Misc ACC Dedicated Server GUI 1.5.1.1

[Tebb]

@Tebb Sorry man, was in a rush and thought you might find the answer in the handbook, wasn't trying to be an ass.

Anyway, the handbook says "The custom car file has to be located in a “cars” folder next to the entrylist.json" so that's how I coded the GUI. Have you tried this?

Ok all good thanks Martin. It's getting late here, nearly 2am so I'm gonna hit the hay , and I'll try again soon and relay, perhaps with more screenshots of my directories if I'm still not coming right. Txs

Hi Martin, confirming I came right by placing the actual json file in a subfolder lablelled cars (the verbiage in the handbook tripped me up, I was placing the accompanying livery folder contents in the cars folder). Copying the jsons out of the documents folder resolved.

Thanks,

This UI is great !

but...

Perhaps you can add an info field to the UI where you can simply write a free text. Or that the ServerName is displayed in the title bar above. That would make it much easier to find the right server when you have multiple servers running.

I concur with this! What I found myself doing though, is 'creating' the config files using the GUI, and then writing a separate bat file to launch the servers so that we can still have the differentiation of the server name in our consoles.

Great idea, will note it down for next release.

Hi Martin!

I have two more suggestions for quality-of-life enhancements for consideration please:

1) a 'Count' of the number of entries in the 'Entry List' somewhere (even if its just in the title). This would be a really useful sense-check for league managements when we have multiple divisions and for peace of mind want to check we've caught everyone. An example mockup is below.

2) Validation on the 'Player ID' field (steam64 GUID). For example, showing a warning if it doesn't meet the expected format. For example, missing the 'S' prefix that ACC requires, and also if it doesn't contain exactly 18 characters (17 steamID number + 1 for the S prefix).

Every now and then, when launching our servers someone has come back saying they can't get in etc, and once or twice its been because we forgot the 'S' prefix for instance in the playerID field or a typo. A warning/validation would help catch these .... when setting up 3x divisions of 40-50 drivers in each division, a slip here and there is bound to happen

Read the rest of this update entry...

 

[Tebb]

Awesome, thanks for the super quick turnaround!

 

[Juttie205]

I am having issues with players numbers I add to entry list with the number they have chosen but some players when they join server are allocated wrong number even though no one else has allocated.

Also when I select force entry list nobody can join says server is full?.

 

[Martin Vindis]

@Juttie205 Sounds like a issue with the player ID

 

[Juttie205]

I have double checked all steam 64id all looks ok

Hi Guys,

Its possible to create a track lits? I.e, the server runs a list of tracks and its not necessary shutdowns the server to run a different track

If its possible, how can i do?

Thank you on advance.

 

[HaloInR3v3rs3]

Any way to set a certain rotation of tracks other than a random one? Or is this just an issue with ACC?

It's unfortunately a limitation of ACC.

One of our guys riased to our attention that 2020 versions of the IGT tracks are available in ACC. The manual for the DS only says 2019 tough and the list in your GUI also has only 2019 versions. Can you add the 2020 aswell please?

I thought someone made that up but in the player stats there are 2020 versions of these tracks and if I manually configuure the event.json:
"track": "kyalami_2020",

It comes up as the 2020 version in the server list in the lobby.

Thanks for the heads up. Just to make sure, is it all 4 tracks? Laguna Seca, Mount Panorama, Suzuka and Kyalami?

 

[Matjaž Murn]

Yes it's all four tracks. I've since received confirmation that the BoP on these 2020 versions is the same as in 2019 (that's why the Admin Handbook doesn't have any info about the 2020 version).

You can leave it as is for now until Kunos sends out an update about the 2020 BoP for these tracks - otherwise it's pointless to have 2020 versions if they're the same as 2019.

Sorry for the confusion.

I did not find the reason for these errors, but it seems that everything works normal!
