QUOTE MANIAPLANET FORUM POST
"So for the last 8-10 months all the maps ive added to TMX
http://tm.mania-exchange.com/tracksearc … lie-maykit
will not save dedimania times. If you look at the comments on my maps they say dedi times not saved. This happens with xaseco and eXpansion.
After 2 days of chatting to Reaby and W1lla I have done a full clean re-install of maniaplanet using the Minimal setup.
I have added nothing to the game like customs skins or avatars.
Today I ran the "ManiaPlanet_logs - Shortcut" here is the log file
https://www.dropbox.com/s/9u93c9isls6sh … -06-03.txt
and here is a img of the server with eXpansion and the error produced there
https://www.dropbox.com/s/py777ewpe91vx … .jpg?dl=0.
As you can see eXpansion shows "Error string:Warning in method_helper.php(1196): VReplay is bad !"
I also get the similar result with xaseco.
This only happens for MY maps, all other author maps I can save dedi times on.
This is my Maniaplanet version
https://www.dropbox.com/s/j1jpf4n4c4w3ro2/version.jpg
I do hope that there is someone who can offer help/advice.

At this moment in time the only thing I can think of is that my login has issues "willie-maykit" with minus sign."

Ive been trying to resolve this issue now for a while.
As the last post in the above ManiaPlanet forum link suggests I have posted this here to see if its a dedi issue.
Maybe some one here can shed some light on this.

If there is any more info needed please ask.

Well, that seems very strange (btw you already knows that).
Anyway, if you get "VReplay is bad" then it means either of :
- your vreplay is really bad
- vreplay is badly sent
- dedimania failed to check your vreplay and think wrongly that it is bad.

Some more info and tests would be helpful :
- does it work on your server and script with maps made by others ?
- does it work on your server with your map for another player ?
- does it work with your maps on some other server ? (for you ? and for others ?)

Also to be sure :
* is your server running on your playing computer or on another one ? if first case, are you sure that the script is connected to the dedicated server and not your game (ie the connection port is really the one used by the dedicated) ?
* you are not trying on the current map after running the script ? => you should always wait next map or restart (because the script will know only times of runs started after the script is on, but the vreplay of best time will eventually be one of a run made before the script was started, making a mismatch)

Depending of your answer we'll know if it's definitively a problem on your side. If not then some tests on your vreplay will have to be done...

THX TX-Slig for the reply

Testing with w1lla as server host (outside of my country) will post back soon.

i tried it too on my own server which has no problems with dedis so i guess ill help answers the questions

- does it work on your server and script with maps made by others ? -> Yes

- does it work on your server with your map for another player ? -> No

- does it work with your maps on some other server ? (for you ? and for others ?) -> No -> No

basically maps made by him do not save dedis for all players on all servers.

Removed the whole if statement.

I get a return back:

It was because of the authorzone="World|Europe|United Kingdom|England|Yorkshire & the Humb" which has the '&' badly encoded (it should be '&' in a xml field, like it is done for the map name) and make my xml decoder fail.

I have fixed it on dedimania side by filtering/replacing it in the xml string before decoding. It should be ok now ... for client scripts that does not have the problem on their side (fast4.0.0t need a fix for example)

Very strange that no one had reported that problem before.

tm2:willie-maykit · 2014-10-30 09:30:09

WoW can not believe that it was something so stupid like my location I set in-game that was the issue.

TESTED AND WORKING GREAT.

BIG THX to w1lla for getting the info and Slig for correcting it, and everyone who posted here to help resolve this.

Now I can carry on creating bad maps and getting dedimania records on them
