AMS2 Dedicated Server Tool / SteamCMD Support

I think the F-USA 23 vehicle id is wrong in the dedi api or in the race results:
http://localhost:9000/api/list/vehicles:

Code:

 {
        "id": -360792512,
        "name": "Formula USA 2023",
        "class": "F-USA_2023"
},

race results from the F-USA 23 race:

Code:

"results": [
              {
                "attributes": {
                  "FastestLapTime": 38289,
                  "Lap": 52,
                  "RacePosition": 1,
                  "State": "Finished",
                  "TotalTime": 2116883,
                  "VehicleId": 58938606
                },
                "is_player": true,
                "name": "Some guy",
                "participantid": 11,
                "refid": 29377,
                "time": 1689015438
              }

dedi id: "id": -360792512,
results id: "VehicleId": 58938606

Is it a bug or am I reading this wrong?

 

Ok, so it's stays at it is for now?

 

Are there any other vehicles with different ids in results and dedi api?

 

Another race, this time non-oval and the results are showing

Code:

"results" : [
              {
                "attributes" : {
                  "FastestLapTime" : 70586,
                  "Lap" : 37,
                  "RacePosition" : 1,
                  "State" : "Finished",
                  "TotalTime" : 2761716,
                  "VehicleId" : -360792512
                }

"VehicleId" : -360792512

How can I know when dedi will use "VehicleId": 58938606 and when "VehicleId" : -360792512 ?

It would be best if you could expose just one id and map bewteen the two ids behind the scenes, otherwise I and every interested person would need to do such mapping by ourselves.

Can you give me info how many ids F-USA 23 and other cars can have? So I can prepare my system for variable ids.

 

Excellent documentation, now how can I automatically start a headless local client that connect to the server after starting the server that will support a grid with 32 cars?

I quite challenging to automate a League operation guaranteeing good performance when a client is added to the equation.

 

I agree it's a pain. Our solution is not to advertise the opening of the server or give password until the best possible host is in the lobby, along with broadcaster/spectator etc.

 

Headless local client would be super cool, but if it's possible to create headless client then it would be even better to incorporate it into the dedi itself. I am not sure how it would manage AI, but online AI is not very important feature so it could be disabled for dedi.

I wonder what is the code quality in PC2/ME, if it's well written, with tests and stuff, then it shouldnt be a big problem to extract hosting code to dedi.

Such change would put AMS2 multiplayer on the next level.

 

So is it possible to get those ids?

 

I'm not able to see most of the RX tracks since 1.5 release on a dedicated server. Just Ascurra and Tykki, and even then not all combinations (no joker variants). Did I mess something up with the update? Self-hosting I see all tracks just fine.

 

They are showing up for me, but make sure to not set the max amount of drivers higher then 6 for the RX tracks, and higher then 16 for the dirt tracks, if you set your server higher then you wont see those tracks ingame.

When setting up the server using the httpapi i think when you select a certain rx track, it automatically changes the driver amount

 

jep. An old problem
If allowed participant amount on DS is higher than max participants of a track, then the track is invisible

 

ah fer fooks sake, I was aware of that and I changed "maxPlayerCount" but neglected to also update "GridSize" and "MaxPlayers"
Works now, thanks again

 

Small issue: The Ginetta G58 from Class P1Gen2 is missing in the HTTP API (Beta and Release).

 

Alternative for now is to configure the server through the server.cfg/sms_rotate. If you join Touristenfahrten AMS and pick the car, I’ll be able to see its ID and share it. Just reply if you’ve done it. I forgot to check for it myself yesterday so I could add it to the server’s whitelist.

 

I did it .. FYI, it kicks you as soon as you hit drive.

 

Thank you for that. Yes the kicking out is normal as the ID wasn’t in the list of allowed cars, meaning a kick 20s after loading on track. The ID was missing from the api/list/vehicles data. I’ve added it now though.

The ID is 1989434463

 

Are you sure, i just checked and i have all the RX cars, formula dirt and kartcross, but i also dont see the Ginetta from the P1gen2 class, i see all the other cars from that class as well

 

If I open the URL server:9000/api/list/vehicles I found 4 vehicles in class P1Gen2, but the Ginetta G58 is not there.
I validated the files for Beta and Release version via Steam, but the issue is still there.
