Post any bugs, complaints or suggestions you have here. Kinda like the bug report section of the forum, but for the Sprint Cup.

Mine:

In the general classification topic, it says I don't have a score for Bristol? :o

One thing I do fear...its a small chance of this happening, but what if someone wins the race just before the NASCAR championship race, and gets extra points for having a win streak?

Can't we at least try it for one event first rather than be so fucking negative about it? I just don't like how I keep hoping that some noob crashes into someone ahead of me so I could catch up, it gets boring. Nothing bad about trying.

I think, we can try draft in All-Stars race (May 21) because that race doesn't give points for general, so no-one would be harmed.

Everybody are behind each other in the start.. How will it work.. the one who starts first has huge disadvantage then..? But yea, need to first test it with many players before actually adding it to an official run.

I think it makes it too easy to pass another car.. fighting for a position would look like... racers would switch places every 15 secs lol.

That's the point of NASCAR especially in Talladega. You never know who's gonna win. It all comes down to aggressiveness and strategy.

Something like put the drafting on first after 3-5 laps if thats possible?

But slipstream battles would be cool. But im also afraid it wont work with these high pings. But we should definetly try it :D.

lol69 was kicked by dev, due to wrong id... any ideas what should be done now?...


Since I was mistakenly kicked from the track by one of the admins moderating the race, still having a great chance to achieve good position and getting sufficient amount of points to get close to the leader

I demand
...
- get the same score as the 8th player

Unless some admins want to volunteer to not participate, I think it would be fair if there was some sort of rotation system so that at least 2 admins can moderate the race each week?

Don't let the newcomers /race??? {silly idea  :o}
Maybe the idea of locking the server will be forced. Otherwise, as said b4, there's no point in signing up.

Anyway, if any changes will be made in next season... aaaarrrrrggggghhhhhh

What if those who need points get left out by someone who is just there to mess about but doesn't get kicked/banned?

Locking is best chance atm, and easily removeable.

these people will not feel a need that they have to leave themselves...
I have another idea... You admins can ban/tempban/kick all noobs manually and then start the race.

Cromiell did that few times before some races, as well as he did moderate during the race.
In one of the races (cba to find which one), he and Phobos did great job moderating.
If the server can't be locked, then why not give it a try. But instead of admins racing server cleaner, tempban whoever needs to be banned.
Btw Nikki is doing good job, but I have to say that isn't as good as old Zak.
No offence though.

Server was very laggy, this could be due to the PitStop code.  Maybe it needs optimising.

200 Laps is too much, 100 laps seems doable for the majority of players.

Few glitches possible with /NC, they need sorting for next race.

If we say what's wrong, things might change for the better.  Anyone else have any queries about the event?

Yes, there needs to be a rule in how many time there is left to finish after the 1st finished, cause there was no rule this time and that lead to.. well we all know.

But on the other side that won't be such a problem if the races get shorter than 2,5 hours lol..

^True.

Btw, I have a suggestion.
We are giving points for finishing the race.. but we could also give a small amount of points for the qualifying. I don't know what the points for each place are now, but I can imagine we give the top6 point for qualifying. But I need to know the pointsystem before I can really give an opinion about that!

Changed the Pistop code, it now works on vehicle basis, rather than player.

Hopefully quicker, I'll run a test this dinner time.

Ok, double post, but this is great news.

Bug: Players could exit vehicle, if timed right, they could spawn a new vehicle.

Fixed: OnPlayerExitVehicle, I added a very simple function : ClearAnimations(playerid).  Now, it seems impossible to exit the vehicle!

We have to make next race less laggy and fix the glitches, we're getting there.

Me and Max won't make races not full distances this season. It has been already said. And I will try to work our some more rules so it will be more fair to late guys or something... Maybe 110% rule or something...

200 Laps is too much, 100 laps seems doable for the majority of players.

not always are 200 laps, laps varies from track to track
Daytona 500 got 200 laps, but other tracks may got more/less

aually it is all about distance from 300 miles to 500 or 600, so check nascar officaial page to see number of laps

It just depends per track. Daytona is a (big) oval so takes long. smth like martinsville is kinda small do takes less time, u have more ramming on smaller tracks tough

nobody is forcing you guys to race a full length nascar event. you choose to join on a sunday afternoon to race it. if you all hate the length so much then don't sign up or join the sunday when it's active. it's once a week for 2 hours or so... i'm sure you can find something else to do on a sunday afternoon for 2 hours. some of us actually like the full length event but others hate it and that means the people who like it have to suffer because the people who dislike it won't find something else to do while it's active

next race isn't 200 laps long, this time 315

but Phoenix 1 lap is very short, over twice shorter than Daytona, 1 mile lap, instead of 2.5 mile
so this race gonna have 315 miles only, unlike 500 miles Daytona  :L

Indeed. Only around 5 races from 36 will be longer than 2 hours. Other races are even to 45% shorter.

Fair enough.

What are you views on Lap storing? For example, if your car fails (timeout, out of fuel, die, over the fence) you are allowed to start from your current lap?
Code: [Select]
if(PLAYER_Laps[playerid] < 3)  // if a players current lap is less than 3
{
    PLAYER_Laps[playerid] = 1; // reset the player lap to 1, start
}
else // if lap equals 3 or higher
{
    PLAYER_Laps[playerid] -= 1;  //  player lap is decreased by 1
}
?

Daytona had 2.5 mile long and 200 laps, that gives 500 miles
Talladega got longer track, but less laps, 188 laps
Martinsville and Bristol got for example 500 laps, but 1 lap is 5 times shorter than Daytona lap
Dover got 400 laps and Texas 334 laps

short track = more laps, longer track = less laps

Ok.  If players runs out of fuel, he'll start from lap 1.

Still need to find a way to stop players leaving their vehicle.  Currently, when you exit your vehicle, your doors are automatically unlocked.  I wonder if I remove the auto-unlock, we'll be loved inside our vehicles?  I doubt it, but I'll try find out.

Can we run a Daytona 500 race again this afternoon?  Really want to see if the lags improved.  Thanks.

Request:

More checkpoints, closer together (but not too close).

Reason: Getting players position is quicker.  TV will work better.  We have 3000 cp allowance.  Please, try add more cps.

Done.

Were more checkpoints added? a > b > c won't be accurate, because a > b for example cuts a thrid of the track curve off.

Hopefully fixed spectate bug showing night time instead of day time.

Added /fuel to get a players fuel count.

2nd attempt to fix spectate time bug, hopefully nailed it think time.

Bugs:
TV doesn't work as it should with such a large distance from each CP.
Split time glitch when player is about to change lap.

Btw, I have a suggestion.
We are giving points for finishing the race.. but we could also give a small amount of points for the qualifying. I don't know what the points for each place are now, but I can imagine we give the top6 point for qualifying. But I need to know the pointsystem before I can really give an opinion about that!

Server requests:

Temperaraly removed a few features for todays Nascar, it might help the server stress.
Split times/Ranking/Laps still have a few problems, please use 1 > 3000 cps instead.
Even more checkpoints, this won't ruin the race.. it will help and speed up the get player position function.

The pit was much better this week.

Just a shame about the HUD stop error we had.  A influential member of our community has sent me a fix, seemed to work this morning (Need a server full to test it fully).

Still feel more checkpoints would be a benefit to players and server.
