Question Launching Game Session from Desktop/URL

Thanks, I'll tested it out

 

I cant get this to work. Shouldn't the data part be somehow encrypted/encoded to something?

 

Strange... this works on my pc by typing the code in the chrome browser... it must be encoded for sure if you trying to launch it from a program that does not automatically encode it for you

 

What "code" works for you from the browser?

 

I use this for Desktop shortcuts for quick connect to servers and just tested it again, worls fine.
Never used it inside a program

 

Hmm, yeah, I tried it through a shortcut too, Raceroom does open but it does not log me in into the game....

 

Hi Stefan,
as an example you can find the attached picture representing a message in steam necessary to launch a race from the SRS application for raceroom.

The encoded URL results as follows:

Code:

rrre://multiplayer/join?data=%7B%22MultiplayerJoin%22%3A%7B%22Address%22%3A%2225.189.188.209%3A60000%22%2C%22Password%22%3A%223091%22%2C%22LiveryId%22%3A5106%7D%7D

This is the decoded (human readable) version:

Code:

rrre://multiplayer/join?data={"MultiplayerJoin":{"Address":"25.189.188.209:60000","Password":"3091","LiveryId":5106}}

Obviously the data related to the server doesn't work anymore, but - having replaced the values in "Address", "Password" and "LiveryID" with some coming from a server of mine - I can confirm this is working.

When pasting this code inside Google Chrome I am requested to launch the R3E application, then a new pop-up comes out of Steam and clicking on it R3E launches and - after having clicked on my keyboard just after the launch - I am taken to the server inside the provided session.

Hope this help.

Best,
Luca

 

Thank you Luca, I will try with url encoding and see if it works

 

@thebaz So I just created a server



This would be the URL:
rrre://multiplayer/join?data={"MultiplayerJoin":{"Address":"185.170.113.3:60000","Password":"Testing","LiveryId":5051}}

Then I URL encoded it
rrre://multiplayer/join?data=%7B%22MultiplayerJoin%22%3A%7B%22Address%22%3A%22185.170.113.3%3A60000%22%2C%22Password%22%3A%22Testing%22%2C%22LiveryId%22%3A5051%7D%7D

And raceroom opens but to the main menu....no idea why its not working for me...its the same url like yours....

 

Will the server still be up tonight? I am currently away and would like to try

 

Yes, I will leave it running, thanks mate! Not sure if raceroom servers keep looping forever though

 

Unfortunately the server is actually down... I suppose so because I am receiving a "no response from the server" message

 

Stefan,

I just launched R3E "manually" and noticed the server is currently up and running (see attached picture). BTW, the server is answering "no response from server" even if I select a car livery, click on "Go race" and then insert the right password.

I think the problem is "server side". Are you sure that you properly opened UDP ports 60000 and 60002 and TCP port 60001 on the firewall?

Best,
Luca

 

Thanks @thebaz for testing this for me. I will check!

 

same here

 

Thanks! I'll check the server once I get home from work

 

You were right sorry, hosting it on new server and forgot to open the ports. So I opened them and can connect manually np....but still the short cut takes me to the RRE main screen

This would be the URL:
rrre://multiplayer/join?data={"MultiplayerJoin":{"Address":"185.170.113.3:60000","Password":"Testing","LiveryId":5051}}

Then I URL encoded it
rrre://multiplayer/join?data=%7B%22MultiplayerJoin%22%3A%7B%22Address%22%3A%22185.170.113.3%3A60000%22%2C%22Password%22%3A%22Testing%22%2C%22LiveryId%22%3A5051%7D%7D

 

When i try manually connect it gives me error: Closed Multiplayer Session.
Btw i never html encoded my desktop links

 

I think you had a typo there, as i cant find a livery id 5051 in the tatuus f4?

Code:
