AMS2 Dedicated Server Tool / SteamCMD Support

I have created an application that made it easier for me to manage my AMS2 Dedicated Server and get the race results. It is an open source cross platform app called AMS2 Dedicated Server Toolbox and is available to install from GitHub.

You will find installers for Windows, Linux and MacOS and it is self updating. Please give it a try and let me have any constructive feedback or issues via GitHub Issues or Discord

 

Hello! How work function RaceWeatherProgression on dedicated?

 

Hi,
Is it possible to do a server rotation with a muliclass event, followed by a single class event, then another single class event in the sms_rotate_config file?

eg

Race 1
P1 / GT3 multiclass
Silverstone

Race 2
Procars
Spielberg

eg.

I've searched, and tried different ways, but cannot get it to work.

Anybody have a working example they can share?

Thanks

 

That's how I generated it with an Excel spreadsheet. Very important: `default`: `{}` contains all the options you want to use in each combination.

 

Thanks,

I am running into the same problem with your rotate_config file.

Race 1 is the Formula Trainer
When I go back to the lobby, there should be 4 classes for Race 2 to choose from as per the race 2 multiclass slots, but I am getting 5 classes, with the Formula Trainer included.

Not sure if it is just my game

 

In event 2, delete the two slashes:

Code:

// VehicleClassID : 31429440 ,

and leave it like this:

Code:

VehicleClassID : 31429440 ,

 

Thanks drak64,

Managed to get it working, by removing the two slashes on the VehicleClassID

When I did the VehicleModelID, the Multiclass race only had the Ligier as an option, but your suggestion pushed me in the right direction.

Thanks again.

Thank you for the correction.

 

Are dedicated servers not showing up in the browser for 1.6.9.5.3231.AVX, even with filtering turned off?

 

Hi,

I’m running an Automobilista 2 Dedicated Server and I would like to automate the start of the first lobby, without requiring a player/host to manually press “Vote to Start”.

Current setup:

allowEmptyJoin : true
controlGameSetup : true
enableHttpApi : true
enableLuaApi : true

The server correctly controls the setup, track and vehicle class. Players can join an empty server, but when the first player joins, the lobby appears to be player-allocated and that first player is marked as host=true.

What I would like to achieve:

- A player joins the empty dedicated server.
- The server detects that the lobby has at least one player.
- After a configured delay, for example 30 seconds, the server automatically starts the session.
- No client should need to press “Vote to Start”.

Things already tested:

- HTTP API POST /api/session/advance returns ok, but the lobby remains in SessionState=Lobby.
- Lua AdvanceSession(0) is accepted/logged, but also does not start the first lobby.
- Adding sessionAttributes directly in server.cfg works for initial settings, but does not start the lobby.
- controlGameSetup=true disables host setup controls, but the first player is still host=true.
- AutoAdvanceSession seems to affect later/end-of-session flow, not the first lobby start.

Question:

Is there any supported way, via server.cfg, HTTP API, Lua API, or another dedicated-server mechanism, to trigger the same action as the client “Vote to Start” button for the first lobby?

Or is a client-side vote/button press required by design for the first player-created lobby?

Thanks.

Hi there again! thanks for the update.
I can't find documentation about this for DS, changelog doesn't show anything, API is not updated and the user guide.pdf is not updated .



Is not implemented on DS yet? thanks.

 

Shouldn't these options be available to change now (apart from tire pressures) when using the force default setups setting?
