This release is compatible with the previous patches and requires the full game to be installed.
GTR by SimBin Development Team - retail dedicated server v1.4.0.0
IMPORTANT
Please note that this initial version of the dedicated server might only run on
Windows with locale set to english.
A version that supports every possible locale will be available very soon.
INSTALLATION
============
Prerequisite: This program requires GTR 1.4 to be installed.
Run SETUP.EXE to install and follow the instructions on-screen. Once installed,
the icon for the dedicated server will appear in the GTR start menu group.
NOTES
=====
The server operates identically to the dedicated server provided in earlier
versions of GTR, with the following exceptions:
1. It does not require the game CD to be inserted before running.
2. It does not require a Direct3D compatible video card to run.
3. It includes extended options to enable practice/qualifying/warmup sessions
to be configured (i.e. enabled/disabled and to specify their length in
minutes).
4. It supports a +auto command line option, which will start the server in
immediate hosting mode, using the last settings configured. N.B. When used in
this mode, and live reporting is enabled, the server will still prompt for FTP
details. You can automate this step by including a text file in the GTR
directory called "GTR_Reporter.exe.FTP" - a sample is included with this
update.
Also note that this version of the dedicated server has been significantly
optimised to support multiple hosting instances on a single machine.
