Hi Folks,
Hoping you can help...

It appears that my MotecAdd server for rFactor (version 0.4.0.1) is timing out looking for "Local RacerName" and "RacerName / Slot". It finds the game process OK. I started the server as administrator (XP SP3). I'm trying to run the Historics mod for rFactor. In-game I see the red text saying that DX has connected to the server, but the text stays red and nothing is displayed.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated,
Cheers,
Steve.

Hello,
Did you install the last patch 1255?
http://www.rfactor.net/index.php?page=downloads

MotecAdd is EXE dependent, you must use the original "rFactor.exe" 1255. (not the version 1250 or "NO-DVD" exe).

I don't think that the anti-virus is at the origin of the problem because the connection work correctly.
Alek.

Thanks Alek,

Yes 1255. No CD version (ie downloaded with patches). I'm beggining to think the problem is specific tothe historics mod.

cheers,

Steve.

hello

If you have the good EXE, motecadd will find the local driver name without problem.

But if it doesn't find the driver name in the slots it is because you enter a server which authorizes too much drivers simultaneously (for example a server for 100 drivers…), note that motecadd scan only 72 slots, divided with the visitors… (36+36).

The dedicated server rFactor doesn't work like the others (simbin), it doesn't set the index of the slots to zero when the server is empty. Thus if the server is started to receive 100 drivers, the index return to zero when the hundredth+1 drivers enter since server start, but not before…

I suppose that all work well with the others mods or in other dedicated server?

Hi,
Historic mod just installed and tested.
MotecAdd work fine (FX, DX, Dualview).

Hi. I have a freshly installed rFactor + 2 mods (ClioCup + LeMans). I want to run DX, but I've encountered problems. The server starts, the client connects to the server, but it doesn't find a Local RacerName. In-game it says it connected to the server but nothing happens.

I have DX9.0c, I run the server as an Admin, I have copied the d3d9.dll into my rFactor folder, after launching a file called RF1255_MotecAdd_DX_Config.ini is created.

A BUG Report has been created in my rFactor folder:

Help?

hello

The bug-report file contents is common on all installations, it is generated when you launch RF-config.exe because the DLL is loaded too, that is not a problem.
Moreover it is the server which doesn't find the local name, therefore in the event of true problem it is the server which generated a bug-report file.

If the server doesn't find the local name it is because:
- You don't use the version 1255 of RF. Attention if you have installed a new rfactor, don't forget to install the last ISI patch...
- Or: maybe that your anti-virus blocks the server ?

In all the cases, if the rfactor.exe is the original version 1255: the server will find the racer name, and the three LEDs will be green as soon as the track is loaded.

[EDIT]
problem solved by email.

 

[Ivo Simons]

He Alek your planning to add this to the rFactor version?

LiveClassModuleFullList=1
LiveClassModuleFullInfos=1
LiveClassModuleGapInLive=0

Or is it not possible with rFactor.

 

[Sandaman]

Dear all,

I've tried the MotecAdd DX(Trail) for rFactor 1255.
If I run this after installation it works perfectly, but I would like to keep using MapPlugn 1.06 also.
I've read that this should be possible by linking it in the MapPlugin.ini (OriginalD3D9Dll=d3d9_dx.dll)
However now my rFactor will not start anymore, without the Mapplugin it starts easily.
Any ideas on this?

Hello !
If you have a full license ID26 you can use all MotecAdd in full version (Pack1 ID26, ie: for GTR2/Race07 series/rFactor/GTL). The license unlock the full pack.

For your friend: you can donate for him, but don't forget to send HIS Name, email, and hardware_ID file.

Best regards,
Patrick Teil aka Alekhine.
