Need people for a new bikes set

[matty0l215]

Just out of interest, how much time do you spend riding in GP Bikes in a week?

Close to zero. Because since beta4, there's little point in making any effort to organize and join online races: online, at the moment, does not work. It doesn't. Really.
And yes, I raced quite a bit on old betas, before Matty and GuiGui even joined. So the advice comes from there.

I'm not criticizing the ones that do make the effort, I'm just saying that all this is to be expected.
You can do your best (dedi server with good bandwidth, nds track, stable tracks and bikes, whatever), but it's not gonna work.
So frustration is to be expected. Don't want frustration ? Don't race online. Do hotlap, offline, mods, whatever.

Of course I'm not saying people are entitled to scream because they core.exe'd once after training for 2 weeks.
Given the current status of online, they should not have trained for 2 weeks in the first place or they should have taken the core.exe on their chin, as we all do form time to time.

P.S.
I do think that core.exe crash was just a semi-instant karma thing for chosing to create a Kawa z1000

No worrys Max, i know yov've been around for the longest time. I was here during the very end of Beta 2 and tbe whole beta 3 but never raced online.

[HornetMaX]

Too bad, because beta3 was probably the most online-playable.

But I'm sure you can find people that have been on-board longer than me: ach, I gave a try to alpha 7 but at the time was busy with other stuff, only came back around beta2, so we're almost as gpb-old

[grimm]

Haven't been active on the forum until Alpha7, and never really raced online, but it is a shame the online has been screwed up for so long. I really would love to join in the fun, but I just don't ride well on the game/sim, and I keep reading over and over that the online bit is not working so I don't even try.




Really makes me question weather it's worth wanting to even put in the effort anymore. Piboso deletes threads regularly and I don't understand why, people get upset and vanish. I'll finish up the engine map and record as many sounds as possible for a database starting with a baseline on the 900RR... but I just don't see the reason for all the turbulence here on the forum and it really puts me off on wanting to get involved. I see the community coming apart a bit over the years and I offer what I can to pull it back together. (A good example is SM Bikes pack on MX Bikes 3 days after current Beta release to quench the thirst for mod bikes on the forum when EVERYONE waited for a supermoto for so damn long.) I've got what it takes (although it may not be track or bike modeling) to put something back into the mod community, and I don't expect even a thank you or an online race to work out. I just want to see everyone enjoy Piboso's simulators to the fullest extent.

I think it is normal. A bunch of guys n girls all extremely passionate for the product feeling frustrated often, then one small catalyst, and the lid comes off, has a little boil over then it reduces back to an excited simmer!

  Recently I think being here along for the ride is enriching the experience not reducing it. I don't think anyone will blame me for fiercely defending what I have tried to bring here.

It is just the way it is, humans are crap at stuff like this, its a fact of life lol. Roll on Dolphin rule!

Thanks for all the fish!

It has taken me since Alpha7 to really get involve with the community and since beta8 release it really looked promising in many ways.

With Nick having to move and there being no servers I am trying my best to give what I can and try to get more sales and new blood into GPB.

We need to work together not fight each other. This is one of the most mature forums in many ways so when this kind of thing happens it really rocks the boat.

Blacky and I butted heads for a few days then we got it back on track and it would be a shame to lose a great modder, but some of the stuff thats been said is uncalled for and it has all escalated.

Why cant we drop the finger pointing and just get back to pulling together to get as much fun out of this as we can until the big cheese decides to pull his finger out and get the netcode done. If it means I have to put in more time and effort I am up for it, but I cant do it all alone.

Please guys, lets get back to some kick ass riding and "FUCK CORE"

I read too much crap. Before the insults, invented stories... and now the word "peace" in a forum  Im not at war with anyone.

I take a my decision, stop working on gpb, for the attitude of some members of this forum, I do not lose anything, maybe gpb lose good or less good stuff.

End.

[Urban Chaos 2.0]

So I come back from a short holiday, to find that there's been a fight and Blackheart's leaving? Haha what's going on?

Yes you take your decision to deny 99% of the community your good work on the basis of the few who have bothered to comment on your bad attitude after last Sundays race, and that you cannot deny. Yes, that was really very gracious of you Blacky to spite the many to satisfy your need to spite the few.
No your not at war with most people of course not, but seems your intent on spiting the few who made the effort to comment on your bad attitude after Sundays race? Otherwise why withdraw your work on the MODS for the community? Because surely you were creating your mods for the whole GPB community and not just those that replied to your comments after Sundays race? Can you see what I'm saying here? 

As far as you saying, and I quote: "I do not lose anything, maybe gpb lose good or less good stuff." Don't make the mistake of thinking you are that important because none of us are, not me or any of the main players in the community are that important. Believe me, if people  leave the community or stop working on MODS then GPB will go on quite happily without them. As I said before, if your going to create MODS then do it firstly because you love doing it and only secondly because you want to contribute to the community as a whole, but from your actions it seems your doing it for some other reason than those two I've mentioned?

Look Blacky, we all have our outburst of frustration at times, that understandable when riders put in hours of practice for events only to have what happened on Sunday happen, but when you take it as far as you have done since Sunday just to get back at the few then you start to get peoples backs up. But as far as I'm concerned it's finished with and we move on, so it's up to you how you take it from here.

I'm sure that if Jamoz is around, he'll push out one of those popcorn animated gifs

Here's what I came up with, I suppose you could just paste it into the file for the 900. Doesn't seem I'm ever going to be good at making things for GPB so after this I am just going to leave it to you guys to make things like this work. Quite frankly I'm pretty sure someone could do better with half the effort I've put into this.

In the CFG file, engine inertia was set to, "Inertia = 0.015", and it seemed okay, still far from as good as it could be.





This constant drama on the forum really sours my interest in anything to do with the community. So, I hope to see the 900 in game, but for the most part I'm just going to go back to lurking about just reading.
