Weren't you already registered? Skins have another installation in Beta 7:

"bodyworks\paints\tk" for T karts
"bodyworks\paints\nl" for C karts
"bodyworks\paints\fl" for B karts

and copy the PNT file in the appropriate directory.

It is also possible to have a paint for a specific kart, using the following structure:
"karts\t_kf1\paints"
"karts\t_kf3\paints"
"karts\t_kz1\paints"
"karts\t_fs250\paints"
"karts\t_f100\paints"
... and so on

For the helmet and visor:
"driver\helmets\sk6\paints"
or
"driver\helmets\sk6_s\paints"

 

[Mark Guy]

Okay cool my game is working again with skins, just need to work out the helmets now.
Thanks Lars for your help.

 

[Lars Brugman]

Mark Guy you should make sure you used the good e-mail, or is your online working already?

I would settle for having some AI or GHOST karts to race against.

Ghosts can be my previous laps or other peoples ghosts that run locally - kinda' like AI, but real peoples laps as ghosts that we can download and run 10 of them at a time.

Can you run AI but I just didn't notice it in the menus?

 

[Maciej Dolinski]

You have trainer option in testing sessions (which is just ghost of your best lap). I think some faster guys posted their ghosts files on krp forum so you can have some challenge.

There is no AI and developer is saying constantly that there are no plans for implementing it.

 

[Rodney Van der Jeught]

i like to hear if u guys want a funrace? to get back together after a long time. i was thinking on a friday?

 

[Maciej Dolinski]

Good idea! After release of beta i made some laps offline but after that i almost completely dropped game.
Some ideas about track and kart (i would like to try new one)?

 

[Rodney Van der Jeught]

maybe the f100?
the track. maybe some sugestions of u guys. what and where to race?

 

[Lars Brugman]

Wackersdorf is a newly released quality track

 

[Rodney Van der Jeught]

oke, i will try i tonight. hopefully ther will be some more drivers. and then we can look voor a date

 

[Maciej Dolinski]

So f100 on Wackersdorf this Friday at 18:00 GMT? (i wont have time for training but its ok as long as its fun race)
There is also question of server hosting.

 

[Rodney Van der Jeught]

how do i host a server?
is it juist "host world" and make a server with that? but i can't let the server keep running while my computer is off

 

[Lars Brugman]

To start a dedicated server, launch kart.exe with the following params:
Code: [Select]
kart.exe -dedicated (port number) [-set params (config_file)]
for example:
Code: [Select]
kart.exe -dedicated 10610 -set params dedicated.ini

Configuration file must be in installation path.
If not set SERVER.INI is used.

Format:
Code: [Select]
[connection]

maxclient =
password =
admin_password =
bandwidth = ; 0 -> low, 1 -> medium, 2 -> high
max_ping =
whitelist = ; the filename of the whitelist
MOTD = ; message of the day. Use "/r" to split the message in multiple lines.

[export]
results = ; html or xml. If set it will automatically export results at the end of the last session
directory = ; the directory where results will be saved ( must exist )
units = ; 0 -> metric units, 1 -> English units

[replay]
save = ; 0 or 1, If set to 1 it will automatically save the full replay at the end of the race
directory = ; the directory where replays will be saved ( must exist )

no_aids = ; 0 or 1
limited_tyre_sets = ; 0 or 1

[race]
quick_race = ; 0 or 1, if set to 1, practice, sighting lap and warmup lap are skipped
practice_length = ; minutes
qualify_length = ; minutes
sighting_lap = ; 0 or 1
race_length = ; % of full length
restart_delay = ; server restart time in seconds

[live]
enable = ; 1 to enable live timing
port = ; the UDP port
password =

It is possible to set up to 9 additional tracks, in the "events" section:
Code: [Select]
track2=
track2_layout=
track3=
track3_layout=
...
...
track10=
track10_layout=
The server will move to the next at each restart and wrap to the first after the last.
The same track and layout can be repeated multiple times in the 10 "slots".

The whitelist is a text file using the following format:
Code: [Select]
[entry0]
guid = ........

[entry1]
guid = ........

[entry2]
guid = ........
The GUID can be read in the "Profiles" menu.

In the dedicated server text input, it is possible to type "restart" to reset the server.


NOTE: a license is not needed to start a dedicated server.

but if i open the KartRacingPro-DedicatedServer (black screen)
there is only this

Session name: dedicatedSession
Max clients: 20
Bandwidth: low
============
Track: amay
Category: Open
Practice: 20 min
Qualify: 20min
Race: 10%
Realistic weather
Waiting



so totaly not the setup i want for the server. en it keeps "waiting"
i don't know how t make it work at all

 

[Maciej Dolinski]

I don't get it.
You created file with this settings and as you start server with this parametrs " -dedicated port -set params file" it won't work?
Also do we really need dedicated server? For only us game "host world" options should be sufficient.

You get this kind of picture?

Is your ini file called Dedicated.txt.ini? Make sure it's dedicated.ini
Maybe Rupe Wilson has any experience with your issues?

 

[Rupe Wilson]

looking now guys, just got back in..Rodney Van der Jeught Lars Brugman

the d/server is working on my second pc, a different pc to which my KRP game sits.. ill go and check the files..
use a admin pasword and you can change it all from within the server using the password..no need to change your file everytime..

this is what I type in my exe
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Kart Racing Pro\kart.exe" -dedicated 10610 -set params dedicated.ini

you have to have the ports open aswell for it to work..
i use http://portforward.com/help/portcheck.htm to check with

Mark Guy you should make sure you used the good e-mail, or is your online working already?

I did Lars. Have not had much time of late but will be back if full force soon,
