Script.Round : Fetch Score + Alter live modescript_settings

Hey Undef & all,
I'm updating a private plugin from xaseco to uaseco, I'm struggling where I can gather the Score for a given player at the end of a round (or at the end of a map, but I suppose it's the same).
Since Score from GetCurrentRanking is not available for the Script.Round it seems.
An other question : still for the same mode, is there a way we could alter LIVE (without restarting uaseco, like the modification would be effective on next map), the parameters in modescript_settings.xml (would like to change rounds_per_map, or couple of other parameters). Atm the only way is to change it in the file and restart uaseco to make it updated, if I'm right.
Thanks in advance.

You do not have to call the methods (like "GetCurrentRanking") from the dedicated server by yourself, all you need UASECO keep that up-to-date for you:
Just use the chat command
to reload the changed settings of your config/modescript_settings.xml

All right, get it, thanks !
Little question, if, in modescript_settings.xml, I disable the display of informations such as <checkpoint_time>, <checkpoint_list>, ...., I don't have performance improvement right ?

No, those widgets are made with ManiaScript and work only locally.

Ok, in my initial question I ask you how to get the round points for a given player, so your answer was perfect (getRankByLogin, then I have access to it $rank->rounds_points).
But if I have to collect these points for a hundred of players in a loop, is this method still good ? In terms of performance I mean. Or is there a more proper way ? Or I'm worrying for nothing ?
I mean to be sure to keep the server (and controller) stable with a big amount of players, I don't know where I have to be careful.
edit : aka, is there now an equivelance of the GetCurrentRanking in Script.Rounds, where I can get, in one object, the score (round_points) of every players present in the rankings ?

In this case you should use this:
Code: Select all
foreach ($aseco->server->rankings->ranking_list as $login => $data) {
// ...
}
$data contains this:
Code: Select all
'rank' => 1,
'login' => 'puennt_ennel',
'nickname' => '$S$W$F90Gιммє$FF0ツ',
'round_points' => 12,
'map_points' => 10,
'match_points' => 8,
'best_race_time' => 3741, // Best race time in milliseconds
'best_race_respawns' => 2, // Number of respawn during best race
'best_race_checkpoints' => array(1740,2475,3122,3741), // Checkpoints times during best race
'best_lap_time' => 0, // Best lap time in milliseconds (only in ModeScript "Laps")
'best_lap_respawns' => 0, // Number of respawn during best lap (only in ModeScript "Laps")
'best_lap_checkpoints' => 0, // Checkpoints times during best lap (only in ModeScript "Laps")
'prev_race_time' => 7411, // Best race time in milliseconds of the previous race
'prev_race_respawns' => 3, // Number of respawn of the previous race
'prev_race_checkpoints' => array(2871,3012,4587,7411), // Checkpoints times of the previous race
'stunts_score' => 50,
'prev_stunts_score' => 125,

Great, I made my algo with that, thanks again!
Is the only way to display local records (in a proper widget) is via records_eyepiece ?

As I don't know details on what you want to do, it's a bit difficult for me to advice you what's the best way to code. If you want to display a widget like local records from RecordsEyepiece, then it would be better done in ManiaScript (which runs like JavaScript on the client side).
I was playing around - a long time ago - with the LiveRankingWidget in RecordsEyepiece, that could be a good start for you (but be careful, this code isn't finished yet):

Yeah if I had the level in coding I would have done few things in ManiaScript (and if there was a proper and deep documentation, or I missed something ?).
But for the local records I will finally simply not display them and try to keep ressources light, this is not an essential info in that format.
Beacause, for the rest of the plugin, i'm coding a bit "in the fog" concerning perfomance side. On php side, and controller/server couple. I have no knowledge.
On controller/server side, what should I worry about ?
Sending too many manialinks too often could be an issue (like, on each endRound, I'm sending a manialink to each player, same on beginRound with an empty manialink to clear) ?
We could hit 80,100 players, even more but we'll maybe put a limit if we meet problems.
edit : To give an example, to add these up/down arrows in that manialink, I added a foreach (of 10 max items) with 3 basic if in it, in an already existing foreach (10 max items). Is this significant ? I could give you a view of the code for general advice, but well, I don't want to abuse of your help.

No, only
something of this exists and that's not really helpful.

If that ManiaLink are build for each player with each different informations on endRound, then you could hit a bottleneck (the dedicated server) real quick. If that Manialink looks for all players the same, then you should send them to all players in one call:
Code: Select all
$widget = '<manialink id="08154711"><quad posn="0 0 0" sizen="10 2" bgcolor="FFFF"></manialink>';
$logins = false;
$aseco->sendManialink($widget, $logins);

That looks like you could send that Manialink to all players at once, that "removes" the bottleneck.
