Re: GPL Championship bummer

By the same token, you should be able to edit the gp.ini file to contain 1 track for a 1 track championship and see the ending you missed. :-) Jason. Andre Warringa wrote:

I changed the number of races to 11, so it didn't keep going. That means the season is over, right? So, where's the end of the season message?

I never got a message either after my season finished. I just thought it was because I didn't win the championship - I was in 6th place.

There is no end of season message, just that the newspaper after the last race has the winner of the championship in the headline. Actually the headline will appear after the championship has been decided, so not necessarily after the just the last race. A couple of examples of how the newspaper looks: http://www.stud.ifi.uio.no/~arneh/div/season1.jpg http://www.stud.ifi.uio.no/~arneh/div/season2.jpg -- Arne Martin

Well, obviously this is the 60s, where drivers were sporting, and you're disqualified. However the problem with not getting the championship standings I guess is because the season is not finished :-) You have probably installed some new tracks, and if you have GPL still thinks you have to do those races as well before the season is over, so obviously GPL won't declare a winner yet. If you don't want the new tracks to be part of the season you have to remove them from the gp.ini file in the seasons folder. If you leave the 67season file alone you should still be able to race those tracks in single races, but they won't be part of the championship. -- Arne Martin

That's probably it, I deleted the extra tracks after I did Mexico, probably too late. Andre > >-- >Arne Martin

Why's that? I searched the rulebook of GPL, but it doesn't say anything about my actions being illegal! And it was not that bad, Hill survived after all. Hmm, have to hit him harder next time... Andre > >John

Wait a minute here, I just finished a pro long championship series four days ago. I was a Mexico with 9 points over JC, lead the race from the half way point till the 19th lap when my leg cramped up bad and I lost it just prior to the esses, spun and ended up in fourth. Anyway, when it was over I got a newspaper with the headline "Anderson: 1967 World Champion" and the text read "Randy Anderson won the Championship for Drivers, after yesterdays Grand Prix at Mexico, overshadowing a great performance by race winnner Jim Clark." The one thing I may have done different is that when I would drive the series races I would put the original gp.ini and 67season.ini with the 11 tracks listed in the seasons folder and rename the files with all the othertracks.

Mine was on the Novice level. Maybe that has something to do with it? I'll try again with the original files, though...
