usbTM2server 0.25

[lille79]

Hi! It's been a long time since I've done much with TM, but I have once more tried to make a little (big) pack with everything set up for you to be able to run a server.

I have played TM Nations, TM Forever and 99% of the time in Forever it's been the Stadium environment. This release should work in Stadium, Canyon, but I haven't got a clue about controllers for Shootmania, so no support for Shootmania from me. The webserver and server is fully capable I'd think for Shootmania, but you need to configure your own controller if you want that to work.

Back to the things that I know something about, the usbTM2server!

I've made a version I've called usbTM2server 0.25. It's a "beta" release, so the documentation isn't guaranteed to be 100% correct, and errors may occur, but most things should work. All feedback is most welcome, and please give a shout if anything is missing, errors and so on.

Here's what's included:

Contents:
- ManiaPlanet BetaServer_2013-04-12
- MoWeS Portable II webserver (with php 5.3.5)
- Xaseco2 v1.02 Thanks to Xymph
- Records-Eyepiece 1.0.9.8 for Xaseco 2, Thanks to undef.de
- Fufi-menu v2.04 for Xaseco2 Thanks to maniactwister and Xymph (and Fufi from the beginning)
- AdminServ 2.0.3 for TmForever and Maniaplanet, Thanks to Kev717

Any stuff I might have overlooked, please tell me, and I'll try to fix it in a later release

YEEEEEEEEY :D:D:D I was litteraly just about to go and ask GrandPa for help, then I see this FINALLY up Thanks Lille

Ok, so two things I'm having trouble with, 1. the "add" function is not working, I get the message in the chat: "/add is not currently enabled on this server. It is set to True in Adminops.xml in /Xaseco2, and I cant really find any other places to edit it in , onto the next problem. 2. When I try to setup a Shootmania server, really any sort, I get this:

Code: Select all

I did try to run the server that I made before this usb was released, that worked, but when I try to run the "same" .bat file, just in you server setup Lille, It fails xD It's kindof wierd :p

You haven't read includes/rasp.settings.php yet, then. Or the Configuration section of the XAseco official site.

As stated in the first post, I've set this up for running Stadium or Canyon since I know a bit what I'm doing with those games. If you look in the \TM2\server\UserData\Maps\MatchSettings\ you will see that I've put the "default" matchsettings in a \default\-folder

That means if you want to start other match-settings than the ones I've set up, you must change the startup-bat-file referring to a Shootmania-matchsettings-file. All start-up scripts should be explained in the advanced_setup_and_tips.txt, so read that. I've never used Shootmania, so I can't help much either way.

I've written it down, so I'll create a bat-file so one can start a shootmania-server in an easy way in a later release.

As for the /add-function, that is in the \TM2\control\xaseco2_server1\rasp.settings.php
I'll set it to default enabled in the next release, as I know most want to use that function from earlier experience.

Ok, let's see, The only difference should be the bat file running the server.
I have ofcourse edited this,

Code: Select all

start "Server1" /d"%CD%\ManiaP\server" ManiaPlanetServer.exe /title=SMStorm /game_settings=MatchSettings/SMStormTimeAttack.txt /dedicated_cfg=tm2_config1.txt

(ManiaP = TM2, changed it to fit my likes better xP)

The mistake lays somewhere in this .bat file, or the files related to it. My guess is that the placement of the Game settings or the game mode Script, is incorrect.

I've written it down, so I'll create a bat-file so one can start a shootmania-server in an easy way in a later release.

Sounds good

As for the /add-function, that is in the \TM2\control\xaseco2_server1\rasp.settings.php
I'll set it to default enabled in the next release, as I know most want to use that function from earlier experience.

Found it, and thanks

[Kegulf]

Eh lol Figured out what the "problem" was xD

MatchSettings/default/SMStormTimeAttack.txt
Ty for help

[Kegulf]

Update:

Went completely away from Xaseco2, and switched to MPAseco instead for the Shootmania Obastacle server.
I will figure out exactly what to do tomorow, Tm2 server running smoothly though It's not up right now, but everything works with the coding I have now
Thanks for all help, now for some sleep, after 4 intense hours of work xP


Don't mind this:
Sorry for being such a noob, but when I run Xaseco2.bat I get this in cmd:

Code: Select all

Everything loads fine, but dedimania screws me up for some reason, I have edited plugins.xml as described in the setup and tips doc, I have read through and tried to edit the records eypiece xml (after making a backup), but it did not really work. Any ideas?

Also there has been a few problems here and there, but they where rather easy to fix


Edit:

This little fellah on line 920 in records_eyepiece.xml was the problem

Code: Select all

		<dedimania_records>				<!-- Disabled in Gamemode 'Stunts' -->
			<enabled>true</enabled>
			<title>Dedimania Records</title>

			<entries>8</entries>
			<icon_style>BgRaceScore2</icon_style>
			<icon_substyle>LadderRank</icon_substyle>
		</dedimania_records>

Changed to false and everything worked

Good to hear that you got it working, Kegulf. Please tell me if some of the problems you figured out, is something I should fix, or mention it in the setup-and-tips-file

If someone would like to help, I'd consider adding more stuff for Shootmania, but then they would have to write setup-tips and a bit of documentation.

Later today, I'll release a very simple Shootmania-addon which can be downloaded with two startup-bat-files, dedicated config-files and matchsettings-files for Shootmania.

I've also created a usbTM2-update version, where people with running usbTMFservers can run TM2-servers on their existing webserver. I'll upload it later today
