XASECO2 (TM²C) v1.00

[Xymph]

As promised, a new release of XASECO2 is now available. This version 1.00 update brings the support for TM²C more or less in sync with that of the current XASECO for TMF and TMN ESWC, although there will be another X1 release as well to catch up with little things found while working on X2.

This release adds back the /mxrecs command, implements support for the Dedimania MaxRank system, and applies various smaller improvements and bug fixes as outlined in the full release notes:

New features and other changes in the v1.00 release of XASECO2:

• * new /mxrecs command as well as MX World Record at the start of a new track, based on the updated MXInfoFetcher class and analogue to TMX support in XASECO, so see the relevant release notes for details
  * new support for the Dedimania MaxRank system:
  • * the default MaxRank is 30, meaning that players normally cannot attain a record outside the top-30
    * when a server MaxRank has been upgraded (still to be fully implemented by Slig) then all players on that server can attain records up to that larger rank
    * when a player's MaxRank has been upgraded (ditto) then that player can attain records up to his/her rank, or the server MaxRank if that is still larger
    * /dedirecs and /dedisectms show all known records for a track, including those outside the top-30
    * /dedilast and /dedirange also operate on the last known record, even if that is outside the top-30
    * the /dedistats output includes the Server MaxRank and your player MaxRank
  * the /jukebox, /add, /admin add and /admin addlocal commands now check the chosen track against the server settings and ignore it if it doesn't match
  * improved error checking and handling in the Dedimania system
  * added a dynamic idle period to the main loop in order to reduce the CPU load if system usage allows it (thanks oliverde8)
  * the game mode values are now available as constants Gameinfo::SCPT (0), RNDS (1), TA (2), TEAM (3), LAPS (4), CUP (5), STNT (6)
  * updated the MXInfoFetcher and MXInfoSearcher classes to include the URLs for downloading replays
  * removed the obsolete onChallengeListModified event

Bug fixes in the v1.00 release of XASECO2:

• * /dedisectms shows no sector values and generates PHP warnings (ugly oops) -- fixed
  * the /dedisectms header shows the maximum number of local records instead of Dedimania ones -- fixed
  * /dedipb causes PHP warnings for a player without Dedimania record on a track with fewer than the maximum number of records -- fixed

Remember these installation/upgrade notes:

Important:

• To configure your server for the central Dedimania database, you must copy the login value in the <masterserver_account> section from your server's dedicated_cfg.txt file into the corresponding section of the dedimania.xml file. Further, register your server with the Dedimania system, generate a DedimaniaCode, and add that in dedimania.xml as well.
• Open port 8082 on your firewall/router for communication with the central Dedimania server.
• In the zip file, all *.XML and *.PHP config files are located inside the newinstall/ directory. This means that you can (and have to) unzip the download and replace all the PHP code files, without worrying about overwriting your customized config files. However, for every XML/PHP config file that was updated (see here), you must replace your version with the one from the newinstall/ directory, or compare them and add any new/changed configuration settings to your version to insure the system remains working correctly.
• For a new installation, go into the newinstall/ directory and move all *.XML files into the main directory, next to aseco.php, and *.PHP files into the includes/ directory.

I love the Gameinfo constants.

But in my opinion it would be better to write Gameinfo::SCRIPT, Gameinfo::ROUNDS and Gameinfo::STUNTS instead of the current one, because "i" have to look how they named.... but anyway very useful and already used.

EDIT: Just noticed that the RecordsWidget did not display the WorldRecord from MX for a Map, but if i click on it then the Window did display the Records.

EDIT2: I have found the problem, change plugin.mxinfo.php line 15 from

Code: Select all

//Aseco::registerEvent('onBeginMap2', 'mx_worldrec');

to

Code: Select all

Aseco::registerEvent('onBeginMap2', 'mx_worldrec');

And EDIT3:

The chat message like "MX World Record: 0:43.425 by NICKNAME" did not display the time. Here is the fix for that:

Edit plugin.mxinfo.php line 32 from

Code: Select all

      ($aseco->server->gameinfo->mode == Gameinfo::STNT ?
       $mxdata->recordlist[0]['replaytime'] :
       formatTime($mxdata->recordlist[0]['time'])),

to

Code: Select all

      ($aseco->server->gameinfo->mode == Gameinfo::STNT ?
       $mxdata->recordlist[0]['stuntscore'] :
       formatTime($mxdata->recordlist[0]['replaytime'])),

You'll get used to it. I thought they looked better at approximately the same length, and since 4 characters sufficed for four of the modes, the others had to be abbreviated a bit.

Hmm, good catches, must have been sleepy when working on those bits. And the 'stuntscore' change was needed in two more places. In my defense though, there are no Stunt maps yet, so that part couldn't be tested.

Thanks for catching that, the main zip has been updated, and the updated plugin.mxinfo.php is also available separately for the <20 people who already downloaded that.

Hi,

Thanks for your job Xymph
One question please, in musicserver.xml i can see

Code: Select all

 <!-- full http link to directory holding the song files     -->
        <!-- http server must allow direct download of those files  -->
        <!-- OR a path below the server's UserData directory (e.g.  -->
        <!-- "Music/") which allows serving songs without webserver -->
...

I'm using http links, but what is best performance for clients ?
Using http protocol or TM2 calls ?
(http serv and TM2 are on the same system for my case)

Thanks

For clients, I don't know, but moving the burden of music serving out of the dedicated to a separate http server is always better for the dedicated server.

Update done, 0 error, 0 warning, all goes well

I see : "when a server MaxRank has been upgraded"

How doing that ? Simply modify the value ?
Something to do on dedimania.net ?
What will be the futur ? All servers will use differents value ?

Sorry for this "near double" post

You'll have to ask Slig, he needs to set that up. I warned him these questions would come up. He seems to be AWOL the past two weeks though.

Houston we have a problem...

Dedimania is down for all servers, see http://dedimania.net/tm2stats/?do=stat&SrvOrder=MR-DESC
Works in progress ?

Slig made a coding change on the master server this morning but was apparently a little too sleepy to avoid a syntax error. I fixed it.

Thx for the fix Xymph

Little question, I dont know if it is xaseco, dedimania or MX related ^^

On the track "tiptoe" ( http://tm.mania-exchange.com/tracks/view/3789/tiptoe ), dedi wont upload new records we drive on our server. I checked and noticed that it has been updated on mx. We have the new version on our server. I dont fully understand how the new MX works, but I think you can update your track there while keeping the track ID. Which means that there are several track versions with the same MX ID around.

Could that be the reason that our records are not uploading ? If so, what would have to change ? Dedi or MX ? ^^ Or is there a seting that I missed ?

MXID's dont have anything to do with it. Just open the track with notepad++ or any other pad and search for

if its the same then your settings of dedimania are not good.

hope this clears some stuff out.

[Mistral]

Our settings seem to be just fine as it works for all tracks but TipToe.

Interesting, that you can find it twice on dedimania ... one with 0 races.
