As the Hotlap servers are down, can someone tell me the fastest laptimes of the WSS at Aragon, Victoria and BrnoGP?
I set a 1.32.122 with the R6WSS and Medium tyres on Victoria but did not know if this on is good or not? This was not a perfect lap...could be a 31.9 imho...did two little mistakes.
I just want to know if i need even more improvement.....
And i wan´t to compare to the real lap times.
The 1.32.1 is abit too fast so i will change the tyre files to match it close to the real lap times.... ;)
@Dibu
can you bring the HL servers back online?
- don´t know if it is the correct section for that question -
yesterday we did a few laps on Victoria and Aragon... with the Ducati i did: 1.30.7 Victoria (improvable) / 1.51.9 Aragon , but Ducati is much slower compared to Jap Bikes ... i have seen 1.29.8 by AleAle with Suzuki on Victoria :)
Thank you ODI.
Quotei have seen 1.29.8 by AleAle with Suzuki on Victoria
:o :-\
Below ´30.....we really have to adjust the tyre parameter... ;)
I´m slower with the WSBK Honda than him on the WSS Suzuki..... ???
Maybe i should retire ;D

yes, even 1.25 with old Rc211V, is a too fast lap time. But modders can do little on the tires ... only Piboso can :)
i don´t think we can do little ;)
but i don´t know how much effect it will have on the lap times yet.
we´ll see...
BTW:
Thanks again for the great MOD, rode the R6 yesterday the first time and it´s a REAL pleasure to drive!! Reminds me of my own one....
Nastavi did a 1.50.100 on Aragon and he said 1.49 was possible :o

well .. you can reduce the grip, but the result is that the bike lean less due the virtual rider, and it is not so realistic, because new pirelli tires allow very high lean angles...! there would be the carcass, but you better not touch that data imho :P

Tell me which tracks and which bikes you want and I'll start the Hotlap server. As a compromise track change will be in a two week interval, ok?

Bikes: WSS mod V092, 1000cc, 500cc, 125cc (because that´s the bike classes with race events and will cover most of the bikes we´re riding right now)
Track: Victoria, BrnoGP, MonzaV1.1,Magny Cours, Suzuka....chose one of the rideable tracks. Not much...maybe 5 to 6.
Danke Dibu!!

Slow down! ;D Maximum 5 servers. One bike (mod) eg WSS and 5 tracks or different bikes (e.g. WSS mod V092, 1000cc, 500cc, 125c) and one track.
Sorry for misunderstanding Dibu.
One track , different bike(mods).
As it was before ;)
Servers are up.
Peter will design new logos for WSS 600 class this weekend.
Results as always here: http://hotlap.no-ip.info/
For GP500 and GP1000 all Mod bikes of theses categories can be used. Mod 1.65 is needed for all bikes.

urgh.... i could get a 2.03 if i could stay on, but 2 more seconds to cut.................................. :o
WTF are you guys doing lol
tryes? setting? how is alby nearly 30km quicker top speed wise
ahHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
>:( >:( :o :-[ :-[ :-\ :-\ :'( :'( :'(
;D
lol you can see that he did a 2:31 when he reached that top speed so he most likely overshot that corner :D
His best lap is "just" 17km/h faster than yours...
Thank you Dibu!
Looking at the time tables and number of participitians , i think that was the right step ;D
Bad luck... have to update to 1.65 to join Servers.....
Besides online racing the HL server is the other side i like to play GPB!

We can organise it also different if you prefer.
e.g. instead of the whole MOD1.65
- GP1000, GP500, GP125 only default bikes
- 600 only WSS bikes
Atm all bikes use the MOD 1.65. I thought it's better this way because the participants of the Could Turkey race can test all GP1000 bikes.
Here a small hint:
If you are interested which bike a rider used for his fastest lap just click the name (blue) in 'Fastest lap classification'. The plot window opens and the bike is displayed on top. ;)
Thanks Dibu, is nice to see your server with WSS MOD :)

Lol..... We've all been there mate..... It takes a lot of time and practice to get as good as some of these guys here; some have been riding GP Bikes for years and before that as far back as GP500.
Us mere mortals can only hope to get within maybe 7-10 secs of some of these guys, but like myself, I'm sure your aim is to be up there with them as soon as you can.... It can be frustrating at times....
Keep trying and practicing mate.... the more you practice the more enjoyable this sim gets. ;D
@dibu
Thanks for the hint...that was my next question You've answered before asking ;)

Is it possible to get a view on the replay of the fastest Lap?

Sorry that's not possible. The way how dedicated servers save replays atm doesn't allow it.

The normal madness - too many users and too much time online (about 12 hours now).
I'll restart it as soon as it's empty...

not really, 2nd straight after 1st corner
The trap is use the GSX.
Server restarted.
Core exe after one lap.......i'm beginning to think that this is something witch the groove buildup on track for my core exe.
Maybe we should remove the Groove buildup because as far as i Remember Arvoss had done some Test on his Server and the Server was a Lot more stable?

Testing without dynamic surface is an option which is worth to test.
But I'm not really sure that it will solve all problems.
From my experience it's a big difference running a server for a race event (1-2hours) or a HL event (24hours). When heavily used the dedicated server goes nuts after some hours and only a restart helps. With older betas it was much worse (also without dynamic surface) but also beta4b shows these problems.
I automaticly restart the the servers every morning at 6:30 CET but that's not enough.
During the last two days the WSS HL server was permanently in use by riders, I never could restart it in the afternoon or evening.
how about a restart every 4 or so hours?
is it possible to post a msg in chat from the server to warn people... or you could post up the restart times at least to keep everyone aware

The automatic restart of the server after x hours is no problem but sending an automatic warning message to the players is not possible (at least I don't know how I should do it).
The logger software of the HL server server writes lines like 'GPB1000: empty' or 'WSS600: empty' to a DOS window when the last rider left this server. Atm I'm looking for a way to read this DOS window and initiate the restart of this server when it's empty. So far I had no success without redirecting everything to a txt file (which isn't the way to go for several reasons).
Hmm, I think I've to call for our gazillion man ;). MaX any ideas?

Hmm ... what do you mean exactly ? The HL software has his own console (DOS prompt) window that pops up when the software is running and when one server goes empty it write one line to the console ? In that case, I see nothing else beside redirecting to a text file an monitoring it. Ugly hack, have to admit.
I don't know if it is possible to query the server in order to find out if there are players or not on it: probably not (and probably it would be a nice thing to have).
I think the server itself sends this info to the GPB master server (the one that shows all the online servers on the servers page, in gpbikes.ini: "server=master.gp-bikes.com:10500"), I think it's called the "heartbeat". In principle you could send the heartbeat to another address, where you should have a "listener" that will receive the information, decode it and find out if there are players or not and then forward the info as received to the master server. Definitely not my cup of beer, probably fairly easy for somebody with some network code experience.

Random's logger gets the informations using the 'Live Timing' ports of the dedicated servers. It translates/interprets a lot of these informations to clear text in a DOS box of the logger. The important information would be 'GPB1000: empty', 'WSS600: empty', ... The essential lap time informations are written to separate text files for each HL server (not important for this problem)..

One way to get the necessary informations could be to run a second logger but I don't want to risk loosing lap time recordings because of the second logger disturbing the main logger. Still the savest way would be to use the existing resources - reading the contents of the DOS window and pass an error code for a batch file/ powershell script which restarts the server.

The task/problem has nothing to do with the master server. The output of random's tool is completely independent from the master server (except that it's needed to connect to WORLD).

Not sure you can run a second logger as the server only sends to one address/port.

AFAIK, you can't "read the content of a dos window" (unless you're willing to go down a crazy way of taking screenshots of the window and doing OCR, which would be pure madness).
You can probably pipe the output to a text file and then do something with that.

I know, but my point is that the server (any GPB server) sends some info (including the number of players) periodically to GPB master server.
If you're able to "listen" to this info, you are informed of when the server is empty. Now that I thikn about it, it's a pretty neat solution, but you need somebody with some knowledge in network stuff and Piboso to explain the content of the "heartbeat" (maybe it's not that hard to reverse-eng it, as the info is tiny). It will also work for non-hotlap servers (if needed).

Sorry I don't know what to do, I've already restarted the WSS HL server 5 or 6 times today.
The usage is crazy. During the 5 days since it's running 63 players rode 1.383 valid laps at this single server. ::) (thank you all, at least it makes me think that it was worth to restart Hl sever :) :) )
Tomorrow I'll have to start working again and I'll have no more time for server restarts.
@PiBoSo, I need a stable server version - urgent ;)

If you can autorestart the server, I would set it up to auto restart every 4 hours or how often you think it needed, Just need to tell people server will start at X time if there on the server at that time they just have to relog back in.

Maybe the best idea. I spent the whole day trying to setup batch/powershell/autoit/performancemonitor scripts which do the job but had no satisfying success so far. My goal is still to do restarts when the server is empty.
I'll observe what happens tomorrow. If the server usage is still so high, I'll use the automatic server restart every 3 hours.
Isn't it possible to make a practice session of 2h instead of 5h+ so the server automatically restarts? If not I would just write in the command box: Server restart in 4 minutes. Enough time to finish your hotlap ;)

Just manually when you have time ;) On mac OSX there is an app called Automator that could do the job I think. I'll take a look on Google if there is something similar for windows.

I found a program that works BUT the commands (restart, update whitelist,...) don't work when I try them. If they would work, the JitBit macro recorder could automatically write: Restart server in 2 minutes, eventually a 10 second countdown and write the "restart" command. You can also record the mouse movement to click on the quit button and restart the server, BUT the window is not always on the same place (maybe you can fix the position of a window). Take a look, it's a trial 'I don't know how long this works). http://www.jitbit.com/macro-recorder/automator-for-windows/ Maybe you can find a torrent ;)
