[Beta3RC2] ManiaPlanet 2 Beta3 Server 2013-02-11

[xbx]

Good evening!

here is an updated server for Beta3 RC2.

http://files.maniaplanet.com/ManiaPlane ... -02-11.zip

Or if you have already installed 2013-02-09 or 2013-02-09b, here is the difference to apply on top of the previous install:
http://files.maniaplanet.com/ManiaPlane ... _delta.zip

This version is compatible with the Beta3RC1 and RC2.

It includes a few fixes in the scripts and the P2P.
(notably the ladder system that was broken in the initial 2013-02-19 release)
and the windows server was mistakenly compiled to use SSE2 extension, not compatible with older CPUs..

We do appreciate how painless each update is for server admins. It makes things very nice come time to apply updates... But a three day release cycle? I know we are in Beta but do we updates that close together?

They do if major things are broken with the new release!
In this case, they had a couple "show-stopping" ones where ladder wasn't active on the initial release and some weren't able to run their servers.

Oh, and thanks for providing the delta this time! That'll save bandwidth!

Don't mind about release cycle - if it is quick to fix bugs then awesome.

Just wish the releases would not cause so many issues with the TM2 community. We are not a happy bunch with the regular bugs and problems.

Maniaplanet integration may have seemed a wonderful idea but unfortunately the execution has not gone down well with us on TM2 as everything once worked. Now we just wonder what is going to go wrong next.

Sorry to sound a bit negative but I hope that I speak on behalf of all TM2 server admins and players.

Update works for dedimania so it looks like the GetValidationReplay and SaveBestGhostsReplay work again.
Still some big problems with synchronization with the masterserver however. Our mainserver TM2 Canyon server: Smurfen.net (login smurfer) is only visible in the legacybrowser, its not visible in the new browser, Maniahome and even in the player page. Even after 2 reboots still the same problem

Greetz,

Yes same - servers disappearing in master server list. - server still running.

Also servers show "Stuck" playing users. - this could be a backend problem and not the server component.

But missing servers is MAJOR concern.....

One more change:

ListCallbacks_2012-06-19.html includes a new entry:

ManiaPlanet.ModeScriptCallbackArray(string Param1, string Params[]);

please also consider that the Maniaplanet evolutions can bring some benefits to TM2 as well, even if it is annoying to have the priority on Shootmania for long time now. The real time chat, the competition tools, the ladder of buddies, the script system, the title packs and various other additions arrived after Canyon release. We need to fix things on Trackmania, but today, there will be even more people into Maniaplanet, there is already more people on Canyon since last months thanks to Storm I believe, so there is also a positive impact on the community and players.

I don't say it is perfect, but after seeing xbx work from morning to night since 10 days in a row, I think it is fair to say that he is doing quite of a job for the players.

The servers that are appearing or not is probably more of a master server side things caused by optimization that we are doing since many days to prepare for the upcoming day, weeks and months of growing popularity of Maniaplanet. Sorry again for the inconvenience.

Just a short question about the server events/callback (sry don´t know exactly what it is)

I run the only server in platform so my problem maybe is in the Platform.Multi.Script itself, but i don´t know it.
So the problem is when the race is over no event is thrown from the server when switching automatic to specatator to see the scoreboard. on endMap throws to late, on end round never gets thrown. (When skip map instant is activate time counts his way down until endTime is over.) Pls help.
