Race Director is a subset of our still under-development program intended to give admins a whole host of additional functionality to their servers. The idea of this subset came from a request for a program that would control the track condition and pit lane condition. There are buttons visible to every racer detailing if the pit lane is open or not, and if the track is green, yellow, red, or about to restart after a yellow. A racer will incur a penalty if they enter and exit the pit lane while it is closed. Subsequently, if said driver enters the pit lane while it is open, but leaves when it's closed, said driver will not incur a penalty.
All chat, RCM, button text, and penalty text are configurable. There are comments in the config.ini file explaining what each option does. The penalties for exiting the pit lane while closed is configurable in game while the program is running. You access the Race Director menu by combining the prefix and admin command (configurable to your desire) from the config.ini file. There you can change the penalty, change the track condition, and open and close the pit lane.
Please leave any comments and/or suggestions. They're always helpful to fix/add things that were not thought of.
NOTE: for use with a dedicated server only.
