Option to disable car quotas

A minor thing, probably not so minor for the ones writing the code but still really important nevertheless.

So many times browsing servers to find some interesting combo, I have found one but still did not join because all the cars I'd like to drive were taken. Is it possible to add an option for server admins that they can choose the cars that will be used on the server, but no skins or how many of each car will be used?

Server info would say for an example:
RUF CTR | 5 clients
Ferrari F40 | 10 clients
total: 15/24 clients

Basically let's "fool" the server that there is 24 cars of each type and still limit the max clients to 24. With this option there could be 24 F40's racing at the same time and nobody is forced to use the RUF, unless they want to. Skins for the cars would be autopicked from the pool in the order.

 

The current servers are made in a way that each single car is already loaded even if no one is driving it.
Doing it as you suggest would defeat the whole purpose of the current method, which is to eliminate the loading lag when someone joins the server.

 

Ah, you're right. So only option would be to amount of different cars x24 which would take too long..

 

That sucks.

 

So for example let's imagine if we have 24 slot server with 8 x f40, 8 x f1gtr and 8 x cobra. Let's imagine we have 8 people on the server sitting in the f40s. Then when someone wants to join and pick 9th f40 the clients could load one of the existing skin already in use instead of new 9th one? Would that work? So in the case of 9 x f40 you would have 9 cars with 8 different skins. Because we can't choose our skins it doesn't really matter if one skin is shared by two or three cars.

That being I don't know how ac preloads those cars for empty slots so this may not work. If there is someone using skin1 in f40 and 2nd player joins is it possible to load that skin1 again for the new player without others having to load anything who are already on the server?

But it at least sounds simple. I'd still prefer it as an option. Sometimes you want to force some variety (think gt3 class server for example, you want variety of cars and not everybody running the newest lambo gt3 for example).

 

I think all the cars on track have to be loaded invidually, not just 1 model and bunch of skins..
