Generally Hang On Short Tracks / Season 1 [R] [Login]

Post by Jo.sk »

Hello everybody :goodvibes:

I present to you my new championship : GHOST = Generally Hang On Short Tracks
This competition takes place only on short tracks (5 ovals + 5 sinuous tracks).

Version of GR to use : 1.10

Tracks
To be eligible a track must have :
- either a worldsize <= 100.
- or a length <= 200m.

Events
- Type : race.
- login system.

Car
- For each event you can choose freely a car in the GR 1.10 default cars.
- The driver and the 5 AIs must use the same car.
- For 7th round at Toowouxwu : I strongly advice you to use the sidamob, because it's the only car which is driven well by the AIs and it's also the fastest car on this track.

Settings
- Tyre wear : 9%
- Fuel consumption : 12%
- Fuel mass : 100 kg
- Damage : 15%
- AI cars : 5

Race Length (short race but in this type of track it's almost an endurance competition !)
- 4th event (Twayce) : 20km = 112 laps *
- 7th event (Toowouxwu) : 5km = 57 laps **
- All other events : 10km.

* the true distance is badly calculated by the game because there are 2 start/finish lines by lap, you must set the distance to 20km but the real distance will be 10km.
** because the track is very short and average speed very slow.

Schedule (Deadline / Track / Author / Type / Worldsize / Track length / Race length)
0) For each event you can run since May 8, 0h00 GMT !
1) May 19 : BVJO Speedway by Jo.sk and Benjamin Villeneuve (Oval, WS=100, 224m, 10km = 45 laps).
2) May 26 : Hakkarata by Trigger Happy (Sinuous, WS=70, 186m, 10km = 54 laps).
3) June 2 : Old Gully *** by Trigger Happy (Sinuous, WS=80, 194m, 10km = 52 laps).
4) June 9 : Twayce by Jo.sk (Half-oval, WS=100, 2x90m, 20km = 112 laps).
5) June 16 : Abcity by TuomoH (Sinuous, WS=80, 272m, 10km = 37 laps).
6) June 23 : Sqware by Jo.sk (Square shaped oval, WS=60, 167m, 10km = 60 laps).
7) June 30 : Toowouxwu *** by Dan Hakulín (Sinuous, WS=50, 89m, only 5km = 57 laps, adviced car = sidamob).
8) July 7 : Short Stadium by Jo.sk (Oval, WS=110, 192m, 10km = 53 laps).
9) July 14 : Akiram 1418 by Trigger Happy (Sinuous, WS=90, 267m, 10km = 38 laps).
10) July 21 : Eight by Jo.sk (Eight shaped oval, WS=100, 222m, 10km = 46 laps).

Warning : each deadline is Saturday evening 23h59 GMT.

*** modified track, but I have the authors' permission.

Points (reverse order : the goal is to have the few number of points as possible, like golf)
- Points (N = number of drivers) : 1st = 0pt, 2nd = 2pts, 3rd = 3pts, ... , last = Npts, DNS = (N+1)pts.
- Bonus : best lap = -1pt, victory against all AIs = -1pt.
- DNS : the drivers/teams/nations are considered as DNS for each round where they didn't start.
- in case of tie : classification by login date and hour.

Championships
- Drivers : sum of each events.
- Teams : 1 or 2 drivers by team, points of the best driver for each event + the bonus points of each driver.
- Nations : points of the best driver for each event + the bonus points of each driver.
- Cars : 2pts (win) + 1pt (podium) + 1pt (top5) + 1pt (top10) for each drivers + 1pt (best lap).
- In case of tie : classification by last race result.

- Ovals : sum of each events raced on ovals.
- Sinuous tracks : sum of each events raced on sinuous tracks.

IMPORTANT : if the previous link doesn't work, please try this alternative login : http://gwr.toile-libre.org/Login/
2) you will receive a racing code with 2 letters.
3) create a human driver with your nickname (only the 10 first letters if it is too long) and the racing code (if your nickname is "Test" and the racing code is "B6" then the driver name must be "TestB6").
4) select your driver first and the AIs after.
5) start your race (position on starting grid is free).
6) when the race is finish and results appear : hit F11 to take a screenshot, and save your game.
7a) rename the files (example for the 5th event if your nickname is "Test") : Test05.gam (savegame) and Test05.bmp (screenshot).
7b) you can (but it's not mandatory) zip these two files in Test05.zip
8) send an email with the savegame + screenshot or with the zip file to joskgr@gmail.com

Warning :
- if you request the racing code of the same event several times, only the first login date/hour will be take in consideration.
- you have "your race time + 5min" between the login and the email, else it will be a "late submit" and you can be penalised.
- it's forbidden to restart the race, to cut the track, to use wallbouncing, to cut by the pits if you don't stop.
- when you enter or exit the pits you must follow the same way than AIs (on the 2 following tracks you have to follow the blue and red lines to enter and exit the pits : BVJO Speedway and Twayce).

Situation about cutting on each track, possibility : to cut the track / to cut by the pits
- Abcity : NO / NO
- Akiram : NO / NO
- BVJO : NO / YES* (by passing to the left of the tyres in turn 1, but it's probably impossible to save time)
- Eight : NO / YES** (if you pass through the pits without stopping)
- Hakkarata : YES*** (save time is probably impossible) / NO
- Old Gully : NO / NO
- Short Stadium : NO / NO
- Sqware : NO / YES* (if you pass through the pits without stopping)
- Toowouxwu : NO / NO
- Twayce : NO / NO

* : no time penalty if it is the consequence of an accident with AIs and if you don't save time.
** : time penalty, depending to the time saved and recidivism.

- 1st time (little mistake which do not affect the results) : warning.
- 2nd time or more or results affected : time penalty depending to the mistake or BOP (back of the pack).

I will take part to the championship.

In fact I didn't play to GR since more than 2 years.
With a so long break, I think it's impossible to win the champ or to have a good final classification (my training was ... :? ).
The only purpose is to reach 600 events in my career (currently 591) :D

6th driver : Trigger Happy :bg:

He allows me to edit the 3rd track (Old Gully) : the 6 jumbled pits have been replaced by only 2 separate pits.
Please reload the pack. The definitive pack will come this evening (only some details can change), after the competition will be able to start !


IMPORTANT : The edited version of Toowouxwu (89m) will be the shortest closed track of GR history, the previous record was UC Park with 93m.
2 tracks were shorter but they are not closed tracks but "rally stages" :
- Final Round Drag, 57m
- FirstRun Combo 02, 75m

Definitive version of GHOST Pack and Rules are ready !
Warning : read carefully the rules before your first login.
You can login and run each event since now and before the corresponding deadline.
Everybody who are interested to run can sign up until the end of the season.

Final updates :
- After a lot of tests (thanks to Herbal) I reduce the AI driver skill from 100/90/80/70/60 to 90/80/70/60/50.
- Car : you can use all the cars even the McTurbo. For 7th round at Toowouxwu I strongly advice you to use the sidamob, because it's the only car which is driven well by the AIs and it's also the fastest car on this track (but if you want to use another car you can...).
- Number of AIs : 5 for all events (including the 7th round at Toowouxwu).
- Race length for 4th event at Twayce : 20km = 112 laps (the true distance is badly calculated by the game because there are 2 start/finish lines by lap, you must set the distance to 20km but the real distance will be 10km).
- Race Length for 7th event at Toowouxwu : 5km = 57 laps.

The races duration should be approximately :
- 5min ±1min for ovals.
- 7min ±1min for sinuous tracks.

Welcome to Akouk ;)
and to my new team mate

Little precision about points calculation for teams and nations :
For each event a team or nation scores the points of its best driver + bonus points of each driver.

Example :
- NationA with DriverX, DriverY and DriverZ.
- Results : DriverX = 4th + Best lap + Win vs AIs / DriverY = 5th + Win vs AIs / DriverZ = 8th.
- The best driver is DriverX (4th) then the nation scores 4 points (for his 4th position).
- The nation also scores the bonus points : -2 for DriverX (Best lap and Win vs AIs) and -1 for DriverY (Win vs AIs).
- Finally the score for NationA is : 4 - 2 - 1 = 1pt.

Reminder : it's a reverse order point system (like golf), the less you have, the better it is.

Important announcement :
I've just found a problem with the AIs on the BVJO Speedway. Sometimes (but rarely) an AI can be struck by another one, miss the pit entrance and stay on the track. There it can cause many accidents and ruin your race, then to avoid this situation I made an update of the track. You can download it HERE, please replace your current version of the track by this one (the game pack has been also updated).

What is the update ?
The track is exactly the same, except one detail : I simply added many "sunk tyres" just behind the back straight wall (they are almost invisible), and with these tyres the AIs which miss the pit entrance can go to the pits by jumping the wall !

Sorry, I hope it is the last update :sweatdrop:

I will be tolerant but you should rename your files like that (example for 5th event) : puttz05.gam and puttz05.bmp and you can also zip these two files in puttz05.zip

Precision about pit stops :
To cut the track is forbidden, then when you enter or exit the pits you must follow the same way than AIs.
