rFactor

I know there are 2 configs already in the forums but wanted to expand on the previous threads and share my config which I added a lot of command line options and also a custom command line parameter. I tested this config and it works, you will have to tweak some settings to your liking.

 

1) Download rFactor (this download will will only allow the client-side 60 minutes of free play and then needs activation. Running it as a dedicated server does not require activation)

2) Start the game on your home PC and create a profile, then create a online server and start it up with the desired settings. After the server starts you can close your game.

 

3) Create a new folder on the server called

 

C:\Path\to\UserData\DedicatedServer

 

4) Go into your local computer and upload the contents of your

 

UserData\ProfileNameHere

 

To the server in the UserData\DedicatedServer folder.

 

The ProfileNameHere is what every name you gave yourself when you first started rFactor

 

5) There will be several files in the DedicatedServer folder. The 3 big files that TCAdmin will need are

 

UserData\DedicatedServer\Multiplayer.ini

UserData\DedicatedServer\ProfileNameHere[racenamehere].ini

UserData\DedicatedServer\ProfileNameHere.plr

 

Rename the last 2 files so you have this

 

Multiplayer.ini

Dedicated[racenamehere].ini

DedicatedServer.plr

 

For the middle file, an example that I used on my server is:

 

DedicatedSRGrandPrix05.ini

 

That is the race I chose when creating my online server.

 

6) Import the below TCAdmin config

 

7) You will need to check the game's Default Config files and edit the following 2 files

 

DedicatedServer.plr

DedicatedSRGrandPrix05.ini

 

Overwrite the contents of my .plr with the contents of your .plr. Then make a new Dedicated[racenamehere].ini to fit with the race you created.

 

8) Rename the dedicated server exe from

 

rFactor Dedicated.exe

 

to

 

rFactor_Dedicated.exe

 

 

**The command lines calls the profile "DedicatedServer" at startup. The custom command line option allows a client to upload their own profiles and specify it in the command line changer.**

 

 

 

Hope this makes sense. Let me know if you have any questions.
