It doesn't parse the Positions correctly. And there is a Problem with Telnet, the script doesn't make a clean exit.

Cheers

@tschaerni it's now working for randomgen. the telnet problem is due to the buggy 7dtd telnet server. it works with with alloc's native server tools.

the positions are now written to a tracks.csv file to be rendered with the map viewer https://github.com/nicolas-f/7DTD-leaflet

Is there any help? it looks like the script needs two args, the 7dtd server manager instance, but I am not sure what the $tracksFile is for...
