This looks like a nice tool but unfortunately as a noob on the dedicated hosting aspect of the game, and others where I race ho aren't comfortable messing with so many manual inputs without a less "tentative" interface (as in, having to go into .txt to discover and alter specifics), I will have to wait a bit longer before pushing this on. Congrats on the work though!

An amazing tool Thomas, but I have more than one Dedicated Server. So the server_cfg.ini's are in different folders and not in the folder server\cfg. E.g. C:\AC\server\cfg_RF3C\server_cfg.ini. Now I will read the server_cfg.ini from this folder to your tool.
I have tried many things, but it doesn't work. What I have to write to the line "<add key =" acServerDirectory "value =""/>" to load the server_cfg.ini from this folder - C:\AC\server\cfg_RF3C\? Thanks in advanced for your answer.

I hope my english is good enough to understand

acServerDirectory specifies the directory where your acServer.exe is located. If you put the AC_TrackCycle.exe in the same folder as the acServer.exe, it will find it automatically, you don't need to put anything in <add key ="acServerDirectory"value = ""/>

The easiest way to run multiple servers would be to make a copy of the whole folder, including the acServer.exe, the cfg and the AC_TrackCycle.exe and start the server from there.

IF your want to cycle through different cfg templates then the templates need to be located in subfolders of the cfg folder(just like the old serverlaucher created them), and you need to put the name of the subfolders in templateCycle, for example <add key="templateCycle" value="spa_gt3;nurburgring_street_mix"/> where spa_gt3 is the name of a .\cfg\spa_gt3 folder containing a server_cfg.ini and/or entry_list.ini

If extracting the files to your acServer directory and filling the plugin lines
UDP_PLUGIN_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1:12000
UDP_PLUGIN_LOCAL_PORT=11000
in your server_cfg.ini is too much effort, then you will need to wait a bit longer.

I don't handle the server aspect of it of the site where I race, the folks there are in their late 50s... It can be difficult sometimes .

I got a question, i just need a simple track rotation on my server, its a local one, not dedicated, im managing it, i dont understand anything in there really i JUST want a track rotation, and does it work with booking mode?

Yes, this should work with booking mode.

To get the track rotation running, you need to
-extract the files from the zip into your acServer directory, so it is next to the acServer.exe
-in the cfg/server_cfg.ini you need to paste these lines

UDP_PLUGIN_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1:12000
UDP_PLUGIN_LOCAL_PORT=11000

in the same file you need to enter the tracks you want to run, for example

[TRACK_CYCLE]
TRACKS=spa,5;nurburgring,6;mugello,6;silverstone,6;imola,6;vallelunga,club_circuit,7

(note this is not the same place where you usually enter the track, this is TRACKS=... and it's always track,laps separated with semicolon)
-start the AC_TrackCycle.exe and press the Start button

You can also take a look at the example configuration here

[Florea Calin]

But what if we use a 15 minutes session and not laps, how would that work with the rotation, being that we need to put track>laps> etc

 

[ThomasGocke]

for practice and qualifying you can specify the length in minutes as you have done before, the lap count in the TRACKS=... is only for the race.

Aa ok thanks, good info

 

[Emrah1996]

I have a problem in the chat how can i solve ?

 

[ThomasGocke]

It looks like you didn't set the ports of the plugin correctly.

UDP_PLUGIN_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1:12000
UDP_PLUGIN_LOCAL_PORT=11000

If you want you can send me your server_cfg.ini and I will take a look.
Or you could try with this config:http://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/index.php?attachments/cfg-zip.68659/

 

[Emrah1996]

yes ahhm your cfg settings worked for chat but I write and press enter Track change command but it's not working.

(sorry I used your password)

 

[ThomasGocke]

not my password

The /change_track command is for use while you are in the game. If you want to change the track from the tool window just click on the "Next Track" button until you reach the track you want.

 

[Emrah1996]

ah okay and I solved admin commands worked in the server chat.Thank you
