Surprise Login Competition - Season 1 [Login/Race]

[mplume]

I got the login to work. A funny thing is that as soon as I tried the link again, it gave me the track without the need to re-enter the login info...

But I strongly suggest a move to 1.05 - the 1.10 save bug hit me and the replay is empty. This is the first time it happened to me with a single race, before I've had it happen during championships.

There may be a workaround though: I've noticed that if I take a look at the replay during the race, I haven't had empty replays at the end.

Another possible option is to save the replay after finish but just BEFORE the results screen appears - the bug has always occurred to me only after the results screen.

However, I can't be sure that either of these two options are 100% working, that's why I suggest using 1.05.

I know this bug, the way to solve it is to do your race directly after hitting the start button. You can't save and alter your saved game with savegamereader or you'll have always have a blank replay when you save your game for the 2nd time.

It's not due to that, I started the race directly after hitting the start button. With 1.10b there's no need to alter the saved game since the starting positions are ordered by the order in the main menu.

Well I've got many reports about these bugs and I will do changes after test round. It means little break between test round and first round, but I'm happy that I made this test round, because now we can improve this competition before it even starts!

I will tell you more on monday and of course you will get results then .

[akouk]

sorry but I haven't got my login data

[FogoRJ]

I logged in, downloaded the track and the car. But , did not work in 1.05 and also 1.10!!!!!
My PC stopped and had to restart it. What to do?

[Vilkku]

Hello guys again! Sorry for being out of this thread as I've been out of home and now last two days I've been ill .

Finally I was able to do results (replays didn't work ):

First round will start next week. I think I will change for GeneRally 1.05 as it works better without bugs.

Then I have following questions to ask:
-Should race length be bigger (to reach 20km) ?
-Settings are ok?
-AI lvls are ok?
-Tell me if you find something to change.

@akouk: Is your e-mail written correctly in this topic, because that's where I sent it.

@FogoRJ: I'm sorry to hear that. We will start using 1.05 and hope it works for you.

That was a nice surprise, especially to see that my pit strategy worked even though I actually forgot to test the settings beforehand so I had to do the pitting decision during the race.

Then I have following questions to ask:
-Should race length be bigger (to reach 20km) ?
-Settings are ok?
-AI lvls are ok?

I think the race length is ok, the settings are nice. AI is good I think, they are enough of obstacles at least for me - of course it depends on the track and car.

[Vilkku]

Sorry guys. I've real things to do and this competitions is far away from my "have to do" list. I will let you know when I can restart this. Sorry.

[Vilkku]

-We will change for GR 1.05 to avoid any problems. I will add new files tomorrow here.
-First round's deadline is 08.05.2011 23:59:59 GMT. Login will be ready on next monday.
-I will send login info tomorrow for all who are missing it.

I just have a question (just regconised this).
You wrote that I was 1min over time limit. I'm sure that I only practised fewer than 8mins and then directly did my race.

Maybe downloading files + zipping files took so much time? I can recheck it again and see did I make mistake with your time.

[XYY]

okay. because I'm sure that I practised only 5min or sth and then started my race.
But I guess 1 minute wouldn't be more than a warning, right?

[Vilkku]

XYY, I rechecked your login time. Tell me if I made some stupid mistake here

You logged in xyy xx.xx.xx.xx 4 April 14:10.59 (21.11 Finland time)

I received your files date (päiväys) 4. huhtikuuta (april) 2011 21.32

= 21 minutes

Your race time was about 11min 35sec

21min-11min 35sec = 9 minutes 25sec

9 minutes 25 sec - 8 minutes = 1minute 25sec!

Hope this is enough clear ;D

[The MNZ]

Maybe he used 8min26 to "not race period" as instead of 9:25.

[XYY]

Strange, I was sure that I didn't use too much time, but if you're telling me

[Vilkku]

Okay guys!

New competition pack in first post. It's complete GR (v1.05) folder for this competition and it includes right settings, new official AI drivers (previous AIs retired ).

Login infos are now sent for those who were missing it. And of course for new driver(s).

Login is ready for Round 1 and you can race before 08.05.2011 23.59:59 http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time/s ... runner.php.

Have fun!

Question: will be the pack updated to the 1.10c?

[Vilkku]

Question: will be the pack updated to the 1.10c?

Well. I trust version 1.05 much more than 1.10x versions. I think we will go with 1.05, but if it cause problems, I will accept 1.10c. Is it ok for everyone?

[Hangman]

1.10? What's that? 1.05 all the way.

[akouk]
