[Plugin] ManiaLive->Xaseco->ManiaLive freezone fix 0.34

[Knutselmaaster]

I will wait with disabling freezone servers until a solution has been found, it would be unfair to disable freezone on servers where the admins did all they could and installed this plugin.

On our server lol-mini.relax this plugin is installed, but you have disable freezone on it..

I did not know yet that this plugin was not yet failsave.
I suggest you run ManiaLive alone, and contact me when it's ready, i will reactivate freezone then.

I advice the same thing to all other server admins using this plugin, or any other combination of servercontrollers that are not 100% compatible with the freezone rules.
I will continue visiting freezone servers, and when i find servers breaking the rules i will send a warning to admins, stating that they should run only manialive.
A day or two later i will verify if this has been done, if not i will deactivate freezone.
This way nobody can complain that they have been deactivated without knowing they were wrong.

At an exit from the server and then at returning to it forcespec remains, but the chat is not blocked absolutely.



Maybe need more information? List of installed plugins, logs xaseco - I give, the main thing that it helped to eliminate problems.

xaseco don't handle custom_ui values independantly for each player, so it's not easy to make it work correctly.

I suggest to try a temporary workaround : in xaseco files comment the '<chat visible="' . bool2text($ml_custom_ui['chat']) . '"/>' . line, in function getCustomUIBlock() of manialinks.inc.php . At least xaseco will stop to set a value to it, so the value set by ML should work.

Drawback : it is not impossible that the resulting <custom_ui> block without the chat part will have sometimes a unwanted effect, because the <custom_ui> results are sometimes strange.

Also, checking that no added plugin build a manialink <custom_ui> part by itself (they are supposed to use getCustomUIBlock() to get it) would not be a bad idea.

In the same way you can use chat on NADEO freezone servers, where there are no other controllers. But, nobody wants to hear this...

Hypothesis
I'm suspecting your setup isn't right. The plugin.MLintegration.php has to be exactly the last entry on plugin.xml.

The test
I re-tested the scenario, xaseco log shows with first run - no errors ingame, chat is disabled on rejoin:

Code: Select all

The red text shouldn't be happening, but for some reason the manialive on challenge skip triggers that behaviour with the plugins.

Second run, without admin skips, No errors in rejoining of the player to server:

Oh but the problem is proably since i don't drive any times and there as no players at track, the server skips the onEndChallenge and that's why the test player is 2 rounds disabled in chat...

Conclusion

Plugin works, you setup has to be wrong.

[reaby]

Update
additional checks for variables, should eliminate error messages at console.

These actions do not help
