Release Notes
- a clean installation is strongly recommended
- replays are not compatible with the previous versions
- All modded bikes need to be updated because the tires physics data and models have been moved to the "tyres" shared folder
- The brake light setting in the file gfx.cfg has been renamed from "brakelights" to "brakelight"
- Temporary models are no used anymore. They can be deleted and reference to them removed from the file gfx.cfg
- Support for a dedicated onboard engine sound has been added. The sfx.cfg section name is "onboard_engine". The format is the same as "engine"
- Support for a dedicated engine limiter sound has been added. A sfx.cfg example can be found in MX Bikes and also the s_fs250 engine of Kart Racing Pro.
- It is now possible to use categories to better organize tracks. Simply create a new directory in the "Tracks" folder and move the tracks into it. The directory name should then appear in the "Testing Setup" and "Race Setup" pages
- GP Bikes now supports an external folder for mods, but only for bikes, tyres, helmets, stands, paints and tracks. The default path is "My Documents"/PiBoSo/GP Bikes/mods/ but it's possible to change it: http://forum.piboso.com/index.php?topic=18.msg79098#msg79098
- The network ports have been changed to try to be more compatible: http://forum.piboso.com/index.php?topic=35

MaxHud works too woohoo
Thanks P

Is a Mega mirror fine?
https://mega.nz/#!3dlykQYK!NnIyRLG9dqx8iO9bHOm_eAjLrUAD3K4gbkzrTpToxZs
I take it MOD bikes need to be reworked as it crashes trying to change from 990?
DD
EDIT cant use any mod bikes. Helmets and tracks seem fine
DD
First of all thank you :), when I look at gpbikes.ini I've a question.
Is the master server for beta12 really using port 54300 instead of 10500 ?
Good question a need to port forward virgin routers for the right one
DD
Why now the tire files in an other folder? ???
Where Blacky?
Could this be why b12 crashes with mod bikes?
DD
JUST saw it ty
But there are 2 files I cant find the hrc files for ftyre.hrc and rtyre.hrc? Or I could make the tyre folder..................bummer

All bike mods should be updated from the modders. Its a copy/paste work but very boring...
Don't forget to use the LAA hack to get the larger tracks
Especially Silverstone ;)
Wont be using b12 for the whole demo as need to use h's Ducati for clutch demo and to show 3D quality of MOD bike available plus other stuff
DD
If you don't do online races, B11 is a solid release !
My b11 is solid so prefer to ensure no cores in front of Dorna lol
80% of the way to getting a 916 into GPB...
Silverstone is also looking very promising
New Silverstone?
Release notes updated.
Just need to sort the track texture out.

It is recommended to export the models separately, but it's not strictly needed.
Has anything changed with the chain?
I have converted out 916 but the chain now spins around the Rear wheel piviot?

Nothing has been changed in the chain data.
Please note that only the tyres should be exported separately, not the wheels, the brake discs, the rear sprocket, the chain, ...
So there will now be a ftyre and rtyre model in the Tyre folder and then the rest of the wheel (rim, disks etc) stay in the Bike folder with the main bike model.
@Piboso
Tyre blur and dirt don't work. Neither the different textures (wet, etc)

Master server updated.
Seems to work fine now, thx !
Side note: the change in Cl of the murasama (0.00 now, was 0.09) is very noticeable on Victoria (last turn exit and whole final straight). Much better now I'd say.

Thank You for Update PiBoSo
i just reseting my operating system (Windows10 x64) and i download GP-Bikes Beta 12 then i clean install GP-Bikes Software, after finish the installation, i run GP-Bikes.....but i always get core.exe has stop working.
please help me
I dont think its a specific B12 bug, but i noticed it now.
When in game looking at the browse world screen i see in the caws #5 server under H categorie a C for cockpit only. Tthats oke.
If i do the same with the GP Bikes stats page and click on server i see on the same caws #5 server under H categorie an A instead of a C.
Varese500.. The stock setup uses hard tyres. when i change to soft tyres, hard tyres remain!
Seems good so far.. i like it! Not sure what changed exactly but braking feels refined. Everything seems a little bit more refined. Nice work. thankyou :)
Yeah - the tyres appear to be biting again more often when things get out of ehape, and everything just feels nicer in general on both the Varase and 916. Liking it. 8)
The menu's much snappier now too. :)
...and the wee dude's boots aren't flickering anymore.
Cheers Pib.
Thanks for the track glitch work as well. Much apprecciated. ;)
Ok the tyres do change but theres no colour indication anymore... all black, no red or white rings.
Slow speed handling much improved! :)
Anyone done a Compatibility 0 Install and figured out how to get the Mods to show?
If so pls advise tks.

Works fine for me: you point it to an existing folder and within this folder it will create a "gpbikes' folder under which you can put the mod folders (bikes, tracks, misc, tyres, rider).
Thanks Max.
Yeh I have done the .ini change to point it to a new Mods and it created the gpbikes folder so I stuck the Tracks, Bikes, misc and various paints in it but none are showing in game.
Wish these releases came with instructions other than how to uninstall it. ::)
Edit: Everything now working except tracks pfffffff. Must read "A guide to Programmers thought process" :D
Weird, all works for me (bikes, tracks, riders suits, helmets, stands and tyres).
Well all tracks are there and available in Testing but I only see CAWS #3 server on the World Page so I assumed it wasn't seeing all the tracks. But now maybe it is the other servers not using port 54300 to the Master. What do you think?

They may even be beta11 servers.
If you see the tracks offline, then you're good.

you got the correct misano version you need the GP one not the one we usual use ;)
Both Correct - Only Peter the Great has B12 servers! And yes was missing Misano GP that goes the wrong way round lol. ::)
Thankee ;)
whenever I click on 'World' to play online with the new beta, the game keeps freezing - to the point where i cannot even close it with taskmanager
i've made a fresh install without any mods.
everything works fine in offline testing
does somebody have and idea what it could be?
Did you open the new ports? UDP 54300 and 54310
GP Bikes beta12 released. - 2017/8/24
Changelog:
fix: memory optimizations
...
@PiBoSo could you please explain more about the memory optimizations?
When I look at the memory usage of beta12 dedicated servers there are big differences to the old ones.
- If one or more players connect, there is no significant increase of memory usage
- the memory usage stays quite low - 15-35MB
Are these settings in gpbikes.ini still valid?

that was it. working now thanks Nick.
btw, what exactly does the new folder path look like for mods? can't get them to work
Hard to explain on my phone but it is a little confusing.
http://forum.piboso.com/index.php?topic=18.msg79098#msg79098
The bit this does not make clear in the above is that when you have changed the. Ini to add the Mods folder and started the game a new folder will be generated inside this Mods folder called gpbikes. Put all the mods in there.
You dont have to create this mods folder but it is very useful for controlling where the Mods go. For example i can keep them off my SSD and on a bigger HDD

When the same model is loaded multiple times, an instance is created instead of duplicating it, as it was until Beta11.
No setting has been changed.
Do we need to do something differnet to get VR going in B12? I see the VR dlls are now included, but can't seem to get GPB to launch in VR.
Did you see that there are now two distinct executables ? Try to execute GPBikes VR
Thanks ;)
Where's the other exe?
This works http://forum.piboso.com/index.php?topic=5188.0

No, the alternative onboard view mode is not available in VR.
:'(
@Piboso
Will there be a patch to fix the beta 12 bugs soon?
Did some laps last night with a mate and we both noticed the track side white lines being very blurred about 5 to 10 meters out on some tracks, e.g. Silverstone 0.96 NDS all the way around and the pit exit lines on Aragon, Victoria was fine throughout. All other kerbs and barriers seemed fine.
The white line blurring is graphics card settings from what I remember
I have not had a chance yet to check but remember from older betas

Yes.... You need to set your "Anisotropic Filter" to a higher setting(I have mine set at 16x). ;)

That's it, thanks Hawk.

Glad you got it sorted mate. ;) 8)
You need to adjust this everytime you install latest video drivers if is set in windows video settings as it will be loaded in standard setup.
DD
I just set it in GPB and there's no issue as far as in your game profile (Nvidia, probably AMD works the same), if you have one, you let the application decide the setting.
I think would be cool to add optimal pressure and temp on settings page since all the bikes has they own tyres we dont need to know them all in memory and also help us find the base setup a lot faster

Stick it in the suggestions page mate.
PIBOSO - the 125 needs fixing it is practically unrideable STILL. New players will run a mile from this. Why wont you fix it, it must be hurting your game for the past years ????

Got to +1 this.
There are also a couple of visual thingies that are extra bad: the skydome in Victoria is something from an 8bit era (and if I recall correctly, any skydome in-game just looks that ugly) and the murasama stil l has that damn rear brake disc not centered properly (I know, I know, in 1st person you don't see it, but ....).
+10 on 125 for demo
Many people got introduced to GPBikes this weekend and it would be a shame to have them download the demo just to be VERY put off by this long term problem
DD
The 125 only needs higher grip on the front tyre. That's it.
+1 on the fix for the 125GP
Quote from: Alby46 on August 30, 2017, 06:22:55 AM

Or lower lean as it leans quite a bit at the moment, probably more than what you can IRL on a 125GP/Moto3 bike.
If you just handle it with few degrees less lean (more like real life) it's actually ridable and feels quite good :)
You can expect someone who has never played gpb to know any of this ffs
It has to WORK without any special knowledge or tricks!!!
It is simply bad for promoting GPB

DD
I know, that was not the point. The point is that the lean angle is probably the issue and if you just sort that out so it won't lean as much, the bike will probably be much nicer riding
If Piboso is finding it hard to find the time or inclination to sort the GP125 bike-physics out, then maybe Piboso will allow one of the modding teams to give it a once over?
At the risk of controversy I'd also suggest the same for all the other default-stock bikes too.... None of them have had their bike-physics particularly well tuned to reality.
Hawk.
VERY good point Hawky
After all if it is an original bike it wont matter who fixes it as long as Mr P agrees to it and it helps him.
After all that is why we all try to help each other here.
DD
Well I don't know how they are supposed to be compared to real life since I have never ridden one of those bikes.
But Varese and Murasama feel quite good with the new update. Compared to previous betas that is.

Haven't tried the varese yet, but I agree on the murasama: it feels quite OK to me compared to the previous betas.
Hi,
Not noted changes with murasama and varese.
At victoria on murasama all is ok but i tried at silverstone and my new track (not released yet) and i must put 0,0,0,0 to all suspension settings, if not, every gear change is a battle because the bike move very much.
But i like gpbikes like during all these years.
Thank piboso
Just to be a pain.. iv'e actually had some fun with the 125 so far in beta12 lol first time in a long time.. first couple of laps was same old.. but then after some adjustment and practice i had a whole lot of fun with it ;D i actually really enjoyed the challenge of setting it up. Just keep the suspension loaded as much as you can (Coast as little as possible) not saying it doesn't need improving but yeah i enjoy it ;D
is core.exe solved?is multiplayerlag solved because idont understand how you guys can get the motivation to drive with other players because stupid lag(all the other games works fine).great physics game but it needs new engine and all with it.bug free. only my opinion
Its just me, or player connection lag is worse now?
just had my first run with beta12 and the bikes feel way too stiff.
the front tucks out of every corner if you push the rear. i find controlled slides to be impossible.

Hi Vin
Was that on any particular bike or on all bikes in general? Same question for the track so we can see if we can repeat the problem and understand what's happening. :)
all bikes in general.
I do not see the paints of the helmets
Its a bug Davide you have to enter paint name manually in profile ini
DD
First time I can do a race with 17 riders in a dynamic track surface. I almost cried, lol (I'm 250/400 ping).
Really good improved, Piboso.
Between sessions, the lag I was having (no more than 10 seconds) disapeared once the next session started, so it is a very good point if lag starts.
Thank you.
Ping above 100 shows still stuttering riders. Replay watching is more steady less bouncing of bikes but still there.
Core.exe i think 1 in QP session, could be due too switching bikes before in practice session.
This was with Very High bandwidht setting (3) in the dedicatedserver.ini.
