Dedicated server

[PiBoSo]

To start a dedicated server, launch kart.exe with the following params:

Code Select Expand

kart.exe -dedicated (port number) [-set params (config_file)]
for example:

Code Select Expand

kart.exe -dedicated 54410 -set params dedicated.ini


NOTE: if a client runs on the same PC, port 54410 cannot be used.


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

[live]
enable = ; 1 or 2 to enable live timing. If set to 1, data is sent through UDP packets ( more info: http://forum.kartracing-pro.com/index.php?topic=2134.0 ). If set to 2, data is written to a local file

NOTE: To minimize join lag, please make sure to restrict the allowed kart categories as much as possible

It is possible to set up to 9 additional tracks, in the "events" section:

Code Select Expand

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 and blacklist use a text file using the following format:

Code Select Expand

[entry0]
guid = ........

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

[entry2]
steamid = ........
The GUID can be read in the "Profiles" page.
Optionally, it is possible to replace "guid" with "steamid", to use the Steam ID number instead.
Whitelist only: it is possible to set, for each entry, the race number, the name, a prefix to the name ( for example a team "tag" ) and the kart.
Also, it is possible to set a custom string, up to 18 character long, that is added to the XML results export.

Code Select Expand

[entry0]
guid = ........
race_number = ...
name = ...
name_prefix = ...
kart_id = ...
extra = ........

In the dedicated server text input, it is possible to type text that will be sent to the connected clients. It can be a personal message: http://forum.kartracing-pro.com/index.php?topic=7939.msg52700#msg52700
It is also possible to send commands: http://forum.kartracing-pro.com/index.php?topic=7939.msg52703#msg52703
Additional commands:
- "!restart" to reset the server
- "!whitelist update" to reload the whitelist file
- "!blacklist update" to reload the blacklist file
- "!admin" followed by client's name ( or #race number) to promote a client to admin
Text can be sent to the dedicated server from remote, too: http://forum.kartracing-pro.com/index.php?topic=7736.0


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

How do you launch it with different params?

[OS-Chris]

How do you launch it with different params?

create a new shortcut (copy & paste the existing game shortcut), right-click -> properties, rename it (i.e. KartRacingPro-DedicatedServer) and add the parameters to the "target" field

[Zapata]

One question, I create a server.ini?
When I create the i.e. KartRacingPro-DedicatedServer where I put the parameters?

[Tomy]

Hi all, my name is Tomy. I'm www.rFactorNews.com administrator, one of the greatest comunities of simracing in Spain.

First of all like to congratulate the author of this game because after buy and test it thoroughly during the day I found one of the best simulators currently on the market, but I will try to present here some questions on how to create an online server, because it has been a little complicated for me.

As I've read...

1º) I have opened ports on my router:



2º) I've created a alternative shortcut on desktop like this:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Kart Racing Pro\kart.exe" -dedicated 10600 -set params dedicated.ini



3º) I've created a dedicated.ini in the Kart Racing Pro default folder like this one:



4º) To finish, launch this shortcut that I call "Kart Racing Pro [Server]" and the Dedicated Server it's seems that's online now (the dedicated.ini it's in this path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Kart Racing Pro):



But my colleagues who also purchased the game can't see the server, what am I doing wrong?

Please try setting race parameters.

Now it works on another machine (dedicated server PC) with this settings in dedicated.ini file:

wind_direction = 0; 0 -> north, 1 -> north-east, 2 -> east, ..., 7 -> north-west
wind_speed = 1; meters/second

[hardcore]
force_cockpit = 1; 0 or 1
no_aids = 1; 0 or 1

[race]
quick_race = 1; 0 or 1, if set to 1, practice, sighting lap and warmup lap are skipped
practice_length = 30; minutes
qualify_length = 10; minutes
sighting_lap = 0; 0 or 1
warmup_lap = 0; 0 or 1
race_length = 20; % of full length





Thanks a lot!

Today, suddenly and without doing anything before the server goes down and closes when I accept the error.

The server is giving me these errors all time (about 20 minutes of running), what could it be?

but in the server i have 20 minutes of qualifing! 
i want only 10 min of qual

[mopar93]

quick_race = 1; 0 or 1, if set to 1, practice, sighting lap and warmup lap are skipped

Try changing it to quick_race = 0

I don't think it works right if it's set to 1.

this is my dedicated.ini

There is a typo, this should be:

Code Select Expand


[race]
quick_race = 1
practice_length = 10
qualify_length = 10
sighting_lap = 0
warmup_lap = 0
race_length = 15

thanks Piboso, now work

i tried to start a server i have created the shortcut with parameters, the ini file in KRP folder, ports are open.
But when click on this  shortcut server starts but the parameters that i have set are not there all is wrong, and when i run the game and click on world it says: connection lost.
