howmanycontenders's Introduction

HowManyContenders

A Trackmania Next plugin, allowing to see the total number of players who played a map.So you can more precisely see where you are in terms of performance.

Changelog

1.2

Opened plugin to starter access users. Added an icon to the plugin to make it more aesthetic.

1.1

Fixed a bug that made the plugin unusable for users belonging to zones that has less than 5 divisions.

1.0

Initial version, allowing to see the total count of players that have a time on the map currently played, separated by the zone you belong to.

NB : there is an issue in Nadeo API that makes us unable to get the real total count when we arrive on a map that has already been played by the user (We consider that the map has been played from the point where the user has a time on it).

Credits

Many thanks to @Banalian (Lilian Pouvreau) for developping his plugin ExtraLeaderboardPositions and letting people look at the source code. It has been very helpful for me and I would never be able to develop HowManyContenders without it.

howmanycontenders's Issues

Plugin not available for Starter Access

My settings in openplanet are set, so it should always be showing, but it never shows up anywhere on my screen. There is no error message or anything, just doesn't appear. Would appreciate potential solutions, thank you!

Use another API call to get number of contenders

Have to consider using request down below to get the counts of contenders.

POST https://live-services.trackmania.nadeo.live/api/token/leaderboard/group/map?scores[{mapUid}]={score} API call.

See documentation HERE.

It seems to return zones :

[
    {
        "groupUid": "Personal_Best",
        "mapUid": "gjt2DWATrQ_NdrbrXG0G9oDpTfh",
        "score": 15800,
        "zones": [
            {
                "zoneId": "301e1b69-7e13-11e8-8060-e284abfd2bc4",
                "zoneName": "World",
                "ranking": {
                    "position": 294,
                    "length": 0
                }
            }
        ]
    },
    {
        "groupUid": "Personal_Best",
        "mapUid": "XiGZvMOqIgT3_g0TdeFa0lxMp46",
        "score": 17500,
        "zones": [
            {
                "zoneId": "301e1b69-7e13-11e8-8060-e284abfd2bc4",
                "zoneName": "World",
                "ranking": {
                    "position": 42,
                    "length": 0
                }
            }
        ]
    }
]

Error on launch

This error appears for an user whenever he or her install the plugin

Plugin not reloading when entering in a new map

Plugin shows Player position if he already has a PB on the current map

If the player comes on a map he already played, he will see his position in the list.

@Banalian told me that he actually has an account that never played Trackmania on his server and he gets the count of player in a map by asking to Trackmania API from this account, maybe it'll fix this.

Too many refreshes

We don't need as much refreshes. By now we have like 2 refreshes every 3 sec. We only need one for 20s or one by restart. or even one by new map played.

Weird error using built-in array methods

In my split string method, the built-in array methods calls generate errors :

ERR: No matching symbol 'insertLast'
ERR: No matching symbol 'findFirst'

Here is my function :

array<string> splitString(const string& in str, const string& in delimiter) {
    array<string> result;
    
    int startPos = 0;
    int endPos = str.findFirst(delimiter);
    
    while (endPos != -1)
    {
        result.insertLast(str.substr(startPos, endPos - startPos));
        startPos = endPos + delimiter.Length;
        endPos = str.find(delimiter, startPos);
    }
    
    result.insertLast(str.substr(startPos));
    
    return result;
}

Here the array is correctly initialized and the used methods are referenced here in AngelScript documentation...

CGameScoreAndLeaderBoardManagerScript::MapLeaderBoard_GetPlayerCount returns 0

To get the number of contenders, I use the CGameScoreAndLeaderBoardManagerScript::MapLeaderBoard_GetPlayerCount.
As said in the OpenPlanet documentation, give as arguments the mapuid, a empty context and the zone of the player.

void updateContendersCount() {
        auto app = cast<CTrackMania>(GetApp());
        auto network = cast<CTrackManiaNetwork>(app.Network);

        if (network.ClientManiaAppPlayground !is null && network.ClientManiaAppPlayground.Playground !is null && network.ClientManiaAppPlayground.Playground.Map !is null) {
            if (!mapidIsValid(mapid)) {
                mapid = network.ClientManiaAppPlayground.Playground.Map.MapInfo.MapUid;
            }

            CGameScoreAndLeaderBoardManagerScript@ manager = network.ClientManiaAppPlayground.ScoreMgr;
            
            for (int i = 0; i<zoneContenders.Length;i++) {
                zoneContenders[i] = manager.MapLeaderBoard_GetPlayerCount(mapid, "", wstring(zoneNames[i]));
            }
}

Note that the array zoneNames is gotten by :

void updateUserZones() {
       string zonePath = cast<CTrackManiaNetwork>(cast<CTrackMania>(GetApp()).Network).PlayerInfo.ZonePath;
       zoneNames = zonePath.Split('|');
   }

Executing this code, the array zoneContenders is filled by 0.

API Call returns my position by zone instead of the position i would get with the worst time possible

See doc here

void updateContendersCount() {
        auto app = cast<CTrackMania>(GetApp());
        auto network = cast<CTrackManiaNetwork>(app.Network);
    
        if (network.ClientManiaAppPlayground !is null && network.ClientManiaAppPlayground.Playground !is null && network.ClientManiaAppPlayground.Playground.Map !is null) {
            if (!mapidIsValid(mapid)) {
                mapid = network.ClientManiaAppPlayground.Playground.Map.MapInfo.MapUid;
            }

            string requestBody = '{"maps": [{"mapUid": "'+mapid+'","groupUid": "Personal_Best"}]}';

            Json::Value data = PostRequest(NadeoServices::BaseURL() + "/api/token/leaderboard/group/map?scores["+mapid+"]="+maxint, requestBody);
            if (data.GetType() != Json::Type::Null) {
                Json::Value zones = data[0]["zones"];
                 
                if (zones.GetType() == Json::Type::Array){    
                    // Never goes there.
                    print(zones.Length);
                    for (uint i=0; i<zones.Length; i++) {
                        zoneContenders[i] = zones[i]["ranking"]["position"];
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
