Thanks JLV! What do you mean by second kick now ends connection immediately, does the first kick (or what it did before) have a timer or something on it before the person was disconnected?

THANK YOU JLV!
I've wanted the '/sendfile' command for my server for a while now

The first kick tells the client to disconnect and waits for an acknowledgement. The second one just drops the client. So if there's a lagged out player holding things up the second kick will remove him no matter what.

So /sendfile is for trackinfo, and adding track functionality is there, so how exactly are these functions used from in game? I'm fine with reading it wherever it is if it is somewhere, and if it's in the readme and I just need to download you may call me names.

To send a file, use the new snapshot, make a folder named "outgoing" in your personal folder, put your file there and type "/sendfile myscipt.mxs" to send it.

It's in the README.TXT, but not in step by step form.
On the server, make a folder to hold the uploaded files. I'll assume you named it "files".
Start your server with "--sendfile-prefix files/". The trailing / is required.
On your PC, make a folder in the install or personal folder named "outgoing". Put the files you want to send there.
In the game connect to the server and type "/sendfile mytrack.trackinfo". On the server, the "mytrack.trackinfo" should now be in "files".
Add the track with "server, addtrack 30 2 100000 files/mytrack.trackinfo".
The filenames are restricted to alphanumeric characters, underscores and periods.

JLV, would you need to restart the game to acknowledge that the files are within the files folder in your personal folder or can you tab out, place file and then use the sendfile command?
Thanks.

You can tab out, put the file on the outgoing folder, and upload it. Just make sure it isn't named the same as another script! That was the problem we had for the lites am races last week at LRS! I was just trying to overwrite old scripts and it wasn't working.

The readme says: Then run the server like this: mxserver --args-file serverargs.txt.
dafuq is this do we have to type it somewhere?
