Yeah, I didn't think it was necessary to mask the password field since the program's only running on your computer.

No, because AI's still use the same lfsusername as the person that called them, so there's no real way to distinct between two AI's called by the same person. It might work if used with playernames enabled in the program, but you would have to test that.

If you need nothing on the disk, I would download Ultimate Boot CD so that you can Boot and Nuke the new drive. http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/
This way you can get rid of the windows on the new disk and remove a variable in all of this. It's possible that the drive is still conflicting some how, but not sure how.

Damn, forgot to put the check on that button. Will fix later. Glad that it's working well for you.

Those don't work if it's not connected to a multiplayer server. That's one of the limitations of the program at this time, working on fixing that. They work just fine in a multiplayer server though.

hey the link aint working for me just saying IE cannot open this page or somthng plz help i want this lol

Try again, I was working on my server.

Quote from DieKolkrabe :

Odd. Debug is set to true. No error.txt

You set the Replay option to false to connect it to a multiplayer server, right? Also, what is the console saying when you start it? Also, you have to allow sufficient time for the program to get lap data from cars when they cross the finish line.

Could you please quote the error.txt file found in the folder. If there is none, could you please turn the debug option in config.ini to true and write down what it does.

I don't think there would be space in the Ticker, but could do so in the middle-of-screen listings, sure. I'll put that in the list.

That you'll have to find out from your server provider or the server's setup.cfg file. After that, you don't have to do anything, the program has no other commands except for the ones detailed in the readme.txt.

look in the config.ini file. that's where you put in your ip, port and admin pass.

As long as people are using the programs, that's enough for me :P

On second thought, it'd be nice if people signup for my league. Though, right now it's being restructured, as there's far too many GTR leagues.

You just unzip the file to anywhere you want, open the config.ini file and fill out the details, then start it.

The Track Position Ticker was originally developed to help racers who are participating in events on the Autocross track to know what position they are in at any given moment, but will work with any track. The program resembles the live event broadcast tickers that many TV channels display on the top of the screen.

As usual, please leave any ideas, criticisms and suggestions as they help improve the program.

Big update time:
The ability to choose between PlayerName and UserName has been added to the program. This was a big request from numerous people, and I've finally gotten around to adding this for all of you. Enjoy and please test to make sure it's working well. Download is in the OP, if you've installed a previous version, the next time you start the program, it should automatically update itself.

I might add that for the next iteration.

Same with me, K. Burns.

Yeah, they can race as long as they find another person to race with. But a team cannot be only one person.

The rules are pretty similar to IGTC, so as long as you know those at the beginning, you'll be fine.

Quote from banshee56 :

Kevin,

Can a team have multiple entries? And can we enter with drivers TBA at this time?

I think that'll depend on the amount of registered teams. Similar to what IGTC does, if there are fewer than 30 teams signed up, then we could consider allowing teams to have multiple entries. Of course, I'm hoping that signups fill up so that we don't have to have multiple team entries though .

Sure, you can enter with drivers TBA, and then when you re-submit the registration form again with your decided drivers, I'll merge the two together.

Signups are now open. Go to the league's website, linked above, and you'll find it under Division F of the Rules and Regulations.

Quote from hyntty :

Sounds complex. So in sprints and qualifying teammates drive in different sessions? Is the 'endurance' a car sharing race then?

I'm presuming it's gtrs? Any balancing on them? Any idea of tracks that will be used?

All of that is already on the website

But yes, each driver has a sprint and qual session.

Signups now open

The Supercar 500 Challenge is a new series with a unique format. Run semi-annually, the series meetings include qualifying, sprint, and feature sessions. The winning team of a race meeting has the opportunity to defend their winner’s title at the next meeting.

Meetings take the following format: each team consists of two (2) drivers, defined as “Driver A” and “Driver B”. In the qualifying and sprint race portions of the meeting, all teams’ drivers are divided into sessions based on their “A” or “B” status. The qualifying sessions last for 20 minutes and set the grids for 75 km (~20-minute) sprint races. In the course of the sprint races, either the “A” OR the “B” driver must make one (1) compulsory pit stop. This requirement adds complexity to the qualifying process, forcing each team to determine which driver should sacrifice time to make the stop.

The starting grid for the next day’s 500 km endurance race is set by the combined points scored by each team’s two drivers in the sprint races.

________________________________________________

I'd like to use this intro thread to get an indication of the level of interest for this league. It'll have full Safety Car periods (if they're needed), warmup lap to the grid, standing starts and pitstop complexity. Signups will open on thursday, March 19th. The link to the registration form will be posted on the website in the appropriate place in the rules section. I'm hoping there will be interest in this league idea. Also, if you guys show interest, Victor will give me a subforum .

EDIT: Forgot: Eireann go Brach!!

If you still can't find someone to broadcast for you, look up lfsusername Knight_Atack. He's going to be broadcasting my league, it might be good practice for him to do it for you as well.

Needs to be handler.ShowButton(<button name>, <connection ID>);
You can't send the button to a playerID, only the connectionID or send to all by putting false.
