function of the global activity handle, and triggers the global service node to execute global service logic corresponding to the target operation activity through the state callback function and the obtained repository data in the activity data; for example, a series of lifecycle activities such as triggering target operation activity initialization, activity settlement, etc., which is not limited in this example embodiment; the state callback function is a callback function corresponding to the second active state, for example, when the second active state is an active start callback function, the state callback function may be an active start callback function. The timer ensures the normal conversion of the activity state of the target operation activity.

In this example embodiment, after executing the global business logic corresponding to the target operation activity by the state callback function, the in-game activity data control method further includes:

Specifically, when the global business logic is executed through the global activity handle, the activity data may be modified, so that the activity data of the target operation activity needs to be updated to obtain updated activity data.

After obtaining updated activity data, obtaining, by the global activity controller, activity data and an activity state related to the target operation activity, and synchronizing, via the global activity controller, the obtained activity data and activity state to the local activity controller, may include:

Specifically, after obtaining the update activity data, the global activity controller can synchronize the update activity data and the second state data to the local activity controller of the persona business node via RPC (Remote Procedure Call ) communication. After synchronizing the data, referring to fig. 8, the character service node performs a designated game service by accessing the local activity controller to acquire the activity data and the activity state, which may include:

Step S810, the local activity controller of the role service node calls a state callback function of the local activity handle corresponding to the second activity state according to the updated activity data and the second activity state;

and S820, triggering and executing the role business logic of the target operation activity through a state callback function corresponding to the second activity state.

Hereinafter, step S810 and step S820 will be further explained and explained. Specifically, after the local activity controller of the role service node obtains the updated activity data and the second activity state, the updated activity data and the second activity data are stored, the updated activity data, the second activity state and the activity data and the current activity state obtained by the server when the server is started are compared, and when the updated activity data and the second activity data are found to change, a state callback function corresponding to the second activity state of the local activity handle is called, so that the local activity handle is based on the updated activity data, and the role service node is triggered to execute the role service logic corresponding to the target operation activity through the state callback function, so that the corresponding game service is completed. The local activity controller is used as a local cache of the character service node, and can directly acquire the activity data in the process when the game service needs to access the activity data without requesting the global activity controller through RPC communication, thereby reducing the development complexity of the game service and reducing the communication quantity in the game server cluster.

Executing the game service may include acquiring an online virtual character located at the character service node, notifying the online virtual character or updating character data of the online virtual character based on an execution result of executing the corresponding character service logic.

For example, the game server cluster has three global service nodes, each running on a different machine, each node having a global activity controller instance, G1, G2, G3; four role service nodes respectively run on different machines, and each node is provided with a local activity controller instance which is L1, L2, L3 and L4. There are now two types of operational activities in games: activity a: generating a monster during the activity and conducting a ranking prize according to the injury amount of the player to the monster, and B activity: the experience gained by the player is doubled during the activity.

After the game server cluster is started, the local controllers L1 to L4 register the local activity handles of the A, B activities. And G1, calculating according to the activity configuration of the A activity to obtain the starting time and the ending time of the A activity, calling a state callback interface of the global activity handle of the A activity when the A activity starts, wherein the state callback interface can be the activity starting callback interface, initializing a ranking list and notifying the activity state change to L1-L4. And after receiving the A activity state change notification, the L1-L4 call a state callback interface of the A activity local activity handle, carry out activity starting notification on the online virtual objects on the nodes where the L1-L4 are positioned, and brush out the activity monster in the appointed scene. The virtual object attacks the active monsters, attack data is synchronized to the global activity controller for repository, and the global activity handle triggers the calculation of the leaderboard at regular time.

And G2, calculating according to the activity configuration of the activity B to obtain the starting time and the ending time of the activity B, calling an activity starting callback interface of a global activity handle of the activity B when the activity B starts, calculating experience addition multiplying power by the global activity handle of the activity B according to parameters such as the server starting time, the server grade and the like, and synchronizing the experience addition multiplying power with the activity state to L1-L4. And after receiving the B activity state change notification, the L1-L4 call a state callback interface of a B activity local activity handle to perform activity opening notification on the online virtual objects on the nodes where the L1-L4 are located. When the online virtual object obtains experience during the activity, the experience addition multiplying power recorded on the local activity controller of the node B activity is read to perform experience addition.

The method of controlling activity data in a game according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is further explained and illustrated below with reference to fig. 9. The method for controlling the activity data in the game can comprise the following steps:

s910, setting a timer by the global activity controller, and calculating an activity state;

s920, when the activity state is changed, requesting activity data from a database, and loading the activity data;

S930, calling a state callback interface of the global movable handle;

step S940, synchronizing the activity data and the activity state to a local activity controller of a local node;

s950, when the synchronization fails, performing synchronization retry;

s960, the local activity controller calls a state callback interface of the local activity handle;
