About that maybe-server-api

For that you would at best need to define sectors for a track and make a requirement in the race rules that the joker sector needs to be used at least once or only once.
Checking for surfaces, off track, cutting, is a hack around.

I guess you can define sectors/splits on a regular track but the logic for having a joker section is probably missing in AC since it's not a traditional circuit racing feature but a rallycross. Which means it will fall into drag/drift/hillclimb category: "might do it when we have the spare time".

 

For everyone that may be interested, I've written a little piece of software that allows you to connect more than one UDP plugin to the server - http://www.assettocorsamods.net/resources/acsrelay.97/

I'm trying to make sure anyone that is interested (server admins probably) knows that something like this exists in the wilds of the interwebz.

 

Will this finally bring rain, dynamic grip line and night endurance racing to AC?

On topic: what does this mean for me as stupid server user?

 

It means you can have rain, dynamic grip line and night endurance racing ALL AT THE SAME TIME!

All joking aside, for the casual racers it doesn't mean too much (yet). But servers can now run more than one plugin at the same time, so there is no longer the need to choose between sTracker and MinoRating (for example) - you could have both. Server admins are the target...

In the long run, racers will benefit from the actual plugins. Clean racing? Use MinoRating. Want to check detailed stats about the race? sTracker.
But since admins can run more plugins now, maybe this will increase the development in this area (the UDP plugins thing) and casual users will see the benefits.

 

Thank you @ihlades. It's great having a relay for the UDP API. I'm just wondering, if you'd mind to open a thread here in AC forums, maybe under https://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/index.php?forums/programming-language-apps-gui-themes.22/ (though it does not exactly fit). You can still host this app under assettocorsamods, but it would make communication a bit easier. Just a suggestion, if you don't want to do that, it's OK.

Just wondering, does this also add support for relaying AUTH requests? E.g. you can think of AND-ing multiple AUTH's from multiple plugins into a final answer.

Greetings!

Hey Neys, good to hear from you. The thread is already there - https://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/i...ect-multiple-udp-plugins-to-the-server.26962/ . If I can, I will facilitate communication anywhere; it's just that I spend more time over at assettocorsamods

Regarding the AUTH part: the short answer is no, currently ACSRelay has nothing to do with the AUTH part of the server. There are two reasons for that: Mainly, the server is BUGGED when it comes to auth, and it lacks plenty of features. I'd like to see this change, but I have the feeling it's not a priority for Kunos. The second reason is that I want to focus with the UDP plugin features, make sure everything works as it should and provide all the features that a server admin would need to have. I have thought of doing the AUTH part, but first things first.

Victor.

 

Fair enough

 

Just so I understand, if I use this relay for stracker and MR, will this line still work in the server_cfg?...

AUTH_PLUGIN_ADDRESS=plugin.minorating.com:805/minodata/auth/ABC/?m=1

 

Yes, the AUTH feature works the same with or without ACSRelay.

 

Hmmm, you cannot guarantee packet delivery over UDP, so there's a slight chance the server's request won't reach the plugin, or the response won't get to the server... And TCP makes no sense, since you're making a single request, so a connection-oriented protocol would not suit the purpose... Then again, HTTP runs over TCP, so there's that.

But how about fixing the bug that keeps denied connections alive on the server? Or sending more parameters to the AUTH plugin (such as player's desired car, whether the player's GUID is in the entry_list.cfg, etc.)?

BTW, how about something like this to configure the AUTH aggregator? It would be trivial to implement.

Code:

[AUTH]
FALLBACK=OK # Fallback response in case of an internal error or an unresponsive AUTH plugin.
RULE=(1 AND 2) OR 3
AUTH_1=http://plugin.minorating.com:805/minodata/auth/ABC/?m=1
AUTH_2=http://some-url.com/uri.php?
AUTH_3=http://another-url.com/auth.php?

 

I search for method to get realtime information for my server .. before 1.2 i get them over http://IP:HTTPPORT/JSON but now i dont get any information.
Hope someone can help so i can create my own lil php server tool

 

Wasn't it "/JSON|" with a pipe at the end?

 

Yeah that right Thanks man
Is a UDP PHP Wrapper out to get Information in JSON Format ?

 

is there any method to set the track and ambient temperature using an API? the setting in server_cfg.ini seems static for length of session, is there a way to adjust when running a session?

sorry if this has been asked already, simple question but I can't find how to in any of the Python examples. Was hoping to make a mod so temperature follows diurnal cycle.
