Track Rotation now on pickup server

[bigbawmcgraw]

Just to make you all aware that ALOOG now have a server running GT3 cars with track rotation :-
Spa, Vallelunga, Nurburgring, Mugello, Silverstone & Imola

This is a new server-side app which we're trying out.

It works by shutting down the server after each race then automatically restarting with the next track in rotation, so you will be booted from the session at the end of each race then you have to rejoin.

No client-side apps are required.

It's a bit rudimentary but given that Kunos has told us they will never be able to have a proper track rotation (without being booted from the server each time) within the current MP system, it's the best we can do.

They are just sprint races for now, 6 mins qually then 5 lap races but can change things to suit if it becomes popular.

The server is called ALOOG-3 -GT3 Track Rotation- www.aloog.net

Have fun :)

Thank you :) Also in support for native track rotation (and or voting to rotate) without the need for players to be kicked, just acs.exe automatically loading the assets once again for the new track.

Yeah, it always strikes me as odd when there is no means to alter server settings without completely shutting it down and loading a different config.

That's not going to happen unfortunately. Not unless they completely re-write the code for MP. This is the best we can hope for....
