Rascar race

Crap - I can't access my server. I must have left my firewall program running...and my other servers don't have the program loaded. John, can you host today please? If so, thanks! If not, I'll have to go to the office to get the race going. Let me know. Eldred -- Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett Remove SPAM-OFF to reply.

Sure, but I can only host 20 people. But you should be careful, I might wrest from you what little control you still have on the league, and while in a position of supreme power, I'll launch my nefarious plan to take over the world, starting with RASCAR.

I know you mean to be funny John, but is now really the time? In any case I will not login to watch the race today so others will have a chance to join. Good Luck all and Good Racing :-) Sean

I don't want to be competing for a spot on the server, so if you could get things sorted, that would be a good thing. Jan. =---

"Now" is always a good time to be funny. The status of the server is still not set today. If enough people want Eldred to start the real server, I'm sure he'll do it. Given the limited number of connections I can supprt, it would be better, but since I can host, I will if that's what needs to happen.

Jurgen couldn't get in, so I levt the server to explain the problem with the password. When I went to jump back in the race, it was full. Oh well - no good deed goes unpunished... I guess I'll just run a race against the AI, or practice F1C. My RASF1 server is up now in F1rst - no password. Eldred -- Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett Remove SPAM-OFF to reply.

Hehe...I'm not worried, Sean. It's just a game, remember? As I said before, either one of us are perfectly capable of hosting(and running) a league. Eldred -- Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett Remove SPAM-OFF to reply.

I left to fix a warp isssue. Connection works better at night than at 3pm. Tim

It's 5:30 pm and I am sitting in F1RST2 trying to connect. I see your server, there are only 6 people on it, and it is in open practice. I hit join and it says I have joined the room. Then I hit connect and it says "connecting to host, please wait". And that's where it stays. The first time I tried it got as far as starting the game and then demanded the CD. I thought you were using a noCD exe file? Anyway I put the CD in and tried again but after the game crapped out on me I could not connect again. Anyone know what the problem might be?

If it had shifted over to qual by that time, it won't let you in. The delay that happens when people joins screws up drivers on hotlaps. So, the 'no gatecrashers' option is set. Eldred -- Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett Remove SPAM-OFF to reply.

Shouldn't it show that in the status though? I'm not doubting you, I just thought that I would be able to see that. "EldredP" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > > If it had shifted over to qual by that time, it won't let you in. Thedelay

Hey Eldred, do you know the "no gatecrashers" is different than the "closed qualifying" option? "No Gatecrashers" means that once you have launched the game, nobody else will be able to join the room, and then join the game, even if the game is just in practice. That means only the people who are in the room at the time that the game is launched will be able to join the game. If that is the way you prefer to handle it, then you'll have to wait to launch the game for some period of time to allow people to get into the room. With closed qualify, people will be unable to join the game when it is in qualifying, regardless of the gatecrashers setting.
