[Server] Reload JS File

[MxSimulatorMods]

Hi JLV,

It will be great if we can reload js files on the server without restart it. With this feature, we have not to setup again all tracks on it after each little update on js.

How do you mean, like if you add a track?

[MxSimulatorMods]

Yes, may be. Or just a command which reloads all js scripts like 'server, reloadjs'

[Wahlamt]

You could double it. Like *inserting stuff in js file via GUI button click* also runs something like:

Code: Select all

x<XCMD PASSWORD>server,addtrack <time> <laps> <change interval> <trackinfo>
or
x<XCMD PASSWORD>server,removetrack <track number>

It perhaps isn't the full solution you want, but for specifically adding tracks, this could work.

You could try 'eval(mxserver.file_to_string("myscript.js"))'. You'd have to make sure you reset any handlers you hooked at the start of your script to avoid turning the handler chain into a loop. I'd feel safer just restarting the server.

It'd also be possible to save your track list and reload it when the server starts.

It's not just for tracks. It's also to allow me to make a little update without have to ask at all players to come back after few minutes.
If I could restart js without restart server, it will be easier for me to fix issues very fast on MxsRank.

Probably best to just do the eval thing in that case and be careful with the hooks. The default handlers are all just empty functions so it's safe to not call them.
