This is already fixed for 1.0, but can not work on relay servers since spectator target is always set to player himself.

• To use BEST(1st dedi) as referent point : that is already what it does
• To use specific record 2nd,3rd,4th... as referent point
• To use IDEAL as referent point (ideal would pick best cp times from every record...for example if 3rd record have best 1st cp time it would use 1st cp from 3rd record as referent point for that cp and if 1st record have best time on 2nd cp it would use it as referent point for that cp etc.)

Lets see what can be done.
*edit*
added /cps [number] command to change dedimania compare reference point.
the command name can be changed, as i don't know which command they use for fast, would be nice to use the same command name.

In Fast command is /cp

Hi,

I created a new Dedicated Server and gave eXpansion instead of XAseco a try.
All in all I really really like it, but there are some issues (maybe my mistake, maybe a bug):

1. I tried to install the latest version 1.0.0.5 from your website. I installed it on my Ubuntu Linux machine (virtual machine) as you described in your tutorial on Git. Then I started Manialive/eXpansion but only two outputs appeared in the Shell. Ingame I could write "/help" but the only command available for help was "man".
After some time I found the problem: I expected that all necessary files are included in the downloaded archive, but actually the complete "ManiaLivePlugins"-folder was missing in the libraries-folder. So I downloaded V. 0.9.8.7 that includes this folder and copied it to my server. From now on it worked perfectly

2. When I rightclick on the screen the menu sometimes appears, sometimes not. Also when I click on a menu point if the menu is open it sometimes works, sometimes not. Is this normal?

3. Just a question: Is there a init.d script somewhere for eXpansion or would you modify the init.d-script for the dedicated server to wait some time and then start eXpansion?


All in all I really like eXpansion very much! I program C# at work, maybe I will have a look at PHP and write an own plugin. I already had a look at your source code and already understood pretty much of it.

Best regards,

Hi, There are 2 ways to get the source code for 1.0.0.5

one is the old way, we put all the code and dependencies in it, we tend to do it because it makes the install faster. 0.9.8.7 was always using that method.

1.0.0.5 uses composer, composer is basically a package manager for PHP. You say which libraries and which versions you use and there you go. That is why ManiaLivePlugins is missing everything is in vendor directory where it should be.

The reason why the last version didn't work is our fault The zip file doesn't have a proper config file. It won't load the plugins I will fix it tomorrow first thing back from work.

You should install 1.0.0.5 and then simply copy your 0.9.8.7 config directory into the the new install and you should be fine.

Can you try the latest version it should be a bit better. The issue is sometimes the game doesen't allow us to detect the right click, doing a left click just before fixes it.

Well no, the issue is there is a lot of ways to start eXpansion as you don't need to install it multiple times for each server you have. Need to think how it could be done but not a priority right now.

Happy you like it, and would be even happier to have a developer doing plugins, don't hasitate if you have any questions.

/dedicps is not showing more than 7cp times...

/dedcps works fine at my side on the server

endbase wrote:/dedcps works fine at my side on the server

Maybe you have bigger monitor xD

I would Imagine that there would be horizontal slider to check more than 7cps but there isn't one

Maybe because I have used the command /Dedicps No I dont know why it is just working on my server strange then

works for me as well, there is the slider on the right.

Can you post an image ?
