AMS2 Dedicated Server Tool / SteamCMD Support

I'm having a problem here that I can't seem to figure out - I want to do a custom rotation, but it looks like it's never actually recognized:

It looks like the config entry 'config' in my sms_rotate isn't recognized, but I'm not sure why?

 

@Julien Lemoine

You can work on an addon. Have it establish a json list in the lua_config folder.

The addon could be set to record a valid lap and save it under a track index, a vehicle subindex and a driver subsubindex containing the id, laptime date, laptime and finally the rank.

Have a function to compare the new time with a laptime submitted by the driver previously (if there is one) to see if it is faster and have it then compare with the other entries to determine the rank and reorganise the ranks.

Give free choice of the track but then look if you prefer to find one suitable date and weather/track condition for all the tracks or give free choice through the lobby settings.

Finally, to consult the timetable externally, have a script copy the file every day/hour/minute to a website that parses the json file with a few handy filters to filter by track/car/class/driver.

 

@Pepperoni Could you share said file in a .txt extension or zip it up?

 

Edit: Huh. Strange. I am not a pro with this file but things seem in order. can’t test the file myself though so I hope others can try it and help.

 

I've tried adding a } in either spot but it doesn't seem to be working. Do you have one I could copy and paste?

 

Sure. Paste it in the “lua_config” folder

 

Thanks! I'm able to load sms_rotate now but it's giving me invalid track ids

Is there something I need to switch here?

 

Needs to be either the trackid number without quotations or the name in quotations but not as it shows ingame but rather as it shows in localhost:9000/api/list/tracks

 

Got it up and running! Thank you thank you thank you! I've been fighting with this for days!

 

Hi,

I have my dedicated server up and running, join-able... etc

The one problem I'm having is:

If I Select opponents to drive anything but identical vehicles...

When I join the server it randomly chooses a vehicle that isn't the one I selected for the race. This also happens to anyone joining...

I can change my vehicle but even though I have the server set to allow people who join can change their vehicle also, the server won't let them.

Anyone see an issue in my server.cfg file?

THANKS

In the webconfig where you setup the race, go to opponents tab and make sure to set it to same class, or multiclass, not on any, because then you can choose everything

 

Thanks I will give that a try...

 

Ok i hope it works

 

UPDATE Thanks for the assistance! Unchecking the box in the GUI interface corrected my issue. I know this is controlled via the server.cfg also. Now when I join and other the correct car is displayed and they can change their skin also. Again thanks for the help!!

 

You are very welcome!

 

Hello class, I need help with the Dedicated server! I configured the server, enabled and disabled the lua, I did the procedure for the dedicated server by Steam and when I run the Dedicated Server the console informs that everything is ok! it doesn't show any error, I can access it via the web, but I can't find the server in the list at all! Is there any other way to connect to the dedicated server running on the same machine I'm playing with other than the server list? And why my server doesn't appear in the list? NOTE: I have the ports open on the Modem and Firewall because I run several other servers without problems, including AMS1 dedicated server... But this AMS2 dedicated server is giving me a headache, see... Thanks! Every help is welcome! I will post here the Console command lines and below my server.cfg.

I appreciate any and all help!

And my server.cfg
Upload file

 

My experience is you always have to go to the webconfig, session attributes, next session, set the session up and then save the session config, then it shows up, at least thats what i have to do, i dont use the lua files though

 

Ok, Tks for help, i'm try here!

 

Ok other then that i dont see anything strange in your server.cfg file, had a quick look at it, so let us know if this worked
