Surprise Login Competition - Season 1 [Login/Race]

Post by Vilkku »

Surprise Login Competition


Login: grslc.hostoi.com - REMEMBER TO DOWNLOAD SLCv3 pack BEFORE LOGIN

You can use GeneRally 1.05 or 1.10c versions.

What is this competition?
Surprise Login Competition is new competition by me. Drivers use surprise tracks and cars, which means you can't know tracks or cars before you login. This competition is race-competition, so it includes AI-drivers. It makes racing more interesting and harder (don't worry, AI skill isn't super good). Race length depends on track, but average length is 10-15 minutes. Everyone is welcome! Tracks and cars could be normal on-road tracks, off-road tracks and maybe others. I can't tell you exactly what we have :shhh: .

Racing schedule:
We have one test round to make sure everything works great. Race calendar includes 6 rounds. If this competition shows up to be successful, we will see more rounds in future seasons!

Deadlines:
23.59:59 GMT http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time/s ... runner.php
T.Test round 10/04/2011
1.Round 08/05/2011
2.Round 15/05/2011 (Results will be uploaded 06.06.2011)
3.Round - after pause -
4.Round - after pause -
5.Round - after pause -
6.Round - after pause -

EDIT: I decided to stop this competition until I find my motivation back. We will continue for Round 3 after this little pause. I'm very sorry but didn't expect this hard motivation drop when I started this competition :( :vsad:

Remember that you will get your race track when you login and do your race!

Point system:
1.20p
2.15p
3.12p
4.10p
5.9p
6.8p
.....
And everyone who race gets 1p
Fastest lap: 1p

Race settings:
Tyre wear: 9%
Fuel consumption: 7%
Fuel Mass: 30 Kg
Damage: 18%
Race length: 18 kilometers
Login time: Race length + 8minutes

Login and race:
When you are mentally and physically ready to do your race, follow next:
1.First you have to login. You will get your login username and password in e-mail.
2.Login here grslc.hostoi.com REMEMBER TO DOWNLOAD SLCv3 pack BEFORE LOGIN
3.Unzip your download .zip to your GeneRally folder. .car file to Cars folder and .trk to Track folders.
4.Make sure your settings are right. Select your driver first and then 3 AI.
5.Remember that your login time is Race length + 8 minutes. It means you have little time to practice, but it's your own responsibility!
6.Now you have finally done your race. Do next:
a) Save your game and name it for example: Yourname_Round1. DO NOT USE _ mark with 1.10b Generally
b) Take screenshot with F12 from results which appears after race.
7.After that collect your files from Saves- and Screens-folder and zip them and name it for example: Yourname_Round1
8.Send your file to: grslco@gmail.com

Please remember that you are not allowed to tell tracks and cars for anyone before results are online!

Penalties:
Wrong track or car: DQ
Wrong settings: Depends how badly, I will decide it after race.
Late submit: Depends how much, from warning to dropping 20 positions in results
Shortcutting: Some tracks maybe allow little shortcutting because of checkpoints and flat track. You are not allowed to keep your 4 wheels off the track (shortcutting from inside). If you do that many times (sometimes 1 is enough), you will get penalty!
Cheating: Banned of competitions for some time.

I've never liked rules like these. The checkpoints should be enough. :P

And only 8 minutes on top of the race time? Almost no time for training... I guess that's the idea but I'm afraid the more inexperienced drivers are at disadvantage then.

But I have to admit I'm interested anyway. :D

Well, it's always hard to make right rule about shortcutting, but I will try to avoid possibility for shortcutting. :scratch:

We can still make discussion about that 8 minutes. But as you said, that's the idea. It's always hard to make fair enough, but I'm sure new drivers will get experience from this competition.

Glad to hear that you are interested :bg:

That would mean you have to drive off-road all the time :P
And if you have 8min practice - in this time you can't even make a complete run :shout:

I will fix my spelling errors after night :roll:

About 8min practice + file sending. That's the idea. You can start your race and if you do mistake, you can still restart it if you haven't driven a lot yet. It's up to drivers.

@ Tuomo: GRO (e.g. Le Mans) used rule, that shortcutting is, when all 4 wheels are off the track (at least one have to stay on road, not sure if including or excluding kerbs) - not primarily checkpoints. I personally follow this interpretation together with looking if it was intentional or mistake. It allows me slightly decrease number of ''punishments'' of drivers for mistake by loosing a lap because of not needing so strict checkpoints. :shrug:

BTW I'm in surely too.

I prefer making the checkpoints so that you can't miss them but still without the possibility of shortcutting and gaining time by that. ;)

When will your compo start? I just need a circa time.
And I guess in the test round no points will count, right?

I think test round will start in 1-2 weeks if we get enough drivers.

And no points from test round, because it's just test round.
