Challenge data

[TGYoshi]

I've found this:

Code: Select all

	/**
	 * Returns a struct containing the infos for the next challenge.
	 * The struct contains the following fields : Name, UId, FileName,
	 * Author, Environnement, Mood, BronzeTime, SilverTime, GoldTime,
	 * AuthorTime, CopperPrice, LapRace, NbLaps and NbCheckpoints.
	 * (NbLaps and NbCheckpoints are also present but always set to -1)
	 * @return Challenge
	 */
	function getNextChallengeInfo()
	{
		return Structures\Challenge::fromArray($this->execute(ucfirst(__FUNCTION__)));
	}

Great.
Now I've got this:

Code: Select all

$challengeObj = $this->connection->getNextChallengeInfo();

(thanks mlepp)

My awesome brain thinks I can use all those cool things from the fist snippet.
Trying:

Code: Select all

passthru('D:\UniServer\php\php.exe -f "D:\TM2\ManiaLive2_r255_beta\loadMX.php" '. [b]$challengeObj->UId[/b]);

UUMG ERROR "UId" DOES NOT EXISTTT .

...
Took a look at a way mlepp used it:

Code: Select all

$this->challengeData->name

WUUUUUUUUUUUUT? That seems to work. Without capital 'N' at 'name'.

Changing my own snippet to:

Code: Select all

passthru('D:\UniServer\php\php.exe -f "D:\TM2\ManiaLive2_r255_beta\loadMX.php" '. [b]$challengeObj->name[/b]);

works fine!
.. Except for the fact that I want the UId, as it sucks to have multiple words in a command and it's "haxx-able".


Someone explain please? The documentation is way too unclear.

To solve that kind of problem, just var_dump($challengeObj)..

Aren't you supposed to use $this->storage->nextChallenge->uId for that kind of stuff? (Also note that only the i is capital.)

I've figured out this page:
http://api.manialive.com/ManiaLive/Dedi ... ummary.htm
a few minutes before you posted and so figured out it's uId..
Thanks anyway though. Forgot about var_dump .

Just note that it's quite outdated. Looks like manialive keeps up Nadeo traditions when it comes to documentation.

Ehm, the stuff there is still valid, as far as I know . Or is there new stuff?

[w1lla]

Otherwise try to see if these are ok.

Maybe, but I wouldn't rely on it. Better look directly at the code, like w1lla suggested.

You can find some Easter eggs there.. Like this one:

Code: Select all

>php bootstrapper.php --help
[... Regular startup dialog ...]
SQLite is disable, threading will not work. ManiaLive may encounter some perfoma
nce trouble.ManiaMod - TrackMania Dedicated Manager v0.3 (2010 Aug 16)
Authors :
        Philippe "farfa" Melot, Maxime "Gouxim" Raoust, Florian "aseco" Schnell
Usage: php index.php [args]
[...]

So either no one looked through this file since last August or the guy simply didn't care. Which is both not so good .

Still hard to find the correct file if you are just trying to start with Manialive .
