DOCS The Server Admin Handbook thread

Same here cloud levels set at 1.0 and the game loads with clear weather (with a bit of cloud), also we always have 'optimum' track settings from the start of practice, track riddled with marbles like they just finished a 24hr race there.

So basically make the changes, restart and then restart again without any changes to the file for the effects to take place correct?

 

Hi guys, I'm trying to enter an entry list but ACCserver.exe doesnt seem to use it (dont see it in the logs when I launch the server).

Just added 2 simple entries, me and a friend
- Me, server admin, number #51 with free car model
- My friend, not admin, number #25 with BMW M6 forced model

Am I doing something wrong ??

The file is saved with Notepad++ in UTF-16LE as requested.

Code:

{
 "entries": [
 {
    "drivers": [
        {
            "playerID": "S76561197978930535"
        }
    ],
    "raceNumber": 51,
    "forcedCarModel": -1,
    "overrideDriverInfo": 0,
    "isServerAdmin": 1
 },
 {
    "drivers": [
        {
            "playerID": "S76561198013182338"
        },
 
    ],
    "raceNumber": 25,
    "forcedCarModel": 7,
    "overrideDriverInfo": 0,
    "isServerAdmin": 0
 }
 ]
}

 

Do you want no other people to join the server?

You need to add "forceEntryList": 1 at the very end

Is file located in cfg folder?

Code:

{
 "entries": [
 {
 "drivers": [
 {
"firstName": "Donald",
"lastName": "Trump",
 "playerID": "S+steamid"
 }
 ],
 "raceNumber": 69,
 "forcedCarModel": 7,
 "overrideDriverInfo": 1,
 "isServerAdmin": 0
 },

{
 "drivers": [
 {
"firstName": "Vladimir",
"lastName": "Putin",
 "playerID": "S+steamid"
 }
 ],
 "raceNumber": 6,
 "forcedCarModel": 3,
 "overrideDriverInfo": 1,
 "isServerAdmin": 0
 }

],
"forceEntryList": 1
}

 

Just tried as you said with the "forceEntryList" option but no difference. The server doesn't seem to use the entrylist.json file.

Code:

Server starting with version 251

maxClientsOverride exceeds the allowed slots by Rating requirement (25). Add Track Medal and Safety Rating Requirements to gain up to 30 slots (3 TM + 70 SA)

EDIT : tried with 1.0.4 and 1.0.5 beta

 

There is no other configuration for entrylist in any of the files.

Just create entrylist.json file with notepad in cfg folder

And try to use my version of entry list... just add your steam ID and see if your last name is Trump or Putin, than it works

 

Correct.

 

Your config probably does not work because your JSON file is invalid.
If you look closely, you'll see that you have an extra comma next to the closing curly braces after the second player's ID.

It is recommended to check your config with a syntax validator like JSONLint or jsonformatter to avoid such problems.
A neat side effect is that they'll do all the fancy indentation for you as well.

 

Thanks @azzah that was just that !

Many thanks for the tip, I'll bookmark these websites now

 

Didn't do the trick, we reset multiple times without any changes made and with dynamic weather at 0 and cloud level at 1.0 we still had clear weather no matter what.
Also all sessions were optimum track surface, how do we get that to green?

 

Some update around 250mb... but no info what is it... Beta 1.05

 

Decided to add more fun to the championship. Created P Q Q R

I understood we get average with Q1 and Q2, but it was a complete mess on the grid in Race session (

 

If understand well :

What seems to work : P, Q,Q,R,R like on a sprint WE.
What may work : P,Q,Q,Q, R like an endurance WE.

 

Update to driver swap. But not work.

 

Hi
In the Server Admin Handbook
in the third session "Q" ...
Should not it be "R"?

 

There is a bug. I did Q, Q, R.

The two non-timed drivers were ranked first and second places in start race.

 

nope, tested today Q,Q,R... was a mess... It looked like reverse grid according on average of Q1 and Q2...

 

In our race It was reverse So I had to reset the server and do regular qual

Fastest guy of Q1 and Q2 was last on the grid

 

For setting up your server first time or weekend as a normal race YES it should be R, so if your copy/pasting to get started change that to R !

& Kudos to the Nice discussion /experimentation going on about the QQQ , driver swaps and everything for that matter ! .. Keep it up guys !!

This is where it's all going to happen & guys with les time and smarts are relying on you guys to sort all this for the rest of us humans ..

 

Anyone manage to setup a server with cloudy weather and where the conditions aren't always optimum? Please advice thanks.

 

Is this still true for the last build of 1.0.5? I'cant make it work doesn't metter if overrideCarModelForCustomCar: 1 or 0.
