Sad to even not had the opportunity to try them but i understand the impact of running multiple servers and probably not having the attendance one expects.

All the best PeterV and hope to "meet" you in a future race.

NDS is NON DYNAMIC Surface and the version which works best in GPB for now as it is less likey to core.exe on you.

Good morning everyone,

I did search for this in the forum but couldn't find the answer (if I missed it i apologise), so that's the reason for my post.

What's the difference between the "standard" and "NDS" tracks?

Thanks in advance.

Bikes / Re: Bike mod revived auto sync
December 16, 2017, 12:31:55 PM
Cool, thanks matty0l215.

Regarding the tracks, not sure how the community is doing but yesterday I've downloaded the MEGA app (from MEGA.nz, the host used to store most of the GP Bikes stuff) and created a free account (yes I never used MEGA...  ;D). With this we can copy the files we want to our "personal Cloud Drive" and then use the MEGA app to download what we want.

Not sure if there are daily limits using this strategy but I can surely state that downloading stuff this way is A LOT faster.

Still not as good and professional option as the "auto sync" but for the newbies this might work as well. Just need to keep track of all changes to the different folders.

Again, thanks for all the work and help guys, really appreciate it.

Looks SWEET...  ;D... Don't mind if by mistake it gets shipped with my system... lol... I'll do the beta testing for you  DD...  ;) ;D

Can't wait to get my hands on the HS3... It's going to be an awesome Xmas... 8)

Hi guys,

I'm starting to work on a custom helmet (based on the Shark Race-R Pro 2017, Jorge Lorenzo 2017... Kudos to the creator, great work...  ;D) and all seems good apart from the fact that the name does not appear in GP Bikes... I can still choose it but the name shows blank.

I believe I'm missing something but I couldn't figure out why so far... The .tga filename is the same as the original one (3rd screenshot).

PS: You can see that I have two custom helmets with different names and both do not show up... Actually the second one shows with the name [2] (2nd screenshot).

Hi guys,

Great idea to be honest, this "autosync" stuff...  ;D ... It's helping me get into the world of GP Bikes more quickly...  8)

One question/ask, could we do this for the rest of the mods (tracks, plugins, helmets, etc...)?

I know this would mean more resources, bandwidth and power being consumed by the FTP server BUT it would help newbies like me to get GP Bikes working quick and easy. This would allow reaching more people as well...  ;)

PS: It seems MXB is doing this as it's working really well.

Just a thought, if I can be of assistance let me know.

Off Topic / My first 72 hours in this community
December 13, 2017, 07:46:11 PM
Well 72h give or take...  ;D


  • Got the license to unlock all GP Bikes features (should have done this earlier but I had my expectations wrong regarding the HS system and GP Bikes license but Allan cleared that up).
  • Started following the "GPB unofficial guide" by HornetMaX (http://forum.piboso.com/index.php?topic=431.0). Great work HornetMax, a must for all newbies. Finished points 1 and 2. PS: I do recommend setting the "compatibility=0" under core.ini. This will make sure all files are under the GPBikes folder and it's a lot easier to find them and to backup the files (btw I had to manually copy the files under "My Documents\Piboso" to the GPBikes folder. Not sure if it was just me or it's the expected behavior).
  • In the meantime started working on a Portuguese (Portugal) translation based on the work done by Rodrigovis (http://forum.piboso.com/index.php?topic=1306.0). I did notice that a few things were missing and that's when I read more closely the "GPB unofficial guide" specially the part regarding .pkz files (section 2.3). I unpacked the ui.pkz file and got the latest translation file in english (english.str). Used WinMerge (free software for PC) to compare the file I was working with the new english.srt and added the necessary changes. All working. Haven't tested everything but will make necessary changes whenever I, or someone else, discovers them. You will find the file here: http://forum.piboso.com/index.php?topic=5537.0

So next steps (since I'm waiting for the HS system and won't ride without it...  ;)):


  • Finish setting up GP Bikes following the "GPB unofficial guide" by HornetMaX (http://forum.piboso.com/index.php?topic=431.0)
  • Customize a Helmet and Suit to prepare for online racing (this way everyone will know, the guy that doesn't know how to ride, is me...  ;D)

Thanks to everyone that is helping me along this journey.

Translations / Portugues (PT) translation
December 13, 2017, 07:41:54 PM
Hello everyone,

Had some free time and as promised I wanted to give back to the community so I've added the translation in Portuguese (PT) of GP Bikes.
Thank you Rodrigovis for your work in the Portugues(BR) (http://forum.piboso.com/index.php?topic=1306.0). I've used it as a starter for the (PT) version.

To install it, simply create a folder ui in GPBikes/gpbikes and drop the file "Portugues(PT).str" in it.
Then, launch the game, go to "Profiles" and change the language to "Portugues(PT)".

Feel free to ask for any modifications if you find errors. ;)

Enjoy and thank you   ;D

Mods / New Translation for GP Bikes b12.b
December 12, 2017, 12:35:43 PM
Hi guys,

I wanted to know if there are specific .srt files for each GP Bikes version and where can I find them (looking mainly for the b12.b version). Wanted to do a Portuguese version (continuing the great work Rodrigovis did with the Brazilian version).

Plus, can I test the translation file in the demo version (running one machine with this version at the moment).

Thank you in advance.

Hi GP Bikes community,

I wanted my first post here to be a quick intro.
Just joined the Forum but I've been following GP Bikes development for almost a year now. I like it so much that I've ordered a HS system from Allan to play/ride on it...  ;D

Quick info about myself, I'm Paulo from Portugal, 40y, married, two kids and love motorbikes (don't have one currently, haven't ride in a while but hope to "get back on the horse" soon).

And that's it, I hope I can help the community as well, with modding, coding, testing, setting up servers, whatever (i'm kind of an IT geek... lol).

Yours truly,

Paulo "TheFREAK"
