N4: Server info

Guys, anyone know how to make sure a dedicated server doesn't automatically boot everyone out one minute after a race? Thanks! -- Colin ICQ 25485061 Fast Food Racing: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/fastfood/index.html FFRL: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/fastfood/ffrl/index.html

Actually, it doens't "boot" you,, everyone is just taken back to the setup screen, right? If it is kicking players out then you have a problem. To change the time that the server stays "at the track" go into your dedicated players "player.ini" file, in the [Server] section and change the "auto_leave_timeout=" line to the time of your choice. The number there is representative of seconds. I set mine to 300 and sure enough, it takes five minutes now. sr Colin Harris <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:1CV67.24158$[email hidden]... > Guys, anyone know how to make sure a dedicated server doesn'tautomatically

I meant to say, "go into your dedicated server's player.ini file", not dedicated players, LOL.

in the player.ini file for your server, add this linre to the indicated section: [SERVER] auto_leave_timeout=600 ; # of SECONDS to wait before shutting server down after race The setting shown above allows 10 minutes after the race is over.
