Here is Fast 3.2.3t


Fast3.2.x is TM Forever only !   ...and is will not work with old TMO/TMS/TMN.

For those under windows, use the version fast3.2.3t-winphp5.zip (it contain a minimal php5.xx, avoiding you to install php5 or modify the php.exe path in the script, and you are sure it works with it), or fast3.2.3t.zip for linux, and fastupdate3.2.3t for simple updates.
Be carefull to have a copy of start scripts and fast.php if you modified them.

The .txt files should be sufficient to make it work. Please take the time to read and test before asking for nothing. A minimal basics are mandatory, at least you should first know how to make your dedicated work....


Plugins for Fast3.2 (if you have also a plugin up to date, just ask me to add the link here !) :
- Mcm FAST-Plugin : multi functions plugin, by mcm.
- Glider Plugin Pack : multi functions plugin, by Glider.
- swearbot : Chatbot/Badword plugin, by Mat-d-Rat
- IRC Bot : irc bot plugin, by -tK-
- ChatBot and AutoShuffle : chatbot and autoshuffle plugins, by phoenix
- plugin.99.mywelcome : will popup a manialink message at player connection (Slig)
- plugin.99.mymessage : send auto messages to the chat every x minutes or at map start (Slig)
- plugin.99.forcemod : force random mods, can be used to set loading screens (adapted by Slig)


Note: Dedimania.com/dedimania.net is a rent dedicated server (by myself), if you want to participate, all donations are welcome, and else i'm never against some tmu coppers (send to 'slig').

Note2: if you want the autoupdate feature to work then you need the php module php_zip ; for windows users the php5 directory included in the archive have it, for linux you will have to add it yourself if your php5 don't include it yet (or else the autoupdate will just be inactive).

3.2.1s
------
Too many time and changes to list all now...
- fixed manialinks had sometimes strange reaction on some servers,
        should be fixed
- fixed tm_substr() now make a full/real control that a utf8 string is
        comatible with the tm dedicated. All plugins should use it
        on player nicknames or map names (btw for players you can use
        NickDraw, NickDraw2 or NickDraw3 in players most time).
        (please don't use it for each draw : store the result and use it !)
- fixed now if the call of methods to  the dedicated make a utf8 related
        error, Fast try to fix it and resend. Btw it is a rescue
        feature ! plugins have to use tm_substr() to avoid such case
        to happen. In case of utf8 error, if debug >= 2 then the
        call is serialized and saved to a file, which can be used
        to help debug.
- added method to dedicated can now be sent asynchronously (ie not
        loosing time waiting for the response). It can be used
        explicitally using addCallAsync() instead of addCall().
        Manialinks and chat now use it automatically, which should
        improve script reactivity when there are many players, and
        also make manialinks faster.
- added max player control when the server is ladder >60K (it does not
        set the max player number, but verify that the max is
        respected and put the last new player as spec if needed).
        Setting as player above max number (with Fast, not using external
        controller) is now also forbidden.
- added server and spec passwords control, forbidding them for ladder servers
- added some chat commands added or fixed, mainly :
- added a false start feature, which restart round/race in case of early
        'del' or netlost at beginning. It is disabled by default, and
        have associated /falsestart (or /fs) commands.
- added /team score back #, /rounds score back # and /cup score back #
        which permit to set back to score of previous round.
- added now restart/next/prev don't reset Cup scores : to reset scores
        use /cup reset , /adm next reset , /adm prev reset , /adm restart reset

About dedicated, please remember that if your script is on the same server as the dedicated, it is supposed to access to it using the IP 127.0.0.1, and also that in the dedicated config file <force_ip_address> and <bind_ip_address> should always be empty unless you really need it (which is exceptional, for exemple 2 public IP on the computer)

Have fun
