Dedimania forum

Hi, I recently started using eXpansion on my server. I've noticed that my server isnt saving dedimania records on some maps (normal tracks that usually have dedi recs, no lolmaps). I can have 30 local records and 0 of them showing up in the dedimania Records. I dont think its a Map problem since some Records are stored, my guess is that when i get the error below, all driven Records that Round are skipped. I checked the log and I get this message pretty often

Xpansion][Adm/AdminPanel][DediMania/Connection][Dedimania service return error] Method:dedimania.SetChallengeTimes [eXpansion][Adm/AdminPanel][DediMania/Connection]Error string:Warning in method_helper.php(1383): VReplay has not the same time as best time (22485,22418) !
[eXpansion][Adm/AdminPanel][DediMania/Connection][Dedimania] Sending times new times: Success

I might add that I'm playing in cup mode with warmup.

What does this mean and what can I do to fix it?

Best regards,

coshank

The use of the validation replay is mostly to check incoherence with times received by the script. 

In most cases, and it is the legitimate case, the problem you noticed happen because the script was started in middle of the map, and the vreplay is related to a time driven before the script was started. If you want to avoid that then when you start the script you should do a restart or next.

If it happens in other case, then it should be a bug, ask the script authors... or very strange cheats, but it seems very unlikely.

Today my steam account and TM2 account got hacked by a 'friend' of mine, so he knew all my passwords by guessing. He played from around 5.30 until 6.45 on my account. He was on a serer called 'quantum train' whereas he drove several dedimania records (+ 1 WR). The WR is a hacked time he said, it is on Original Hunt 002 from pro2type_ . I just wanted to let you guys know this and that all the records droven in this time aren't be my and might not be legit, thanks!

It's because of the titlepack! I don't want to cry about it, I just wanted to tell you it wasn't me during yesterday! i understand what you mean and I changed my password + activated steam guard!
Sorry for the issues + Well guessing, he knew my password, it's a friend of mine...

3 records by same person on top30, but don't know if you still care about the triples.

There are no three identical/similar nicks on that track. Or two, for that matter.

If they don't show up as one group in the nick-sorted link, I don't really care.

Quadruple records by one person.
Logins: floop2, floop3, floop4 and floop5.

floop4 uses the name Mario so it looks a bit unobvious, but I tried floop5 and Luigi appeared so I'll check of there's more spammed records by him.

All logins share the same zone: World➧Germany➧North Rhine-Westphalia➧Bonn

Edit found also:
N53t_58hxexnBASu4GhMLdQxp23 floop2,3,4,5
qLTnRmHDVgzWZatAvAoOqhhmGfj floop2,3,4
GtQzV8lNmp49_wBNQTbO9f5bkzk floop2,4,5
R9FBnCs9S29OAqeAJwrsnUPT3jd floop2,3,5

These are the only 5 maps with triple and quadruple entries by that person.

I have a script to check for such tracks common between logins, ya know.
Housekeeping performed, left only the highest ranked entry at each track. Thanks.

And we've got another case where you can use your script. :p

All the logins share the name: upcAlois[*]1955  [*]=Random symbol.
All are united, have 90k LP and drive mostly Coast, I don't know if that's any useful info but it does give the impression it's the same person.

Oh okay, haven't noticed those 2.

I randomly noticed that once ingame on the ladder. I understand you don't have the script as I guess that's not something that happens everyday.

Thanks for the clean-up!

Triple records.
Logins: hanni0, hanni5 & hanni6

Which are the same player because...?

Well, hanni0's two entries I got rid of regardless.

I don't get this error but I do get the same thing... where most of the time it wont submit a record... Ill try to comment it out and see if it fixes me too.

Tried to validate both your replay and GR, both failed it. I'll erase this just in case internet issue actually influenced your time. Perhaps there was a bug in the game and the ''Invalid Time'' message didn't appear resulting in this.

I suppose things like this can happen, guess you're just unlucky that it happened to you when you set a good time.
