It's easy to configure your Pingperfect Project Cars 2 Server. Just follow the steps below.
- Open the 'Configuration Files' section from your control panel.
- Select the 'Text Editor' option next to 'server.cfg'
- Refer to the Example Configuration below and change the respective settings where you need to do so in order to configure your server to your desires.
"//" : "You can use dummy entries like this to write comments into the config. 'rem' and '#' are also supported as comment entries."
// But in recent version of the server, standard C++ like one-liner comments are supported as well.
//////////////////////////
// Basic server options //

// Logging level of the server. Messages of this severity and more important will be logged. Can be any of debug/info/warning/error.

// Authenticate users with Steam to check VAC ban when set to true.
secure : true
// Password required to create sessions on the server as well as to join the sessions, password set in Create options is ignored on DS.
password : ""
// Maximum size of sessions that can be created on this server.
// Note that setting this above 16 will allow sessions unjoinable by 32-bit clients to be created on the server.
// The game also currently does not support sessions larger than 32, even if the server can be configured for up to 64 players.

steamPort : 40503
hostPort : 40501

// Delay between server ticks in milliseconds, when not hosting and when hosting a game, respectively.
// Lower values will make the server more responsible and decrease latency by a bit at the expense of higher CPU usage.

// Server access control //
///////////////////////////
// Black list
// Anyone in this list will not be allowed into the server.
// You can use array or map/object. If the value is an object, the keys are ignored, but you can used the strings as comments with name or reason for being in the list.
// If the value is an integer, it's interpreted as a Steam ID of the blacklisted user.
// If it's a string, it's file from which the black list is loaded. The file can contain either an array or an object just like this one, and can reference more files.
// Here we just load the list from file "blacklist.cfg"
// To disable the blacklist just add // infront of the line below
blackList : [ "blacklist.cfg" ]
// White list
// If this is not empty only whitelisted members will be allowed into the server. In that case the black list is ignored.
// Usually you don't want to have this set at all and use passwords instead, but if you prefer to control server access by whitelisting instead, keep this in and enter the right IDs.
// You can use array or map/object. If the value is an object, the keys are ignored, but you can used the strings as comments with name or reason for being in the list.
// If the value is an integer, it's interpreted as a Steam ID of the whitelisted user.
// If it's a string, it's file from which the white list is loaded. The file can contain either an array or an object just like this one, and can reference more files.
// Here we load the list from file "whitelist.cfg", and also allow user with Steam ID 76561197994111033.

// HttpApi configuration //
///////////////////////////
// This provides http-based API and basic web-based controls using a built-in http server.
// HttpApi is disabled by default, and if you enable it with everything else left to default it will listen only locally on 127.0.0.1:9000
// Master enable/disable toggle.
enableHttpApi : false
// Similar to logLevel above but used only for libwebsockets output.
// Note that all logging still goes through the main filter, so you won't be able to use more verbose logging here than the main level.
httpApiLogLevel : "warning"
// Interface name or IP where to bind the local http server providing the API and web-based controls.
// This is the textual name of the interface as assigned by your OS, or IP address of the interface.
// The default value is "127.0.0.1", change it to an empty string to bind the listen socket to all available interfaces.
httpApiInterface : "185.145.201.61"
// Port where the local http server listens.
httpApiPort : 40505
// Map with extra HTTP headers to add to HTTP API responses.
// The keys are the conditions for adding the headers, the values are the headers to add.
// There are no conditions supported yet, so just use "*" for a generic wildard for now, that will match everything in the future too.
httpApiExtraHeaders : {
"*" : "Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *"
}
// Http API access level overrides.
// Each HTTP API endpoint defines its default access level, usually one of "public", "private" or "admin".
// This map can override these levels to anything else. The keys are wildcard endpoint paths, and the values are the
// access levels to use. The first path that matches will be used, processing them in the order as written here.
// The wildcard patterns are case-sensitive and can contain:
// - '*': matches 0 or more characters
// - '%': matches 0 or more characters except for forward slash
// - '?': matches 1 character
httpApiAccessLevels : {
// The default is empty, using defaults as defined by the endpoints themselves.
// But you could for example use this to change all access levels to public (not recommended!)
// "*" : "public"
// Or this to hide the status from public
// "" : "private"
// "status" : "private"
// And similar to hide the help and lists from public
// "api/help" : "private"
// "api/list*" : "private"
// As you can see from the example above, the paths should be written with no initial or trailing slashes.
}
// Filtering rules for the access levels.
// The default access levels are "public", "private" and "admin", but the httpAccessLevels above can define any additional levels.
// This map then tells the server who has access to which level. It's a map from level names to filtering rules.
//
// Filtering rules are then specified as a list of structures, processed in the order as written in the config.
// Each rule structure contains a type" and then type-specific fields. The supported types are:
// - "accept": Accept this request, no additional checks.
// - "reject": Reject this request, no additional checks.
// - "reject-password": Reject this request and let the client know that a password is required, no additional checks.
// - "ip-accept": Accept this request if it matches the "ip" mask in CIDR notation (for example, "192.168.1.0/24")
// - "ip-reject": Reject this request if it matches the "ip" mask in CIDR notation (for example, "192.168.1.0/24")
// - "user": Accept this request if it authenticates as given "user".
// - "group" : Accept this request if it authenticates as given "group".
//
