v0.8d Added config.json option to send one or more custom chat driver welcome messages when a driver connects. New config entry 78. Please update your config.json accordingly.

v0.8c New max_collisions_per_100km setting: you can now prevent drivers with high collision rate from joining the server (set to 0 to disable the feature altogether). You can set the driven distance over which this setting should apply (max_collision_per_100km_min_distance) and if there should be a recharge period (in order to allow players with high collision rates to join the server again after a certain amount of time). Added reserved_slots_boot_players_at_race config.json entry if you wish to prevent the Reserved Slot Feature from kicking drivers during the race (keep in mind that kicking happens from the very bottom of the grid and that if you set this to 0 VIP players will have to wait for a slot to natrually open up or for the end of the race). Added driver search in the Web Stats drivers page (you can search both by name and GUID). Added sorting to all tables and fixed format mismatch for decimal separators. New player_temporary_ban, player_temporary_ban_guid, player_ban_list, player_unban commands to allow you to temporarily block a driver (this is intended for short lived bans and it resets when you restart the plugin). Added option to vote for next track (kmr vote_track chat command). You can choose how many votes are needed to trigger a track change (percent and min). See config.json for more. Set track_rotation_vote_min_percent to 0 to disable the feature altogether. Added config.json entries 72-77. Please update your config.json accordingly.

v0.8b New "on_ac_server_start_run_path" config.json option that allows you to run a program or a shell script when the Assetto Corsa Server starts (you can use it to restart other plugins or perform other tasks when the Assetto Corsa Server rotates the track etc.). Added config entry 71. Update your config.json accordingly.

v0.8a New Kissmyrank Web Admin Console: you can now manage the Kissmyrank plugin and the Assetto Corsa server from the Web Browser via the Kissmyrank Web Admin Console ( http://yourserverip/kissmyrank_admin ). This feature will be disabled unless you set the "web_admin_console_password" config.json entry to a password of at least 12 characters. New admin_send_command: you can now send commands to the Assetto Corsa Server just like if you were typing in the game chat (e.g /ban_id, /ballast etc.). Added config entry 70. Please update your config.json accordingly.

v0.8 New Database Sharing: you can now share the rank, tracks and leaderboard database between different instances of the Kissmyrank plugin that are running on the same machine and/or remotely. If the Kissmyrank instances run locally, you just need to set "database_sharing_unique_name" to a unique name for each plugin and then set "database_sharing_local_group_port" in the config.json to the same value for all the instances that will be sharing the database (no other entries are required as all the other settings are for remote). You can create different local groups by picking a different port for each group (e.g. 4567 for group 1, 4568 for group 2 and so on). If the instances run on a different machine, you need to set "database_sharing_remote_listen_port", "database_sharing_remote_secret_key" and "database_sharing_remote_connect_to_addresses" as described in the config.json documentation. New Track Rotation ini_options. You can now change server_cfg.ini entries when rotating to a certain track (e.g. change server name for each track, set sessions, grip, weather etc.). See the readme for more. New: console command autocompletion, yay, no more typing errors when looking for a command. New "help command_name" console command to get help about a certain command. New: pagination for ranks as the list can get very long. Improved: cut_line_drawer now shows you which commands are left to finalize the cut line sketch. Fixed reserved slots handler kicking players that have a reserved slot to make room for other players with reserved slots (ouch). Other improvements and fixes. tracks.json contains more up to date track info so you might want to update that too (leaderboard was moved in 0.7 to a separate file so if you run this version and you haven't defined new cut lines, you can overwrite tracks.json no problem). New entries in config.json are 63-69. Entry 22 has changed. Please update your config accordingly.

v0.7d Fixed driven distance displaying with the wrong amount of decimal digits in the Web Stats. Added Best Lap to the Web Stats race results. Improved Web Stats results visualization when no valid lap was recorded. Fixed Web Stats showing the wrong pole lap in case of cuts. Added live money check for the new money based lapping/hotlapping penalties (so that wreckers get kicked immediately when they go below the min money value that you set in the config). Improved the calculation of the distance driven by a certain driver.

v0.7c Added backup_list, backup_create and backup_restore commands.

v0.7b Fixed Web Stats driver list not showing total collisions if the collision number is zero. Changed collisions per km to collisions per 100km for better readability.

v0.7a Disabled memory monitor by default (since it requires libc6 2.14+ that is not available in some older versions of Linux) and added entry 62 to config.json to turn the feature on and off.

0.7 New Cut Lines. You can now define cut lines on the track and give penalty to players that cross them (any speed or speed limit). Creating a cut line is easy. All you have to do is just parking your car on the two ends of the line and run Kissmyrank console commands. Each cut line is fully customizable meaning that you can assign a penalty, a max speed in km/h, outlap only, qualify only and race only flags (please check the readme for more). Special cut lines can be defined for pit entry speed limit line (aka pit lane speeding penalty) and pit exit line. You can disable line cutting detection using the "cut_lines_enabled" config.json entry if you don't want to use the feature. New Web Results (it shows a log of the last 30 sessions on the Web Stats page). You can decide how many sessions to keep. New Backup feature to automatically restore the backups in the backup folder. Better detection of corrupt files. New reserved slots feature. If the server is full, the Kissmyrank plugin will attempt to make room for the selected GUIDs (requires the Kissmyrank Multiplayer Launcher Mod v0.1b+). Improved: towing cost now depends on the distance. New: money penalty instead of kick for hotlapping/lapping protection (set the penalty cost to 0 if you wish to use the old kick system in this case). You can set different punishment for quali and race. Improved: reorganized all the commands. Improved: pit origin is now saved to tracks.json (the database will need a while to build up). New total collisions and driven distance are now logged per player and can be seen in the web stats. New commands to reset player stats and times if something goes wrong. Other improvement and fixes. This is a major update which will partly modify the json file structure. Backup your old folder before updating in case you need to recover. Clear your backup folder as the backup system has now changed. Do not overwrite your current tracks.json with the new one right away. Run the new plugin once and type "save" in the console. This will move the leaderboard from tracks.json to leaderboard.json. After that you can exit and overwrite tracks.json with the new one. Update config.json entries from 54 to 61 (these are new and are required to run the new version of the plugin).

v0.6h New Car Towing Cost. On a regular racing day, you're always driving to the pits. If you park the car, someone will have to come and tow it unless your pit crew is near enough to push it. If "car_towing_cost" is set and you go back to pits without driving, you'll have to pay the car towing fee (set "car_towing_cost" to 0 to disable). This feature should allow for better immersion for those who like to have it on their servers. Added configuration for the clean gain reward (previously it was hardcoded, set "race_sponsor_clean_gain_reward" to 0 to disable the feature altogether). Fixed setup wizard not behaving properly on the first answer. Private/public net range checks for the setup wizard if you wish to try to use the plugin remotely over the Internet. Other minor fixes. Changed the order of the default config entries for less confusion on future updates (this is the last time that the order should change, so I recommend to generate the config anew. It will be easier for you to update and maintain it in the future. If you already have a config and you don't want to create a new one, just add the new options 32, 33, 54 at the bottom of your current config.json. Please be sure that you add a comma after the last entry of your current config.json before you add the new lines).

v0.6g Fixed an error with UDP Relay not starting due to recent changes. New track_list, current_track, track_rotate_to, track_get_races, track_set_races, add_track, edit_track, remove_track, save_track_list, edit_config console commands. Added Startup Backup of config.json (since now you can permanently update the config at runtime, you might need a backup if you want to revert some edits).

v0.6f New Startup Port Check (to prevent accidentally running the plugin twice or running the track rotation with an external instance of acServer already running). If config.json is broken you will now receive a note allowing you to fix the config before it's overwritten. Improved handling of the Assetto Corsa Server exit codes.

v0.6e Improved configuration check for directories and files. Better handling of Assetto Corsa Server launch failures. Improved Setup Wizard input validation.

v0.6d Fixed rotation doesn't work as expected when config is specified. Fixed unexpected server termination when track rotation is active. Optimized players connection handler. Added 900ms timeout on auth relay not to delay the join process too much. Other improvement and fixes.

v0.6c New First Launch Setup Wizard to facilitate the first time setup. Other improvements and fixes.

v0.6b Fixed player list not being reset on track rotation.

v0.6a Added track_rotation_max_players (set to 0 if you wish to only rotate the next time that the server is empty, 99 or any number greater than the number of slots to rotate at any time). warned_car_grace is now in expressed in seconds (update your config accordingly). Added session recovery if the new session packet gets lost (for qualify and time based races). Fixed refreshing loop. config.json was updated. Please update your config.

v0.6 New Track rotation (see config for the options and the readme for more). If you use the Track Rotation feature, the Kissmyrank Plugin will launch the server (do not launch the server manually). Join queue and auto-rejoin on track rotation are available via the Kissmyrank Assetto Corsa Multiplayer Launcher Mod. config.json was updated. Added File Backup on start. config.json has changed. Please overwrite the old file and edit the configuration anew.
