Dedimania forum

After some investigation on the maps on which the issue happens, I believe this happens for maps that are identical except their names (essentially, a map that has been saved under a different name in the editor, with no further changes).  Can you take a look at what has happened for the following maps?

Original map
=> YxQDoC0568WZb8UfFu_61YIgVD4
3 records so far, but now our controller (ManiaControl) doesn't find any dedi record and doesn't store new records either (EDIT : it actually does, I just didn't wait long enough XD)

Map renamed
=> yfvy12VeQGM87WrmGwG7tPKDY8c
Records were sent to dedi but were not stored as far as I can tell

Yes, for some reason they didn't show records the first time they were played but now they do... Very weird. The issue remain in a fair number of maps though, so the question remains open:

So, the main question is, what can cause an Error 400 to occur?

Tha ManiaControl forum would be a better place for that.

While I am convinced that the culprit at the end of the day is ManiaControl, the error happens on Dedimania side. I had saved the XML code of such a wrong request, and the XML request of a good request, and nothing really stood out in the wrong XML code as far as I could see (unfortunately I deleted these files, but I can probably make new ones). All blocks seemed to have the proper information. I have no problem trying to fix the ManiaControl code (at least I can try), but if I don't know what causes that issue to occur I can't really do anything.

I have already ruled out the following possibilities:
- Incorrect map Uid
- CP time sent in the wrong order
- CP time duplicated
- use of embedded items

There is only that much information that we get can get from the error log that we get back (even though I have to say that maybe ManiaControl doesn't get the full picture, I will double check).

EDIT: I have regenerated a wrong request XML file if you want to have a look.

Sorry but I have no time nor interest in supporting TM(2) controllers or the API side of Dedimania anymore. Too many other projects on my plate.
