New features and other changes in the v0.95 release of XASECO2:
- all references (command names, classes, variables, comments, etc) to TrackMania eXchange / TMX / tmx are replaced by Mania Exchange / MX / mx
- new MX information support (based on the new MXInfoFetcher class) with the /mxinfo command, analogue to TMX info support in XASECO, so see the relevant release notes for details
- new MX search support (based on the new MXInfoSearcher class) with the /xlist command, analogue to TMX search support in XASECO, so see the pertaining release notes for details
- the /add (if enabled) and /admin add commands now work to add maps from MX, analogue to adding maps from TMX in XASECO
- notes on MX support:
- the TMX section parameter in the above chat commands is no longer relevant, and has been removed
- the /xlist command now returns at most 100 maps, rather than 500 from TMX in XASECO
- MX does not yet offer support for replays and solo records, so the /mxrecs command and the MX World Record at the start of a new track are still disabled
Bug fixes in the v0.95 release of XASECO2:
- UTF-8 characters in (master)admin/operator titles in adminops.xml are not processed correctly – fixed (thanks TheBigG)
- the Auto TimeLimit plugin doesn't work in TimeAttack mode – fixed (thanks Pesky)
New features and other changes in the v0.93 release of XASECO2:
- the donate plugin has now been ported and tested:
- the /donate and /admin pay commands are available
- the panels/ directory contains a new set of TM²C-compatible donate panel templates (see /donpanel list)
- the /admin pay confirmation dialog resembles the /donate dialog
- remember that the server's planets amount (seen with /admin planets) doesn't update immediately after a transaction
- important: as in TMUF, the validation key belonging to your player login needs to be entered in the <validation_key> field in dedicated_cfg.txt, and you must make an initial donation from your player login to your server login via the in-game message system, so that there are sufficient planets in the account to pay Nadeo tax on the first transaction
- new window style Card, which resembles the game's scoreboard style fairly closely, and is therefore now the configured default
- new panel background support with the following features:
- the background for the admin, donate, records and vote panels, as well as the player stats panel at the scoreboard, is now customizable
- a new 'PanelBG' column has been added to the local database table 'players_extra' for storing each player's selected background
- the new column will be added automatically the first time this release is run, but it is also defined in the DOCS/xaseco2.sql file as usual
- the distribution's panels/ subdirectory can contain up to 30 panel background templates; their filenames must start with 'PanelBG'
- there are nine standard templates in several colors, with some in transparent and blurred variants
- the default panel background is configurable via new config.xml setting
<panel_bg>
(default: NavBlueBlur)
- new /admin panelbg <xxx> command to select another default panel background for newly connecting players (requires panel background name)
- the new /panelbg command allows players to select an individual panel background with the following options:
- help: Displays help information
- list: Displays available backgrounds
- default: Resets background to server default
- <xxx>: Selects panel background <xxx>, which can be a style name or the sequence number from /panelbg list
- in the /panelbg list overview a player can also click a background name to dynamically select a new background (or refresh the current one if its .xml file was updated)
- a player's selected panel background is listed in his/her /settings output
- the configured default panel background is Card, to match with the new default window style
- the current default background is used for the CPS (checkpoints) panel and the system message window as those cannot be individually customized
- the button to open the system message log is now a Txt icon in a new position to fit with the released game's chat window
- updated the GBXDataFetcher module to handle TM²C release Maps
- a fatal error is now reported if no masteradmin is configured in config.xml
- added an updatepanels.php script to the DOCS/ directory to allow updating all players' panels of a given type to a new template
Bug fixes in the v0.93 release of XASECO2:
- the /settings output is missing the window style entry – fixed
- /server doesn't take the adminops.xml setting <server_planets> into account – fixed
