RD MINI Challenge 2013

[Jimi Hughes]

Looks great Lars!

 

[Xavier de Carvalho]

How do i race at night? Is there going to be a mod for the Nurburgring so we can race it at night?

 

[Jimi Hughes]

No mod Xavier, you must turn off all the lights in your house and strap a torch to your head...

joking aside, there will be a mod available soon, as tested by RD. See the homepage for a video of a lap in the dark

 

[Xavier de Carvalho]

LOLThanks Jimi, waiting patiently.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Lars Brugman although it looks great please save yourself from doing extra work. We will release a template for the mini when the final entry list is confirmed where the skins should be created from.

I will start working on the template in the coming days, so it can be released. Template will include all mandatory logo's on their designated places. No changes in the logos are to be made, so all should have the same base.

In terms of the mod,
It will be included in the skinpack. So install the skins, and you can drive them at night. For those with balls of steel, there is a test server running at the moment. The race will feature day/night settings. So, although you do not have lights in the car yet, you can see how dark it gets, and how beautifull the ring looks at night/evenings .

{edit}
One thing i forgot to say. If you are going to join on the test server, please remove the RMCCC skinpack from your machine. The AI can cause issues.
Just so you know

 

[Marco Bijl]

I will be on the test server for the coming hour orso. Will also open TS. So, if anyone cares to join me, you're more then welcome

Marco im unable to run consecutive laps as i keep getting Connection Lost. Ive uninstalled all the Skin packs, am i missing something else ?

 

[Marco Bijl]

Dan,

Do you get some sort of notification, or is it just a drop of connection without any warning?
Do you have any issues with the other RD (GSC) servers?
When you load the track, does it go smoothly, or do you get a fault then already?
How long is your replay setting?

This track is huge, and has a large impact on memory. I will make a post with some tips to keep a good connection in the news topic today, or tomorrow. Depends on the time I have available.

 

[Dan Allinson]

only thing i have is a repaly of about 10secs everything else runs smooth i dont have any probs with other tracks or servers bud

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

With many players on the server its advised to disable the replay and set it to zero.

 

[Dan Allinson]

Cool yup ive done that and still getting this random connection drop. Shame cause ive nailed the track now just can't run more than 2 or 3 laps

 

[Marco Bijl]

Will look into it tomorrow Dan. Am out for the day, so little time
