GPL Rank

Hi, I'm having a bit of trouble submitting my laptimes to GPL Rank. I tried uploading my player.ini file several times, but my handicap stays at -1520.220. I have a laptime for every circuit so that shouldn't be the problem. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance. Peter Geraedts ([email hidden])

Do you get any 'errors'? Also, do you have multiple drivers defined in GPL. Make sure you're selecting the correct player.ini to upload. If you have RaplayAnalyzer, see what *it* thinks your handicap is. That number might be right, for some reason. Other than that, I'm out of ideas...anyone else?

Thanks for the reply. I'm afraid I only have one player, so that shouldn't be the problem. When I check my ranking in the Replay Analyzer I get +54.7 so that's a bit different from what GPL Rank tells me:). Could it be that the ranking I have in GPL Rank is the sum of all the Papyrus times with a minus in front of it? Peter

From the GPL-rank faq; I uploaded my player.ini,but my chassis handicaps were not updated!! As calculating the chassis handicaps is a cpu bound process it is only feasible on a daily basis (around 2230 GMT). Check again the following day, everything should be fine and dandy then.

Peter, A wild guess would be that you accidentally are uploading the worng file. Are you absolutely sure that you are uploading the right player ini file? If RA can find the right times, so should GPLRank. Another possibility (guess): Have you been editing the file manually? (I'm not implying that you have "made" laptimes instead of earning them but perhaps you have ruined something? Extra lines? Blanks?) If everything else fails, you may mail the file to me, so I can take a look and see if I can spot anything odd in it. I'm no expert but it's worth a try. Cheers, Jens [email hidden] wrote:

He is talking about his normal handicap...the chassis handicap is the CPU process...that is that it must process your handicap for each chassis individually, not just your fastest overall lap at each track...but good eyes either way.

But even if it doesn't update in the list, it WILL give your new handicap when you upload. I'm not sure he's uploading the correct file...

Peter, I see your account but there is no player.ini. You haven't been successful in uploading it. You must us the BROWSE button to navigate to your player.ini file, highlight it, and then hit the UPLOAD FILE button, you will then see the text of your player.ini printing on the screen. Keep trying. If not successful, tell me exactly what your steps you are taking, and what your seeing on the screen. Don -- Don Scurlock Vancouver,B.C.

Hi Don, I try to upload this file: F:\Sierra\gpl\players\Geraedts__Peter\player.ini (this is what GPL Rank tells me after I use the browse button to select the file) When I press the "Upload File" button, I get the "security information" message box, I press "Continue" and that's it (I'm using Netscape). But I definitely don't see the contents of my player.ini on the screen:( Thanks for your help so far. Peter Don Scurlock wrote:

It's great to have a better handicap then mr. Huttu, but I'd rather have my +54:) Peter Dan Belcher wrote:

LOL, enjoy it while you can. :) Hey, on second thought after you figure out how it happened, maybe you can package and market it and make a bunch of $. If you do anything of the sort mentioned above, I want a percentage for suggesting the idea. ;) Just kidding! <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I had a - brief - moment of clarity and decided to try and upload the blasted file with IE instead of Netscape. I installed IE, logged in to the GPL Rank site, uploaded the file and lo and behold: it works........ Thanks everybody for taking the time to answer my question, much appreciated! Peter
