ManiaPlanet 2 Beta Server 2012-07-25 - beta1.2

the dedicated incudes all the games and platforms, but it is not possible to manage several servers with one instance!
in thet case it is a poor dedicated concept.

Think about what you said for a minute. If you were running multiple dedicated servers from one instance of the program, what would happen when one of those servers had a problem and crashed? All of them would go down, not jus the one with the problem.

So it is smarter to have each server running on unique instances of the application; not a poor concept.

in thet case it is smarter to have dedicated files which are only for one game
or does it make any sense to load storm maps and packs with a canyon dedicated?

Perhaps we are talking about two different things... but I enjoy being able to use the same install and exe to run TM2 Canyon servers (in different modes) and SM servers with the same familiar configs and settings files.

Install once, set up many, run with different command or batch files.

I like being able to run two TM2 servers (Time Attack and Rounds) and a ShootMania (Royal) server launching the same EXE three times with different configurations. Seems pretty smart to me... especially since the game itself uses the same codebase... why not the server? Seems like a great re-use of code to me.

On the other hand, if the games were working of different game engines/codebases, having different dedicated server applications would make more sense.

I think there is a bug. I started the platform server with CanyonA tracklist. Then I copied from the B and C files, the maps and put it tomy tracklist. Then I went to RCP to load this new tracklist. After I clicked there were no maps on the server and after mapend it crashed.
I hope you understand what I mean...

you are right!

Oh I forgot to say that, in this release, is included a workaround for the "I can't connect to my own server because the LAN mode is disabled" problem.
But it only works if the server is on the same machine as the game (it tries connecting to the server on the loopback network interface). Hope this helps.]

In simple English..

No it doesn't help.

Why would i run dedicated servers on my gaming rig??

I have a dedicated server to run dedicated servers



I mean seriously. Its 2012. 1999 you could run UT and Q3 dedicated servers and connect to them over LAN 100% no problems....
13 years on.....

i don't mean to sound harsh, but we shouldn't even be discussing this, this shouldn't even exist as a problem

Thanks to Poco for helping me download the tracks and make the pack.

Maybe you can fix within the next update that you dont have to press 2 times "del" after crossing the finnish line. This would be much better

EDIT: in platform mode.

killer, that doesn't have anything to do with the dedicated server, as far as I know. If it's an issue, it's probably one with the script or how the script works with the game.

You should post the report in the following forum:

With the subject line:
[B1.2][Platform] Have to press DEL twice at finish to reset

And then the contents of your post.
