PingLimit addon for Project Cars Dedicated Server
This software is an addon for Project Cars game, it's written in Lua language and is installed directly in Dedicated Server. The objective is to keep just players with an acceptable ping (round-trip-time), kicking players with ping above the limit configured.
The configuration is stored in lua_config/epinter_pinglimit_config.json (the file is auto generated when server starts first time with addon enabled). By default, the addon is configured with this parameters:
// ping limit - round trip time in milliseconds
limit: 350
// how much samples of ping data we will use to decide if the player is above the limit or not
samples: 30
// Percentage. The tolerance we should have considering the total number of ping above the limit.
// With a tolerance of 20%, all occurences of ping above the limit will have 5x the weight of a ping below the limit.
tolerance: 10
//debug
debug: 0
//When 0, DON'T kick the session host
kickHost: 0
//Time in seconds to keep a player banned after kick.
//10 minutes is recommended, the server seems to ignore something like 1 or 2 minutes.
tempBanTime: 600
All the files must be inside the directory lua/epinter_pinglimit/. DON'T rename any files, or the addon won't work. The directory structure should be like this:
DedicatedServerCmd
readme.txt
steam_appid.txt
lua/
lua_config/
lua/epinter_pinglimit/
lua/epinter_pinglimit/epinter_pinglimit.json
lua/epinter_pinglimit/README.md
lua/epinter_pinglimit/epinter_pinglimit.lua
lua/epinter_pinglimit/epinter_pinglimit_default_config.json
With the files in the correct directory, the addon must be enabled in server.cfg:
luaApiAddons : [
// Core server bootup scripts and helper functions. This will be always loaded first even if not specified here because it's an implicit dependency of all addons.
"sms_base",
// Automatic race setup rotation.
//"sms_rotate",
// Sends greetings messages to joining members, optionally with race setup info, optionally also whenever returning back to lobby post-race.
//"sms_motd",
// Tracks various stats on the server - server, session and player stats.
//"sms_stats",
//PingLimit
"epinter_pinglimit",
]
The sms_base, sms_rotate,sms_motd and sms_stats are there by default, the line added to luaApiAddons is "epinter_pinglimit",
