I have wondered this for a while We have Bremgarten with several detail choices (also a few other tracks) which version do I put on my GPL/VROC servers? or does it even matter?

Steve, I'm told you should always run the *least* gfx intensive stuff on the servers...so it can concentrate on more important matters--like not discoing its clients. (After all, it's not like it has to see what it's doing.) I always run my server with detail down, mirrors off, 640x380, etc. Sure, it looks like early Pong; if I want to join in, I connect a hi-res computer thru a LAN as a client. --Steve Smith Steve Garrotto <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Running a dedicated server will prevent sound and graphics from even being used. I hosted 19 drivers on my P200 and opened the boss password up so anyone could change it "/boss". This worked very well especially with 50+ tracks now-a-days. If the client has different tracks than the server, it might so some wierd things though. Jason. Stephen Smith wrote:

Did you have many problems with someone shutting the server down because they crashed at T1? Curious...

It was the YouBeTheBoss (YBTB) server. You might have seen it in VROC last Summer. Yes, someone I knew did try shutting down the server and of course it worked -- duh :) I never heard of people doing it because of T1 crashes. Basically, I think it went pretty well. People who had dialup's could finally host races and choose their own tracks. Some guy kept running Nurburgring races, but that wore off after awhile. Hehe. Jason. EldredP wrote:

Yeah, I remember you running it. I just never connected to it, so I didn't know how WELL it worked...
