GPL - Are You on VROC or iGOR Tonight? - Page 2

pirenzo · 11 Feb 2003, 15:47 (Ref:503445)

No!:confused:

pirenzo · 11 Feb 2003, 15:51 (Ref:503447)

Anyway, something wierd has happened. In GPL, everything is happenning at superspeed, the gear changes are quicker than a modern F1 car, i'm worried something seriously sinister is happenning.

It's like the game is on fast forward, and i don't like it one bit, it's like playing wipeout.

**Aysedasi** · 11 Feb 2003, 16:55 (Ref:503497)

Pirenzo - have you installed the CPU speedfix?

®îjñtjûh - just delete your Cooper folder and substitute it with the one which you backed up before trying to install the new Cooper......

You did back up, didn't you.........?

Yeah i uninstalled and reinstalled everything and it's working perfectly now.

pirenzo · 11 Feb 2003, 17:12 (Ref:503517)

No, but at any rate a simple restart of the game solved the problem, i dunno what happened, but it's fine now:confused:

**Aysedasi** · 11 Feb 2003, 18:12 (Ref:503572)

Ah well. You might as well apply the speed fix anyway - it won't hurt your installation even if its not needed and it has the advantage of making GPL a No-CD necessary programme.

pirenzo · 12 Feb 2003, 13:34 (Ref:504429)

Sorry, but i didn't make it to the race last nite cos WinVROC won't log in. I deleted the file you said a few days ago on ®îjñtjûh's recommendation when i had that particular error, but the one i'm getting now i that my version of WinVROC might be out of date, and to ckeck the VROC MOTD to see if this was the case, or my SOCKS proxy settings are wrong, or somehting else.

When i went to the MOTD thing i got a blank white window and a flashing cursor, and i've no idea where to find out about my SOCKS proxy settings cos i don't know what they are or if they apply to me.

**Aysedasi** · 14 Feb 2003, 07:55 (Ref:506175)

We are going to have to get this sorted out for you pirenzo. What does MOTD stand for - I thought that was "Match of the Day"! I also have no idea about proxy settings or SOCKS (apart from the special pair I wear to drive!), I didn't have any of these problems when I installed VROC?

pirenzo · 14 Feb 2003, 08:06 (Ref:506187)

Well, i spent about an hour trawling through the help menus in VROC, and on their site, and finaly got it to work. I'd been recommended to install the VROCip program, which i downloaded, and then realised that i already had it. It turned out that whilst i had the program, i hadn't run it. I ran it and hey presto it worked!

**Aysedasi** · 14 Feb 2003, 08:35 (Ref:506202)

Ah, excellent. So you'll be with us for the first time for practice (and practice race) on Sunday afternoon?

Damon · 14 Feb 2003, 11:17 (Ref:506316)

What time is it on sunday?

**Aysedasi** · 14 Feb 2003, 12:14 (Ref:506385)

2.00 p.m., if I remember rightly. I hour praccy and then a race.

pirenzo · 14 Feb 2003, 13:30 (Ref:506475)

Sure.

**Spudgun** · 17 Feb 2003, 20:30 (Ref:509872)

I'm off to get some practice in for Spa.

I'm hosting an open race as of now with max drivers of 10.

30 minutes practice, int short.

Maybe see you there.

**Aysedasi** · 17 Feb 2003, 21:32 (Ref:509942)

Damn. Missed that.

pirenzo · 17 Feb 2003, 21:34 (Ref:509944)

same here.

**Spudgun** · 17 Feb 2003, 21:35 (Ref:509945)

You didn't miss much.

Damon got discoed and all the people who joined couldn't keep the car on the track for more than two corners.

To top it off the phone rang at the end of practice so I missed the start sequence and had to start from the pitlane.

pirenzo · 17 Feb 2003, 21:48 (Ref:509963)

What a nightmare. I would have ignored the phone though.

Damon · 17 Feb 2003, 22:21 (Ref:510002)

So irritating. I set a 3m18.20 on one run but it didn't register in the player ini 'cos I got booted

. Then I was on a lap that felt even quicker (on Spud's server) and got booted on the run to La source. Oh well, at least I know I've got it in me.

Number Juan · 17 Feb 2003, 22:26 (Ref:510012)

Damon, if you actually register a time and see it accurately on the pit-board - then in my opinion, that gives you justification to change it yourself through altering the .ini file...i know i've had to do it many times through being booted off of VROC or my game crashing at home.

pirenzo · 17 Feb 2003, 22:29 (Ref:510015)

Speaking of fast laps, on my Spa program cover it says lap record 3m18.xx Aysedasi

By the way, i never found out who won that race, was it you or Ayse?

Damon · 17 Feb 2003, 23:01 (Ref:510036)

I won the praccy race.

**Aysedasi** · 18 Feb 2003, 08:28 (Ref:510290)

No chance of it being me, I made far too many mistakes - thought I was sitting pretty - 2 seconds up at the end of L1 but then I blew it at Blanchimont. I made so many mistakes after that, even when I had the chance to take Damon out I made yet another crass mistake......

pirenzo · 18 Feb 2003, 13:28 (Ref:510487)

I knew it was either AC or Damon

**Aysedasi** · 18 Feb 2003, 13:55 (Ref:510515)

Chances are I'll be on VROC for a while tonight if anyone else is around, from 7-ish, if all goes to plan.
