DeMONS/3 v1.00 is Now Available

I've removed allof the code that supports older versions of the sim, fixed a few small problems in D3Scrub and D3League, and I *think* I improved the favored host stuff where it relates to shutting down other running hosts. If you're running a *dedicated* NR2K3 server, there's also stuff in the reference guide (see "Issues") about how to re-clain a significant portion of disk space by deleting files that you don't need when running a dedicated server.

You don't have it bookmarked? :) http://www.paddedwall.org/demons3

This sounds so cool, I downloaded it, and I don't even know what the hell it is or does :) -Larry "John Simmons" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > In article <[email hidden]>, > [email hidden] says... > > In article <[email hidden]>, JohnSimmons

It lets you setup all of your server parameters without having to manually edit any INI files or create unwieldy batch files. It also allows you to run simultaneous hosts (it's term for NR2k3 servers) on the same computer. Each host requires that you setup a schedule of races. Best of all, it's absolutely free to download and use.

Cool! Thanks :) -Larry "John Simmons" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > In article <DKRjb.89421$a16.84165@lakeread01>, [email hidden] says... > > This sounds so cool, I downloaded it, and I don't even know what thehell it

BTW, Ed uses the D3League component to re-format the results files to match the RASCAR website's basic color scheme and font choice.

Hey John, I kind of lost track of DeMONS due to not having a usage requirement but I'm in a situation now that it would work perfectly. Have you had any feedback about problems using it with Windows 2003? -- Michael Horton http://www.cta-racing.com "John Simmons" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > I've removed allof the code that supports older versions of the sim, > fixed a few small problems in D3Scrub and D3League, and I *think* I > improved the favored host stuff where it relates to shutting down > other running hosts. > > If you're running a *dedicated* NR2K3 server, there's also stuff in > the reference guide (see "Issues") about how to re-clain a > significant portion of disk space by deleting files that you don't > need when running a dedicated server. >

says... Nope.There's no reason it shuldn't work since none of the Windows files are involved.

Didn't think so either but thought I'd better check as I don't own the server.

John, quick question that I didn't see an answer for in the reference stuff on the site. What does DeMONS do if N2003 hasn't been installed off the CD? Or, possibly, does it not like to work via remote desktop? The problem I had on the server when I tried to use it was that as soon as I hit Start in D3Launcher the launcher shut down. As far as I know N2003 was installed off the CD but I can't verify through the registry at the moment as the server is being used. -- Michael Horton http://www.cta-racing.com "Michael Horton" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:zjzkb.5789$i92.4940@clgrps13... > Didn't think so either but thought I'd better check as I don't own the > server. > > Thanks John. > -- > Michael Horton > http://www.cta-racing.com

The sim has to be installed from the CD. If the sim wasn't installed from the CD, all of the D3 components will refuse to run. D3Launcher will not run unless at least one host has been created in D3Config, and at least one race has been scheduled in that host. If by "remote desktop", you mean through VNC or PC-Anywhere types of programs, yes, it should work fine that way.

Hey John Thanks for the reply. I just got on the server and checked the registry. By the entries in there I'm assuming it was installed off a CD. For whatever reason, this morning when I went back in and tried it worked fine so it must've been one of those MS OS deciding to be a b*tch deals <g>. Ahhh the joys of trying to work on a server hundreds of miles away. By remote desktop I meant the one that's built into XP and Server 2003 (the improved version of W2K's terminal services). In any case, thank you, sir, for your help. -- Michael Horton http://www.cta-racing.com "John Simmons" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > The sim has to be installed from the CD. > > If the sim wasn't installed from the CD, all of the D3 components > will refuse to run. > > D3Launcher will not run unless at least one host has been created in > D3Config, and at least one race has been scheduled in that host. > > If by "remote desktop", you mean through VNC or PC-Anywhere types of > programs, yes, it should work fine that way.
