ManiaPlanet Server 2014-11-24b

[Xymph]

I've just uploaded a small followup to the update:
http://files.maniaplanet.com/ManiaPlane ... -11-24.zip

Hmm, it's presented as update 2014-11-24 but has server build number 2014-11-21_14_00. How odd.

(or the changes since 2014-11-19: http://files.maniaplanet.com/ManiaPlane ... _delta.zip )

As usual it contains more than just the actually changed files, which are:

./ManiaPlanetServer
./ManiaPlanetServer.exe
./UserData/Packs/Elite.Title.Pack.Gbx
./UserData/Scripts/Libs/Nadeo/TrackMania/UI.Script.txt
./UserData/Scripts/Libs/Nadeo/VoteMap.Script.txt
./UserData/Scripts/Modes/ShootMania/Battle.Script.txt
./UserData/Scripts/Modes/ShootMania/ModeMatchmaking.Script.txt
./UserData/Scripts/Modes/TrackMania/RoundsBase.Script.txt

and one new file: ./UserData/Scripts/Libs/Nadeo/Window.Script.txt

Hello folks!

New server update:
http://files.maniaplanet.com/ManiaPlane ... -11-24.zip

Contains more fixes (for blocks, crashes, "you've been kicked" lobby bug ...)
Updates to the script modes, notably battle.

Also contains a few additional features for scripts:

• all: it is now the make a custom podium with

  Code: Select all

  UISequence_PodiumPlayersWin="login1,login2"
  UISequence_PodiumPlayersLose="login3,login4"
  

• UI.OverlayHideEndMapLadderRecap , OverlayHideMultilapInfos
• SM: abilty to change SpawnInvulnerabilityDuration (default is 2seconds)
• SM: StaminaMax can now go up to 3.
• TM: UiDisableHelpMessage to disable the default "press xx to respawn" message
• TM: It is now possible to have a list of the checkpoints in the map and their location (until it gets more flexible as in sm)
• TM: the approximate position of the player's car fixed.
• TM: PersonalGhost: it is now possibile to display the player best or prev race ghost - it only works during a given session for a map. (the best is not kept on disk for the next time replaying the map)
• TM: MedalGhost_ShowGold /MedalGhost_ShowBronze.. (only usefull for custom solo modes in titles) If the map is in a title pack with the special ghosts replay next to it, then you can use of them from custom script modes.

2014-11-24: small update to iron out a few glitches, mostly in the scripts.

hi!

(reposting since apparently there was some issue with the forum, and the message was lost...)

So I've uploaded a 2014-11-24b version.
It's strictly identical to 2014-11-24 expect for the shootmania battle.script.txt mode, which includes a bugfix with overtime and a better balance.

Battle include a new auto balance system at the end of the round. You can check the documentation to learn how it works.

Well I did the latest updates.... nobody is playing though (on my servers), so who knows the effect?

Thxxx for update though

just saw 15 players on it 15 minutes ago and I think it would maybe be better to make a warm up in 15 seconds since there is already the map best score & others previous to the loading. I am maybe wrong, but it makes quite a time before matching again, and 15 seconds is a time to calibrate you first run ^_^

Still same bug for the missing scorepanel at end map with a client uptodate.
A reboot of the game correct the bug.

I just want to make a bump about some "uncommented" postings from me:

AutoSaveValidationReplays and GetValidationReplay
viewtopic.php?p=230882#p230882

SetScriptName and GetScriptName
viewtopic.php?p=230214#p230214

A small wish for a new Xml-Rpc GetMatchSettingsFilename:
viewtopic.php?p=222437#p222437

[reaby]

for all Undefs' wishes and additionally

Could it be possible to re-enable the dedicated method: getServerPackMask() ?
Currently I haven't found any way to fetch this info. This info would be needed for example dedimania support for community made titlepacks.

I made it 25

I don't know what is best, I want two things

1) Auto balance runs after players have left from previous match
2) Its possible to just see a little of the map before it starts

(I think we achieve both)

Most important is that auto balance is effective. I heard some old reports that it treats continental ranks as equal regardless that is many more European players, so this can result in bad balance. I am not active right now, so I couldn't offer confirmation for this affect.
