VROC: Game Server

4 posts by 4 people · 14 Nov 1998 - 23 Nov 1998

I am interested in running a GPL server for all you avid GPL racers out there. Most likely, my machine would be the host with me not racing on the machine. You know, to make your guys racing that much better! I am on a cable modem, and it seems to work quite well. However, I do not know how to get my system setup so that when a race is over, the game cycles to another track. Can someone drop me an e-mail to let me know how to set that up so that my server will keep the races running all day and night? Thanks all. -Kevin

I'de wish I knew, but I don't think it's possible without remaking a new exe file to the game to comply with your want. -- Sincerely, Mark F. / SimRacing Web * SimRacing Network The All SimRacing News Server Is Located At: News Group Server Name: simracing.dyn.ml.org Port: 119 Login/Password: Annoymous Connection Allowed Restrictions: None

Thanks for taking the trouble to try to figure out how. There was at least one other very generous fellow I've seen who consistently left his computer on as a server even when he was not racing- but I don't know if he was coming back to the server to cycle through the tracks, or it it was automatic. I asked him once why we were racing at some particular track again, and I think he said that it cycles automatically and asked if we wanted a different one. But I don't know how this was happening. Perhaps Eagle Woman (A. Hine) would know? Funny how in the Quake world, this automatic Host/Client server stuff is already old-hat. But for racing, I guess these are still pretty new questions. But I'll say this- racing at Watkins Glenn last night, I had more adrenaline and more intensity in that one race than in all the best games of Q2 I ever played put together. My heart sounded like I was running a sprint for most of the middle of the race. And I say that admitting that at this point I am a better Q2 player.

I am very surprised to learn that this is possible with GPL. If you find out how this fellow did this, or can get me contact info for him, please let me know! Alison Remove the spam blocker NOSPAM to email me. http://www.nh.ultranet.com/~alison
