SOLVED Knockout qualy isn´t working (DEDI server)

[maartinn]

Hi, I am trying to host a DEDI server using the "knockout qualifying" plugin, I set all the parameters in the "CustomPluginVariables.JSON".
At first, it seemed to work properly, running the number of the qualy sessions setted and the time of each session. But in the last session it only let 3 cars to go out, no matter if it was setted to 6, 10 or 15...
Is there anyone could tell what is wrong and how to solve it? Thanks.

Sorry for the late post, but can you paste your settings from the json? Sometimes they can be confusing. Be sure to paste all of them.

@maartinn Do you see a red DNF for the Cars that do not leave the Garage in the 3rd Session?
The whole Thing could be a similar Problem to THIS one, where that happens, when you've set 3 or 4 Race Sessions.
So the Bug seems to appear when more than 2 Qualy or Race Sessions are set/used.

That´s a good point. I set 2 qualys (knockout), Race 1 and Race 2; and as you mention I had the same bug, however i could fix it adding warmup session as well as setting "TimedLapRequired":0 in the "CustomPluginVariables.JSON"

Thanks!

So you want to change to this:

FixedNumberScored":1

As that makes all the numbers absolute. When it's 0 it uses your numbers as relative sizes, so for example if you have scored:20 in session 1 and scored:10 in session 2, and at the end of session 1 there are 16 cars that have set a time, you'll only have 8 competing in session 2 (as 8 is half of 16, same as 10 is half of 20).

(Disclaimer: it's been 7 years since i looked through the source code for that plugin, but I'm fairly sure that's how it works!)

Hopefully that correlates to what you had happen in the sessions? Even if not, change that setting and see if it helps

In my Tool, with that you can edit the CustomPluginVariables.JSON File, i did use this as the Explanation for FixedNumberScored:
has to be set to "1" if you want to use the hereinafter specified number of drivers
So @Lazza is correct, i would say.

I´m sorry for the delay..
Yeah.. That was the problem... Now it works as intended, really really appreciate your help!!
