AMS2 Dedicated Server Tool / SteamCMD Support

I do have the weather slots defined in both sections. I copy and pasted it and I still get the same error. Am I dense?

Default:


Rotation
[

Error

 

I think there is a a “s“ to much. Not “PracticeWeatherSlots1“ : “Clear“ but ”PracticeWeatherSlot“ : “Clear“ The Race Weather is correct but in Practice and Qualify you wrote a “s” to much.

 

DOH. Thank you!!!

 

i have tried to setup a dedi server, but altough it runs i cant find it. i have tried it in the past and then i somehow got in it but my brother not, i find it really annoying working with all the commands and stuff just to get a server up and running, hopefully people can help me getting things working right so that i can find it and my brother too.

 

thanks for the reply,
okay i understand you dont recommend using dedi if i just race with my brother, but i dont like the ingame system. if i want to make changes to the session length or something i have to leave the server, make the changes, also again type in the lobby name and password and then launch the server again, thats the reason i wanted to use the dedi server, but what i find in the server file and what you say i find that just a pain in the ass, not that you can do anything about it, but i personally think it shouldnt be so much hassle. also if i can stay away from portforwarding i stay away from that.

i have attached the files you asked for, i hope to get to the point i can use the dedi server in a way i can join when empty through the server list, if i have that done i will think about the ports, but do i NEED to open the ports or is it possible my router already does it? i have little to no experience with portforwarding. me and my brother race with ai btw. does my brother also need to open ports btw?

Me and my brother like to do several races on a evening and i would like to be more different with the session lenght, race times etc. and i wanted to use the dedi server so that we can stay in the lobby and i can still make changes, that way it is faster and less hassle because of not having to make an new lobby everytime you want to change a session length etc. there are just a few games doing that right in my mind, mainly f1 and forza from my experience. i atleast hope you can help maybe getting me set up to do it with dedi server, or i just need to use the ingame servers.

 

Anybody know what changed in the new server update? And or if there are other settings?

 

if there is no special announcement, normally only the new tracks and cars where added.

 

Hey @Wolfgang Herold, is there a better way to host multiple AMS2 servers other than copying the dedi files to a new folder? I have several setup like this but wasn't sure if I can run it all out of the same install?

 

Create a seperate config for each, within the Dedi folder
Server1.cfg, Server2.cfg etc
Change names, Query/Host port and httpApiPort within each config.

Launch via bat file (all at once if you like) i.e

Launch.bat:
start "" "DedicatedServerCmd.exe" -c Server1.cfg
start "" "DedicatedServerCmd.exe" -c Server2.cfg

Enjoy.

 

Perfect! I have everything setup separately already. I think the only thing I need to do now is copy & rename the sms_rotate_config files to the main install accordingly (sms_rotate1, sms_rotate2, etc) then launch the servers as you detailed. THANK YOU!

 

serverx.cfg as start parameter works. If it works too with lua i don't know. Haven't tried that.

 

yep. But what i can read, lua in server.cfg just points to folders, not files. So its maybe counterproductive, as you have to multiple the lua folders several times inside that one ds-folder.
e.g. i think if SMS stats writes to same file for all DS's, it could be a mess for simresults.net scoring.

 

Thanks much guys, worked like a charm! Now all of my servers run from the same install - as they should have from the start. haha

 

I believe the method of creating the lua_configX folder for each server cures this issue, right Wolf?


Is there a better way to separate that file out though? Like if we are running as a league server and wanting to capture the "race weekend" Practice, Qualy, Race results. I have only thought to reduce the history length and hide the results unneeded on simresults. Kind of a pain but it does work.

 

i once had it on an external server and copied it with timestamp extension to an online folder for public acces. Deleted the stats after every copy and so i had 24h files. But also big

For trackdays a system similar to stracker for AC would be great.
Or a flag to not delete lobby lap times even when users left the server.

 

Thanks for the reply, i am happy the server.cfg was okay. So if i want to use dedi servers i just need to go portforwarding then, i hope the options will eventually come to the game but because nobody knows when i think i will try to get the pot forwardimg working so i can set up my dedi server. do i need to make tweaks to be able to let the server run empty so i can easily join it? And if so what needs tweaking?

 

Okay thanks, i will try it soon
