[Beta2] ManiaPlanet 2 Beta Server 2012-12-20

hehe i have time to check but cannot update because 10 ppl on our server and i dont wanna kick them out
anyway after 6 hours of playing with 7-12 ppl on server without latest update they confirmed server running smoothly .. only known bugs .. no skins, planet ransactions off and point showing. Which will be solved with this update... i hope

EDIT AFTER UPDATE... after 5 maps .. with 6 ppl on.. server seems work faster than before.. planet transactions working.. Skins dont work .. no sign of skin exchange in stats , after looking into players profile.. showing no skin not even name of it ..

Sorry to derail slightly, but masleyko, will you let me know how to check for player skin exchanges? I've often wondered about that when I've had troubles sharing mine out (even with locators.) The last time for me it was a blocked port, but I didn't know where to find out if it was even trying.

Many thanks in advance.

You know how to show FPS in game ? press that key twice.. in case of p2p traffic you will see files in right column as well as IP .
If you dont know which key it is.. go to config controls.. general inputs..2nd page.. ANALYSER key..
when on server .. press once.. to show small stats in left upper corner.. press twice for full stats.. press third time for close.

Still the same bug as in 2012-12-19:

I think i found a bug:

I want to create a Server in a Custom - Titlepack -> I tried Platform and Raid from meuh21.
I had 1 server running before in each of this packs. Now i can´t even handle to start one of those...
Very frustrating, but you wanna know the bug so:

When i start the server in one of those titles it is REQUIRED to run in script mode as gametype.
(Yes i know platform has its own type of script, but i don´t liked that you can´t beat records and so on, so i decided to start it with time-attack - and this worked well.. also the players liked it. When i try to start my platform server with TA-Valid maps it says something like "Incompatible Maps") server is know running in TA-Mode is Canyon with my Time-Valid Platform Maps.
So how can i get the Script of Time-Attack or Rounds for Platform and Raidpack? Changeing gamemodes in matchsetting didn´t work for me.

Hope this gets noticed, because i don´t want to let this both titlepacks die

Sweet, thanks! I use the shortened version of that (hitting the key once) to watch my FPS, ping (and in ShootMania, the SnapshotDeltaTime) and have seen the more detailed stuff, but didn't realize that info was part of what was shown there. I should have thought to look there first; I'll take my newb card now!

Thanks again! I will check it out.

Maybe someone who knows how to enable the 'callvote change mode settings' button in the 'manage server' categorie?

How do you guys typically go about upgrading your servers? I have been backing up my elite maps folder, matchsettings file, config file, and .sh start script and placing them into the new server. (Although I completely started from scratch with beta 2 just in case) Was just curious if there were a "better" way or if anyone saw any flaws with this method.

i usually make a backup of whole tm2 server folder ... then extract zip and copy and overwrite to server folder..

I have been making a brand new folder, then using Beyond Compare to move the right stuff over from my old version. That way I can always see what has changed, and if I need to back-rev, I can quickly stop the new server and launch the old.

That said, I also make multiple dedicated.cfg files that I can quickly copy to the new without overwriting, then compare those to the new default one to see any additions/omissions need to be made to my custom ones.
