Welcome to Mr.Assetto's Assetto Corsa Server Manager Wiki!

This wiki provides instructions, background information, and frequently asked questions about the Assetto Corsa Server Manager.

Background

This application is developed in Java using Apache NetBeans 20 and was initiated on June 5th, 2023. As a novice in coding, I am learning throughout the development process. The project has evolved significantly from its initial concept, with a focus on functionality over aesthetics.

Instructions

Initial Setup

1. Java Requirements: For optimal compatibility, download Java and Java JDK-19. The launcher checks for these installations, providing download links if absent.

2. Installation:

   • Download the project zip file.
   • Create a new folder and transfer all files and folders from the zip into this folder. Alternatively, move the zip file to the desired location and use the 'Extract\ Folder' option.

3. Launching the Application:

   • Execute 'MrAssettoManager Launcher.exe', a batch script that performs compatibility checks and launches the manager. This approach prevents the command prompt from remaining open. The batch file contains:

     @echo off
     start "" /B wscript.exe "run_program.vbs"
     exit

   What run_program.vbs does:

   • The Script is used to check for the presence of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and a specific version of the Java Development Kit (JDK) on a user's system before running:

     ' This script is to not have the command prompt stay open when running the program. 
     ' It checks if JRE is installed, if not, prompts to download it.
     ' If JRE is present but not the specific JDK version, it prompts to download the JDK and uses the local JDK to start the program.
     Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
     Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
     
     ' Path to the local JDK
     jdkPath = ".\jdk-19.0.1\bin\java.exe" 
     
     ' Path to Server Manager
     jarPath = "MrAssettoManager.jar"
     
     ' Java Runtime is installed
     Function IsJREInstalled()
         On Error Resume Next
         Dim strOutput
         strOutput = WshShell.Exec("java -version").StdErr.ReadAll
         If Err.Number = 0 And InStr(strOutput, "java version") > 0 Then
             IsJREInstalled = True
         Else
             IsJREInstalled = False
         End If
         On Error GoTo 0
     End Function
     
     ' Install Java Runtime
     Function PromptToInstallJRE()
         Dim intMsgBox
         intMsgBox = MsgBox("Java Runtime (JRE) is not installed on your system. Would you like to install it now?", vbYesNo + vbExclamation, "Java Runtime Not Found")
     
         If intMsgBox = vbYes Then
             ' Open the default web browser to the Java download page
             WshShell.Run "https://www.java.com/download/"
         End If
     End Function
     
     ' Install JDK
     Function PromptToInstallJDK()
         Dim intMsgBox
         intMsgBox = MsgBox("The required JDK version 19.0.1 is not installed on your system. Would you like to download it now?", vbYesNo + vbExclamation, "JDK Not Found")
     
         If intMsgBox = vbYes Then
             ' Open the default web browser to the JDK download page
             WshShell.Run "https://download.oracle.com/java/19/archive/jdk-19.0.1_windows-x64_bin.exe"
         End If
     End Function
     
     ' Java Runtime is installed
     If IsJREInstalled() Then
         ' Check if the local JDK exists
         If objFSO.FileExists(jdkPath) Then
             ' Run using the local JDK
             WshShell.Run """" & jdkPath & """ -jar """ & jarPath & """", 0
         Else
             ' Prompt to download JDK
             PromptToInstallJDK
         End If
     Else
         ' Prompt to install Java Runtime
         PromptToInstallJRE
     End If
