AMS2 Dedicated Server Tool / SteamCMD Support

Thanks @Dave Stephenson it seems this menu pops when clicking “Create New” button in MP; but I have a previously created (within a real server) lobby. So is there a way to configure these setups for that already created lobby ?

 

Folks, I made the changes in post 207 that were suggested to use simresults with AMS2, and I am still getting very weak results with AMS2 results uploaded. Here is what I got, showing only 1 lap, a PC Cars logo, etc -- how can I change this? (and yes I made them correctly paying attention to paths, etc. per post 207).

it works on my server.
I added the 2 edited files including folder structure to simply copy it to your DS

 

Thank you Wolfgang, will try these files.

 

Hoping someone can help me out... I cannot get the latest vehicle list. I have updated the DS several times, including using the "Update Release" script from the "AMS2DedicatedQuickStart" zip file. The resulting list still matches that from the one I pulled in mid-October. Any suggestions? Thanks.

 

sorry, pal. There must be another setting too, additional to the 2 files i sent.
Last night i also sent it to a friend and he also had the bug with just everything is 1 lap and "pCARS" instead of "AMS2".
Investigating

 

it would be a nice feature to add correct versioning to the DS exe.
Since 1st release ist always

- server build version: 1
- protocol version: 64 (1.0.0.64)

 

Thank you. I don't know what I had wrong, but your script has done the job.

 

i revert all my hints and helps for DS & Simresults.
I found that my sms_stats.lua now is different in some functions compared to the updated one from early days by help of pCARS forum.
So i decided to completely delete my ds folders and redownload from steam.
Then just set
"track_events" : true, in sms_stats_config.json
and that was it. Worked !

I'm curious about something.. being fairly new to AMS2's dedi setup and how it interacts with steam.

Whilst our AMS2 dedi is working ok, the pings are roughly double that of pings on other servers we host, in the same location / same hardware, with the same players connecting i.e R3E, ACC

The AMS2 dedi is not running through steam as such, the files are in a custom location and manually updated when a new exe drops.

I'm just wondering if there is something that I am missing. I would assume since the only config option there is for steam as such is the Secure and SteamPorts, that it would automatically choose a relevant region etc. Is it just because its using steam servers where the others are maybe direct?

 

Tonight in our league race, I had a driver speed on pit road twice during qualifying, accidentally. The first time they got a grid penalty then the second time they got a DQ for the remainder of the qual session. Both of which are fine -- however I could not find/locate any sort of command for me to remove their penalty even had I wanted to -- ideas, feature suggestion? This type of thing is critical for leagues.

 

After re downloading server files the simresults are now working great, not using any of the before mentioned PC cars forums modificiations in the LUA files

sample output from race tonight

So tonight, I noticed that the in-game ping and server ping are reported different.
i.e
Player 1 - In-game: 131 ping - Dedi shows: 60
Player 2 - In-game: 304 ping - Dedi shows: 241
Me: Dedi shows: 58 ping

Seems a bit strange.

 

Sounds like the game is showing your ping to the DS plus the other drivers’ pings to the DS, which is correct since it is a rebroadcaster and has all traffic go through it.

 

To be honest, we've been seeing some strange behaviour online which may or may not be related. On two occasions there have been incidents in the race which were reviewed afterwards via replays. On both occasions the replays from each driver showed things happening very differently. In one a driver would clearly drive straight into another causing the incident, yet on the replay of the driver "responsible" the car he hit was nowhere near him. All drivers had good pings.

It seems there is a pretty serious sync issue between drivers happening at the moment, which would explain why so many of our AMS 2 races seem to scrappy and full of bumps.

 

I tried your settings it didn't work for me, I give up again. Back to peer to peer lobbies for me unless a miracle happens.

 

Been trying to reproduce this issue for a week now and found how to semi-regularly trigger it.
So, since I brought the lap records live to Touristenfahrten (24h of Nurbrugring), I have noticed a timing bug that was also inherited from pC2.

Basically, if you are on a timed lap, return to the pit garage while in sectors 2 or 3 and go back out, more often than not, you will trigger a lap count on an invalidated lap when crossing the Start/Finish line on your way out of the pits and the timing addon I am using will register impossible times. (This is during a practice session on a DS)

I believe that "CountThisLapTimes" of the "Lap" event is not false on the outlap, and the "LapTime" attribute is not reset if returned to pits in s2 or s3.

This was not an issue in pC2 as the start/finish line was before the boxes, so you would end with ridiculously long laps of 14+ mins, but in AMS2, where the Start/Finish line is near the end of the pitlane, this is causing quite a few impossible lap times that I need to regularly clean up, which in itself is a chore.

If devs could have a look at these faulty event triggers that would be peachy because aside from moving the line before the start I am not sure what to propose.
