How to automatically set rpoints

[Welly]

Hi Xymph, hi everybody!

I'm currently searching for how to automatically set the rpoints value in round mode when starting/restarting my TMF server.

My server runs Xaseco 1.09 (great ).

Actually I have to set manually motogp points by the following command (in game):

/admin rpoints motogp

Thanks.

From Xymph's site, http://www.gamers.org/tmn/#config, searching for rpoints I found:

<default_rpoints></default_rpoints>
On TMF with plugin.rpoints.php enabled, this defines whether to initialize the server with a default Rounds points system at XASECO start-up. Set it to a custom system with specified values (X,Y,...,Z) or a common system by name (f1gp, motogp, etc), just like the parameters to the /admin rpoints command. If empty, the standard points system is initialized.

I believe that's in the config.xml

[Welly]

Thanks, I already found this config file and edited it but no effect in game

This is not in plugins.xml but in plugins/plugin.rpoints.php
Plugin is just a xml file to set on/off a plugin

[lille79]

??

1. Do not edit the plugins/plugin.rpoints.php-file
2. You activate the rpoints-plugin in the plugins.xml.
3. Then you set in the config.xml:

Code: Select all

<default_rpoints>motogp</default_rpoints>

Sorry for my last message, I confused between config.xml and plugin.xml.

IT WORKS now! Thanks a lot!

I also try to set them to "motogp" and I did it exact the same way like described, but I have a United server and it doesn´t work:

Because of this:

<default_rpoints></default_rpoints>
On TMF with plugin.

Is there also a way to set it in config on a United server?

TMUF or TMNF makes no difference, but if <default_rpoints> is empty as shown above, then indeed nothing happens. Just follow lille79's instructions and it should work. If not, include more information like an excerpt from the start-up log.

[Big_Al]

Thanks for the answer.
I am pretty sure I did the settings right, here the config.xml

Code: Select all

...
<!-- the remaining settings are for TMF only          -->
<default_rpoints>motogp</default_rpoints>
<afk_force_spec>True</afk_force_spec>
<clickable_lists>True</clickable_lists>
...

and the plugins.xml

Code: Select all

...
<plugin>plugin.musicserver.php</plugin>
<plugin>plugin.uptodate.php</plugin>
<plugin>plugin.rpoints.php</plugin>
...

But the server always starts with standard point system

[Xymph]

But the server always starts with standard point system

How do you conclude that?
What rounds points message appears in aseco.log during XAseco startup?
After startup, what is shown by /rpoints and /admin rpoints show ?

Hey Xymph, sorry took a while we hat to format our root server, okay all installed again, same result.

When I type in manually "/admin rpoints motogp" it switches and works.

Hey Xymph, sorry took a while we hat to format our root server, okay all installed again, same result.

Not okay. You're running old dedicated (2.11.22) and XAseco (v1.09) versions.

I don't see a "Initialize default rounds points" or similar message during startup, so that confirms the default rounds point system wasn't set, but I'm not going to try to figure out why for obsolete versions. Upgrade and retry first.

[Big_Al]

Okay Xymph, I have to apologize for wasting Your time

I updated to 1.10 and I just did the usual changes to personalize and now it works without any further complications.

Thx for answering, keep the good work up!
