Hawk I only have team Paints for the 990 hope that's Ok? :)
Hi Klax.
Yes. That's okay by me so long as it's okay by you, I'm easy on this one as I'll probably be spending most of my time on my ass. Hehe ;D
I`m in, why not...
I'm in!
/David "Gonzo" Boda #46
Well, I think I'll start.
I can take whichever bike I want?
No thank you, ill pass. Haven't really practiced from the onboard yet and is just too hard battling when i cant see where the others are. Once the Oculus Rift lands my desk ill be happy to join ;D
P.S. If that Ducati 996's sound hasn't been fixed it is not that nice if other people choose it because you won't hear anything else.

Hi Peter.
Just a query: When you say "Cockpit View Only", which cockpit view are you talking about because there is two cockpit views I believe?

Hi Peter.

Usually the "other" cockpit view (introduced with beta3) is called "tank view", as it is like a (gyro stabilized) camera fixed on the tank (i.e. no head movements).

Thanks for explaining that Max. I prefer the tank view than the other one were it tries to simulate head movement because that one makes me feel like throwing up after a while, and if I try it with Track IR 5 it's even worse.
Sorry but I must resign from this race. I have a problem with my PS3 Pad and I wanted to use it with cockpit view but at this moment it's not possible for me. It's not that I resign because there is cockpit only view, I just like more to ride on PS3 Pad ;)

had that too when I started to race onboard view - but you get used to it. And you can set
pitch and
tilt so that you like it... is very important.
btw guys, I think that it is VERY nice to see that so many people are willing to race on-board... I dream of having the vast majority of riders here on-board regularly.

If everyone rides onboard it's fair, but in a normal lobby/race it's impossible to follow 3rd person racers when you're riding onboard... :P This race is going to be epic :D

Couldn't agree more.
Wow - the practice races in this Cold Turkey server are just EPIC! Doing onboard only really makes for nice close battles - even in the rather heterogeneous 1000cc category. Just a great idea Peter (I would have bet that there might be 3-4 players maximum, but I am glad I am wrong). So thnx Peter and thnx to all the guys for the nice races... also (at least in general :P) very prudent racing - people can really stay back and pick the right situation for trying to overtake... just real nice racing going on atm (except for the odd core.exe), hope it continues (except for the odd core.exe :P )...

btw, I just did a real nice race vs JamoZ and kerazxo... real close racing - 1.2sec difference after 6 laps :)

I guess someone would have to upload the replays to the dropbox?

sounds logic ;) well, I might be wrong here, but I thought that it was a dibu-hosted server and it was uploaded automatically? at least I think I remember, in COTA we had replays of the test races from Cold Turkey server....

I've just uploaded the last replays.
I disabled automatic upload because I wanted to avoid bandwidth problems. Atm there are three different series at the racing server (Cold Turkey, Oldschool and Red Bull Rookies practice). If I upload a replay while people are racing at another server there will be lags.

np dibu, it makes perfect sense.... thnx for uploading! maybe we can stick to this system, that if we would like to get a replay that you provide it if possible?

yeah i saw you trying to connect too it several times, i cant help you other then restarting the server.
- bike mod 1.55 (without the scooters) is required.
- Brno GP track is required.
Hi guys, got "data missmatch" trying to connect to the practice server. I downloaded the latest bike mod and Brno GP. Do I have to delete all my other bike-folders (the scooters for example) and stuff to make it work? I rather not if it's possible to avoid.
Cheers.
/David "Gonzo" Boda #46
No, if server hasn't them installed (scooters) you shouldn't have any problem
Try downloading again the track.... pick the link from the first post of this thread
Hi again guys.
Downloading Brno GP from mega (link in first post), still can't connect. Data missmatch on all 1.55 servers. Tried different bikes, different paints, just using base on everything... but nothing. I can connect to the non 1.55 servers. Any ideas?
Cheers.

There is a investigation on why people have trouble connecting.
To be continued.......
*** edit ***
We cant pinpoint it at the moment.....whole server + dedicated servers are restarted.
feedback please.....
I have connected to the server fine takes a little while. But every replay I've tried to save to watch later is corrupt. :/
1st Post updated (http://forum.piboso.com/index.php?topic=692.0)
- Bikes Link updated to point to klax's Bike Mod 1.55
- Groove file for now removed
*** the Bikemod 1.55 does not include the new 600 mod yet ***
(try connecting without the new 600 mod, if you have any problems)
I've connected fine with 1.55 and 600 mods ;)

Thank god theres one person who can connect and play ;D
update about server:
Dibu has been busy and removed all the paints from the server.
He also removed:
- suzuki rgv500
- Yamaha R6
- triumph 675 daytona
So currently the server is as this:
- No groove file.
The following bikes are needed to connect to the server: (as seen in the 1st post picture + the Ducati GP12)
- aprilia rsv4
- ducati 996
- ducati gp8
- DucatiGP12
- honda cbr1000
- honda rcv213
- Suzuki-GSVR
- yamaha m1
So we could say its a very clean server, so try to connect too it and let us know about any problems.
whatever you and dibu did.... it helped - I had 0 core.exes in almost 2 hours of server time.... good job! :)
Nope, still can't connect... :(
Cheers
/David
Me neither.. :(
I'll reinstall the game tommorow. Maybe that will help..

if you cannot connect to the Brno but otherwise your game works ok and you can connect to other servers, it's most likely due to inconsistent track an/or bike data.... try dl latest Brno GP track and the bikes...

No need to reinstall the whole game !!!
1. Delete the Brno GP track.2. Delete all the 1000cc category bikes mentioned.- aprilia rsv4
- ducati 996
- ducati gp8
- DucatiGP12
- honda cbr1000
- honda rcv213

3. Download and install the Brno GP track.4. Download and install all the 1000cc category bikes.- aprilia rsv4
- ducati 996
- ducati gp8
- DucatiGP12
- honda cbr1000
- honda rcv213
- Suzuki-GSVR
- yamaha m1
5. Run the game and connect too server. Be patient cause it can take a while too login to the server.We cant make it any clearer then this.

Had a core.exe at race start, then couldn't get back on because the server was in race mode. :(
I think there is a big problem with the Multi Bike Mods.... I've never had so many core.exe crashes since I've had GP Bikes and this is the first time there has been a multi Bike mod race organised, with so many different bike mods included in a race, since the Multi Bike Mod was released.

I tend to agree Hawk, although some (including me) did not have one core.
So next race will be No mod bikes.
Arvoss thanks for hosting. And testing this out.
Sorry for leaving but its doing my head in and i did not feel like racing anymore.
hope who did had fun.

Well I was thinking it might be a good idea to maybe set a server for Multi Bike Mode use, but test it in race conditions but only using one type of MOD Bike at a time? This will test to see if it is the use of several Mod Bikes at once that is the problem, or whether it's simply MOD Bikes that are causing the problem?
Fucked up the start, sorry guys. Weird shit spinning around in classification screen during race, don't know what the hell that was. Screenshot points to My Piboso folder?!

See ya all next time... sorry again...

All those cores... Is it the bike mod or Brno? Never seen so many cores with the bike mod on another server.
It sucked that only 6 players managed to start/finish the race :/ Thank you Peter for this event. Cockpit only was a very good idea. Maybe I'll always play like that now! :D
But it was the closest/best race ever! 11 laps behind Stout, last 6 within 1 second and I passed him in the final corner. My heart beat went from 60 to 300 in the last corners lol
RESULTS + REPLAY
http://we.tl/T8X2cyDErQ
I had a huge lag spike when the lights when green then everyone shot ahead of me. Then slide in to the dirty and took forever to get back on track, once I did was kind of running alone the whole race.
Not sure what the problem is I didn't get any cores at all. But this time I was in-sync with everyone else. Not like other times were I am out of sync and have to retire because I can't see anyone.
Something is not right in the mod. We tried to host a 1000cc server earlier and noon could connect. Everyone had the same mod package and same track version. I never had any problems with the mod in the past...
ooooh where to start?
1) many thanks to Peter!!! you did much for this event... your last events were great. Now we took it a step further and tried multi-bike-mod.... dunno why, but obviously with 10+ guys on various bikes and many different ping levels - the multi-bike mod obvioulsy stretches the online coding too far atm .... ? but please dont be fed up Peter, your effort is much appreciated - it just didnt work out this time ;)
2) for those who didn't have many cores or not a single core: well, congrats to you... but I also didn't have a single core for the last 2 days I practiced at Brno.... I didnt change anything except adding skins.... so it seems to pretty random and it could be anyone having the cores....
3) strange things I/we observed: a)me and nuovaic always had core at the same time or within 1 sec after one another..... (like 5-6 times.... so coincidence unlikely) b) the guys with the higest pings had fewest cores..... kinda strange
4) congrats to Arvoss: nice epic race.... I will remember this race for the nice close and clean battles.... really like it should be. I didn't feel comfortable without the groove on hard tyres... so I feel like I did a bad race - but the result felt quite ok ;)
5) lust but not least: we somewhat betrayed Warlock.... he stayed with us the whole evening when people were having cores while he didnt have any.... when he started to have 1 core we didnt restart the race.... was not really fair to him - I guess we owe him one.....
Indeed, I felt sorry for warlock and the others :/ Tomorrow we can race again on Brno ;) Or on WRS :P I really hope this will be fixed in GP Bikes v1.0. Well, it has to be fixed before releasing a v1.0.

One thing that I noticed different than any other times I've participated in race events is, that it took a lot longer to connect than ever before. Maybe it was just me that was experiencing this, but it would be interesting if any of you guys had the same unusual experience while connecting.
Also. Once when I had a core.exe and then reconnected, everything seemed fine, I was connected, I could go on track and practice(In fact spent 10 mins riding around), etc, etc.... but then I wondered why no one else was out on the track...... I went to chat and could see others chatting away there so I typed something in, no reply.... Then I realised that even though I was connected I was obviously not there with you guys, out of sync with the server or something, I was in some sort of parallel virtual universe all on my own. LOL. Never had this happen before, although I believe Klax has had a similar experience at the start of a race two events ago?
But anyway, as Stout has said, at least we now know that at this stage of GP Bike Dev, that a Multi Bike MOD event is probably pushing things a little too far for now and we hope that Piboso can sort this issue out for next release.... In fact it may help Piboso to pinpoint the core.exe issue? Who knows. :)
Thanks Peter for hosting this event, and Arvoss for the backup..... it was a great idea, and for some it turned out okay, but at least we have revealed a problem that needs attention for the next release. Well done guys! ;)
After riding 8 laps behind Stout (6 within 1 second) I passed him in the last corner! :o

Recap of the Cold Turkey Brno GP.
- We had basically wright from the start of the event problems, within the first 15 min of practice the session was already lagging, meaning that one person would read 15:10 time left and another would read on the same moment for instance 14:30 time left, so the practice session lagged. This happens often but usually not in a practice session, normally it will begin displaying this behavior with qualifying session and certainly not that early. Was Strange.
- One after an other (or together started having core.exe's. And there where a lot of them. Why? MultibikeMod? Track?, Brno GP.grv? we dont know for sure. (ill come back on this further up in my report) We restarted Server more then ones, even switched from dedicated13 to dedicated12, which helped a bit in bringing the pings of some people down. At the end we tried it it with Arvoss hosting the event (ty very much), to see if it got any better, it did a bit but not totally.
- My thoughts:
* Multibikemod, would this be the cause off all the problems? I doubt it really, if that was the case we would have had data mismatches to start with.
* Brno GP track, the thing i noticed, this version seemed to have trouble with connection, you could get in but it took longer then we are normally used too. Before on the old Brno track (before it got smoothed) connection time was normal, but then again we did not use Multibikemod at that time.)
* Brno GP.grv file, i added it almost two weeks ago to the server, it seemed fine at first, but there where some riders having trouble with getting into the server, so in calibration with Dibu we had a look at the server and decided to clean house, Dibu installed only the 1000cc category bikes, got rid of obsolete ones, and got also rid of the Brno GP.grv file. After that the riders who had problems could get in again. For the Cold Turkey Brno GP race i used a new Brno GP.grv file. After which the shit hit the fan, they could get in fine but core galore >:(. If the Brno GP.grv was the cause of the many Core.exe i dont know.
Summary:
The only thing different from other events where, Cockpit view, the Brno GP.grv file and the multibikemod.
I would love to try this again, not officially organized but an on the fly test race with same settings and files but only on other track.
@Warlock
Mr. Warlock im truly sorry we did not restart the race for you, i should have stopped it, but i didn't, my poor excuse being that it was getting late, and that i was already fed up with the problems. I hope you will still attend an occasional event we organize.
pictures and stuff will be coming this week for the die hards who did race.

Don't worry Peter, count me in whatever event you create m8.
I 'm pissed because i
always hold on when others have problems, i had 1 single core and nobody seemed to care, except Stout who told it on the chat with no replies at all. In the future i will only take care of myself and my team mate. It's not your fault Peter, i understand your position as an organizer, but nobody else did anything to restart for me at least 1 time.
I did notice with the race, when it started. I got this weird lag, it shows it in my replay file but it's more extreme then what I actually saw but very similar. It wasn't where other bikes seem to hop because of ping. This was literal freezing, then frame goes back then freezes then things go back. Then all of a sudden it goes away totally, it happened right at the warm up then again right when the lights went green. Both times when the lights go green. I didn't get any cores during the event and server restarts, but I also restarted GP Bikes between each server restart not sure if that made a difference.
Here is my replay file, it shows the lag, but it is showing it worse then it was for me. The lag is lasting longer then it really did. I'm wondering if the cores have something to do with replays. Since several times when the server was up I got corrupt replay files. I save a replay every time I ride, so I can see what I am doing or what I can do better.
Here is the replay, when it was live the freezes were a little shorter and more rapid between freezes. Then all of a sudden it just went away and never happened again.
Replay File.

Just curious if we tried a server that didn't save a replay file and to see if anything different happens. At the same time it would suck not being able to have a replay without having to save it yourself. :/
