In SRV, CheckIdling=false

Is there a way to disable all real-time car tracking for timing, collisions etc?

There are too many things depending on real time cars processing, so disabling it is not possible. However, I believe admins/users have all the options to disable all the individual checks and messages that are a result of this processing.

Quote from EQ Worry :

As the official 0.6B patch is available, I updated the library files that Airio is using and called this a version 2.5.4. But it is just library updates, the program files are still the same as in 2.5.3 and even !ver will show this old version, but new library version. It is just a quick fix that was necessary, because older libraries will NOT work properly on new host versions, 0.6B and newer, Airio will keep disconnecting. To solve the problem, the Aegio InSim library needs to be updated, using the files linked in my signature.

EQ I updated the libraries with the ones you posted in this post: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=1603112#post1603112

are the libraries in 2.5.4 different from those?

Thank you, it would have been good.

Check that you have the correct SRV.txt files, I just downloaded the free 2.5.4 and it is not the same as yours above....notably:-
# Remove idling cars in race - boolean
# Time in seconds after which player is seen as idling - integer
# Player is warned of idling on (IdlingTime - 10) and (IdlingTime - 5).
CheckIdling=true

Edit- In any case I imagine if you just insert "CheckIdling=False" into your SRV.txt file it will work...or even just type !cfg CheckIdling=false whilst logged as admin and it will work.

thanx for that server is with 500 servers on control panel was listed as version 2.54 but ingame was 2.53 so i downloaded 2.54 and copied the srv file from 2.54 into were 2.53 srv file was and now its all good also did the other suggestion as admin and that worked aswell

The SRV file above must be very old (about two or more years, I'd say). It misses many items and I would also think it has items that were long ago moved elsewhere (CFG or TCD). Maybe you also have a FIL (filters) file in your Airio installation? If so, you need a serious config files update, because FIL is not used anymore.

It is probable I will release version 2.5.5 tonight, so far only the FULL and PROS version. You may check Airio log to see there are both minor and major updates included. Then 2.5.5 FREE will be released and I will send it all to Franky of 500servers to have it as the basic Airio version, with all the current config files for new installations.

It would really help if there was a midrace joining block, based on a predefined safety rate limitation.

Hmm, I have a feeling something like this can already be done, but I may be mistaken. Also the joining checks and various combinations make the whole matter real messy, but I'll try to take a look at this today, unless I'm flooded with Airio 2.5.5. bug reports.

Quote from cargame.nl :

Is it possible to take ProhibitedCars into consideration as well? ... So I reintroduced the old Airio Prohibited error, which, is a bit annoying for most.

I see. Is there a known error in the prohibited cars check, or do you simply use that word to describe the fact that people are unexpectedly specced for prohibited cars? I would think including prohibited cars in the !mycars check will not be too complicated. However, if the cars are also disabled for individual people or everyone, they need to be somehow restored later...

EQ I updated the libraries with the ones you posted in this post: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=1603112#post1603112

If you click properties on the file then it shows you the date the file was created...so yes it is different.

Yes, the libraries can be slightly different, and there is still more updated and tuned library in version 2.5.5 (only FULL and PROS released now).

The first one provided was just a quick patch. I included an improved library in Airio numbered 2.5.4, and I added all new LFS features into the library for Airio 2.5.5.

Overall, if you have Airio 2.5.4 and lower and everything works, there's no need to update the Aegio library. On the other hand with Airio 2.5.5 you should always use the provided latest library files.

Sorry my english but i need help with airio.
This its my config https://docs.google.com/docume ... thkey=CILYw5wL&pli=1# and its a free version.
My trouble its....i dont reset to 0 any time for any car for any tracks, he says "Insufficient Rights".
Anybody can help me please!!!

Two options:

1) Set EnableStats=4 in the CFG file, then !rld.

2) Make yourself Limad5=d_cury, also in CFG, then !rld and reconnect.

After that all stats manipulation commands should work.

in the free version its the same?

Hmmm, good point, I guess only option 1) can be used in the FREE version...

Voting for open tracks is something I plan to look into when I'm reasonably sure all the other code for custom tracks handling works OK, so I guess for now voting could do strange things.

But the safety rating not working on open/custom tracks is much more serious problem, I'll try to take a look at it today and see where the bug was introduced. Does it give an error or the test is simply passed for everyone?

..

I see, yes, that is exactly the kind of troubles I would expect. The open tracks / custom layouts are very new, just as limiting available car types. While I checked the basic functionality, in real application various conditions raise that reveal holes that need to be covered. Any chance you could send me the log parts around those two events (unlimited joining, and no cars available)? That could help me a lot. I also had a report of normal layouts not being saved into Airio stats, so that's another matter I need to look at.

Hello, EQ Worry! I've found small bug.(see attachment) Top lap times and others are faster than WR lap time. That should be just because of older WR times, that have been deleted, but it still affects?

Hi, it seems the admins purposefully specified 42.10, 42.00 and 41.90 as good lap times, hard-coded values. In such case the given values are always used as they are, regardless of WR. Airio allows to specify good lap times as percentages over WR (default) or specific target values (used in this case).
