Server Hosting..

[BOBR6 84]

few questions..

I read through the unofficial guide about hosting, the simple in-game hosting option..

it mentions host local.. does the same apply for host world?

so i still have to play around with firewalls etc for players to join with host world?

also.. do i set bandwidth to high? and what is rating class?

any advice is appreciated, thanks

Hi Bob.

it mentions host local.. does the same apply for host world?

Never seen it in one of the dedicated files,  i have no clue.

so i still have to play around with firewalls etc for players to join with host world?

Yes open the ports for GPBikes

also.. do i set bandwidth to high? and what is rating class?

Yes bandwidth on high (2)

I assume you have looked in this topic, but just in case...

Thank you Peter!

so the in-game ''host world'' wont let people join as it is? i clicked on it yesterday and set a server up, did a few laps and my lap time went to the leader board!?

obviously if i leave the server it shuts down.. but that's all i want for now.. to host a race and then close it down afterwards.

i would like to set up a permanent or dedicated server at some stage so thanks for the link!! il give it a try..

If you use in-game host world people should be able to join.

As for what is rating class? I think its something you can use so that only certain riders with a specific rating can join.
Would eliminate the problem, (if its a problem) of slower riders joining with faster ones, based on there rating.

I updated the dedicated.ini example with the latests stuff i know about.

PS
If you need a server i can launch one for you, thx to Dibu.

That's great! thank you.

if you don't mind launching a server that would be awesome too! i was supposed to open a hardcore server last night and do a race or two.. but didn't get home until around 3am lol 

was thinking about doing Albacete or Brno but il leave it all up to Warlock to decide! 

has to be onboard only, hardcore! 

thanks peter.. and Dibu!

[PeterV]

which class, track, laps, dry/rain, limited tires, all aids off ?

what would you like for setting?

PS
I launched one with cockpit only and the following two tracks, Albacete and Brno, finish the race to get to the next track.
check settings and let me know if you want it altered.

It's great to have at least one dedicated "Hardcore" server... At least now whenever guys want to have a go or practice hardcore riding they can and have a server to do so online.

Thanks to Bob, Peter, Dibu, and Warlock for making this so... it's a welcome addition. 

Nice job guys!

That's spot on! nice one peter 

if its set to all aids off does that mean you have to use manual lean? or does it just affect the TC, brake help etc?

i agree Hawk! nice to have a HC server  hopefully people give it a try!

[BOBR6 84]

could this be made moto2 only? its fantastic onboard 

just a suggestion.. happy with ''open'' if that's what people want?

[Warlock]

Thanks m8, was there yesterday with Nuovaic, had goon fun 

Only problem is only 10 minute practice, would be nice 1 hour. You can always vote to go ahead to qualy or race

[PeterV]

say what you want it to be...

Ill set practice to 1 hour for now.
