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

Format:
[connection]

maxclient =
password =
admin_password =
bandwidth = ; 0 -> very low, 1 -> low, 2 -> medium, 3 -> high, 4 -> very high

location = ; information about server location
MOTD = ; message of the day. Use "/r" to split the message in multiple lines.

[export]

no_aids = ; 0 or 1
limited_tyre_sets = ; 0 or 1
fixed_setup = ; 0 or 1
fixed_setup_file = ; the name ( without the extension ) of the fixed setup file. It must exist for all allowed karts, otherwise the default setup is used
fixed_setup_dir = ; the directory where to load the fixed setups. For example: C:\Users\"your user name"\Documents\PiBoSo\Kart Racing Pro\profiles\"your profile"\setups
no_tucking = ; 0 or 1

[race]
testing_day = ; 0 or 1, if set to 1, the following race settings are unused
quick_race = ; 0 or 1, if set to 1, practice, sighting lap and warmup lap are skipped
practice_length = ; minutes
qualify_length = ; minutes
warmup_length = ; minutes
warmup_lap = ; 0 or 1
start = ; 0 -> default, 1 -> force the standing start, 2 -> force the rolling start
race_length = ; % of full length
race_use_laps = ; 0 or 1. If set to 1, race_laps is used instead of race_length
race_laps = ; number of race laps
restart_delay = ; server restart time in seconds. The default is 300, 5 minutes. If set at zero, there is no restart
pause = ; 0 or 1. If set to 1, the event is paused and saved at the end of "pause_session"
pause_session = ; practice, qualify, prefinal or final
pause_directory = ; the directory where data is saved. The default is "resume"
resume = ; the file to load to resume an event
save = ; 0 or 1. If set to 1, the event is saved at the end of "save_session". If "pause" is set, this setting is ignored
save_session = ; practice, qualify, prefinal or final
save_directory = ; the directory where data is saved. The default is "resume"

[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
port = ; the UDP port ( only used with "enable = 1" )
password = ;  ( only used with "enable = 1" )
file = ; the name of the file to write  ( only used with "enable = 2" )
track_position = ; 0 or 1. If set to 1, the track centerline and the position of all bikes are written, too ( only used with "enable = 2" )
contacts = ; 1 -> contacts between kartss are written, 2 -> contacts with walls are written, too ( only used with "enable = 2" )

[remote_admin]
enable = ; 1 to enable remote admin ( more info: http://forum.kartracing-pro.com/index.php?topic=7736.0 )
port = ; the UDP port
password =

[dynamicsurface]
disable = ; 0 or 1. If set to 1, the dynamic track surface is disabled
persistent = ; 0 or 1. If set to 1, the dynamic track surface is not reset between events

[polls]
disable_during_races = ; 0 or 1. It set to 1, polls are disabled during races

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:
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:
[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.
[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?

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?

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.
Example:

practice_length = 30
qualify_length = 20
race_length = 20

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

directory = ; the directory where results will be saved ( must exist )
units = 0 ; 0 -> metric units, 1 -> English units

[replay]
save = 1; 0 or 1, If set to 1 it will automatically save the full replay at the end of the race
directory = C:\Program Files (x86)\Kart Racing Pro\replays; the directory where replays will be saved ( must exist )

[event]
track = ; track ID ( for ex. rye )
category = KC1; kart category allowed. Empty -> Open; KC1, KC3, KS1

[weather]
realistic = 0; 0 or 1, if set to 1, following params are ignored
conditions = 0; 0 -> sunny, 1 -> cloudy, 2 -> rainy
temperature = 24; air temperature, celsius
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?  :-\

Try changing it to quick_race = 0

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

There is a typo, this should be:

qualify_length = 10
sighting_lap = 0
warmup_lap = 0

I want the same, at least for the KS1 races ;)

By the way, where are the new asphalt grip options?
