Dedicated server for TMF, version 2008-12-05

Hello!

Dedicated server for TMF, version 2008-12-05
You can download it from
http://files2.trackmaniaforever.com/Tra ... -12-05.zip
or
http://files2.trackmaniaforever.com/Tra ... -12-05.tgz

(both contain the same files, and windows and linux executable.)

Changes:

Referee: Fixes the issue with the referree banning legit players. (with the "Fiber Terminate" error)
(bug introduced in 2008-10-07) Players were banned because of "coherence check" in some multilaps challenges.
CupMode: Make sure the scores stay properly ordered, when a winner changes to spectator mode.
CupMode: Sometimes players were still included in the race for the second place after having won the match.
Referee: Better timeout to avoid kicking referees at the end of a race in rounds mode
Added some checks to detect players faking their logins. (will only report the abuse to the master server for now)
Add some infos in the log when a player is banned.
Referee: Big challenges with heavy mediatracker use were locking the server in the podium when a referee was enabled.

For referees, you also need a new fix for the game:
It's available here:
nations: http://files2.trackmaniaforever.com/TmN ... _Setup.exe
united: http://files2.trackmaniaforever.com/TmU ... _Setup.exe

(it's really only needed for use as referee, it's exactly identical to 2008-07-30, except for the referee mode fixes.)

Code: Select all

Ban (playerlogin): .

Quick question about the ban. What is the use of a logfile if the ban option is written in it but it doesnt show anymore figures to the solution.

Code: Select all

Ban dccw1lla: Because of Cheat.

would be a nice option to see it for the future or anyother reasons.

Damn! I can't use the game fix since my game is installed by Steam! Any chances to get in .zip or .rar?

I made a rar with all files which changed from 2.11.11 to 2.11.19 : http://dedimania.net/gamefix/tmuf_fix2.11.19.rar (i compared both directory using winmerge).
Of course, make a backup of your game directory, and of your My Documents\Trackmania directory too, before overwriting files !
And read the readme.txt

Yeah, I know that. I'm downloading.

Is there any difference between Steam and the original one? And ya know, I hate Steam because whenever I've exited the game, an ad will appear. It advertising TMUF tho. Oh, does TMUF can only buy online? I'm on Malaysia and I wonder if there is any store that I can go to buy TMUF.

No, at least in some countries (that sure for western europe), but probably yes in some (or many?) others. For Malaysia i don't know.

Ok, so these updates are primarily for servers, but I am especially interested in the referee files... how does one become a referee? Is it voluntary on a per server basis, or is there a (national or international) pool of refs available for use at all servers?

Knutselmaaster · Post by **Knutselmaaster** » 10 Jan 2009 18:00

A referee is in fact a game client that is dedicated to the verification of times on a server.
Everybody can be referee when playing on a server and it's also possible to let the game start without graphics , just to validate the times.
