AMS2 Dedicated Server Tool / SteamCMD Support

i'm not sure, but it could be that Rudolf meant an allways running server, like an AC trackday server.
Though its empty, the time is running. A AMS2 server is just starting a session when 1st joins and ends when time is over or the last participant leaves.
Also you never can compare the lap times other participants did while the whole session. Lap times are deleted as soon as the participant leaves. On a trackday server the lap times should only be deleted when the session is over.
I know , for that we would need a real server, not a service relais like the pCARS/AMS2 server.
But i have confidence

 

I totally agree. I wish the DS wasn't just a simple rebroadcaster for the host. Right now the only way to keep a server up and keep times on a trackday server is to have a driver constantly connected to it and add a lua addon to the server to add times to a database and link it on a
website. (Example: Touristenfahrten#2 in pCars2 - Touristenfahrten #2 )

But one thing at a time.

 

I really don't think this statement is correct. I also tried setting it to 120 via sms_rotate_config as Goffik proposed but I seem to get the same results aka 2:04's @ Nurburgring Veedol 2020 with the GT3s by the AI. While they do low 1:57s if you create a lobby. Which is arguably still too slow btw

Damn, it's weird not sure what I changed but now it does seem to work. So nevermind the above I did enable the Lua but server says sms_rotate_config was configured wrong. Anyway, it's working now hehe

 

Hi guys, someone know the id of gt3 class for the dedicated server? Thanks

 

http://127.0.0.1:9000/api/list/vehicle_classes

 

There isn't the id of gt3

 

Yes there is. If you can't see it then it's because your DS is not updated to the latest version.

"value" : -112887377,
"name" : "GT3"

 

and as long you don't update your DS, the values above will not work

 

Hello Guys,
i´m currently preparing a excel document that enables you to create the complete server.cfg file based on inputs in the excel.
When i start the server i get the following output, it seems to stuck at the point where it wants to write into the sms_stats_data file.

Output in conole:

What could be the reason for it getting stuck?

as long as you don't post the "input", nobody can debug your "output".
so, w/o your sever.cfg it's ridicoulos to try to assume anything

Is there any plugin or other way to change driver positions in grid ? What are the commands and ways to communicate data to the server ?
Wanting to run reverse grid races without using a lap to switch positions.

 

I waited for quite a while, but the server is not starting.
I can also not reach it via localhost:9000 adress in a webbrowser.

The console output is stuck at the position i mentioned.
It does not proceed.

I tried another server.cfg i created without my tool and it´s starting up fine.

// - Rename Lua addon metadata files from *.txt to *.json
// - Remove default config from the metadata and put it into separate file *_default_config.json
// - Separate config and persistent data, so that data saved by addons will not pollute the config files, and the config files will retain all comments from the default files.

you have 2 entries here
maxPlayerCount : 16 16


Also i would try:
sportsPlay: false
while testing

 

Thanks, I will try later
Cheers

 

Hello,
thank you very much Wolfgang.
It was the sportsPlay option.
It´s a bit strange because it worked with other servers i created.

Anyway, Problem Solved, Thanks a lot sir!!
Cheers Dan

PS.: Where is the appropiate place to upload my tool to ones i´m finished?

Cheers Dan

 

Seems like a fantastic Tool Dan, can't wait to see it.

 

Hello everyone. I want to make a dedicated server which behaves like a online lobby. The host can choose the car and track combination. After a race the host can choose another car and track combo. Everyone on the server has to take the same vehicle class but can choose an other car then the host. The time for qualifying and race will always be the same even the weather will always be the same. I tried to configure it but after the first race the host could not change the track. Another problem that appeared was that no one could vote for start. Can anyone help me if I post my server.cfg later.

 

Hi, how can I set a mandatory pit stop for a race?
