Is it possible to change the number of laps, on a dedicated server, for the various modes? I have tried the racelength utility, which works fine for single player, but have had no success finding any information on this for a dedicated server. My goal is to host realistic damage models, but with shorter races than Pro Short. Thanks for any help, Sammie

The only race length info is the full Grand Prix length, everything else is calculated by gpl to be some fraction of that. If you want to make a 'short' race shorter, decrease the length of the full GP race until you get the number of laps you want when you choose a short race. If you want realistic damage, just set the full GP race length to the number of laps you want & choose a Full GP race. Malc.

Thanks for the reply Malc. I am running the server off of VROC already, and in dedicated server mode, VROC does not give an option to adjust the race length. Which file would I adjust to change the laps? I tried using the season .ini files, but it did not affect the race length. Thanks, Sammie

I got it to work by editing both season.ini files. Thanks again.

The other file deals with an offline championship season, IIRC.
