Y2K bug in GPLDump

9 posts by 5 people · 04 Jan 2000 - 05 Jan 2000

Hi, Has anyone else experienced this problem? I was trying to compare a replay from december last year with a replay I made yesterday and when I clicked on the time difference button I got an error message. Minimum must be <= Maximum. Could this be that 99 > 00? The strange thing is that a replay from 98 worked just fine. Any Ideas? Cheers, Johan.
I had this problem with some replays too in 1999, so I don't think it's a millennium bug. Andre On Tue, 04 Jan 2000 09:06:02 +0100, Johan Foederer

Hehe :-) Which version of GPLDump you are using? (when announcing a bug, it is always wise to mention the version too). There's a problem when I'm scaling the chart axis sometimes.. try loading the replays in a different order, i.e. if you loaded the 00 replay to the 'driver1' slot and the 99 replay to 'driver2' slot, then do it vice versa. I'm not comparing dates of anything in Dump, but some internal dll could do something like that.. but anyways I really doubt this is a real y2k bug, but if it is, then I'm proud of it :-) Also if you are not using the newest one (http://www.hut.fi/~kaltsi/), then get it and try again.. I fixed such a bug at some point. -Juha --

Replays from different versions of GPL perhaps? -- [asbjxrn] [lLd25z*%ds1-100/sLlSdI%ds2-O/sSl1l2*PlL0<l]sl 21172310731916131628237117 3237142523312SSSLllxq
No, I have the problem with replays from the same GPL version (1.2) Andre

Hi Juha, Yep, I should have mentioned the version, sorry. I don't have it here right now, but I'll check tonight if I have the latest version. I'll also try loading them the other way around. btw. GREAT TOOL! // Johan

Hi Juha, Are you currently working on additions to your great program? f yes, what are the improvements we can expect? I'm still hoping for a plot that compares the lines the cars drive around the track, which shouldn't be too hard, as you can already plot the trackmap. Simply add 2 more lines on the map, which are at a distance from the center-line according to the "lateral" data, and you're done. Sounds like a 15-minute job :-) Good luck with the program Martijn

Simply add 2 more lines on the map, which are at a distance from >the center-line according to the "lateral" data, and you're done. I'm not planning to do that right now. I've made some improvements to the track map so that it shows real curves instead of just lines where the curves are supposed to be.. that looks great on oval tracks and brands hatch, but makes some of the othe original tracks look a bit more messy. There are some problems with what you are suggesting and my current track map plotting, but I don't want to go there, since it's too early in the morning right now. Actually it would take around 7 minutes, but I'm too busy picking my nose :-) -Juha --
Well, the version was 0.7.4b and loading in a different order did the trick. Thanks! Johan.
