Did you do the UDP plugin parameters?

No, is this the new server UDP plugin thing I've heard of? Not looked into it, what does it do?
Thanks Joe and Gratulin, done.

Not sure where  to post this, but would it be possible to create an AC app that would display the list of drivers on server, let you easily add ballast (eg. using + and -  buttons next to each driver)  then dump that into chat so it could be applied?

I guess you could also. Have an auto calculate option based on heaviest ballast that then applies the numbers to all drivers differently down the list?

This app allows you to see the drivers in the entry list and set the ballast, but you then have the reset the server to apply the changes.

Tyre selection getting there. I decided to display the available tyres differently to the Kunos app which doubles up tyre codes in the checklist. The web app will just show the code once, then show the different descriptions used by that code, and which cars use that description.

Yup go for it, that's just the branch I'm pushing stuff to as I'm working on stuff so it could have incomplete stuff or bugs. It has the settings from 1.2 except for tyres and weather. Tyres is nearly finished then i'll push it there too.

Tyre limitations now finished and also added weather options!

Need to add some additional validation to ensure each car has at least one valid tyre selection but that was a bit more work than my brain was prepared to do at the time.

Coming next, presets!

Good stuff. Have you been pushing this on the AC forums too?

Not yet, I wanted to make sure it was stable first but seems have been working fine on Thursday race servers. I may put it on there later as would be good to get wider feedback.

Since 1.2 I have been using the Kunos tool for Thursdays. With this latest version I'll give this a go now. Having the web interface makes changes very easy.

Joe,

I just tried it out and found that the folder layout has changed for the server package created by the new Kunos acServerManager - basically the content folder is at the same level as the server folder. It worked if I copied the content folder into the server folder but it would be good to have the same layout so both tools can be used interchangeably. Also, there is a new mkanager folder which contains ks_tyres.ini and can also contain mod_tyres.ini.

thanks.

Hey Gratulin

The content folder at the same level as the server folder is the main content folder with everything in it. I still have a content folder in the server folder which just has the items needed for the manager. What exactly is the issue you are facing? I haven't used the new windows tool so unsure what's changed.

I know about the ks_tyres and mod_tyres as that's what the web app is reading to show the available tyres, are you having an issue with this too?

Cheers
Joe

Ah I see what you're talking about now with the generate package stuff. Looks like it does what my batch file is doing with a few extra things.

Easiest option is probably to put the content folder path as a setting in the settings file, then people can go either way.

Cheers

Made a few changes to the web manager this arvo:

Bug fix when switching between two tracks with multiple track configs
Added Max Ballast and UDP Plugin fields to Advanced page
Added new setting for contentPath allowing server and content folders to be separated (this happens when using a manager package from the kunos tool). If this setting it left empty it will assume the content folder is inside the server folder
