Dedimania ALWAYS deletes my recs with my "peablo" account, so I think I'm blacklisted or something. But I never cheat :S, and that problem is very annoying...

Yes, you were banned way back in April last year (when the database scans first started), for cheating during the preceding months.

hi

I already supposed it, I just tested the cheat when I discovered it, but I have left it a year ago. but I have dedimania on my server and it continues losing all my LEGAL records (as I said, since a year ago I never cheat)

please Xymph, what can I do to became unbanned? my account is united...

No cheaters, just a misplaced batch from an RCP-based server that wasn't detected or reported before.  Happens quite regularly with RCP unfortunately. All deleted now, thanks for the heads-up.

Can you plz have a look at records from this servers:

serverlogins:
mygnw-com-tmnf
mygnw-com-tmnf2
mygnw-com-tmnf3

i think we have had a problem with rcp and dedimania on saturday and sunday. thx

Yeah, you did.   My normal database scans yesterday already detected a lot more misplaced records batches than usual which I cleaned up then, and I just completed some special scans for the above server logins to nail the last few.
Thanks for the heads-up, and please try to avoid it happening again.

Im sorry for that, but seems to be a massive rcp problem (perhaps live) everytime the servers are full of players. i hope this will fixed soon and will report the "bug" to the rcp builders. thx

*edit: after a short test it seems to be the dedimania plugin of live. it need several minutes to load the times/records and after disable it rcp runs fine. any ideas about that?

For some reason there are 2 entries for Brickyard 56. The one with UID 8vtL__JKzIUotyzUP5qhJ667vW1 is not needed. In fact, I have no idea where that UID came from. I was having some troubles with a FAST plugin and I think it messed up. You can delete the entry for 8vtL__JKzIUotyzUP5qhJ667vW1.

ISTR tracks without recs are eventually pruned by a regular clean-up job.

The other one is more of a favor. I created a track named GP_Casino Royale (I_i4JDDucuFk7A6ue5HJEoQnW11), then I made some cosmetic changes and renamed it to GP_Casino (0_Md6M_0o9XvsmkEw9x_zc45jn2). The track is identical in both. Can you transfer the records for GP_Casino Royale to GP_Casino? You could also delete the records for I_i4JDDucuFk7A6ue5HJEoQnW11 as that challenge will never be used again.

Transfer, no; delete, done.

I seem to have lost some records on Dedimania.

In particular my Montezumas record, set in CUP mode (rounds): http://dedimania.com/tmstats/?do=stat&a … ow=RECORDS

I almost never touch RPG tracks in terms of records clean-up, since they're rarely the target of cheaters, being so overly long and all... 
So I don't know what happened there, if anything.
If the number of checkpoints for any records don't match the track's CP count, then they're always deleted though, as that's a controller or storage fluke.

tecfan wrote:

don't you have some sort of log or cache? The record was set on a "funpark server", but I am not 100% sure how it is written (special characters etc)

Daily backups of the database are kept for a week or so, but without more specific data it's impossible to search that due its size. And there's no point, since records that are gone (for whatever reason) cannot be restored anyway.

Hey guys, I just drove first dedimania record on "ESL - Moofushi Island Resort" (here it is), but it was not autosaved on my computer. I just wanna ask you, if it is possible to download replays of dedimania-records from this page here. Is it saved anywhere? I would be really glad if yes ;P.

no, actually the controllers don't send the replays to dedimania.

I'm having a huge Dedimania problem the past days.
Out of a sudden almost all of my dedimania records disappeared and no new records are being saved.

This problem only occurs with my login "joana4ever". It's working fine with other logins.

It was working perfectly fine some weeks ago and I haven't changed anything since then.

Not just the "past days" or "some weeks", that login was banned for cheating three and a half months ago.

joana4ever wrote:

That has to be an error in your database then. I never used any cheat at all so please check your "evidence" once again because that has to be a mistake.

Impossible, there's just a week of daily backups to check back.

I am Contracted with n!faculty so i sure know how to play properly and i would be really really stupid to cheat in any way while being contracted with such a multigaming organisation.

Well, to get unbanned you can follow these instructions.

joana4ever wrote:

i followed the instructuion
I also mentioned my login in the payment massage.
Can you tell when it will work again?

Would not have been bad to mention also the donation reason as i missed it until seeing your last post.

Your login is unbanned. Don't forget that the 2nd chance is also the last one.
You should be able to make records again on all servers on which you can enter.

But it is possible that you still can't enter on some servers immediatly, because :
- i don't know when Xymph will update his global blacklist, it should be fast, at most few days. You will be able to check it on : http://www.gamers.org/tmf/dedimania_blacklist.txt (without forgetting to reload). Edit: it's done.
- As indicated in the 2 posts there http://dedimania.com/SITE/forum/viewtop … 1614#p1614 , once removed from the global list then it will disapear from the various servers blacklist (which use it) when these will be restarted, which can take few days/weeks depending on each server admin.

Hi Dedimania team and thanx for the great job.

This is a selfish report about how a (probably) world record on a classic demo island track disappeared.

Login : _icyrus
Track : Infinity by Panis (10EnwERPBHgMNtkOCv4r3eqWgR7) .
Time : 40.39
Record date : around 2010-07-27 21:40:00 UTC
Server : eyebosislandparadise

Just before I drove 40.46 at 2010-07-27 21:31:09 UTC and it is still recorded in the database :

http://www.dedimania.com/tmstats/?do=st … ow=RECORDS

I saw the new record (40.39) on the dedimania panel on the screen after I drove it yesterday but this morning it has disappeared.

The same problem appends 5 days ago.

Hope it can highlight a more global issue.

Regards,

TEP=CYRUS=
