ManiaPlanet 2 Beta Server 2013-04-26

[xbx]

hello all!

Here is today's update:
http://files.maniaplanet.com/ManiaPlane ... -04-26.zip

(if you already had the 2013-04-12 or more recent version, here is the difference:
http://files.maniaplanet.com/ManiaPlane ... _delta.zip )

It is compatible with the current version (and optional).

Main Changes:

• updated scripts
• crash when using stadium maps with objects on top of other objects
• LoadMatchSettings() should now work for titles packs
• raised the entry slots limit in the ManiaPlanet.PlayerManialinkPageAnswer() to 64.
• set the correct ladder zone name for the player in the LadderRank struct (in GetDetailedPlayerInfo()" etc...)
• fix running a script mode server in trackmania. (stunters )
• includes a work around to allow loading 'old' shootmania maps that used "checkpoints" for "goals" (obstacle )
• GetTeamInfo() : to get infos from the team links in use for the match in progress.
• DisableServiceAnnounces() to disable 'player has joined / left the game' messages. [needs client update to actually work]
• - SetModeScriptInfo() better error messages
  - GetModeScriptInfo() will now actually give the default values.
  - fix a bug when matchsettings contained wrongly typed settings.
• callback PlayerDisconnect() now has a second parameter "string DisconnectionReason". It's usually empty, except when the player is sent to an other server. In that case, it's "join ServerLogin" . [needs SetApiVersion("2013-04-16")]
• http requests user-agent fixed for linux (http get and post)
• SetCallVoteRatiosEx() / GetCallVoteRatiosEx(), allows two things:
  - change only some of the ratios without overiding all.
  - allows to define ratios for specific parameters. For instance, you now can:
  SetCallVoteRatiosEx(False, [{'SetScriptSettings', 'S_AutoBalance', -1}]) to forbid votes for changing autobalance.
  empty string matches all parameters.
  (otherwise ratios are chosen using very simple substring matching..)
• don't clear the settings descriptions from the script when loading a matchsettings.xml
• little improvement of the memory growing over time problem

edit: 2013-04-26 - uploaded a small update after some more testing of the 2013-04-24 version

(alas, no other changes in callbacks yet.)

about this:

set the correct ladder zone name for the player in the LadderRank struct"

I misread the value and it actuallty says "|Zone|Europe" instead of "World|Europe" . I'll fix this in the next update.

mmm apparently there's a few issues in this server. We're looking into it..
I wouldn't recommend updating for the time being...

edit:
Well I'm still looking into it but it's not that bad (I can't reproduce the problem easily):
I don't think I'll make a fix today.

would or wouldn't?

would or wouldn't?

wouldn't..

(it works, though, but there a small script issue in the lobby and some memory problem)

I noticed also that our own disable / enable scoreboard (which only worked for the old ones) is not working anymore with that update:

Code: Select all

									declare Player = GetPlayer(Event.Param2);
									if (Player != Null) {
										// Player dependent events (login passed)
										switch (Event.Param1) {
											case "disableAltMenu": {
												declare UI <=> UIManager.GetUI(Player);
												if (UI != Null) {
													UI.AltMenuNoDefaultScores = True;
													UI.AltMenuNoCustomScores = True;
												}
											}
											case "enableAltMenu": {
												declare UI <=> UIManager.GetUI(Player);
												if (UI != Null) {
													UI.AltMenuNoDefaultScores = False;
													UI.AltMenuNoCustomScores = False;
												}
											}
										}
									}
								}

Tested it only in Elite and Heroes, before this update we could disable enable the scoreboard on alt with this self implemented code (from steeffeen). But anyway there should be a way soon to make it generally possible.

In the last version 19-04 it still worked, on the new version not.

mm I guess it's the script that have been updated.
(actually I have no precise idea of the changes, 'eole' knows...)
