AMS2 Dedicated Server Tool / SteamCMD Support

I remembered seeing this after I already got the server running so I didn't pay much mind to it. But looking back at it, this would work way easier than my method I used. That being said, there is an easier way to install steamcmd via ubuntu, and you can use the anonymous username when running the install command. I didn't make a directory to install Steam in (it creates one named "steam"). I also didn't create a user to do so, but I already had a user that wasn't root either.

sudo add-apt-repository multiverse; sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386; sudo apt update
sudo apt install steamcmd

 

Anyone knows the Track ID for the Betonschleife 1971? I can't find that one on the enum page.

 

That should be:

-1999809693
According to /api/list/tracks on the dedi

 

Dedi says unknown track when I start it up. What could be the issue?

 

Is your dedi fully updated?

Edit, i just tried it myself, and setting it in the server.cfg works for me:

 

I have to correct myself.
There really does not seem to be a native Linux DS.
I thought I had it installed, but the folder I used is empty.
The package ID 1338040 includes the Windows DS only and the User Guide uses the package ID from Project Cars 2.

 

Is the server only on Windows or can I open it on Linux?

 

Where do I set this text?

I tried going to sms_motd_config.json

But nothing appeared.

// The message to send to each new session member. If empty, "Welcome to 'SERVER_NAME'" will be used.
"motd" : "",

 

Use these two slashes
// to prevent unwanted information from being published.
// Anything written after them is not published.

an example:
// In this case "restrictions" will not be published,
If you want to publish restrictions remove the two slashes //

Code:

"send_setup" : [
"controls",
"format",
// "restrictions",
"weather",
"date"
],

Set your message to "motd" : "" without any strange characters, some of which cause errors.

Code:

config : {
"motd" : "Your greeting to newcomers"
"send_setup" : [
"date"
],
"send_when_returning_to_lobby" : true
}

If you want your welcome message to be published you must remove the two slashes // in the server.cfg file in:

Code:

luaApiAddons : [
"sms_base",
"sms_rotate",
// "sms_motd",
"sms_stats",
]

And that's it, I hope it helps you

I got it running using Wine and XVFB using the Windows client on a linux box. If people are interested, I would be up for writing a more detailed instruction on how to install on linux.

 

You can run it on Linux, but you have to run it using Wine and XVFB as since most people will be running this on a headless Linux box, you'll need something to simulate a video display. I've been contemplating making a detailed instruction on how to install it on Linux.

 

Hello friend, so it only appears on the left side, but not on the right where there is the question mark ????

 

Exactly, you can use it to have your own reference, for example:

Code:

"sms_motd", "welcome" // This tag is used to send a welcome message

Or to override a tag in the code:

Code:

// "sms_motd", "welcome" // This tag is used to send a welcome message

In the first case, the welcome message will be sent, and in the second, it will not.

 

Hi there!
I have a question regarding the dedicated server and what 1.6 will be... Will AMS2 have the dedicated server as an exclusive tool to create events? Or will the two ways of connecting to an event, p2p mode and the dedicated server, still be valid? With the multiplayer adjustments you have made, will there be a difference between using P2P and/or the dedicated server? is one going to be left alone? Will one work better than the other? thank you.

 

its all under the hood and transparent for the user.
All you'll have to do is install the updated DS on your server.
P2P and DS will work as before, DS just a bit mor reliable than b4

 

Emperor servers do a server manager for it. Easy as pie..

 

Wow thanks for the response after 4 years of my original post.

Even though I already got the answer. ☺️

 

LOL that's hilarious. I didn't even see the date tbh. Was just randomly scrolling ,

 

I'm curious with the v1.6 update how LFM is running their servers if anyone knows. Is there any new functionality to support a host-less operation or is LFM just setting everything to server controlled and turning off "waiting for race ready" input?

 

The dedi functionality hasn't changed, i think they run with the setting to automatically move to the next session turned on.

Race ready input wait should be turned on, which they have i believe, otherwise you don't have any chance to change your fuel load
