it's working fine here, at least with normal tracks.

Funktioniert es bei dir bei normalen/offiziellen strecken?

Is there any way to adjust the MAX_CLIENTS automatically when you change to a track with less pitboxes? When I do this, that warning appears before someone chooses the car to enter the server ("This server's available slots exceed the number of pitboxes for <track>"), the clients (" 0 / 24 ") appear yellow, and no one can enter the server. It just kicks everyone without warning, but in AC Track Cycle it still appears that they are in the server, when they aren't.

Yes that's correct, it's for cycling through complete server configs.
Inside of the cfg folder that contains the default server_cfg.ini you need to create some subfolders. Place a server_cfg.ini and/or entry_list.ini in those subfolders.
Then specify the names of the folders in the exe.config
for example
<add key="template_cycle" value="GT3;GT2;STREET_MIX"/>

(you can't use the [TRACK_CYCLE]
TRACKS=spa,5;ks_nordschleife,endurance,2;mugello,6;nurburgring,6;silverstone,6;imola,6
together with template_cycle, so either put the template_cycle folder names in exe.config or the TRACKS= list in server_cfg.ini)

Excellent system to change cars and tracks without always having the hands in the server !

I had to think clearly to prepare the files for the 1st time ... but after a 1st successful test it's launched with 5 car/track combos and normally ... perfectly working

I hope so anyway ...as I'm busy and absent this evening.

Thanks Thomas for your work and support when needed.

EDIT: I still have a question about this system: is it necessary to setup one or all Loopmode=1 or rather Loopmode=0 if we wish to make this all track cycle loop itself ?
Maybe I missed something reading the config file ...?

This one maybe:

<add key="change_track_after_every_loop" value="0"/>

This one maybe:

this setting
<add key="change_track_after_every_loop" value="0"/>
was implemented because not everyone is having a race session.

default, value = "0" only cycles after a race session is ended
value = "1" cycles after the sessions in the server_cfg.ini are completed, even if it's only a practice session

Jempy · May 22, 2016

Thanks for the precision, Thomas.

Your more developed explanation here tells better the use of this setting.

Hi Guys

Just wondering if anyone can help?

I've got trackcycle setup with stracker, but I'm getting issues when the track changes.

Checked my server_cfg.ini and there's only one set of UDP local port and plugin address details (11000 and 127.0.0.1:12000)

The AC_TrackCycle.exe.config has the following lines:


<add key="external_plugins" value="sTracker, 11001, 127.0.0.1:12001"/>

In the stracker.ini I have the following lines:

; udp port the plugins receives from. -1 means to use the AC servers setting UDP_PLUGIN_ADDRESS
rcvPort = 12001
; udp port the plugins sends to. -1 means to use the AC servers setting UDP_PLUGIN_LOCAL_PORT
sendPort = 11001

However when the server is running it seems ok during the sessions however when it goes to change track it just displays the following error constantly and the server becomes unavailable:

08:47:42.693977 UDP_PLUGIN: Realtime pos interval now set to: 1000 ms

Within the next 30-45 seconds that error is repeated every second and the server becomes unavailable within Assetto Corsa.

When I start the server up, I start it within AC_TrackCycle and then start sTracker.

Thanks for any help!

Hi Jarqus

Isn't that just a sort of comment line with an example of the format? I have this line below that with no "<!--"

<add key="external_plugins" value="sTracker, 11001, 127.0.0.1:12001"/>

If I remove what you mentioned, I get an error running the .exe

Hi Roostlick,

your settings look fine.
I just tried it with those and it seems to works fine when I manually change track via trackcycle gui, neither trackcycle nor stracker throw exceptions. Does it only happen when the race is ended and the track cycles automatically?

Are you running with different tracks only, or do you change the complete cfg folder?

Does changing the track work fine when you don't enable external_plugins in AC_TrackCycle.exe.config?

Atm have no idea what the problem could be, I personally don't use stracker (it's a great tool though), but in the stracker config it says:
"Note: whenever the server is restarted, it is required to restart stracker as well"
so trackcycle and stracker are probably not a good combination anyway.

You could ask here if some has it running successfully together http://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/index.php?threads/ac_trackcycle.20242/

or Jarqus, can you confirm it's working for you?

Jarqus · Jun 22, 2016

I have had stracker and Trackcycle and MR working together, Though I havent had a server running for ages now. May I ask what version of Stracker you are using?

could you send through your stracker and trackcycle and server cfg ini files.

Roostlick · Jun 22, 2016

Latest version of stracker that came out the other day.

I think I've 99% fixed it. Noticed in my server_cfg.ini file that Loop Mode was set to =0. So I think what may of been happening was the session was ending and with loop mode in the server config being set to 0, that was stopping the server before trackcycle could cycle the server.

So that would explain why I couldn't see the server, and why I'd also started getting trackcycle has stopped working when I clicked on the app to change to Next Track.

However bizarrely after having the server running all last night and all day today no problems at all, I got home from work, logged into it via RDP (it's hosted by AWS) and within 10 mins ac_trackcycle crashed. Here's the entry from event viewer:

Application: AC_TrackCycle.exe
Framework Version: v4.0.30319
Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.

at System.Threading.ThreadPoolWorkQueue.Dispatch()

I've started it backup (and restarted stracker) and it is backup and i've manually been able to change track via the app and it didn't crash. So not sure exactly why it crashed earlier.

ThomasGocke updated AC_TrackCycle with a new update entry:

AC_TrackCycle

- option to start additional executables, they are also restarted when the server is restarted due to track change, this helps with plugins that can't handle server restarts/track changes

Read the rest of this update entry...

Hi,

I was looking for an app capable of displaying the live laptimes set during a session in the top of the screen while you're on track (both from you and other players), it was a really interesting feature removed from the Assetto Corsa core game (I don't know why).

Can this app do that?

Thanks.

ThomasGocke · Jul 10, 2016

At the moment AC_TrackCycle only shows the fastest lap during the session and then the fastest lap per driver at the end of the session.
There is the official "realtime" live app in AC that shows you every lap of every driver during the session, even with color (pink=overall fastest...)

Anyway I'll take a look and probably add this as option in the next version.
