DOCS The Server Admin Handbook thread

Sorry then. I did not figure it out to the end.

 

Is it possible to assign a penalty to a specific car so it is applied at the green lights no matter what?

 

Yes. You can read about it in chapter 5 of the server admin handbook. There is a link to it in the OP. Make sure you hand them out during the warmup/formation lap.

 

HEllo everyone,
the server admin hadbook is it updated?

there is laguna_seca_2020 in the accserver?

is this fil can be considered "official" or are any other source of settings for the server?

 

No, the Intercontinental GT and the British GT Tracks only have 2019 versions at this time.

 

but they work with "_2020" alias pretty well

 

I have never tried to do that but it's probably just a canonical name.

 

Hi,
I'm not sure if my question is already answered or not. Can we change event.json, eventRules.json, and entryList.json without restarting accServer.exe? or the server needs to be restarted every time we change the .json files?

thank you

 

restart required

 

a simply question to @Minolin and others that can help me: if i want to organize an endurance race in monza with teams of 3 drivers each, since monza has 50 slots in private race, can i run only 50: 3 = 16 teams?
or with teams of 2 drivers each, can I run only 50: 2 = 25 teams?
Thanks

 

You can Run a 50 car race. Juste be aware that if all the drivers join the server , it may be hard to handel for the server / bandwith

 

50 CAR race?? every car with 2 or 3 drivers?
do you mean that with 50 slots I can run 50 teams, each with 2 or 3 drivers? is it enough that I tell all the teams to let only the driver who has to make the swap enter the server in order not to have bandwitch problems?

 

Yep it should work.

 

done enduros with 35 teams and 2-3 drivers per team... so thats quite a few ppl... plus if you have broadcasting and spectator stewards even more...
biggest issue will be server bandwidth... but if ur on say an AWS tier2 then bandwidth won't be an issue... but host a server at home u wanna have decent upload bandwidth.

another gotya is when you have entry list driver 1 must join first... then other drivers can join, don't' follow this then the team is screwed... and only way is to restart server.

 

AWS tier2??

Hi server admins! Did anyone of you have some problems last few days? Last week we have problems, when stack of people get disconnected in one moment. And i can't understand regularity. Sunday 3h race with 40 cars and over 100 clients on server was fine, no any problems. But today same server and from 24 drivers 8 drops in one moment. What's my problem? I hadn't such issue for a long long time, changed 3 servers through this week, and nothing helps. I need your help or advice maybe. Thanks.

 

anything in the logs? could it be related to the service provider being the same?

 

it's hard to catch because server rewrites logs after restart, but i catch something like this

Code:

8314638: ==ERR: TCP socket error detected 10054

8314638: Client 6 closed the connection (10054)
8314638: ==ERR: TCP socket error detected 10054

8314638: Client 9 closed the connection (10054)
8314638: ==ERR: TCP socket error detected 10054

8314638: Client 10 closed the connection (10054)
8314638: ==ERR: TCP socket error detected 10054

8314638: Client 11 closed the connection (10054)
8314638: ==ERR: TCP socket error detected 10054

8314638: Client 18 closed the connection (10054)
8314638: ==ERR: TCP socket error detected 10054

8314638: Client 20 closed the connection (10054)

Well i don't know. For the last 2 years we tried almost all our local providers, and this issue happend time after time, after that we changed it. With this provider we work for a last year, and there was no issues at all (two races per day, sometimes two or even three tiers per 40 slots each). Last week after this problem, a bought server with more powerful cpu core. It works two days. 3 hour race was clause to ideal, but today problem uppears again. The problem is there not so many regional providers left. All of them had our ACC server stability problem at some step.

I had thought, maybe something changed after the last updates on this week, so decided to ask other admins about their servers work.
