I have just edited an own old posting from the " [MP3] REPORTS AND BUGS" forum and wanted to point to, because there was no response on it, but i think there are "important" things in it to make the handling in TM² of the UI better: http://forum.maniaplanet.com/viewtopic. ... 47#p223847

Hi,
after FB's weekly race the Server did crash with this in Syslog

Code: Select all

Sep 20 20:08:05 ca241 kernel: [6177666.377945] ManiaPlanetServ[10158]: segfault at 15b56f00 ip 0000000015b56f00 sp 00000000ff8fee0c error 15

in the server log is no error

[undef.de]

Let's say i build a own Title (example name "Jump-N-Run@undeflabs") based upon TMStadium. If i run a dedicated server with this settings (shorted):

Dedicated config

Code: Select all

<dedicated>
	<system_config>
		<title>Jump-N-Run@undeflabs</title>
	</system_config>
</dedicated>

MatchSettings

Code: Select all

<playlist>
	<gameinfos>
		<game_mode>0</game_mode>
		<script_name>TimeAttack.Script.txt</script_name>
		<title>Jump-N-Run@undeflabs</title>
	</gameinfos>
</playlist>

Is there somewhere a possibilities for a server controller to figure out which base Title is used, in this example "TMStadium"?

I had the same problem while coding eXpansion, Steffen helped me figure it out, just get the environment of the map.

...just get the environment of the map.

Ahm... a too simple solution, i want a much more complicated one.

EDIT: Your solution doesn't work for what i wanted to do: I wanted to use it as the "packmask" parameter for dedimania, but the environment can be changed for each map in e.g. the Title "Trackmania_2@nadeolabs".

May i give a short reminder to those problems:

Important: ListMethods SetScriptName and GetScriptName
On change the Modescript with the ListMethod SetScriptName, then after a map change the old Modescript is still running, but the ListMethod GetScriptName returns the changed script name.
E.g. from 'Rounds.Script.txt' to ' 'TimeAttack.Script.txt'. Only a dedicated server restart helps, which is not really advantageous.

Important: ListMethods SetScriptName and GetScriptName

looking at http://forum.maniaplanet.com/viewtopic.php?t=27338 i still think that it's Nadeos intended behaviour
SetScriptName only changes the name of the game mode and not the actual script
that way Nadeo thinks everything is working fine and they don't get the issue you're referring to?

so i still believe that we need to point out that we want the server to load the new script file by itself, after giving its name via SetScriptName

could we please have some confirmation by Nadeo? am i wrong?

// Edit: ha, by reading all the posts of the thread i linked (would have been a good idea to do that earlier instead of only the first post) i found that:

When you want to switch to another mode, you call

Code: Select all

SetScriptName("RoyalV2.Script.txt");

so it seems i was wrong, a confirmation by Nadeo would still be good i guess
