Great track! Congrats Luis

ai take some weird lines especially into the hairpin causing a traffic jam

This is the best mod for a track availeble in my opinion
Great job

Great Track, Thanks LuisB

just a beautiful track, thank you for so many awesome racing here!

Thanks Alan that was a great information so everybody can try that.

Hey LuisB! Thanks for your latest update. Even with it, my dedicated server continued crashing. Still, I managed to find a workaround after googling a bit, and it works for your track as well: For some reason, some tracks just can't generate CBASH files correctly when started through dedicated server. So I copied both Long Beach files from CBASH folder(UserData/Logs/CBash) from my local machine where I'm able to enter the track and drive it, and uploaded to my server machine. Then, I added these files into CBash from my rf2Dedicated installation. And that was it, working now!!!

Sorry I mean you open the scn (with a notepad) to find the folders to create. The coincident mas are exported to the folders.

Matthauser I guess you want to add pit garages and positions and grid positions in AIW. There are 2 ways 2 install it in the DevMod one manual and other automatically (sometimes this fails).
Automatically you need to have the install tool so go to the ....|\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\365960 and search for Long Beach you will find \Long_Beach_2.35.rfcmp right click (presuming you have the install in it) and install it in DEVMOD.
The second way is too go to the Steam\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\Installed\Locations\Long_Beach\2.35\ and open the Long_Beach.mas with the tool to open MAS in ...\Steam\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\Support\Tools\MAS2.exe export the SCN file anywhere you want then open the scn and under ...\Steam\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\ModDev\Locations create the necessary folders. The next step is to export the mas files to the correct folders (easy just follow the name).

Hello, thanks for your work and the track!
Any hints how to open the track in devmode? (We want to drive the track with a big grid and need to check pit/garage spots and starting grid spots)
Thanks in advance!

Track version 2.35 hope it works in dedicated server for everyone now.

Part 2 (I can only use 1000 Characters here?)
I really hope, that the Version, that LuisB will upload as next, will work for all of you or at least for some more.
I can only say, that it is a more than strange Problem.
Just one Thing: when you try it out, ensure that there only the Version installed that you want to try.
Uninstall all other Versions, that includes also Long Beach Tracks from other Modders.
Good Luck

Like LuisB has said already, we have tested a lot, with the Help of 2 Users, that also had the Server crashing while loading.
We at least could get it working for one of them.
My Problem is, that all 2.2 Versions (the original and all Test Versions) work for me, i have no Problem to start the Steam Command dedicated Server with them.
And when i can not reproduce the Problem, i can not investigate on my own Machine.
And the Trace Files are completely useless, because you can not find just 1 helpful Hint in them.
So i have to package something together, send a new Version to the ones that have the Crashes, wait for the Feedback, adapt the Package.... and so on.
That is very laborious and Time consuming and so i decided to stop with it.

rf2driver have been investigating the problem and the last version (not uploaded yet in workshop) is working in dedicated server we only need a few more tests.

And here is the tracer log:

Hello, I also have a dedicated server and it crashes whenever I try to launch it with Long Beach. I currently have 2.2 version. I'd like to help investigating the issue if needed. I'll try to run again with tracer and then I'll attach logs

Sorry for the Inconveniences.
The Problem is a strange one.
When i tried to create the Server (Steam Command dedicated Server) with the 2.1 Version on my PC, it crashed too.
Then i've made some Tests and changed some Things and it was loaded.
So i thought, if it loads for me now, it should load for all Others too.
That it doesn't, is really strange.
My current Problem with trying to fix it, is, that i can not fix something that doesn't happen for me.
But i'll continue investigating.

I just tried it again, and it has crashed again. Here are the details:

rf2driver, my apologies, I haven't felt well at all the last day or so. I can try to join you this evening. I am in the US in the Eastern time zone.

LuisB, yes, it is 2.2 https://imgur.com/a/2sn01MP

Bo Stamper please check if you have the correct version (2.2) in your MOD for the server.

Hello Bo Stamper Can you please contact me by a private Conversation in the S397 Forum, i'm redapg there. I just tried the 2.2 out with the Steam Command dedicated Server and it loads properly.

ok.

Thanks, but it is still crashing. I ran the trace and it is the same except for the very first line:

Version 2.2 - updated some wrong textures assignments, special thanks to REDAPG for fixing the server connection

Going to revert to 2.0 to find what is the error and later will upload a 2.2 version hopely with the fix.

Yes, 2.0 worked fine. But I (AND my league) love all the changes you made in 2.1!

"Bo Stamper
Since you're unable to fix the crashing problem, can you upload 2.0 to a hosting service somewhere and make it available?"

Do you mean this version was working?

ok thanks.

Bo Stamper I see what you mean and can you trace the error for the last thing it tries to load before it fails?

There is no difference. You can use Steam commands and download RF2 to your dedicated server so that it doesn't have to have a Steam account associated with it OR you can run a server on your own PC and use a loopback in order to race from the same PC and have others log in and race with you. My league has a standalone server that all racers log into and race.

ok about the server it loads with the rFactor 2 Dedicated Server that is integrated in the Game, but it doesn't load with the Steam Command Dedicated Server. What server are you (guys) using?

Yes, on the server. When you load any car and Long Beach on to a dedicated server and launch it, it will pause for a few seconds, then you get a message that rFactor 2 is not working.

Bo Stamper I don't know what problem are you talking about, I suppose it's the server problem which I have no clue what could have changed it if it worked before. If it isn't can you please describe what is the problem? About the server problem I'll try to find a coder that eventually can find and fix the problem.

Since you're unable to fix the crashing problem, can you upload 2.0 to a hosting service somewhere and make it available?

Is a bit wierd with so many playing it and no ne else have the error. Are you still using an old system of windows, that errors normally comes associated with the system where steam is running.

Erro texture Sea

cybe the "cap end of path segment" in AIW is not an option for Long Beach since there is not a second path for instance of the pitlane, as far as I know that is only suit for it. I may be wrong and please correct me if I am, you or anyone that can exolain that. Thanks.

LuisB could it have something to do with the Problem described in this Post: https://forum.studio-397.com/index.php?threads/willow-springs-v0-97.67015/page-4#post-1113874 ?
Was the same Problem with this track, dedi crashed at startup. They fixed it like described in the linked post.

hi, nice track but my dedicated server not start with this mod :(

Hello Henri4 that will be a bit unusual to hang around the track lights just for the cars, that have no lights, to race. I don't think the track is used at night, maybe it is for the cars with lighting system, not sure of that, since it is a non permanent circuit but that can happens in the racing period that they open the track. Imo I don't think it will bring any reality. I can go with some lights where there are lamps but that will not solve the problem.

cybe I'm sorry about that but I have no clue why it happens, I'm not a big fan of racing online. If it is something missing for the server run it and it's in my hands please let me know, maybe you can put the problem to studio 397, I'll be happy to see you all satisfied if I really can help.

Mega Track. Love it!
Having the same issue with 2.1 (the same as Miguel some comments below) unable to start dedicated server.
The dedicated just crashes (closes without saying anything).

Hi LuisB, Love the track - so thankful we finally have a good version. It rivals The PC2 version and the track is even better. However, it is rather dark at night. It would be so great if some of the track side object lights could be turned on at night.

I guess the update was done sometime ago from Manfredk2kpr. I believe it's the best we can do the main thing sometimes it's not the AIW the performance deppends of the car physics. My experience trying different cars for the same AIW is that some cars I can't beat them and others they can be beaten. In the case of excellent players I always say to go for 120% in the AI, it's nothing new but some cars physics and AI performance set are a little low, I strongly believe that they should be reviewed.

I didi't try new version yet, but an update to AI line would be nice, it was driving very reckless there.

Version 2.1 - updated the collision materials, new stands and crowd, new rrbin files, new startlights and pole, new water, new pit crowd in pit tents and other little details

I'm having the same issue with 2.0 unable to start dedicated server. I really appreciate your work on this. Hopefully you can update the crowds/stands textures at some point with S397 assets. That would be a big improvement in visuals IMO.
