The poll starter' vote is set to "Yes", all the others are not set, except when on track, when it defaults to "No".

To change the vote, in addition to the buttons in the chat dialog and the F2/F4 keys on track, it is possible to type "!yes" or "!no" in the chat.

Each poll must get some percentage of "yes" valid ( yes or no ) votes to pass:
"start session": 50% + 1
"track reset": 50% + 1
"black flag": 60% + 1
"kick": 60% + 1
"eject": 60% + 1

Spectators are allowed to vote:
- to kick / ban a client
- to start a new session, but only in a "Waiting" session

A new poll cannot be created within a minute from the last one.

There are a few settings that are only available manually editing the global.ini file that is generated in "My Documents"/PiBoSo/GP Bikes/ ( if "compatibility" is set to zero, in the "gpbikes" directory in the GP Bikes installation folder ).

Under [core] section ( must be created ):

mouse_sensitivity = 50
mouse_deadzone = 0.01
mouse_linearity = 1          ; 0 = fully linear. Increase the value to have more precision in the central part
mouse_smooth = 2            ; 0 = no smooth
to set mouse-look parameters.

replay  = 20
to set the size, in megabytes, of the replay buffer. 20MB is the default value.
Warning: the bigger the buffer, the more RAM will be used.

Code Select Expand

bike_shadow = 512
bike_reflections = 128
to set the power of 2 ( 256, 512, 1024, ... ) resolution of the shadow and reflections textures.
Higher values use more video ram and may have a performance hit.
