[Plugin] TA Auto Track Timer

[nocturne]

First of all, as with any of my codings/plugins -- use at your own risk.

Also.. I haven't had the chance to even run this yet -- but I think it'll work..

Config:

Code: Select all

plug-ins.load = nocturne\TA_AutoTimer

; TA Track Timer equation:  (author_time X multiplier) + adjustment
;plugins.nocturne\TA_AutoTimer.debug = false      ; enable/disable debug reporting
;plugins.nocturne\TA_AutoTimer.multiplier = 6      ; set the track time multiplier
;plugins.nocturne\TA_AutoTimer.adjustment = 60     ; set the track time adjustment (+/-)
;plugins.nocturne\TA_AutoTimer.min_time = 180      ; set the max track time
;plugins.nocturne\TA_AutoTimer.max_time = 360      ; set the min track time

Plugin [/libraries/ManiaLivePlugins/nocturne/TA_AutoTimer.php]

Code: Select all

namespace ManiaLivePlugins\nocturne\TA_AutoTimer;

			if ($authorTime){
				$authorTime = $authorTime * 1000;									// think we need this...  ms->secs
				$time = round(($this->multiplier * $authorTime) + $adjustment);
				if ($time < $this->min_time) {
					$time = $this->min_time;
				}
				if ($time > $this->max_time) {
					$time = $this->max_time;
				}
			if ($this->debug) Console::println('['.date('H:i:s').'] [TA_AutoTimer] Timer active:  AT: '.$authorTime.'secs ;  Computed TimeLimit: '.$time.'secs...');
			$this->connection->setTimeAttackLimit($time);
			}
		} else {
			if ($this->debug) Console::println('['.date('H:i:s').'] [TA_AutoTimer] Timer inactive:  Not in TimeAttack mode...');
		}
	}
	
}

Edit: FWIW, this should also run on previous versions of ML and on TMF with a simple edit.. I believe you just need change this:

Code: Select all

	function onEndMap () {
		if ($this->connection->getNextGameInfo()->gameMode == 2) {
			$nextChallenge = $this->connection->getNextMapInfo();

to this:

Code: Select all

	function onEndChallenge () {
		if ($this->connection->getNextGameInfo()->gameMode ==1) {
			$nextChallenge = $this->connection->getNextChallengeInfo();

Re-Edit: Another note... should place the plugin load/config lines at the bottom of your config, especially when running MLEPP. Lacking any more knowledge on how the plugin events are handled, I can only assume ML handles them in the order in which they were loaded, so loading this plugin behind a Jukebox plugin should result in this plugin supporting track timing when a track is queued for restart -- or at least in a perfect world.

To devs, what events come after EndChallenge before the end of the challenge, if any (I'm sure there's a StatusChanged event that would fit the bill)..? Is there anything equivalent to the old 'onPlayerWins'?

You can use onStatusChanged($statusCode, $statusName). Found out that one can use status code 6 safely.
Manialive has all the data cached at object which you can access $this->storage, but for safety (especially when using onStatusChange event) you should propably use direct calls to dedicated.

if you enable storage events, you can use callback onPlayerNewBestTime(player $player, int $best_old, int $best_new)
thoght i'm not sure if this is what you are looking for.

Status 6 should do quite nicely... thx.

I don't see the need to use player times -- the author time should work best, just in case a single player finds a ridiculous cut or something along those lines. And I figure I might as well fetch the info directly rather than use the storage objects -- it only occurs once a round, and doesn't run in any loops or anything.

Though, a new 'onGameModeChanged' event in ML would be quite handy.. hehe
