Dedicated Server to be expected for GTR?

I've been snooping around in the GTR files and there are +dedicated and +connect command line arguments for the GTRDemo.exe. When you start it with the GTRDemo +dedicated argument you get the dedicated server config dialog. Unfortunatly it crashes right when you're about to start the server. With F1C, hosting a server was a PITA, and this would be a welcomed addition. And this proves, if they are using the F1C engine, that they have made changes to the existing netcode. So we might (hopefuly) see something decent for multiplayer. If any of you figure out how to start the server without it crashing, be sure to let us know. :) -- jb\

Same here, it does crash Eric "Josh Boudreau" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > I've been snooping around in the GTR files and there are +dedicated and > +connect command line arguments for the GTRDemo.exe.

I would guess the server module was not included in the demo. I'd be interested if anyone got Spa to start at night. The headlights work now day or night, but so far, my editing the gdb files have not produced a dark track. The design specs called for dedicated server with a 30 car field. I would assume that is an offshoot of the NT 2k4 multiplayer.

the Spa night track option was not included in the demo, as was told to me by one of chaps at SBDT.. On Mon, 03 May 2004 14:54:43 -0500, Dave Henrie <[email hidden]> wrote:

nope that won't work either..... it simply hasn't been implemented in the demo..
