Problems with GPL/VROC

Hello, I recently downloaded and installed WinVROC. All seems well with the chat side of it, but "Host Race" and "Join Race" are permanently greyed out and there are never any servers displayed. Does anyone know why this is, and what I can do to get it configured correctly? Thanks in advance, Andrew. PS Could however responds via the newsgroup please also CC me ([email hidden]).

Think this happens if you dont have a player set up in GPL. You must also have the 1.2 patch for GPL from papy.com and the temporary fix from vroc.net.

Make sure your vroc.ini has this entry: [VROC] Address=209.53.20.177 -Greg Andrew Hollom wrote:

Greg, Thanks for the help, but I cannot find a vroc.ini file anywhere! I assume that it should it be in the WinVROC installation directory? Why do you think I do not have one? All suggestions gratefully received! Thanks, Andrew. "Greg Campbell" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

The vroc.ini file comes from the permanent fix that you can find at the vroc.net site. Get that file then open the vroc.ini file and change the second line to Address=209.53.20.177 save that file, then in VROC use the VROC drop down menu, go to options and reset the path to GPL using the folder button, even if it looks right, close and restart VROC.

Ah Ha! I created a VROC.INI file and put those lines in it, and hey presto it now works! The funny thing is that before this was done, the VROC MOTD dialogue was empty and now it isn't and tells you how to fix the problem! Thanks again Greg, Andrew.
