Start order by BEST LAPS - Bug

Post by Jeffrey » Wed Apr 19, 2006 6:40 pm

Scenario:

Qualifying Session - 200 laps but 10 mins on stop watch and with starting order by best lap. When stop watch rings (10 mins over and lets say made 30 laps) I stop race.


Then next race the positions do not start matching the lap times.

This is beacause i quited the race before? I mean i cant do this against time. In this scenario i had to fininh the 200 laps to work? right?

Unfortunately, it seems that there is a bug here, yes. If you stop a race, lap times do not work unless you give points for stopped races. You can set that on in Game Settings (Points for Stopped race: Yes) or in sliders.ini (GivePointsForUnfinishedRace 1). Note that now players are given points for the race, too, so points need to be set to 0 if that matters :(.

But yes, that is something that will be fixed in the next version (whenever that comes).

Thanks Ande.

I think it would be nice also that a proper qualification session can me made before a race.

The server set the time. So qualification is against time not from a number of laps. When time is elapsed, qual ends. And something important is that qual results are not sorted by who won the race etc, but sorted by lap time.

Thanks Ande
