Multiplayer configuration

[Guest Aristotelis]

Ok friends. So to keep you occupied while you wait for the 0.9.9, and since I'm sure you WON'T READ the readme, helpme, justopenme files... here is a tutorial on how to setup the server.

You will find the file nkservercfg.ini in the root netkar directory. This is the file that controls the server behavior. Follows the options with explanations which you can't insert inside the .ini file.

[CONFIGURATION]

MODE=1----------------------------;// MODE: 1=PRACTICE-qual then race 2=only RACE

DROPOFS=0------------------------;always0

MAXCLIENTS=10-------------------;number of clients

USEFAKECLIENT=0-----------------;always 0

ACCEPTVERSION=106-------------;leave as is

NAME=The flying pig---------------;name of the server

TRACK=newbury--------------------;track name

CAR=modena_street;supra-------;Cars accepted separated by ";"

RACELAPS=4------------------------;numbers of laps in race

WAITTIME=100----------------------;time in seconds for race start

PRACTICETIME=10-----------------;time in minutes for qualifying session

MAXVALIDLAPS=12----------------;number of valid laps in qualifying (i.e. best 12)

PASSWORD=------------------------;password

ADMINPASSWORD=ayumi---------;boss password

SENDTIME=125---------------------;Frequency of server updating in miliseconds.For LANS please try lower values. minimum 30

REGISTER=0------------------------;Register host to main server list. 0=no, 1=yes

MINQUALIFYLAPS=0----------------;minimum laps to do for qualify (0=always qualify)

Please post your questions (if you have any) and we'll try to answer as fast as we can. (and if we can of course hehehe)

cheers

Try using the nKDeamon to configure ther server. .NET is required.

The older version of the server says win2k/XP. But there is no windows version requirement stated for the latest version.

Does this mean it supports win98se?

I am unable to see my server on the NKTRACKER window, and i cant connect to it over my lan. Is this because my server system is win98se?

nkTracker v0.23 - System updated : 2003-12-21

This system shows the informations of the server launched by nkDaemon.NET.

Have you started the server using nKDeamon?

ok i installed NET. and my sever still does not register on nktracker

i have a firewall, but i've disabled

i'm using the configurator - latest version

any more ideas?

[Guest m00ndancer]

Sorry to say this but the nKDeamon req. 2000/XP

and without the right OS the nKDeamon won

[Guest zarker]

ok - now I have WindowsXP.

I have disabled the XP firewall in order to test the NKdeamon server on my PC - and got infested with unwanted apps, ads, and virus' of various kinds.

I'v now reinstalled XP, disabled the XP firewall and installed Zonealarm Pro. I've setup as many rules as I can think of (for my prog and the ports 6000-6002, and the ones needed for DX8.

I can join the severs on the tracker page, but I dont see my name, or anybody else's on the list of drivers for the race. It works OK if I disable the firewall (which I tied for about 10 seconds), but i cant leave it down otherwise I'll end up having to re-install XP again.

Is there some other port i need to configure?

currently I gave configured UDP (for both IN and OUT going) 6000-6002, 6073, 2302-2400.

Many thanks
