Replay Analyzer bug?

by Mike Barlo » Sat, 05 Aug 2000 04:00:00

    I can't say for sure that it is related to the Replay analyzer but I
haven't installed, added, changed, anything between bootups and installing
it.  I wanted to do an off-line race.  I selected the driver, selected the
car, selected the track, and went to the setup screen.  There were no setups
there at all.  not at any track.  I changed cars several times and several
drivers but still no setups.  The complete list of setups for all cars and
tracks are available for "training" mode, but not for "single race" mode.
The same for online races.

    Like I said, I cant say it's related to RA, but that's the only thing
different about the system.  I did notice that after getting to the end of
the track list (Road Atlanta was the last one on the list) That instead of
cycling through to the first track on the list (Kyalami), it cycled the last
three tracks.  This could be a bug in the track list order in RA.  I did
open that option but I didn't change anything.

Could we have reached a limit to the number of tracks which can be installed
in GPL?  How many tracks do you have installed and does anyone know if there
is a limit?  Certainly I don't have this problem after installing Road
Atlanta and I have 48 Tracks Installed.

Cheers

    I went ahead and renamed the GPL.exe to 1201GPL.exe.  Then went and
re-installed GPL-1.0.   I went and renamed the current gpl.exe to 10gpl.exe
and renamed the other gpl.exe back to gpl.exe.  Now I'm patched to 1.2.0.1.
Had the same problem :-(  After yelling and screaming I finally went and
started a "single Race" with my F3 driver.  I figured out just what the
problem was when I jumped in the***pit of my !!F1 car!!

    I have no idea how it happened but my F3 and F2 drivers had the
player.ini driver rating changed to a 3.  After changing it back to 3 and 2
respectfully, I had my setups returned in Single race mode.  All I can think
of is maybe RA's GPLRank may have tinkered with it?

The tracklist in what part of the program? LapFinder, Track Organizer?

Cheer,

We never write to player.ini, we only read so it seems very unlikely.
And the driver rating is never even read at all.  But please try to
reproduce the error.

    I have tried and tried but haven't been able to reconstruct the error.
The Track list recycling problem was my fault!!  I installed Pocono twice in
the season.ini files by mistake.  With that in mind, I *May have* had the
player.ini setup with a default DriverRating.  I don't think so but it is at
least a possibility as I rarely drive off line against the AI.

HAHAHAHA!  I had the same thing happen after running an F3 with you guys once.
I jumped in a league race, but forgot to change back to F1..."WTF happened to
all my setups?!?"
oops...
