[Solved] Other Vreplay ?

Hi, sorry if this has been posted before but I did search for "VReplay is bad" before making this new post.

So for the last 8-10 months all the maps ive added to TMX
http://tm.mania-exchange.com/tracksearc ... lie-maykit
will not save dedimania times. If you look at the comments on my maps they say dedi times not saved. This happens with xaseco and eXpansion.
After 2 days of chatting to Reaby and W1lla I have done a full clean re-install of maniaplanet using the Minimal setup.
I have added nothing to the game like customs skins or avatars.
Today I ran the "ManiaPlanet_logs - Shortcut" here is the log file
https://www.dropbox.com/s/9u93c9isls6sh ... -06-03.txt
and here is a img of the server with eXpansion and the error produced there
https://www.dropbox.com/s/py777ewpe91vxqm/error-1.jpg.
As you can see eXpansion shows "Error string:Warning in method_helper.php(1196): VReplay is bad !"
I also get the similar result with xaseco.
This only happens for MY maps, all other author maps I can save dedi times on.
This is my Maniaplanet version

I do hope that there is someone who can offer help/advice.

At this moment in time the only thing I can think of is that my login has issues "willie-maykit" with minus sign :cry:

After todays MP update/bug fixes I added another map to TMX. http://tm.mania-exchange.com/s/tr/73137
Using eXpansion and xaseco as controllers I played my latest map 2x with each controller.
Server set in-game not dedicated.
The issue is still the same "VReplay is bad".
No one can save dedi times on my maps.
Very disappointed with ManiaPlanet this year and this annoying bug, im missing out on a good part of this game.

very strange i just tryed your map on my server and i get the same error with "VReplay ist bad"
normally i have no problem with dedi saving on this server and also on other servers. Im using UASECO.

i will try to investigate further. but i am not very experienced so i do not know if i will find something.

Edit: i read that with our login. my suggestion is to create a demo account with a simple login (only normal chars) and then try again with this account. Then you know at least the reason.

The problem might lie in the fact that there is an issue in Base64 encoding. But it doesnt tell why it failed/bad.

That is the problem :P.

So you get the same error on all server controllers because its the response from the dedimania server when trying to store the rec.
All replays are valid when validating with Maniaplanet, i tried VReplays from both saved and exported from the game and saved from the server. So its seems its not really a problem with Maniaplanet itself.
Therefore a post in the dedimania forum might be a good idea.

Maybe because of the first post was made by "williemaykit" and your last was made by "willie-maykit". Do you have two accounts? ;)

Btw: Can you also post the link to the dedimania forum please?
