VROC - how to get out of cycle when dedicated hosting

Hi friends, after I finally succeeded in setting up a dedicated VROC server in my office <grin>, I cannot cancel hosting w/o resetting the machine. The vroc website is mentioning something like "hold the left shift-key once ..." - that doesn't work. I also don't get that window (something like "quit hosting: yes-no") others are telling me about. Any idea? TIA --------------------------------------------- LWFF Ball Bearing conversion at: http://jensschumi<dot>bravepages<dot>com/ GPLRank: -14.82 Monsters of GPL: sub 95

Then there are several options: - type "!shutdown" in chat; this will end GPL. You can then restart through Vroc again - to end only the current race, click the red button in GPL. It will ask if you want to disconnect from the server. When you answer No, you get a second question "Abandon the race?" If you click Yes here, GPL will cycle to the next race. Bart Westra

Only way to keep it from jumping to the next race when it running a loop of races is to repeatedly hit "enter" while pressed the red button with the mouse (i.e. one hand clicking on the red button, other tapping on the enter key at the same time). It may take a minute and a number of server restarts, but eventually you'll get a "Discard..." message after the "Abort race..." message and then it'll jump back to VROC. Ken

Ken PS Sorry if this shows several times, it's been one of those mornings...
