AMS2 Dedicated Server Tool / SteamCMD Support

This is all we have.
when testing the 'advance session' with just me on the server it worked (my tests) then when the other players were on it did nothing, and like you said it must have redirected me because it sends me to a blank page ...

 

Ah ok, so that is what I am seeing on the old status page. I also had trouble using that button even when I was the only person in the session as it was somewhat inconsistent. We are planning on running a test after the racing tonight to see if the alternative approach works even with multiple people in the session.

I have managed to go back through the majority of the posts in this thread and interestingly (well, at least to me), betorobson already took this approach a while back and posted their code here pc2-ams2-ds-betorobson/ams2ds-pc2ds-betorobson/web_files_betorobson at main · betorobson/pc2-ams2-ds-betorobson. I didn't spot any posts about it not working, so fingers crossed....

 

Hi @Kro - we did several tests this evening with just 3 of us in the session and the advance worked without an issue for all of us, both advancing correctly from practice to qualy and then to race as well as allowing anyone who didn't click 'ready' in the race to return back to the grid. I'm going to see if I can run another test during an actual event on Thursday with a larger number of drivers in the session.

 

Hi, I'm thinking of downloading the Dedicated server through steam just to have a look at its functionality. I only have the one machine, I know theres no benifit to runing dedi and client on same machine, but i expect I can run both without any problems? I do with RF2, worksd fine!

I want to just open it up and run it to see if there are more options availible to me me as the host than the ingame sever has, like having the option to kick a client without a vote, advance to next session when ever I want, restart a race and so on. Is it worth having a look do folks think, or is it only the same functions as ingame, just a dedi?? Cheers!

 

yes,yes and yes

 

Cheers mate, that sounds very encouraging!!!

 

Yes, defintely worth it, it also allows you to switch from a single class to multiclass race without needing to restart the server, one thing you still need to keep in mind is how many people you want to allow in your server, as for example 30 people limits the choice in tracks, as not every track has that amount of pitboxes.

 

Short question. What hardware requirements for
AMS2 Windows Server for max 24 drivers ?

Is this AWS instance type sufficient?

Amazon EC2 Instance-Typen – Amazon Web Services (AWS)

t3.medium 2 24 / 4 only EBS / up to 5 Gbits

 

The ams2 dedi server doesnt need much, as its basically still using the peer 2 peer system, so that would be sufficient i would say

 

Hi all... I'm trying to work out what the following flag does:

Code:

{
   "value" : 268435456,
   "name" : "PIT_STOP_ERRORS_ALLOWED"
},

I have tried a few tests and not noticed anything when pitting..... I'm also struggling to find anything when searching....

 

Please help: Which settings are good for a stable and warp free server? Does lowering these values help for the latency?
Which settings would be the best, even if CPU-usage heavy?

// Delay between server ticks in milliseconds, when not hosting and when hosting a game, respectively.
// Lower values will make the server more responsible and decrease latency by a bit at the expense of higher CPU usage.
sleepWaiting : 50
sleepActive : 10

 

Which file/s do I need to edit to add a welcome message when players enter the lobby?

 

No one a Idea?

 

i dont think changing those settings has a huge effect on decreasing the warping, biggest issue is that ams2 uses a peer to peer system, even when you use a dedi server, which means its as good as its weakest link. if there is one person in there with a high ping, they can/will affect everyone.

 

I have a hard time searching this forum, so sorry if this has been covered. I am having a problem getting a multiple class dedicated server working properly. I am not using any of the lua scripts. I am not fluent with dedicated servers, especially with AMS and rFactor. I have no issues operating AC or ACC DS. Thank you for the help. - SM

I personally would use the httpapi page to set this up, or run your server through a platform like JustRace.net, makes life a lot easier to set things up.

I would need to take a better look to answer your questions, not near a pc right now

 

Here is where I think the problem lies:
// VEHICLE CLASS. See /api/list/vehicle_classes/ in HTTP API. "I did add each class here, but this could be wrong"
"VehicleClassId" : 1342781418,
"VehicleClassId" : 1559064669, X delete these 3 ID entries
"VehicleClassId" : 1754258698, X
"VehicleClassId" : 520250275, X

// Multiple Class. "I also added them here, probably wrong."
"MultiClassSlots" : 4, change to 3
"MultiClassSlot1" : 520250275,
"MultiClassSlot2" : 1754258698,
"MultiClassSlot3" : 1559064669,
"MultiClassSlot4" : 1342781418,


Only enter one class id in the Vehicle Class entry.
If you want to run another 3 classes, then add just the ones you want and nominate 3 Multiclass Slots.

 

I have tried the HTTP before and it never worked properly. The game put F1 on a kart track! Thank you.

Thank you for responding. With these adjustments to the server file, as you outlined above, the only class available was from the VehicleClassId. The other MultiClassSlot (3) were not selectable prior to joining the server. I will comment out the VehicleClassId and see if the MultiClassSlot process works.

Update: Commenting out the VehicleCLassId seemed to be the proper thing to do. All is working with the selected classes. Thanks for the help!
