ManiaPlanet 2 Beta Server 2012-10-15b - beta1.3d

[zargono]

Hi,

I'd like to report an annoying change that appeared with the 1.3d server. I play mostly Joust mode, and from this build when the winner makes the last hit, the camera switches instantly and before seeing your opponent being hit.
That gives an awkward feeling, and when your last hit is being made with the railgun, sometimes you don't even see the rail, you just click and win. I don't know if this is a bug or a feature, but when playing yesterday we all agreed it was disturbing.

Secondly, I'm running a Joust server and i'm having some crashing problems since the first 1.3 server. The server runs fine at first, but around two days later it crashes.
When running the first 1.3 build, I noticed some sort of memory leak (the ManiaPlanetServer process would take more and more ram, then start to lag badly because of swapping and finally crash). I didn't see any error in the logs.

Then I upgraded to the 1.3d build yesterday and it crashed again today. Didn't notice though if the memory leak was still there. So I just did a clean install with the latest 2012-10-15b and i'll report back if I have another crash or high memory usage.

in the version 1.3d? did you remove the all new function of elite exp.

humm.. I didn't double check the elite exp title was correctly updated with the new features, I just cheked that it ran.
I'll have a look.

have you fixed the nextmap method too?

yes, that's the same thing.

Thx and good luck for the 1.3e :p

Edit : sorry xbx you are post before me, there is something I do not understand. where is the script ShootMania/elite.txt ?

Ya pas de 1.3e, j'ai juste mis à jour la 1.3d.
Le script de elite est dans le title.gbx. (ce que je voulais dire, c'est que les titres elite et elite exp avaient été mis à jour, mais qu'il y avait un ou deux autres scripts pas dans le titre également mis à jour.)

bref, ya qu'à prendre http://files.maniaplanet.com/ManiaPlane ... 10-15b.zip qui contient tout à la dernière version.

ok , we'll have a look.
(in the meantime you can use the previous joust.title.gbx, I guess)

Yes indeed there was a bug of memory consumption growing forever in 1.3 -> 1.3c ; but it should be fixed in 1.3d .
So please report if you still have the problem! thanks in advance.

This has been fixed for the next update.

Hey,

after running the server since the release yesterday I have to say that the server generally runs better but there´s some strange thing (kremsy already mentioned it I think). You play on the server and it feels good without lags, but then you have a short freeze, then it runs again well, again freeze, runs well, freeze, runs well, .... Something like that. And it happens as well if you play alone on the server (not as often as with many players but it happens). And it´s a strange freeze, don´t know how to describe.

best regards, Jojo

Bad news for you: In the new version there are freezes again, but they are shorter and feel different than the old ones, it's very hard to describe them, but they are annoying too .

hi/salut
