ELDRED, rasf1 server problem

it seems like when around 10 people are in your server, the rest of us cant connect. We just sit in the rasf1 room waiting but nothing happens when we click connect. it happens every time.

I had the same problem, but I suspect it's because the qual session had started and locked us out... even though F1RST still showed it was in practice session. Eldred, let us know if you had a closed qual session and approx how long it lasted before the race started. Thanks.

Yes, I had a closed qual session. I *know* the server will accept more than 10 drivers, because I've had 15-16 before. I think we had about 13 last night. Maybe F1RST still shows practice because it's expecting the standard 60 minute practice session. If I end practice early(as I usually do), maybe there's no notification sent back to F1RST? How do you get the standard practice session to be 20 minutes or so? I haven't found the right .ini file yet, I guess...

I think you set that in your .plr file, but you can also set in the session options in the menu.

I see where you can set the race length, but not the practice length.

I just jumped into this thread, so I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for.... but here goes..... In the player.ini for the player that you are using as dedicated server host..... [Dedicated Server] PracticeTime=90 ; number of minutes of practice Hope this helps. :) -Paul Eigsti -League & Server admin Western States Racing League www.wsrlracing.com My e-mail address is false.

Thanks. I take it I have to add those lines, because they aren't there now. Dammit, why the <expletive> isn't this explained in the manual, readme.txt, whatever?!? Geez, some software... :-( How did YOU find that? I've been looking through files for days... Any other tidbits you care to share(like how to get rid of the stupid server car...)?

Phooey - it still gave 60 minutes, even though I told it 20... Eldred -- Help find missing child: Tatianna Ashley Chillcutt from Michigan(info on my homepage) Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett Remove SPAM-OFF to reply.

Huh? There should be a "[Dedicated Server]" section in your player ini file. I never added the lines (there are many in that section), as they were in the ini by default. Are you sure that you are looking at the 'player.ini' file, which is located in the Nascar2003/players/"my player name"/ folder? -Paul Eigsti -League & Server admin Western States Racing League www.wsrlracing.com My e-mail address is false.
