Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get dense traffic?​

  • Add more cars to the entry_list.ini that are used as traffic. This is the most important setting. It is pretty much impossible to achieve high traffic density with just 10 traffic cars, for example.
  • Decrease MinAiSafetyDistanceMeters / MaxAiSafetyDistanceMeters to make gaps between AI cars smaller.
    Don't set it lower than ~12m or you might experience AI cars braking immediately after spawning!
  • Decrease MinSpawnDistancePoints / MaxSpawnDistancePoints to spawn cars closer to the player and fill up gaps in traffic.

Why can't I drive certain cars on my server?​

Certain car mods are designed to only be driven on servers that are whitelisted by the creators of the car mod.
Affected cars usually do not respond to the gas pedal input if they are used on other servers.
This restriction is built into the car mod itself and cannot be deactivated by any means.
Please note that these restrictions are not a feature of AssettoServer.

Why am I spawning in a different location than expected?​

Where you spawn depends on where the pit for each index is located for track and layout that you chose.
For example, the Main Layout of Shutoko Revival Project combines 170 pits into a single layout.
Because of that, it is possible to spawn in different locations depending on the index that each car has in the entry_list.ini.
Here is a short list of which indices correspond to which spawn location for the Shutoko Revival Project - Main Layout.

Car IndicesSpawn Location
[CAR_0] to [CAR_39]Tatsumi PA
[CAR_40] to [CAR_61]Yoyogi PA
[CAR_62] to [CAR_81]Heiwajima PA - Northbound
[CAR_82] to [CAR_157]Heiwajima PA - Southbound
[CAR_158] to [CAR_169]Daishi PA
caution

It is not possible to skip or have duplicate indices in entry_list.ini.
This means that you cannot start your entry list with [CAR_82] to have all cars spawn in Heiwajima, or have multiple [CAR_0] entries to have more than 40 cars spawn in Tatsumi.

Why am I stuck on "Initialising AI spline" during loading?​

Your game is loading the singleplayer AI spline that is in your local game files, which is not needed for freeroam servers.

If your server is using a singleplayer traffic layout, for example Shutoko Revival Project - Shibaura PA Traffic, use the regular version of the layout instead.

Otherwise rename the ai folder from the tracks layout folder in your game files to ai_off.
By default: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\assettocorsa\content\tracks\<trackname>\<layoutname>\ai
If the track has no layouts it will be in the track folder instead.

note

Renaming the ai folder will remove the ability to use AI for that specific layout in singleplayer.
It wil also disable some client side penalty systems like track cuts.
If you ever want to use AI in singleplayer or these penalties again, simple rename the ai_off folder back to ai.

How do I remove checksums?​

caution

Only remove checksums if you're okay with users cheating.
Checksums are required to prevent people from cheating by modifying their car and track data.
Remove them at your own risk.

  • Navigate to the \content\cars folder on your server.
  • Remove the data.acd in the folder of every car that you want to use without checksums.
  • Enable MissingCarChecksums in extra_cfg.yml and restart the server.
  • If you've done everything correctly you should no longer see a Added checksum for car_name log message for the car you removed. If you've removed the checksum of all cars it should also log Initialized 0 car checksums.

If you added any other checksums like track kn5's or car colliders, also remove those files.

How do I add missing track params?​

You can either add the parameters locally or ignore this error by setting MissingTrackParams to true in extra_cfg.yml.
Keep in mind that setting MissingTrackParams to true can result in time not being synchronized between players and the server.

Navigate to the cfg folder of the server and open the data_track_params.ini.
Go to the bottom of the file and add a section for your track using the folder name of your track as the header like this:

data_track_params.ini
[shuto_revival_project_beta_ptb]
NAME=SRP PTB
LATITUDE=
LONGITUDE=
TIMEZONE=

Open Google Maps and find the location of the track.
Right click onto the map and click the Longitute and Latitute values that will be shown as the first option to copy them.

Paste them after the LATITUDE= and LONGITUDE= keys.

Open a TZ timezone list and look for the time zone that the track is in, then copy the TZ Identifier.

Paste it after the TIMEZONE= key.

You should now have something along the lines of this:

data_track_params.ini
[shuto_revival_project_beta_ptb]
NAME=SRP PTB
LATITUDE=35.67040
LONGITUDE=139.74085
TIMEZONE=Asia/Tokyo

Save and close the file, open extra_cfg.yml and set ForceServerParams to true.
Please also adjust MinimumCSPVersion if needed.

extra_cfg.yml
# Override minimum CSP version required to join this server. Leave this empty to not require CSP.
MinimumCSPVersion: 2144

# Force clients to use track params (coordinates, time zone) specified on the server. CSP 0.1.79+ required
ForceServerTrackParams: true

How do I use CSP extra server options?​

Changing the required CSP version​

extra_cfg.yml
# Override minimum CSP version required to join this server. Leave this empty to not require CSP.
MinimumCSPVersion: 1937
Where can I find CSP version IDs?

In Content Manager, navigate to Settings > Custom Shaders Patch > About & Updates and look for the Currently active Shaders Patch version ID.

If you need the ID of a version you currently don't have installed the official CSP Website lists the IDs in the Other Versions sections.

Adding CSP extra server options to the server​

Depending on if you have the full version of Content Manager or not, there are two different ways to accomplish this:

Click the Folder button at the bottom of the preset page and create a file called csp_extra_options.ini.

This CSP wiki page has a long list of options you can use.
The options on that page go into the csp_extra_options.ini, for example:

Allowing extra options via the entry list​

Some features like Teleportation and Color Changing require you to allow cars to use them in the entry list.

Click the CSP button and enable the features you want to allow for the car:

How do I allow driving the wrong way?​

This is also used to remove the incorrectly displayed wrong way indicator on tracks like Shutoko Revival Project.
If you want to make sure that people drive the correct way after adding this setting, use the AutoModerationPlugin.

csp_extra_options.ini
[EXTRA_RULES]
ALLOW_WRONG_WAY = 1

If you get teleported back to pits, rename the ai folder from the track layout folder in your local game files to ai_off.
By default: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\assettocorsa\content\tracks\<trackname>\<layoutname>\ai

How do I enable Teleportation?​

For teleporting, two things have to be done:

  • Allowing cars in the entry list to teleport, explained here.
  • Adding teleport destinations to the csp_extra_options.ini

If done correctly you should have a Teleport to... option in the chat app extras:

Where can I find teleport locations for SRP?​

Either use the teleports used on the official SRP servers below or make some yourself.

How do I make my own teleport locations?​

You can use the Objects Inspector or the comfy map app to determine the coordinates and heading.
The formating is as follows:

POINT_0 = Name               ; Destination name
POINT_0_GROUP = Group Name   ; Optional group
POINT_0_POS = X, Y, Z        ; Coordinates
POINT_0_HEADING = 0          ; Heading angle in degrees
note

The comfy map app is not required to create points, enable or use teleportation.

How do I enable Color Changing?​

For Color Changing, two things have to be done:

  • Allowing cars in the entry list to change colors, explained here
  • Adding the following to the csp_extra_options.ini

Keep in mind that this only works for cars with regular skins, liveries using textures will not be affected.

csp_extra_options.ini
[CUSTOM_COLOR]
ALLOW_EVERYWHERE = 1   ; Change car colors anywhere as long as the car is stopped.
note

If AI cars are allowed to, they will spawn in random colors.

How do I increase the speed in the pits?​

csp_extra_options.ini
[PITS_SPEED_LIMITER]
KEEP_COLLISIONS = 0   ; Activate collisions between cars in pits
SPEED_KMH = 80        ; Alter pits speed limiter value; default is 80

How do I use Server Scripts?​

note

Keep in mind that Server Scripts are different from AssettoServer Plugins, and we don’t provide support for them on our Discord.

You're going to need to host your script in plaintext somewhere publicly accessible, for example:

  • Github / Pastebin
  • Your own media server (like IIS or others)
  • DO NOT HOST ON DISCORD
csp_extra_options.ini
[SCRIPT_...]
SCRIPT = "https://pastebin.com/raw/00000000000"    ; Change this to the url of your script

There are more options available here.

How do I allow players to download missing content?​

It's possible to allow players to download missing content like tracks and cars in the Content Manager server browser. This can be done by either providing direct download links if the content is stored on a 3rd party file hosting service like GoogleDrive or by hosting the content directly on the server.

Via 3rd party file hosting services​

caution

Please use the download links the authors of the content you're using provide unless you're explicitly allowed to reupload them for yourself.

  • Navigate to the Details Tab in your Server preset.
  • In the Share Mode tab select "Download URL" and paste the direct download link into the Download from field.
  • Leave Version Required as it is since CM will autofill these for you, then save the preset.
  • A content.json file will be created in the cm_content folder under the directory of the server.
caution

The cm_content folder does not get included when using the packing feature and has to be manually copied.

Via the server directly​

  • Navigate to the Details Tab in your Server preset.

  • In the Share Mode tab select "Download URL" and paste the direct download link into the Share from server field.

  • Click the 3 little dots on the Packed archive line and either select Select existing archive if you already have a packed archive or select Repack to do so.

  • Leave Version Required as it is since CM will autofill these for you, then save the preset.

  • A content.json file will be created in the cm_content folder under the directory of the server.
    If you used the Repack option, the generated archives will also be added to this folder.

caution

The cm_content folder does not get included when using the packing feature and has to be manually copied.

Content Manager automatically fills in the full path to each archive.
If you plan on moving these files (to a VPS for example), you will need to update the file: parameter for each entry in the content.json to reflect their new location.

note

Instead of specifying the complete file path, you can just provide the path relative to AssettoServer's root directory.
For example: "file": "cfg/cm_content/car_name.zip",

How can I enable a Custom Steam API Replacement?​

AssettoServer does not support piracy and as such there is no way around buying Assetto Corsa and the DLC's required by the content you want to use.
If you used a pirated version of Assetto Corsa in the past and have since purchased everything, make sure to:

  • Verify your game files via Steam
  • Change the Assetto Corsa game folder in the Content Manager general settings to your Steam installation.
    By default: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\assettocorsa\

How can I format my server description?​

Linebreaks
The |- modifier is probably the most important part to properly format your description.
Read this site for more information: https://yaml-multiline.info/

BBcode
The description in Content Manager uses BBcode tags, read: https://www.bbcode.org/reference.php
To add images use [img=<link>]img1[/img]
Keep in mind that some functions of BBcode are not supported by Content Manager.

Example Description, do not add this to the bottom of the extra_cfg.yml.

extra_cfg.yml
# Server description shown in Content Manager. EnableServerDetails must be on
