GPL Online

Hey gang, Haven't recently reinstalled GPL and having found an even bigger new love for it, I would like to attempt to get back into some online racing with it. I know a lot has changed since it and Vroc first came out, would someone be so kind as to give me the lowdown on what all is available and what I should use, I know there is now spyboy, vroc, F2 and F3 races, etc etc. I would much appreciate it. -- Don Burnette Dburn in N3 and Legends

As I just found out, Spyboy has been replaced by WinVROC found on www.vroc.net. I'm gonna do some downloadin' tonight... Maybe I'll catch ya on there sometime... Warlock!

If you have a cable modem make sure you add this line to your core.ini file in the gpl folder and that it is called core.ini not core.ini.sample [ Communications ] alternate_ip_addr_lookup = 1 ; Find IP addresses another way This will enable GPL to grab your Ip address from your NIC card and not from DUN as it tries to by default. I just created a new core.ini in notepad and added the above line. Later on when I understand what the other core.ini settings in the core.ini.sample file do I will add the ones I want to use. When you save the file you create in notepad make sure you dont save it as a txt file select Save As then select all file types then call it core.ini and save it to the gpl folder. Regards Al

What is this core.ini change for? I have a cable modem and my connection is fine without changing this core.ini setting. Does it have any advantages if I change my core.ini to this? Andre

If GPL finds your IP address then you this line will be of no benefit to you. It only tells GPL to "look harder" for the IP address. -Bj?rn

Also make sure you have update GPL to V1.2 otherwise you won't be able to join any races.
