ManiaPlanet 2 Beta Server 2013-07-12

Thanks Haagse. That's what I was missing. Was that not included in the download?

I downloaded the dedicated_TMValley.pak from here: http://forum.maniaplanet.com/viewtopic. ... 46#p176973

Yw Dr. Rock
A newer dedicated_TMValley.pak is included in the download of MP2 Beta Server 2013-07-12:
The dedicated_TMValley.pak from 11-07-2013 2:31.
If you use that one your server will be up to date

Greetz.

Do I have to enable Beta2 gameplay in the matchsettings file before starting the server ? Because I set it ingame and it doesn´t work.

basically, but a restart command should work as well

That sucks if you don´t know. Especially because the SMStormElite1 Matchsetting is included in the titlpack so you have to start the server and save the ms file for the first time to have one. A way too complicated in my view.

Hello xbx,

could please you add a pair of batches to directly run Canyon and Valley as well?
And also copy the default dedicated.cfg to the 4 titles so they have names inside?
I have prepared a few: https://www.dropbox.com/s/e75la1x5tr77c ... onfigs.zip
Would be great

But this is some kind of déjà-vu:
SMStormRoyal does not want to start, it says "no playlist file".

Code: Select all

Match settings file : MatchSettings\SMStormRoyal.txt
Loading match settings...
...ERROR: The playlist file does not exist.

The default configuration should run properly on local machine, and at least with one map

Now I am even stuck at
[2013/07/20 19:06:04] Initializing...^M

I am wondering how the server could not work after the update. The Settings and Configs are still the same.

Did you changed anything structurewise that will make me need to change configs and settings?

[TMarc]

Compare your settings file with the new default configuration to see if you have something weird there.
And if you're running it on your machine, take care not to click in the cmd window with "Quick Edit" enabled,
as a active mouse selection (white plain cursor or rectangle) will prevent further processing of that window

[DeathDriver]

Hey, first thanks for the answer!
The new configuration file got some extras like:

Code: Select all

		<gsp_name></gsp_name>						<!-- Game Server Provider name and info url -->
		<gsp_url></gsp_url>						<!-- If you're a server hoster, you can use this to advertise your services -->

But I got some extra information on my side as well, e.g.:

Code: Select all

		<keep_player_slots>False</keep_player_slots>			<!-- when a player changes to spectator, hould the server keep if player slots/scores etc.. or not. --> 	

That shouldnt make any difference, should it?

I am running the server on a hosting system, accessing through ssh, so there shouldnt be any problems the one you mention, right?!

I am actually putting up a new folder on that hosting server now with totally new server transfer onto it (I am normally just overwriting). I will see if that helps.

[TMarc]

yeah, I guess on ssh (if you're using a dedicated ssh client) the mouse does not have this effect it

Remove all the settings you don't necessarily need, and which look old (not listed in the new default cfg).
Try to run the server first with almost unmodified cfg, and successively add your settings.
Then you should be able to find out what is not working anymore
