Compile Maplist Automatically

[getwellsoon]

How do I update my maplist automatically just by dropping maps in a folder? It's somewhat tiresome having to add them everytime I get a new map.

The best is to use a web manager to simplify the processus like AdminServ or the manager of Nadeo http://forum.maniaplanet.com/viewtopic. ... 61&t=12098

Basically, it's possible.. just not by anything publicly released thus far..

A plugin for xaseco, manialive, or another controller would be completely possible.. just needs to be coded up. Did about the same for myself a few years back for a track testing server on tmn.

Edit: But, yeah.. a web script like AdminServ would certainly help make things easier.. at least then you have a file browser, click to add, etc. You'll need to know the basics of hosting a webserver though.. php, apache, etc.

FWIW, I'd only use AdminServ on a local machine (ie, if you are running the server from the same box you will be typing your response on). Security and permission wise, it's not a script that I'd want anybody on the 'outside' finding. Otherwise, there's a stable port of hal.Sascha's RemoteCP for tm2 around these forums somewhere, which is incredibly capable to manage tracklists with.

Otherwise, there's always ingame controllers. FWIW, eXpansion plugin pack for ManiaLive has a file browser built right in.. just drop a track file into the Maps/Downloaded folder, then use the add command to bring up the file browser window, and click the add button.

Right now I'm using DedicatedManager for my map needs. I use htaccess with auth so my admins can still get at it securely. Any maps > 100ish seems to break adminserv. Maybe when I'm bored some weekend I'll throw together a plugin for it. It seems fairly simple.

red tekst, what you mean by that.

I'm also getting errors with some big tracks. ( 35 sec + )

I meant that adminserv won't let me compile maplists if they have more than 100+ maps in the folder.

Which Version of AdminServ are you running? We've got AdminServ running here at some servers with map-lists >4000 maps and it works fine.

Maybe your php settings interfere? Are there any error messages in AdminServer or your webserver's error log?
