Starting with Beta20d, it is possible to reserve a name so that it can be used online only with a specific GUID.

This feature was integrated to prevent anyone from using the name of popular community members in multiplayer.

If your name has been used by others and you want to reserve it, please contact me on Discord.

Track ID: the name of the directory of the track.
Track Layout: the name of the directory of the layout. Empty for base track.
Track Name: the name as it will appear in statistics.
Track Code: is generated during collisions ( TRP file ) export.

Race data ( RDF file ) and track layout data ( LYT file ) are automatically registered when completing the first online lap using a registered bike: https://forum.piboso.com/index.php?topic=9669.0.

To update an already registered track, set Track ID and provide the previous code in Prev. Track Code. All records are deleted and race data is cleared.

- Pressing the ESC key goes back to the previous page.

- Pressing the ESC key when a dialog is open is equivalent to clicking on the "Close" / "Cancel" / "No" button.

- Pressing the Enter key when a dialog is open is equivalent to clicking on the "Yes" button ( or "Return to Pit" when the on-track dialog is open ).

- When an editbox is active, it is possible to copy text from the clipboad pressing Left Ctrl + V

It is possible to send a private message typing '@' followed by the client's name ( or #race number), followed by the message.

It is possible to disable an input of a joystick.
This could be useful, for example, to disable a broken potentiometer that is outputting noise.

The file joysticks.cfg is automatically read at startup.
It is possible to add multiple joysticks: "name" is the name of the joystick as it appears in the "Calibration" page of GP Bikes.
The names of the inputs are the same of the calibration page:

Code Select Expand

x, y, z, rx, ry, rz
slider1, slider2
pov1 to pov4
button1 to button32

The default joysticks.cfg disables the buttons linked to the triggers of the PS4 pad, so that it is possible to assign them as analog inputs.

It is possible to change the port used when connecting to a server, using the "-clientport" launch parameter:

Code Select Expand

gpbikes.exe -clientport (port)
For example:

Code Select Expand

gpbikes.exe -clientport 54311
The default port is 54310

This option can be useful, for example, when multiple PCs on a local network need to connect to the same server.

GP Bikes uses UDP ports 54300 and 54310 for the network protocol.

Starting with GP Bikes beta19, it is possible to register bikes to have best laps and other statistics recorded.

1) Enable physics debug mode: https://forum.piboso.com/index.php?topic=3767.0

2a) The bike folder must be unpacked, not a PKZ file.
2b) While on track in testing mode, press Left Ctrl + B to generate a new "registration.bin" file ( in the bike folder ) and a code.
2c) The bike ID ( the bike folder name ) and code should be saved in the "gpbikes/bike.txt" file in the GP Bikes installation directory.
2d) Please save the code to a safe place, so it can be used for updates.

3) Register the bike at http://stats.gp-bikes.com/bikereg.php
"Prev. Bike Code" is only used to update the data and must be left empty when registering the bike for the first time.

4) Finalize the registration completing at least a lap on a "World" server or dedicated server.

5) Pack the mod for release, making sure to include the "registration.bin" file.

6a) If any of the elements of the bike ( tyres, rider ) is changed, then the registration must be updated, using the old code.
6b) If the name or category need to be changed, it is possible to re-use the same code in "Prev. Bike Code", without the need to generate a new one ( steps 1 and 2 ) and re-release the mod ( step 5 ).

It is possible to connect to a dedicated server to send admin commands.
The feature is off by default and must be enabled:
https://forum.piboso.com/index.php?topic=26.0
Only 1 client can connect to the server.

Communication is made with UDP sockets and strings terminated with "\n".

Send "CONNECT" followed by the connection password ( empty string if no password ).
Reply:
OK -> connected
FULL -> another client is already connected
WRONGPASSWORD -> wrong password

Data format is "CMD" followed by an incremental message ID and then the command.
The possible commands are:
"QUIT": closes the server
"MSG": followed by the chat message, that also allows to send commands ( see the dedicated server documentation for more info: https://forum.piboso.com/index.php?topic=26.0 )

The server will send an ACK followed by the message ID for each CMD received.

Send "KEEPALIVE" every 15 seconds to keep the connection active.
The server sends "ALIVE" to report that the connection is active.

Send "DISCONNECT" to correctly close the connection.
