Quote from Pantera70 :

Here are the skins for ICON Racing...

Thanks Darren!

Yes, a message when you finish would help you understand why you got spectated. Would it be possible to give them their finished time on screen too? Like:

EQW : SPECTATED AFTER FINISH (could I edit that to this "2 Laps complete - [Username] spectated"?)
TIME : (Race time including penalties) (or a /rcm type message of their race time)

I know their time is already placed in the leaderboard but, the first few times it happens, you don't really know what's happening, so you look up for any messages or warnings from the admin/server.

And I agree with you about the suggestion of spectating people with too high a penalty. It would not help new comers get to grips with the course. So, no, I don't think I'll go for that idea.

Anyway, thanks for dropping in and having a go at the course and I look forward to the next Airio releases.

Thanks again!

EQ, man, thanks a lot for your help getting this server running with Airio. I decided to stop naggin' you on MSN, I was still getting disconnected up until Sunday, so I thought I'd waited until 500servers had the 2.3.3 update. When I updated to Airio 2.3.3, I uploaded my files and everything ran perfectly. When I get a few euros I'll definately drop you a donation. Thanks again.

Yeah, this is probably the trickiest challenge yet. You really need to get used to where the gates are on these courses before you can start pushing it. For the first time I'm using restricted areas on some of the gates, it'll make people try a bit harder to get each gate.

Anyway, thanks again for sharing your great program and teaching me in the process, really appreciate it!

Quote from HEAVYSET :

Woohoo!! Top 25. And under 3 minutes.

Nice one! Thanks for dropping in.

Quote from Minimaxman :

Only really had time for a bunch of runs, shame as it was a nice track!

Thanks, lets see how you like the next one, it's a lot trickier!

Quote from brt900 :

looks fun may have to try it one time

If you do like it I think you may try more than one time, hehe.

Cone Challenge #4

South City Sprint 1 Reversed

44 gates




So, here it is, my fourth cone challenge. It's at South City Sprint 1 reversed and is, like the first city challenge, more difficult than the previous two challenges. On this layout I am using restricted areas on the wrong side of some of the gates. It helps me use less objects and makes the course a lot cleaner. If you get spectated then you went somewhere you shouldn't have been.

So, get yourself out there and get the feel for the layout.

Good Luck!




You can find all my layouts and some setups at Setupgrid.net. (CC1-CC4)

EDIT: The server is now running Airio 2.3.3.

I made a mistake in the results last week. I wrongly gave [SR] junksy / junkan 20pts for 3rd position, it should have been only 10pts. On paper I had 10pts but for some reason I typed in 20. The results above should be correct now. Please do check them for mistakes and if there are any I will adjust them as necessary.


Thanks to all for competing.


New layout coming soon!

Ok, so 500servers.com had a physical move of servers and the Cone Challenge server was reset, so no leaderboard for this one...

Anyway, WWCC week 3 is starting early this week as I wont be here at 12pm.

So, check it out and good luck!

So, here's the results of the second WWCC which was at Fern Bay Club reversed. A lot of peole liked this layout and once again Rudy van Buren got top spot, by almost a second. Two of his team mates managed to keep CR|troy out of the podium spots to make it a 1, 2, 3 for team [SR]. Well done lads.

WWCC Week 2 has just started...

Good Luck!

Ok, so the second Weekly Weekend Cone Challenge, at Fern Bay Club reversed, has just begun on the Cone Challenge server.

I decided to run the challenge up until Sunday at 10pm now, as I know a lot of leagues run at around the 6pm time. This will give people time incase they have to come and get themselves back into the top ten for some points!

I've been testing Airio on the server the last couple of days, and with the help of EQ Worry we have come up with some new features, all I had were ideas, EQ did the business. Unfortunately I've been disconnected for so long this week I haven't had enough time online to get it running correctly. So I wont be using it over the weekend.

Anyway, if you think you can handle a RWD, come to the Cone Challenge server and see if you can make it into the top ten!

Good Luck and Have Fun!!

Cheers

Man, been disconnected, just got back online. Thanks Franky!

Ok, so, this week has been a bit messy with the server restarting, me testing/locking the server and then me being offline.

I have now a test Airio running on the server. EQ Worry has done an amazing job and has given me permission to run 2.3.3 as a test. For now I'm running Airio from my machine until it's ready to go.

Anyway, if you'd like to take a few runs and see what you think of the server with Airio running things then the password is: kanerx

There are some problems with 500servers cpanel so I can't change anything there, for the moment.

The WWCC will run tomorrow as usual, I'm sure everything will go ok.

Also, I've attached the other leaderboard for this week, yeah it's messy I know, but hey, it can only get better! The replay I took this from was dated 11/08/09. I did try upload the replay but it's 2hrs long(7MB), too large to upload, sorry.



I will be afk for a while, so I can't answer any questions just yet.

Yeah, some problems with cpanel here too.

"Could not connect to the master monitor." - When I click Game Servers I get that message.

...and...

"Object reference not set to an instance of an object." - When I try create a support ticket.

Because, when I found out about the restart, I went back to my replay folder and got the last replay before the restart, screenshot the leaderboard and there you see it.

I'll tell you now, some time after the retsart, when I was on, someone got a 50.xx. I'm a bit busy now but I will be posting that leaderboard. He got it in the LX4 too.

Ahh, broadband issues, been offline today and yesterday, couldn't get anything done. Should be ok for Friday, as long as I have a connection!

Server is passworded, just doing some testing with Airio on Server.

Ok, so I don't know what happen the server but the leaderboard got reset somehow. Luckily I auto save replays when I'm on so I can post the leaderboard from before the reset.

Sorry about that lads, out of my control.

Quote from Minimaxman :

Was the leaderboard reset on purpose?

I have been afk for a while, not sure how that happened but I know Franky500 has been doing some stuff, so the server must have been reset. Damn, all those times gone. Just hope it doesn't happen the weekend.

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :

Hey, this layout is mint!:dazzersmi

Yeah, people seem to like this one more. Thanks!

Glad you enjoyed it Ant, thanks.

Thursday midnight (GMT+1) I set the server to the chosen car(s) and the leaderboard is reset.

Yes, I like the sound of this.

I'll see if anyone from iCON will be up for this.

LFS - U4IK ST8
Driver - iCON KANE
Team - iCON Racing

Quote from Vendetta :

Perfect track choice It's better when there are some changes in elevation, and this new layout is just as fun as the old one.

Thank you!

Quote from Drift King CZ :

1st place with LX6, so far... 0:51.49 fastest lap, 1:46.27 total time. Too bad I won't be here on Friday.

Nice time, lets see how long you last up there!
