XASECO2 (TM²C) v0.90

[Xymph]

As promised, here is the (dare I say it? ) eagerly-awaited first release of XASECO2 for TrackMania² Canyon. This initial distribution is by no means complete, but should allow you to get going together with the latest dedicated server. It also hasn't been exhaustively tested, but most of the functionality remained the same as on TM Forever so hopefully few problems crop up.

So, this v0.90 release is best considered a beta, much like the game and dedicated server are still in beta. The goal is arrive at v1.00 with all the same functionality as XASECO v1.14 for TMF, but this will likely still take a month or more. Documentation is also still lacking. Meanwhile, plugin authors can try their plugins with this release, taking account of the notes below. Since the plugin mechanism remained essentially the same, simple plugins may already work with little change, while others can hopefully be ported (or even made to work for both TMF and TM²C) without too much hassle.

I know undef.de is already hard at work at making his Records Eyepiece and other plugins compatible, but I haven't tried any third-party plugins myself (building this release took a lot of time already). As for Fufi's Widgets and especially Fufi's Menu, my hope is that someone will pick up their maintenance and release XASECO2-compatible versions.

Below are the initial release notes:

Changes in the v0.90 release of XASECO2 compared to XASECO v1.14:

• * the local database and its connection now use UTF-8 as default character set
  * updated the GBXDataFetcher class to handle TM²C Maps and Replays
  * all records, checkpoint and finish times are now displayed in thousands of a second
  * the styles/ directory contains a new set of TM²C-compatible window style templates (see /style list)
  * the panels/ directory contains a new set of TM²C-compatible panel templates (see /admin panel list, /recpanel list and /votepanel list)
  * implemented several security enhancements to prevent unauthorised use of chat commands
  * in multi-page windows all pages are filled up with empty rows to the same number of rows as the first page to ease browsing
  * the player stats panel during the scoreboard is defined by the panels/StatsCanyon.xml template
  * the positions of the arrow button (to open the system message log) and of the player stats panel have been changed so they don't overlap with standard GUI elements
  * all references (command names and descriptions, variables, comments, etc) to Track(s) are replaced by Map(s), most notably:
  • * the plugin.track.php plugin is now called plugin.map.php
    * the /track command is renamed into /map
    * the /admin readtracklist and writetracklist commands changed to /admin readmaplist and writemaplist, respectively
    * the following config.xml options were renamed:
    • * <lists_colortracks> to <lists_colormaps>
      * <show_curtrack> to <show_curmap>
      * <default_tracklist> to <default_maplist> (and its value to maplist.txt)
      * <writetracklist_random> to <writemaplist_random>
      * <trackhist_file> to <maphist_file> (and its value to maphist.txt)
    * the musicserver.xml option <override_track> changed to <override_map>
  * the /admin acdl command is renamed to /admin amdl (allow map download)
  * all references to Coppers are replaced by Planets
  * the plain TMN-style look for windows has been removed
  * this release requires the latest server build 2011-09-05

Notes on plugin-related changes in the v0.90 release of XASECO2:

• * all references (the database table, columns in various tables, objects, variables, comments, etc) to Challenge(s) are replaced by Map(s)
  * all database columns are now CamelCased for consistency
  * the following events were renamed:
  • * onNewChallenge => onBeginMap
    * onNewChallenge2 => onBeginMap2
    * onEndRace => onEndMap
    * onEndRace1 => onEndMap1
    * onRestartChallenge => onRestartMap
    * onRestartChallenge2 => onRestartMap2
    * onTracklistChanged => onMaplistChanged
  * the game modes ($aseco->server->gameinfo->mode) are numbered internally as per the dedicated server numbering (see the description of SetGameMode)
  * new onRulesScriptCallback event for handling the new MP RulesScriptCallback callback
  * deprecated *Challenge* method calls have been replaced with their *Map* equivalents

Features not yet available in the v0.90 release of XASECO2:

• * the Dedimania world records system is not yet available for TM²C, so the corresponding plugins are not included
  * MX (Mania Exchange) support will follow in a future release due to time constraints, so the pertaining plugin and classes are not included, and /add, /admin add and /xlist are disabled
  * planet transactions are not yet possible so the donate plugin and its panels are not included, and /admin pay doesn't work either
  * plugin.matchsave.php has only been partially edited for the aforementioned naming changes, and plugin.rasp_irc.php not at all

But after starting the script, I get an empty file xaseco2.log
and nothing else happens.

all the old scripts for TMNF of xaseco and new one fast4.0.0d, FoxControl_TM2, ManiaLive2 for TM² works good in my serevrs.

i'm use a

And logfile.txt, is that empty too? How exactly are you starting XAseco2?
For support, please provide as much relevant info as possible, not as little.

sorry i'm forget replase rasp.settings.php in folder xaseco2/includes

but now

[XAseco2] Load plugin [plugin.rasp_jukebox.php]
[PHP Warning] require_once(includes/mxinfosearcher.inc.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory on line 18 in file /usr/games/MP03/xaseco2/plugins/plugin.rasp_jukebox.php

need a mxinfosearcher.inc.php file

[Xymph]

start.sh

#!/bin/sh
cd /usr/games/MP03/xaseco2
nice -n -10 /usr/local/bin/php xaseco2.php </dev/null> xaseco2.log 2>&1

logfile.txt is not created

Perhaps you're missing a '&' at the end to put the whole command into the background. Try running it manually from the above directory with just "/usr/local/bin/php xaseco2.php" and see what appears in the shell.

You may get a require_once error, in that case comment out the pertaining mxinfosearcher.inc.php line from plugins/plugin.rasp_jukebox.php. This is fixed in the zip.

Hi Xymph - good to see your new package - I've been hanging out for it!

Ok, I followed the instructions closely and rechecked my settings several times but am getting this error on both the logfile.txt and xaseco2.log files:

'Transport error' to me means I have something wrong in the port settings but I have set this server up with the default 5000 port and haven't changed these either:

' <server_port>2350</server_port>
<server_p2p_port>3450</server_p2p_port>'

My last three attempts to start, as I tried things like - change 127.0.0.1 to localhost etc, brought these (Command Line) messages: 10292, 10699 & 11151. Server is running before XASECO2 start. I'm sure the cause must be simple but I just can't find it. Your expert help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

You need to configure a master admin login in config.xml to get rid of that one.

'Transport error' to me means I have something wrong in the port settings but I have set this server up with the default 5000 port and haven't changed these either:

Or the dedicated isn't running (properly).
To test, try something simpler like the RPC utilities.

Edit: Okay I get some success, step, by step, so need to answer on the things i wrote above, but I will for sure soon be back with other questions

[kremsy]

Is there anything other on Maprestart than in TMF?
In fuffi widgets i dont see any restart event, and the widgets not loading on map restart, but on nextmap and acutal map it workes like I reprogged it.
