Hi guys! Does someone know if it is possible to join a server that is running a (virtual) mod which has NO Mod ID? Referring to one of the modding tutorials such server won't appear in the Matchmaker, but no word is lost about if it is possible (or not) to join this server, e.g. via direct IP or something else. As were are just playing/messing around with the new modding tools in our league, we don't want to request a Mod ID for every single "mod" we build at the moment. But however it would be great to test those mods online with a handful of drivers. Any help is much appreciated!
There is an method for doing something similar intended to be used by mod groups during their development. Let me get the details, may need to work on it a bit also.
That would be very interesting indeed... Pre-release testing, while being listed on MatchMaker will get questions . Would be nice if pretesting could be done off the matchmaker.
This should be the right option. But how can testers join this server if it isn't listed in the matchmaker? I didn't find a possibility to join via direct IP yet.
I relaunch the question, how to use the in development option? I tested yesterday, and I'm blocked, server not visible from matchmaker and no button in rFactor to join with IPort directly. So I'm blocked to test our mods online with betatesters.
Hello, now it's time to test our in development mod . Can ISI answer to this question, please? What is the method to join a server without showing it in matchmaker???
Just do it like everybody else does it - create a password protected server. You can delete the mod ID after you don't want to test it anymore.
Password, which I assume you would be doing anyway, and make sure the server isn't allowing people to download it also (though they would need the password to do that also). You can use a temporary name, and a different ID during testing.
Thank you for the answer, I will do like that, this shows the "In developement" server feature is not mature at this time?
