ACC Test Server UP !

The pit stops are not yet working with this build so that would explain a lot ! Many posts in the ACC forum describing the same issues we had ..

 

They'd better get a move on in fixing all these things before final release date on May 29th.

 

The team is actually a few builds ahead with internal testing , this current 0.7.2 build was to address mostly net code stuff , allot of the mp stuff going on now involves place holders .. i bet we don't see another update until the 1.0 .. saying that might also mean a new build comes out tomorrow lol

 

I did have plans to race only just got home.

 

It's an open testing format, P1 will start at 19:00 race at 20:00 Im heading there now !

 

I noticed some strange stuff as well , it seemed like Rodgers car also was squirrely when I was behind him , he also was in the Ferrari he spun off the curbs in 1st chicane like you did .. it was a fun test anyway ..I guess not much point in the testing now with the new build 1.0 in 2 days ! next week we test with v1.0 !

 

Some good info regarding 1.0

Server defined entry lists

For league and server admins: 1.0 servers now support entry lists, which seamlessly transform public pickup servers to the equivalent of AC1 booking servers.
You can add user SteamIds to this list, which opens a few special options. For example, you can
- Override the name
- Override race number
- Override the PRO/AM/SILVER car category
- Override the style the appearance* of the driver, helmet, suite
- Define teams (see 5) )
- Force a car model; users still define the appearance, but can only join in the defined car model
- Override the car model + appearance* : regardless with what car the user joins, the server wins
- Elevate drivers to admins automatically

*appearance is not yet a supported feature

Everything in this list is completely optional and can be turned on/off for each entry.
Additionally, entry list entries bypass rating requirements and client limits (unless there is no physical pit slot available). That way, server admins can always join their servers; or small league-like groups could run their races on public MP with insane SA requirements, and be happy about drivers with e.g. 99 SA can join them.
We will provide a quick overview in the server admin thread, and prepare a sensible documention during as soon(tm) as possible.

Then this one:
6) (Multiplayer) driver swaps



Given more teams configured in the entry list, the first driver to join the server will obtain control over the team car. When team mates join, they will be spectators instead; and the active driver will be updated about the connection status of his teammates. Using the Pitstop MFD, he now can assign the next driver just like in Singleplayer races - the swap will automatically happen during the next pitstop.

Server admins, please pay attention to the "spectatorSlots" - having driver swaps may easily double the amount of connections needed during the pitstop phases.


7) Spectator mode

Wait, did you say "Spectator"? Yes, server admins now can setup both the amount of available spectator slots and a spectator password. Joining a server via the (old) server list using the correct password will join you as Spectator without car. You will be able to broadcast, chat or even use race director commands (see 7).

Attention: Driver swap connections are not supposed to use the spectator mode password; they should try to join "regularily".


Ok 24hrs to go for 1.0

 

Test server is up with V1.0.0 !
This Mondays Track is Spa !!

I would like to turn the ranking on ,as it is now its off so anyone can join , I would like to set it for all of us with low rankings to be able to get on and rank up however the lower you set them the less grid spots the server allows . this is to stop low ranked servers from filling up and having T1 pile ups = ranks dropping ..
if anyone know a good formula for the settings :
this is default all off -1
"trackMedalsRequirement": -1,
"safetyRatingRequirement": -1,
"racecraftRatingRequirement": -1,

So if you see anything on the forums let me know !

 

Ok I have adjusted the ranking as follows (for all us newbs with lo rank)
"trackMedalsRequirement": 0, this is incase anyone has not turned enough laps at Spa to get the 1st track medal.
"safetyRatingRequirement": 15, this should be low enough for all of us to join ..
"racecraftRatingRequirement": 10, again should be low enough ..
If anyone cannot join let me know & I will turn them down ..
These settings give us 13 grid spots , as we bump them up more player slots open ..

 

I have joined the ACC public_beta and now have the updated the server to 1.0.1 with the hot fix to stop the random CTD . We were told its totally compatible with 1.0.0 so you should be able to join with no issues if your on 1.0.0 ..
(hot fix will officially launch Monday if all goes well) Please report if you have any issues !

 

PW is off today , testing if it is seen in "quick race" search the server & join .. I was just on with 5 drivers

 

If the official 1.0.5 does not get released by race time you must join the steam acc beta branch to get the 1.0.5 update .. you need it ! *( we are on 1.0.5 now)
