ManiaPlanet 2 Beta Server 2012-07-25 - beta1.2

Thanks slig,

So it looks like the matchsettings syntax hasn't changed for Platform at all then? Are there any "Platform" specific settings we need or should know about?

As for getting the maps....

[Slig]

It seems that the specific script settings can still be set only by xmlrpc script (SetModeScriptSettings ; or in ui for the ingame server case), having them included within the matchsettings file is really missing, I hope that it will come soon (perhaps that they should have force to use lowercase #Setting names to allow an easy use of them in the matchsettings xml...)

Oh I forgot to say that, in this release, is included a workaround for the "I can't connect to my own server because the LAN mode is disabled" problem.
But it only works if the server is on the same machine as the game (it tries connecting to the server on the loopback network interface). Hope this helps.


But yeah, other than that, still didn't had time to fixup missing bits on the dedicated. I hope to get some time next week to do domething for GetCurrentRanking() , have a go on the callbacks, and so on...

Ah yes, that's an other missing bit...

there are two settings for platform mode, that you can change with SetModeScriptSettings ():

• "Duration" which is the time spent on each map in milliseconds (default 5mn)
• "ShowTop10" whether to show or not the top10 finish list on the right (if the servercontroller wants to display something else on this spot)

and the three playlists included in the pack are:

Thanks for that xbx, is there an easier way to get the MAP files themselves as well?

My server is a different machine, but I've just changed my ADSL modem to a different one that lets me use NAT-loopback so I can test again now.

Update went fine

I have Problems with my Joust Server after the Update.

Map change doesn´t Work, if a new Player Joins the running game Restarts the Round.

What did i do wrong ?

Changing Elite gamemode on a dedicated gives me "ERROR: new Mode Unknown". Isn't the Elite script on the server updated or what?

--EDIT--

nvm. Seems gamemode under hotseat was what should be changed. Seems to start up and work just fine now. Just need to playtest it.

Can these be set in the Matchsettings file?

nice, the dedicated file size increases only 40MB compared to the beta1.1!
good work xbx, go 1GB

and yeah, what the hell?
the dedicated incudes all the games and platforms, but it is not possible to manage several servers with one instance!
in thet case it is a poor dedicated concept.
