Hi,
I noticed that I can join a beta5 online server from the GPB servers page (http://stats.gp-bikes.com/servers.php (http://stats.gp-bikes.com/servers.php)), but only with Firefox. Chrome and IE do not work.
Chrome, and it is indeed launching the core.exe, but core.exe exits immediately.
I've noticed that if in Firefox I right click on the "Join" line of a server and then paste the text in an editor I get this:
gpbikes://217.92.97.79:24189/192.168.95.59:24189/Track%2019/0/Victoria//GP1000/GP125/GP125%20Cup/GP500
If I do the same from Chrome and IE, I get this:
gpbikes://217.92.97.79:24189/192.168.95.59:24189/Track 19/0/Victoria//GP1000/GP125/GP125 Cup/GP500
Maybe that explains why it doesn't work with Chrome and IE.
MaX.
For me it does not work with FF either. If I click on "join" there comes a message from firefox (which I cannot translate 1:1) but it says something to the extent of "Adress not detected. Firefox does not know how to open the adress as it is not a registered protocoll..."
Reinstall GPB and allow it to register the protocol (check the case when the installer asks).
MaX.
For me, with FF launches the game, but nothing more, just opens the game
Have you tried starting the game leave it running drop back to windows then click the server link
That only launches the game twice , i mean it launches a new instance of the game
Yes sorry I see what you mean I had not noticed 2 games running
The track % is wrong it was 2019 the last time I connected
np, thanks for trying to help
The %20 you see is show a space character is translated in +URLs. There's something broken somewhere around that ...
@Warlock: go on the server page with FireFox and right click on the "Join" and in the popup menu select "Copy link address", then paste (ctrl-v) it here: what do you have ?
MaX.
I've fixed it. Im online now
I checked the box to remember to launch with core.exe. Then go to FF options/applications and change it from 'core.exe' to use 'c/program files etc ..connect 1%'
thx for help ;)
there no problem hornet the %20 represent a space in some navigator so it's the same link ;)
And me i can't join and i've windows 8 & yesterday Alibaskins had the same problem and he has windows 8 too , so it's maybe the same problem for some of you :) !

There's definitely a problem as with Firefox it works and with Chrome/IE no (GPB starts and exits immediately).
The %20 in the urls is normal, but they way it is passed from the browser to the core.exe seems to be different depending on the browser, hence the problem.

new problem this morning link delete first letter of the track ;)

Yes. this is bad link address and file naming practice. Link addresses should always be created without spaces, same for file names when programming. If you require a separator in a filename or link address it should always be represented by an underscore "my_link_address", or "my_file_name", or as a compromise, "MyFileName", otherwise a "%" will be placed in the address which are not always recognised.

normaly it's recognyse by chrome or firefox , for explorer don't know ...

Agreed. ;)
IE is the browser that seems to be the lame duck as far as keeping it's code up to date especially lacking in keeping up to date with the latest elements of HTML5 and procedures... Very poor. ::)
Hawk.
Yes for programmation that's out of date , it's always the bad part to adapt a code just FOR THIS POOR navigator

That's not entirely true. Not using spaces at all is the lazy approach. But you can have spaces essentially everywhere (including in URLs), you just have to follow the guidelines for allowing these to be passed along properly.
E.g. : blabla.exe -c yuppie -f "yuppie doo.txt"
For URLs, the spaces are replaced by %20.

I admit not using spaces at all is a lazy approach but I did state that was a compromise(To qualify it this time - "for the lazy people"). :P
Yes, you can have spaces anywhere you like, I didn't say you cannot.... but it is considered bad practice to include a literal space in address names/links and files names. So I state again that good practice is to use a separator in these cases, not a literal space. This will avoid the "%20" appearing in these names.
I hope I've expressed it better this time. :P ;) ;D

hawk have true , when we learn to programm all website say , the best is to not put space but underscore , a point , or nothing ;)
Ach you old school people ... if it was for you we'd still be in 8.3 file naming :P
