To start a dedicated server, launch mxbikes.exe with the following parameters:
mxbikes.exe -dedicated (port number) [-set params (config_file)]
for example:
mxbikes.exe -dedicated 54210 -set params dedicated.ini
NOTE: if a client runs on the same PC, port 54210 cannot be used.
Configuration file must be in the installation path
If not set SERVER.INI is used.

track2_layout=
track2_paint=
track3=
track3_layout=
track3_paint=
...
...

The whitelist and blacklist are a text file using the following format:
[entry0]
guid = ........
[entry1]
guid = ........
[entry2]
steamid = ........
The GUID can be read in the "Profiles" page.
Optionally, it is possible to replace "guid" with "steamid", to use the Steam ID number instead.
Whitelist only: it is possible to set, for each entry, the race number, the name, a prefix to the name ( for example a team "tag" ) and the bike.
Also, it is possible to set a custom string, up to 18 character long, that is added to the XML results export and to the live timing data.
[entry0]
guid = ........
race_number = ...
name = ...
name_prefix = ...
bike_id = ...
spectator = ; 0 or 1. If set to 1, the entry is forced as spectator
extra = ........
In the dedicated server text input, it is possible to type text that will be sent to the connected clients. It can be a personal message: http://forum.mx-bikes.com/index.php?topic=4729.msg44873#msg44873
It is also possible to send commands: http://forum.mx-bikes.com/index.php?topic=4729.msg44874#msg44874
Additional commands:
- "!restart" to reset the server
- "!whitelist update" to reload the whitelist file
- "!blacklist update" to reload the blacklist file
- "!admin" followed by client's name ( or #race number) to promote a client to admin
Text can be sent to the dedicated server from remote, too: http://forum.mx-bikes.com/index.php?topic=3891.0
NOTE: a license is not needed to start a dedicated server.
I've been trying this -
In the dedicated server text input, it is possible to type:
"restart" to reset the server
But when I type "restart" in the dedi console it only seems to type a message in chat, is there a command symbol of some kind in need to put in front of these dedi console commands?

The "!" prefix must be used to execute a command.

ok im hosting my own server, and whenever i have my dedicated server running i cant join any server, not even my own. when i click join on a server it doesnt say connecting, it just gives me the option to cancel the server like this

does anyone have a fix? when i close the server it works and im able to relaunch the game and join other servers.

When hosting on the same PC where the client is running, the port must be changed from 10410 to something else, for example 10411.

ahh thank you sir. great work on beta 4 by the way, quite an improvement.
Any chance we can get to set the qualifying race laps please? Looks like right now it's calculated at something like 70% of race distance, be nice if we could alter this as some Qualifying events, like LCQ, run less laps than a Heat race IRL.
I'd really like the ability to setup an ini for each race stage to get, for instance, the AMA Supercross 250 format of 2 heats, an LCQ and the main. I'd like to use the qualifying races for all heats and disable the qualy race for a main.
:)
Of course the ultimate way would be to allow us to totally customise an event, numerous heats, mains and all :D I can dream eh ;)

In the same place where you put the password to connect to a password protected server. If you put the admin password, you'll log in as admin.

You need to enter the admin password before joining a server, it goes in the password box bottom right of the server list screen.
Haha ok, I'll never thought to put the admin password here !
Thank you guys :)
Hi,
I dont understand how i can set qualif time and race time in the dedicated.ini.
I can set race_lap and race_length but i dont know what does it do?
When i join my dedicated server i play in practice, in qualif but never in race, where is the problem?
dedicated.ini :
[race]
quick_race = 0; 0 or 1, if set to 1, practice, sighting lap and warmup lap are skipped
practice_length = 1; minutes
prequalify_length = 0; minutes
warmup_length = 0; minutes
sighting_lap = 0; 0 or 1
race_length = 100; % of full length
race_use_laps = 1; 0 or 1. If set to 1, race_laps is used instead of race_length
race_laps = 1; number of race laps
Last I knew (don't think it's changed since) you can either set race laps or % of full race depending on the switch "race_use_laps = 1; 0 or 1. If set to 1, race_laps is used instead of race_length" . The qualifying laps are then set at 70% of the race distance and currently are not separately adjustable.

Not sure what you mean by this? Your ini below is set for a 1 race lap, not sure how the game will set the qualifying laps but guess it'll round up to 1. But are you saying you never get to the race in your server with these settings?
Thanks Teeds,
If i understand good, I have to try with other parameters, maybe my problems will disappear.
When you tell 70%, it is 70% of race lap or race length?
So, if in parameters i have : 100% race and 100 laps race we have 70 qualif laps and 30 race laps or 70 qualif laps and 100 race laps?
Or i understanding nothing :-[

Yea I think you've got it but It's either
laps or %,
not both depending on how you set "race_use_laps = 1; 0 or 1. If set to 1, race_laps is used
instead of race_length"
Qually is 70% of either, so -
If you use Laps - race_use_laps = 1
10 laps = 7 qualifying laps
20 laps = 14 qualifying laps
If you use % - race_use_laps = 0
If a real race is 20 laps and you set 100%, that's 20 laps = 14 qualifying laps
If a real race is 20 laps and you set 50%, that's 10 laps = 7 qualifying laps
Not used % myself so I'm not sure what the number of laps for 100% is (easy to find out though, just run a 100% race and note laps), maybe it's a certain amount set in game for SX and MX but maybe it's in each track config?
Thanks for all Teeds!!
I will try ;D
So was just getting mine to work but i have some confusion on what to do for this to work correctly so please help if you can. My server shows up as dedicated server and we can get our friends to connect but its stuck on a supermoto track only. Can i get some direction on how to name the tracks in order for this to work. Also the server is always on even when i disconnect it shows up on the list is that normal? Can someone post a code for how it should look to work correct and with the proper track codes?
Thanks and hopefully i can add to the list over servers.
Quote from: geofanatec on March 27, 2017, 02:14:42 AM
Name the track same as the folder name (or pkz) for the track.
Some have different layouts like on JS7 and require a layout name as well (which is name of subfolder in track folder).
Hope that helps.
I've named them that but it defaults to the Adria international Raceway every time. Plus the laps are not changing as well. I want to make sure i am spacing and entering in all the right info. when i copy that code line do i need to edit every line in there?

I want to have a dedicated server just not sure what is wrong on my ini. I created a shortcut with the target info entered in. I have filled out the info on the ini file and when i click the shortcut a cmd like box pops up showing the server on with the supermoto track and the laps unchanged every time. I have to be missing something here. Can you send me in a PM you ini file with out like admin and other info you do not want me to see so i can make this work? I just want to use yours to refer to mine and correct anything i may have missed? I just went into notepad ++ and pasted that code piboso posted then saved it as server.ini but it will not work. That file is in my 86 folder as well
https://gyazo.com/9e3d7321be0e812d6be4e66d02f2f51b
Just making sure this i need to name something else. Plus at the end of the target before ini i name that. Needs to be the same to match correct?
In the most none homo way i love you!!! LOL. Thank you for helping me and all of your patience thru all of this i really appreciate it. It came up and worked right.
Hi,
I'm trying to launch server only in race, to begin to start from the grid.
When i set, in dedicated.ini, quick_race to 1, the game start only in race but i must to wait 15 minutes in stand before start race.
How i can do to disable this waiting time?
Thanks ;)

I have pasted the path to the directory of a folder to export files already.
What exactly do I put in the:
results =
One other thing I didn't quite understand is what is "class"?
Just want to understand this file as much as possible because may eventually try to host some little fun races or something.

Uhmm well yeah there too, I was Just curious about Colors in The game's Server Browser, didn't thought about the Web Server browser tbh but when there's such a feature it would be useful to have the same format for it.
I'm about to Host some 24/7 Servers and I liked the Idea to Change Colors and Font Style (Bold/italic) of the name for different servers. Just to make Things a little more colorful and better eye-catching ::)
Hello everybody,
I try to get result to the end of session.
But i don,t know why I have not any xml file.
I tried this :
results = test.xml ; html or xml. If set it will automatically export results at the end of the last session
directory = \scores; the directory where results will be saved ( must exist )
and this :
results = xml ; html or xml. If set it will automatically export results at the end of the last session
directory = C:\scores; the directory where results will be saved ( must exist )
Nothing works.
Any ideas
Thanks

I just tried but always the same, no one file was created.
Can you give me your parameters please?

directory = C:\Output ; the directory where results will be saved ( must exist )
units = 2 ; 0 -> metric units, 1 -> US units, 2 -> UK units
Only thing I've not tried is XML, give HTML a go. Also I've used this in GPBikes not MXBikes yet, will test and see if it works for me in MXB.
Thanks for your answer teeds,
But to me that don't works.
Maybe i didn't understand how it's works.
I create dedicated server, i join it, i do the race and the game become in "Race over".
When are the results file is created?
Had mine set for a few days and no results have been produced yet. Just changed it over to html to see if that changes anything.
Edit: it didn't.
When I try to play I cant it only opens the server text
Sounds like you have a shortcut to your server.ini file for it to open just the text file. Instead the server shortcut must be made by editing the normal shortcut you use to launch the game. Edit it to include this "mxbikes.exe -dedicated 54210 -set params dedicated.ini" and set the port and filename to what you have setup.

I think the best will be to have all same commands than server text input. And why not add command to kick players.
Quote from: PiBoSo on October 02, 2014, 02:38:18 PMIn the dedicated server text input, it is possible to type:
"!restart" to reset the server
"!update whitelist" to update the whitelist
"!update blacklist" to update the blacklist
The easiest will be to add the possibility to use command in the packet like we use command in server text input.
Edit : To add track in my server, Do I need to have it on my server folder ?
Quote from: MxWayGamer on November 04, 2019, 09:39:37 AMEdit : To add track in my server, Do I need to have it on my server folder ?
The dedicated server should load tracks from the mods folder in "Documents", too.

You can change the location of the documents folder in windows settings, googling "change documents drive windows" should help you out. We had to do this on discord servers too.

Lighter script : For me, it's independant script, a script dedicated to host server without have to install Mx Bikes on the dedicated server. For example, for Mx Simulator, it's just an excutable file who run server in the windows command prompt. It uses low resources so it can be run on light VPS. It's also possible to manage lot of servers easily because it's possible to change the title name of windows prompt. Files to add tracks in the server is also very light, only few ko unlike more than 100 Mo for MxB tracks.

It's not a problem about location. It's more a problem about size of files to host server. Currently, you have to have big hard disk to host server with lot of tracks.

On the dedicated server it is possible to save disk space manually editing each track to delete the MAP, EDF and image files.
Similarly, it is also possible to delete the EDF and sound files for all bikes.
I'am starting to get some new gray hairs over here!....
I have tried to set up my dedicated server now for 2 days, but with NO luck......
What am I missing??
Followed the "guide" about 5 times
open up ports
try other ports and open them to
Try config trough Server setup App
All that happens is that the server window popup with server info, But my actual game NEVER START!
All that starts is that "Server window" but no game....
I have the game through STEAM and as soon that i'am pressing "Play" the server-window popup ( thanks to the parameter from the guide ) Then steam show me "Stop" instead of "Play" for MX-Bikes, but the game never starts up so i can´t play or check if my server works.
Please help! Realy wanna be able to set up my server for our Twitch community! :)
Thank you in advance. ;) Gonna sit here and cry while i wait for somebody to help me :P xD

Ok thanks for info man! Only thing i can find on the website is the download for the "Demo" does that one work?
Or i need the "Complete game" to make this work? :)
Thank you!
The demo d/l is the full game and will work fine for a dedi server.
First post updated to add the "polls" section.
Could you add rcon commands feature in the server software ?
And the possibility to rename to server window ?
I would like to work on the porting of MxsRank to Mx Bikes, but it's impossible without theses features. (I need to rename server window to kill the server software when it's useless to have multi servers).

I don't have preference. Juste something I can use with PHP, I know how to use curl and socket sender, but I can learn other method.
It's not possible to have all commands ?
First post updated to add information on how to write the live timing data to a file.
First post updated with the latest connection bandwidth settings.
It would be useful to get an idea of what you call "very low, low" etc. Because today internet connections are from 1 Mbps to 1Gbps so which option should I take for a 500 Mbps server i.e.?
Do the whitelist prevent people to spectate too ? Got to know how to handle streamers.
Quote from: Niko Mouk on January 28, 2020, 11:14:35 PMDo the whitelist prevent people to spectate too ? Got to know how to handle streamers.
Yes, at the moment the whitelist and blacklist are checked for spectators, too.
The XML result file exported only after race 2 is actually a shame for qualify handling.
Here's the best scenario :
- Divide signed up riders into groups (as the multiplayer is actually laggy with too much people).
- Run servers in practice (not free practice to limit the time) before the event.
- Get the generated XML files for me to parse them, generate groups (A, B, ...) ordered by best time + whitelists. Then start the event.
I already scripted everything but I'm stuck on how to get result files with no races. I don't want to develop something based on the livetiming as we're so close to achieve it with the actual system.
What would be awesome is to add some vars in the ini like :
results_frequency ; 0 = after the whole event, 1 = after each restart (that must work for the practice session)
results_prefix ; Add a custom prefix to the result filenamePlease include something like the servername or let us add a prefix for the result files. When your run multiple servers with the same track so you get some result files with the same name. Yeah I know you can output them in different folders but the idea is to take them all like CTRL+A drag'n'drop and boom.
+1
[live]
enable = ; 1 or 2 to enable live timing. If set to 1, data is sent through UDP packets ( more info: http://forum.mx-bikes.com/index.php?topic=233.0 ). If set to 2, data is written to a local file
port = ; the UDP port ( only used with "enable = 1" )
password = ; ( only used with "enable = 1" )
file = ; the name of the file to write ( only used with "enable = 2" )
track_position = ; 0 or 1. If set to 1, the track centerline and the position of all bikes are written, too ( only used with "enable = 2" )
Is it possible to add a full path for the file name so it's output where I want ? like
file = "C:\mylivetimingfile.txt"
Yes, used this myself last week.
First post updated to add settings for "incremental" export and the filename prefix of results and replays.
First post updated to:
- add settings for the automatic reset of the terrain deformation
- add information about the "restart_delay", that is now disabled when set to zero

Work is in progress on the "remote admin" feature.
It will be integrated in the next update of MX Bikes, beta15.
However, shouldn't the ban and kick options be allowed only for admins that are connected to the server and can see exactly what is going on?

Can a spectator issue admin commands? I'd assumed not but tbh never tried it as normal spectators can't call votes, if indeed not it would be handy in this scenario. Maybe a server admin could watch a stream too and might need to admin things from there.

hm... i think if some numbers of players call me outside MXB saying the server has a anti-game player i need to do something remotely, like kick or ban.
And another question:
Will be possible (or its possible) to create server plugins with r/w commands and events?
like:
onPlayerJoined(playerObj obj, others attr...)
onPlayerRunStart(playerObj obj, others attr...)
onPlayerQuit(playerObj obj, others attr...)
...
setPlayerName() // usefull if i need to create some roles and prepend some text in the player name while he is in the server (ex: [MOD] Player name, or [VIP] Player name)
setPlayerGate(player, gateNumber) // usefull if i need to create a custom race, x1 (two bikes turn based event), sudden dead
sendPlayerToSpec(player) // usefull if i need to create a custom race, x1 (two bikes turn based event), sudden dead

Is it possible to host a server with reserved/VIP slots?
Would be great to have say a 30 man server, with 25 public slots and 5 reserved. A reserved slot would work so that only the person who's been assigned that slot can join it.
Is that or could it be possible?

At the moment it's not possible.
But the option can be added.
First post updated to:
- add support for timed races and qualify practice
- add support for a list of allowed bikes
- add the remote admin section
- add the steam ID option in whitelist and blacklist
- add whitelist settings, that allow to:
-- force race number, name, name prefix and bike of each entry
-- set an ( optional ) "Extra" string for each entry, that is added to the results exports and live timing
- add information about personal messages
- add the command to promote a client to admin
- change the whitelist and blacklist reload commands
when i paste the dedicated parameters into steam and launch the game i am unable to play the game on my own server as it only launches the server.
For use with Steam download the demo from this site and run the dedi server with that, it's free and you can then join with Steam. Just make sure to use a custom port.

I would love to see this added. I've been blocked out of my own server a few times because its full. This would be a great help.
To rebound on what Paulo has suggested ;
What is complicated today is to manage who can join the starting gate. In the SX series scenario it's actually a nightmare because the race format is the following:
Top 8 from heat race 1 and 2 advance to the Main event, others to LCQ
Top 4 from LCQ race advance to the Main event
The only way to manage it today is the following:
Or I update the server whitelist then I must kick everybody (because we can't force them to spectate),
Or I create as much servers as races (this is the option we have chosen)
What would be the best IMO:
After updating the whitelist (with the text file or with a remote admin command), when you start the next race it checks for connected players and switch non-whitelisted people to spectator and vice versa.
So nobody has to leave/rejoin any server during the whole night. This without taking all the pits from the tracks (because this is the real issue performance wise).
PiBoSo, may I request this feature :
[export]
results = both ; html or xml or both to get xml+htm exported
First post updated to:
- add the option to export both HTML and XML at the same time
- add the option to add contacts to the XML export
- add the option to write contacts to the live timing file
First post updated to:
- add the option to set the track paint
- add more information to "track" and "track_layout". It is now possible to optionally select a track based on the track name, instead of the ID.
Hi Peeps,
Please for the love of god someone explain this to me. I have read through a bit and am unsure how to do this lol.
I have created a server config file and placed it into my demo of mxb i downloaded and then how exactly am I changing the mxbikes.exe parameters and am I putting mxbikes.exe -dedicated 54210 -set params dedicated.ini or am I supposed to use mxbikes.exe -dedicated 54211-set params server.ini as I am running the game from from the same pc as the dedi server?
Also I have never forwarded ports so I am unsure if this is correct? I have no Idea what the source destination IP is nor the destination?.
Cheers

Does this mean you're running the demo? I'm pretty sure that's not a feature in the demo. You need the full game. Otherwise, I don't know.
No, I'm running the steam version but I know you have to use the standalone mxb with the resolute mxb server manager and to edit the mxbikes.exe but I am unsure how lol! I'm pretty savvy with computers and shizz but this is double dutch to me and I cant seem to find a straight forward explanation or tut on how to do this. Does this mean I have to buy the game twice to run a server as I bought it on steam?
Sorted it now, I didn't have the beta 17c downloaded only 16 standalone
Hello!
I have a little problem, i managaed to START a dedi server on my PC... The server is showing in the browser for me , and on the website, and some ppl even managed to connect and play with me. But my friend from the same town cannot join my server. He have connection timeout at every attempt. The thing is that my server doesnt show ping in the browser, could this be the reason he cant connect? I have read about the problem with showing the ping, i think i did everything as the instruction says but to no avail. Can someone help me pls?:)

float y;
float z;
} Vector3;

{
Box,

typedef struct

unsigned long color;

Tried to make it clear what all of this would be for with the comments.
I'm not that much of a C(++) dev, so implementation wise it might be shit and yours would probably differ a lot.
It's more about the idea of the functions/events and the comments of them. Just take it as a big wishlist (it's christmas in ~2 months 👉👈🥺 😂) of stuff with which I could probably do most stuff. Just some of it would be cool already.
I know that some of that stuff is already possible with UDP sockets but having an option inside the server itself would be nice as well. And I also know that some of that stuff would probably require new features to be added (e.g.: temporary bans, message formatting).
Feel free to reach out if there's something you don't understand the purpose of. 😅
A lot of what you are asking for is already available via the Remote Admin commands, live timing data, and whitelist/blacklist features. Yes, it would be cool to have an actual plug-in so that UDP wouldn't have to be used - and parsing the current data is a nightmare. But it seems like this would be a low priority for Pibs with some of this data/commands already available.
First post updated to:
- add the option to shuffle the tracks list
- add the option to set a bike reset delay
First post updated to add a whitelist settings to force an entry as spectator.
First post updated to:
- add the "max_ping" setting to collisions
- add information on how to set the replay buffer size
Me and many other have this problem where it doesn't let me play, if I click start on steam then it shows the black box.
Hi @Piboso...
Hope you can give me some clarity
I'm running multiple mx bikes server on my server. The problem I have is that sometimes they crash, this only happen when I running more then one at the time, not if only one is running.
This can happen after 1 hour or more, its at random
Do I need to do something special to run multiple mx bikes servers on one machine?
I have tried running the servers in separated folders or in the same.
When I run them in separated folders, they have a sheared mods folder, as I don't know if its possible to add multi mods folder in the global.ini
p.s
I run custome/community tracks
The error I get from windows when this happens is:

Great to have the sample dedicated.ini contents. But for the most part, server defaults are not indicated. Can that please be included?
Долгие месяцы провел в поисках хостинга, который сочетает в себе надежность и доступную цену. Наконец, мой выбор пал на этот хостинг. Рад, что сайт теперь загружается быстро, а цена оказалась вполне приемлемой. Поддержка тоже на высоте. Очень доволен своим выбором!- Рекомедую хостинг от компании Hidehost.net (https://hidehost.net/).Успешно рабоает с 2012 года - Виртуальные сервера от 5.2$/месяц (https://billing.hidehost.net/pl.php?832 (https://billing.hidehost.net/pl.php?832))
