DOCS The Server Admin Handbook thread

Doesn´t work anymore.

 

I use this to test and validate .json files its quite helpful as its easy to add or remove something that makes the json invalid. https://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/

 

I know from the Manual and the only Thing I exchanged was the Server.exe and to add .json in the entrylist.
But whatever I try, the car doesn´t change and my customdesign isn´there.
The racingnumber is already in the entrylist, so it didn´t come from the car.json


ERR: CustomCarINforFile cfg/cars/SaschaSullivan is defined, but not found

 

Finally a reboot of the Server (not only the exe) helped, but that is strange.
I´m OK for now.

 

Appreciate your help & work.

 

@Minolin

Is the driver swap working now?

 

I'm going to test tonight.

 

Guys is the "isServerAdmin": 1 working for any of you ?
I have it set to 1 and validated the entylist.json but when I join the server im not admin & need to do the /admin PW .. ?

Thanks !

 

doesn't work, just tested.

2 different crashes.

1. Teammate joins the server... As soon he clicks on SETUP - crash
2. Driver swap works, teammate can drive, no problem, but he cannon add fuel in pit menu. I tried to add fuel, nothing, then clicked on something right above fuel - got crash.

 

Admin works for me and has for a few builds now, is your entry list a valid .json? Is the server showing that its using the entry list on load?

 

@Minolin

Some unusual situations. Good and bad.

> The first part of the driver Swap test:

Car # 12 = model 24h
During free practice
- the first driver Swap works perfectly (driver 1> driver 2);
- driver 2 can not return the car to driver 1 (hud mfd disappears),
- There have been some random crashes for driver 2 when clicking on pit strategy
- driver 2 can not make pit stop (tire and fuel does not activate);
- Driver 2 has crash the game when he changes the pit stop strategy;

> The second part of the test.
During RACE

We made 10 or more driver swaps, in sequence without problems. Amost all fine.

We identified other issues in the race:

- spectator driver does not see the windshield wiper work while the other driver controls the car (always);
- During the driver swap, if you have set the tire changed from dry to wet, the other driver receives the car with a dry tire (always);
- During a driver swap, the other driver received the car with broken suspension or the 4 tires pierced. We did not find out what it was. The driver could not leave the pits (happened 1x).
- If the driver who is in the car leaves the server, the driver swap fails if the spectator driver does not leave and return as well.
- driver spactator still crash when click in menu SETUP.

Conclusion

The driver swap works well during the race session. Despite some small bugs.

It does not work in free practice.

 

I had the same issues but during the race session. Cannot add fuel and etc... Then got crash.

 

Also spectator driver doesnt see the headlights on

 

Hi Thx , yes I validated it using the link you provided a few pages ago .. & no I don't think it is showing on start up .. I will go do a restart & have a look again .

 

Deff not showing on start up ;-( .. so far I have re created all the cfg by setting configuration 1 to 0 & letting it rebuild (did this for all of them), then I took all the .json files and validated them - none had any errors , I see one of the newer commands in settings is the "centralEntryListPath": "" do I need to use this now to point it to the cfg folder with the entrylist.json ? I thought this was for a relocated entry list while if left blank uses default in server/cfg ?
I must have screwed something up as the entry list is simply not working at all for me ;-( ..

 

Latest 02/07/2019 server gives an error on custom car liveries for me
==ERR: CustomCarInfoFile cfg/cars/xxx is defined, but not found

Maybe has to do with that I didn't have:
"centralEntryListPath": ""
in the settings .json
Will check that next.

 

@Minolin,

New tests today with the drivers swaps.

Today unfortunately the result was not good.

Car # 12 = model 24h
During free practice and race sessions:
- the first driver Swap works perfectly (driver 1> driver 2);
- driver 2 can not return the car to driver 1 (hud mfd disappears or not function),
- There have been crashes for driver 2 when clicking on pit strategy,
- driver 2 can not make pit stop (pull and fuel does not activate);
- Driver 2 has crash the game when it changes the pit stop strategy;
- Compound of tires does not change (dry> wet or wet> dry) during the exchange of drivers. It is worth what was loaded in the setup by driver 1;

Very sad about this. I was hoping to be able to stage the final round of the championship on Sunday.
