AMS2 Dedicated Server Tool / SteamCMD Support

It's in the following folder:
\steamapps\common\Automobilista 2 - Dedicated Server

Here is the latest change log:

2024-12-04
------------

- Fixed Power/Weight data for some vehicles
- Added DLC data for 1.6 cycle content

 

I forgot !

 

I don't think this changelog has been updated for the latest release as the last entry was for the previous release, so don't know what has changed.

 

Hi
I now about httpapi
like /api/list/attributes/session
But how works with lua api

or globals "lists.flags.session" or "SessionFlags" in Lua API (Example)
where i can find it ?
Or how is the Url ?
Thanks

 

Hi
does somebody now what the api events url is
i like to see the message output from the server

i think start with this /api/log/ ... and than like server-chat

 

Hi All HNY to everyone, especially the Reiza team!
I'm hoping someone might be able to help me find the "extra_data" values using the Lua Tables/Lists.

HTTP API for url api/list/tracks?extra_data=1 results in this:

Code:

"list" : [
      {
        "id" : -559709709,
        "name" : "Adelaide_Historic",
        "gridsize" : 26,
        "default_day" : 13,
        "default_month" : 11,
        "default_year" : 1988,
        "extra_data" : {
          "untranslated_name" : "adelaide_historic",
          "translated_name" : "Adelaide Historic 1988",
          "length" : 3780,
          "city" : "Adelaide",
          "country" : "Australia",
          "country_code" : "AU"
        }
      },

In Lua, I can access the base track data using this code which I'm outputing to the addon.data in json:

Code:

for k,v in pairs(name_to_track) do
        k = v.name
        tracks[k] = {}
        tracks[k].id = v.id
        tracks[k].name = v.name
        tracks[k].gridsize = v.gridsize
        tracks[k].default_year = v.default_year
end

OUTPUT:

Code:

"tracks" : {
    "Adelaide_Historic" : {
      "default_year" : 1988,
      "gridsize" : 26,
      "id" : -559709709,
      "name" : "Adelaide_Historic"
    },
    "Adelaide_Modern" : {
      "default_year" : 2020,
      "gridsize" : 32,
      "id" : 827815091,
      "name" : "Adelaide_Modern"
    },

I'm trying to get this data to make my lua DRB addon choose better race combos..

EDIT: Would also be nice if data included a "headlights" boolean, that way I could also utilise day night racing knowing which cars/classes have headlights..
EDIT: Sorry to tag you directly @Dave Stephenson, but I'm going bald!!...is the extra data seen in the HTTP API available from tables/lists within LUA?

 

Curious if I'm missing something since the 1.6 update. I cannot get the server to show up in the multiplayer list. After some investigation, it seems that it isn't showing joinable, therefore it isn't showing up. It does show the "allowEmptyJoin" as true, and its worked previously. I did update the server just to see if that would make a difference but still nothing. I'm now considering nuking current dedicated server and starting from scratch, I do have the server.cfg file backed up, but wanted to get some insight here. Anybody else know of a way to enable it to be joinable via the api?

 

Silly question, have you updated the dedicated server?

Check ports are open but if still it doesn't appear in game Lobby List, another thing to check is the online.log file in /Documents/Automobilista2/log/.

Dedicated servers that are running outdated code, won't appear in lobby list look like this:

Code:

(YOUR SERVER NAME)  with invalid server protocol version 10074, expected 10075

 

there were 2 updates since 1.6
Maybe you havent installed the latest version

 

Thats honestly what happened. When I went into my terminal in Linux and was installing via steamcmd, it was saying it was completing, however it wasn't updating it like it said. I had to completely remove the folder, and redownload it from scratch. Not a big deal now that I know for the future though.

 

Hello,
Yesterday we organized an event and we experienced a nightmare that force us to host the race from a players's computer. The dedicated server ejected 6 players out of 18 after the practice session (just before the qualif).
Usually we are 12 players and no problem.
What can be the problem? I thought this kind of problem were fixed since 1.6 update.
If it's a server problem, what can it be?
We are running it from a Windows 10 Pro x64.

Second question: if we host the race from a player's computer, is it possible to generate the "sms_stats_data.json" file?
Thanks a lot.

 

to the 2nd question: no

Maybe with other tools like 2nd monitor you can write your own protocol

 

Hi all,

I and many racers in our group are noticing lag/glitches during online races.
Cars who are 5 car lengths in front of you suddenly appear right in front of you.
You hit them and suddenly they are back 5 car lengths away.

Racing close to each other, suddenly the car beside you (or near in front) starts to move sideways, like a crab, and hit you or you anticipate to the movement. And just like they moved sideways, they also go back to their original path as if nothing happened.
Rubber-banding, that was the term I heard in our group that describes exactly how it looks and feels.

My PC is hardwired, Gigabit network, max ping to the server sits at 22ms, average ping sits at 20ms.
If I tracert the IP address of the Emperor server, i do get a lot of *'s.
I believed that * could mean that packagelost is a fact.

Could this be the issue?
If so, all drivers in our group are suffering the same issue, how come?
Any possibility to monitor this network thing?

 

Hi there!
Question is:
How can I restrict which car each driver should use on my server when it is multiclass or multiseries? In lfm you must choose the car on the web and with that you must participate, when you are in the lobby you get the message that you chose your car correctly or incorrectly, how is that done within the dedicated server? Could it not only be restricted to a car, could it also be restricted to a specific livery? can you have and use an entry list? how it works?

Thanks!

 

It is probably a LUA script they created, probably working together with a whitelist.

I don't know the specifics though

 

It would save us some work, I had to make the list manually, with that the start time and even the speed of time are randomly chosen.

 

When I've seen this "crabbing" happen, it's usually that driver has a high ping. For me sub 500ms is good, but when it's above that it can get a bit sketchy....

 

I don't now either but it would be a custom lua script, basic example would be on LFM when players signup and select car, as soon as signups close this data gets written to a special json data file that is sent to the server, the custom lua script would check this json data file for users steam id when they enter the server, match it to whitelist in normal config and then match the steamid to the car selected at signup versus the car selected in game, if mismatch send chat message, if not changed within x secs, force kick.

 

Hopefully the devs can add this someday and inlcude more data like you see ingame for both cars and tracks plus make that available in lua tables as well..fingers crossed!
