Some problems.....(using v1.46 thats, 1.00 build 46 Beta 4) Under the GPL driver info screen I get asked for Label2 (under the country field) but no options are available? And this is a "required" field? I also have the area/city code as zero, does this matter? When I ping or reload, nothing happens/ I presume it is trying to connect but comes back with nothing? I also get various error messages at the bottom of the screen (in green!) including the following.... FTP Action GET file Error 0, successful FTP Action CONNECT Error 0, Anyone got any ideas how to get this working? it looks like it could be a great program, and I want it to turn out ok, but maybe its me not doing things correctly? I'll e-mail the author too..... 8-) *Peter* #:-)
error 0 is a "good error" !! - it signifies success. I had the same problem with the field2... as to the area code - it look like the author has put in a simple check to ensure that its numbers - regardless of how many.. not sure why its needed anyway. cheers -Lindsay
Author here: The intent for the area code is: In the future, if there are alot of servers running. The list will take 2 - 4 seconds to load for each race running. By including you location information, I can allow you to only see races in certian areas to make the process faster. Dean

Hey Dean, nice one - I take it the area code is worldwide (i.e. you don't intend to do any validation on it)... haven't managed to connect to a race via GPLSL yet (only seen one on there so far, but failed to connect) but will keep looking and race as soon as I can. cheers -Lindsay >Author here: >The intent for the area code is: In the future, if there are alot of >servers running.

Hi Lindsay, There currently is no validation on the area code. Other than it has to be no more than 3 numerics. (In the next version to be released. The current verion doesn't limit to 3). An update will hopefully be available this weekend. Dean >Hey Dean, >nice one - I take it the area code is worldwide (i.e. you don't intend to do

Dean When it is limited to 3, what should we enter ? International dialling code or the area code within the country we specified ? Andy

Dean, I know you are gonna cuss at me for this... but I think it really needs to be longer - we have 5 digit (yes 5) area codes here in the UK. We could drop the first digit (a zero) but that still leaves us with 4. I'm not sure what the rest of the world have... cheers -Lindsay >Hi Lindsay, > There currently is no validation on the area code. Other than it has to
