Hi. I'm a S2 user and run lfs on wine on linux. Usually I get did not receive ok and rarely I can join a server, I can't join some demo servers that I remember I had joined before. How to get into this problem? Am I the only one having this problem ?

Hello. I came to declare that the owner of the website http://www.LFS.ir http://racenet.ir , is a scammer.
After filling up a form and all personal details like home address the website charged me around 6$ of that time for a S1 license and NEVER returned my money. I called him, texted him, nothing.
Today that I'm reporting this imposter I found out that his website is taken down.

I didn't find any setup to manipulate that 29339 port.
Seems that the way LFS works is this:

You run dcon.exe with X portname, specified in the setup file.
$ wine DCon.exe /cfg=[setupfile]

and there should be some "hostname" in setup file. If you don't specify a hostname, you can't connect to your server.
On the client side, the player should enter hostname in the field for "Join a specified host"

to dockerize, there I tampered with it, you should use -p X option. Y may work, Y Z will not work. Don't run 2 servers on one port.

I could also get a tweak server by Multimod to run. it was the only tweak server i could run.

Ok. I made it. I run it on the VPS. set an admin pass.
/IP=[the IP of your server]
choose a nice hostname.

In a running game, choose specific host, enter the hostname mentioned above.
The server works.

I use the ufw firewall, rather than IPtables, due to simplicity. I need to know what rules must be made in order to run a dedicated server.

do you use wine ? have your read the wiki?
https://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Running_LFS_on_Linux
what wheel/controller do you use?
Please follow my work. I'm trying to launch an LFS-dedicated-server on linux on internet. Any help appreciated.
https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/9572-Guide%3A-Running-an-LFS-Server/page/29

Update : I've rented the VPS and I'm running the DCon.exe the way I discussed.
Now, how to connect to it from my PC?

from this manual:
https://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Hosting#Linux_with_WINE
I don't understand what those "iptables" command do.

Firewalls
There are a lot of firewalls out there, but I'll try and cover the ones I've got experience with: ISA, iptables and the windows firewall. If anyone has any requests, I'll add it to the thread / guide, if I can.
IPTables
The following rules should be enough to help you. Note: I assume that the machine running iptables is the same as the machine running the server. If not replace INPUT and OUTPUT with FORWARD.
Inbound:
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 63392 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport 63392 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
Outbound:
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 29339 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
____
by this time i tried the iptable commands. VPS ip as hostname. Error: host not found on master server.

no. actually he was active guy in community , due to serious shit going on in the world, may be purchasing has been impossible for him. but, it was very shameful that after some email and calling, he didn't bother to return it.

Greetings.
I require more assistance on running a server. I will rent a very basic VPS.
European VPS. I would like volunteers to join. the server will be very basic settings, demo version. I would like to see if 10 players connect, may be 20 players, i want to see how much it will take.
Volunteers needed. Time will be on weekend. I want to perform such a test in 2 weeks.

Ye. there's a guy running LFS.ir . He sells license I paid him for the license. But now it's eq. 4 Pounds. He didn't return my money in last few months. So, where is my license? I had asked for S1. I pay in valuable cryptocurrency for a S2.

for the small go-kart in a downhill twisted track. may be.

There are quite some games (strategic) that let users create maps.
The game had a language (WML) to program elements and a map editor.
I guess that a driving simulator would find opensource road/track generating useful.

There need to be a mountainous track.
There should be a linux-x64 .appimage version.

Hi. I'm more interested in running the server of this game. I don't have a pc/ps racing wheel yet. I learned driving at a track, empty streets, parkinglots. I used LFS to understand car physics. I remember that I used this game for first time, it was 7 years ago.

First I need to correct:
the:
//ip= [x]
for local, it needs to be // - comment -inactive

the docker runs perfectly. I saved the docker locally.

the next step is running it on a VPS. I will use [vps IP] : 63392 to connect. I'll return if I get problems.

Keep watching!
sudo docker run -it -p 63392:63392 ubuntu

I followed the usual instructions. Since linux docker images are minimal, you should have basic knowledge of linux.
I used 64bit as base image and had to add-architecture (it's in the instructions wiki)
so it's better to use the i386 base image.

ERROR IN THE GAME RUNNING ON DESKTOP:
could not send udp packet.

So I will add porting to UDP later.

-p 8080:80/tcp -p 8080:80/udp Map TCP port 80 in the container to TCP port 8080 on the Docker host, and map UDP port 80 in the container to UDP port 8080 on the Docker host.

https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/container-networking/

I ran it. next step is to set it local. I will also try to run DCon.exe on docker image and try to communicate with that! The bad thing about docker is that, it's only an image. You should reinstall ALL after turning it off.

Notes:
1-The purpose of this test is to understand how the server works in Virtual Environment, to be able to run local or on internet.

2- When i say host-OS, the OS that vbox is installed on. Guest-OS, the one that runs DCon.
The host (server) runs on Guest-OS, the game running on Host-OS is the guest-player. I hope that the reader does not confuse that!

Hi. Checking things again. I created a copy of the setup.cfg , setup-1.cfg
I changed the following settings:
/hostname = LFS
/ip=127.0.0.1

The local vps (linux in vbox) is a commandline only and it boots fast, which means I can change settings fast.

I ran the command " wine DCon.exe /cfg=setup-1.cfg
wine DCon.exe /cfg=setup-1.cfg

this is on Guest-OS:

inet 10.0.2.15 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.0.2.255


the same interface name on Host-OS returns the local 192.168.x.y
And I don't have that em0 interface.

Ok. I guess that I have that 10.0.2.15 and I need to use it.
I add it to the cfg file. I guess that I will need to use the bridged mode which I don't know how.
_______________________

update : I also port forwarded UDP as well as TCP. the cfg is now setup-1.cfg as mentioned above. The game runs well. The local VPS is smooth using the least resource.

yes. Local. but I was only testing. I know how to change to file. // comment. / active

update : I'm not sure what IP assign to that line.

Hi. Thanks for your help. There's a web-pass, game-pass and there's also a server (host) pass.
I reached the next step. I set the game pass, and ran the DCon.exe as mentioned.
I got this error on game screen:
Error is : "Could not send UDP packet."

Here's my setup:
DCon.exe runs on a CLI ubuntu installed on Virtualbox, equipped with Wine.
The "v-box" network setup is: NAT, port forwarding. The same port number 63392 host and guest.
The connection type was "TCP" and I got the error.
Then I changed it to "UDP" and "ClientConnect : connect failed"

May be this is a virtualbox problem. I will try to run the server on LAN and see if there are any errors. The vbox useful for testing.

btw: There is an LFS linux version, available as a "snap package" on ubuntu. Which does not install properly at the moment.

I used this manual. Getting WINE to work is easy. I used the server instructions.
https://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Running_LFS_on_Linux

Hi. this is my first post on this forum.
I'm testing running the game on wine, on linux. it's the demo version.
And I also have a local vps , linux, running DCon.exe in wine, the OEM cfg file.

I'm using the Demo version.
the host password line is "commented"
when I want to enter, it says : Game password does not match.

Does unlocking the S1 license solve this problem?

here's the game server output:
