AMS2 Dedicated Server Tool / SteamCMD Support

Ok, cheers for this information, appreciate it!

 

Thanks!

 

Just released an update for my AMS2 Dedicated Server Toolbox app, that adds an alternative LUA plugin for AMS2 Dedicated Server, which includes sector times in the output.

If you already installed it the upgrade will be automatic. If not you can get the latest release from GitHub

 

I tried to set up a server, but it was not seen online, only on the local network. It turned out that the ports were closed because of the ISP. I have the option to get a static IP, but what protocol do I need, IPv4 or IPv6 ??

 

when you say ports were closed by your ISP, you mean they are closed in the modem/router they've provided to you, or do they close things at their end?

in most cases it's needed to open/forward ports in your router/modem locally.
to answer your other question, as far as i'm aware the dedi uses IPv4.

 

On their side, I opened all the ports and in Windows defender and modem, it turned out that this is because of the provider, because I do not have a main IP. For me, it is an expensive pleasure to buy a static IP, the conditions of the provider are categorically not favorable.

 

Guys, I have one more question!
How can you beat the situation with short tracks in rotation with long tracks?
The server swears at the inflated grid...

The problem is displayed in the log:


For example, here's a piece of a track in a rotation file:

{
"TrackId": "Buskerud_Short",
"GridSize": 24,
"MultiClassSlots": 2,
"MultiClassSlot1": "KartShifter",
"MultiClassSlot2": "Kartcross",
"RaceLength": 10
},

But there is still a warning.

This is what it looks like Server.cfg

////////////////////////////////
// Game setup control options //
////////////////////////////////

allowEmptyJoin : true
controlGameSetup : true

sessionAttributes : {
"ServerControlsTrack" : 1,
"ServerControlsVehicleClass" : 1,

"GridSize" : 26,
"MaxPlayers" : 15,

"OpponentDifficulty" : 90,

// These values will be overridden sms_rotate, but serve as insurance
"PracticeLength" : 5,
"QualifyLength" : 5,
"RaceLength" : 5,

"DamageType" : 3,
"TireWearType" : 2,
"FuelUsageType" : 2,
"PenaltiesType" : 1,
"AllowedViews" : 0, // Any (CockpitOnly in rotation)

"RaceWeatherSlots" : 1,
"RaceWeatherSlot1" : "Clear",

 

You don't need a static IP from the provider. You just need a dynamically assigned IPv4 IP address and port forwarding (8766,27015,27016) from that IP to your internal machine behind the NAT on your router.

 

Everything I did at the level of my router and Windows with these ports and protocols is closed.
With all these settings, the server starts only as a local server, no one sees it.

Identical permissions are also spelled out in Windows Defender, in the form of two rules for different protocols. It doesn't help...

Port inspection was carried out using: (Open Port Check Tool - Test Port Forwarding on Your Router)

 

It seems that I solved the issue by changing the conditions in the (Default) section to acceptable ones. These are errors of preliminary analysis. But I didn't check it well!

 

I also have a problem when I test the server alone, without other players, just me and the bots. The server can go down during the race, and this happens at the stage of rotation to another track.

 

Have you solved the issue with Multiclass?
I have a "ghost class". This is some kind of bug in the lobby, UI, or garage. Each next race, the rotation changes, but one class is constantly pursued, and it appears in each race! I damn well don't understand how to fix it, I've been trying to find a solution for the third day ....

 

i suggest to buy Servermanager from Emperor Servers.
This tool is really powerful and costs only 16$

You are about this topic? "AMS2 Dedicated Server Tool / SteamCMD Support"

For some reason, my search on the site does not always work.
For example, by searching for the word "Dedicated", I have nothing.
Therefore, I apologize for this stupid, clarifying entry.


Is that what I understand?
At the moment, my data looks like this:

Now I can select any car class on the server and the bots are the same.
Probably I don't understand something...

I'd be grateful if you could send me a finished sample with track and car rotation, without the ghost class. I'm tired of fighting in this heat.

And this made my server startup log like this:

Attached.
I had to rename server.cfg to .txt, because the .cfg format was not attached.
Thank you for your help!
