[Plugin]FreeZone Plugin

[nickutis]

Hi guys,

I spent 3 days looking for help online and almost ready to give up. I've created the freezone server using manialink + freezone plugin, it works fine for nations users (forced spec, no chat etc).

The problem is that my server never sends live, and never becomes a real freezone server.

This is that I see in my logs:

Code: Select all

array(7) {
  ["serverLogin"]=>
  string(11) "nickaslt-fr"
  ["serverName"]=>
  string(26) "Freezone: Lekiam Pas Nadeo"
  ["serverVersion"]=>
  string(28) "TmForever,2.11.26,2011-02-21"
  ["manialiveVersion"]=>
  int(239)
  ["maxPlayers"]=>
  int(40)
  ["visibility"]=>
  int(0)
  ["classHash"]=>
  string(40) "d99048f054f5a29d24901b2c6142b524fdf1a36a"
}

 -> Exception with code 0
    API error. Check the HTTP error code.

      ManiaLive\Application\AbstractApplication->run()
           #8 {main}

I did lots of troubleshooting and found out that the server never actually calls API url (I checked it with tcpdump)

Any idea what could be wrong? Thanks!

You are talking about TMF I believe ?


Look here :

http://plugins.xaseco.org/info.php?id=147


This plugin runs with Xaseco so you don't have to use manialive.

What you need is 1:Dedicated server + 2:Xaseco ( servercontroller ) +3:freezoneplugin.

Here is a link to trackmania forum (xaseco ) : http://www.tm-forum.com/viewforum.php?f=127

Also usefull : http://docs.xaseco.org/install.php


Goodluck with it , questions about TMF could be better asked at TrackmaniaForum.

Thanks hackie,

I already tried this Xaseco plugin, however, there is a problem which I believe breaks freezone rule.

After freezone user (who is forced to spec) does logout/login, plugin doesn't count his games anymore (and doesn't force to spec mode anymore in the following rounds)

[hackie]

That plugin is fine , you can say that almost every server on TMF is using that.

It was no succes running manialive together with xaseco. ( for freezone port )
So some one made a plugin for the freezone port. You can use it , don't worry.

Take some time it has effect.

( do not forget to register freezone server "ingame" , you have to use a freezone ( key ) )

[nickutis]

Thanks for the suggestions

Do you know if that port of freezone should give errors in freezone.log if there are any?

This is my freezone.log when running Tmf server + xaseco 1.15b + Freezone port

It looks fine.. but then if I change password in freezone.xml , log looks fine too! Does that mean TM web services API doesn't send any response back?

[nickutis]

I found the problem. It wasn't a problem with freezone port, manialive, xaseco or anything trackmania related.

The reason was my server was using 127.0.0.1 as DNS server, and couldn't resolve ws.trackmania.com

Simple as that, but without real error messages from both plugins it was really hard to find out!

@Nadeo dont u think its time to remove frezone or the copper pay of freezone ?

People who join FreeZone Servers are mostly FREE users so no Coppers from this players.
But there is the weekly copper bill, if a server ownder like me is running out of copper ....... i spend over 20K Coppers and now i have no more.

The playerbase is how it is, some like MP some TM1, dont think you get more or less players or guys who buy MP games when you change or remove freezone.

no need to post the same post twice (considering this thread hasn't been discussed in 6 years..)

[TMarc]

Other double post removed. Here is probably the better place.

[BestNoob]

The important question is: is this the best place for this question or is a poll/separate thread more useful/better ?
