Problem with global position

Wed, 30 Sep 2009 20:17

Hi to all! I got a problem with latest lapper... I can't see global positions, it always says: "Car FOX Position -/-" It seems it wont store my pbs... Any idea?

Looks like the DefaultCar isn't set or set to a wrong car.

This is the part where the default car is set:
#############
#Default Car#
#############
# Default car to show, when no car is specified in command !top or !drf and when a player haven't used a car on this server
# You can combine several cars by using + (example: "XFG+XRG"

# -------------------------------------------------------------------

#$DefaultTopCar = "UF1";
#$DefaultTopCar = "XFG";
#$DefaultTopCar = "XRG";
#$DefaultTopCar = "XRT";
#$DefaultTopCar = "RB4";
#$DefaultTopCar = "FXO";
#$DefaultTopCar = "LX4";
#$DefaultTopCar = "LX6";
#$DefaultTopCar = "RAC";
#$DefaultTopCar = "FZ5";
#$DefaultTopCar = "MRT";
#$DefaultTopCar = "XFR";
#$DefaultTopCar = "UFR";
$DefaultTopCar = "FOX";
#$DefaultTopCar = "FO8";
#$DefaultTopCar = "FXR";
#$DefaultTopCar = "XRR";
#$DefaultTopCar = "FZR";
#$DefaultTopCar = "BF1";
#$DefaultTopCar = "FBM";

When i make a new pb it also says "-/-"... In which database should i check the pbs?

What do you see when you type: !top
If that list is empty too, something isn't working well.
What version of Lapper are you using?

Hmm, there's defenitly something going wrong then.
Could you place your config file in a text file and upload it to this forum?

I noticed that on my ddhost i got an error message: IS_MTC could not find destination, can it be a cause?
I raced with a friend and on some races the global position worked but not on other races... I tried deleting all my db files, not working too... Please help me!!

Anyone can help me? I thought that when i'm running alone on a track i can see "Car XXX : 1/1" instead of "-/-".

Sorry that I didn't respond earlier, had more important things to do.
Running alone on the track isn't a problem.
I've started a test-server with your configuration file and found the problem.


Your code:

$EnableRotation = true;
$RotateTracks = "BL1,BL1R,BL2,BL2R,SO1,SO1R,SO2,SO2R,SO3,SO3R,SO4,SO4R,SO5,SO5R,SO6,SO6R,FE1,FE1R,FE2,FE2R,FE3,FE3R,FE4,FE4R,FE5,FE5R,FE6,FE6R,AU1,AU2,AU3,AU4,KY1,KY1R,KY2,KY2R,KY3,KY3R,WE1,WE1R,AS1,AS1R,AS2,AS2R,AS3,AS3R,AS4,AS4R,AS5,AS5R,AS6,AS6R,AS7,AS7R";
$RotateEveryNbRaces = 4;
$RotateCars = "XFG,UF1,XRG,LX4,LX6,RB4,FXO,XRT,RAC,FZ5,XFR,UFR,FXR,XRR,FZR,MRT,FBM,FOX,FO8,BF1";

Should be:

$EnableRotation = false;
$RotateTracks = "BL1,BL1R,BL2,BL2R,SO1,SO1R,SO2,SO2R,SO3,SO3R,SO4,SO4R,SO5,SO5R,SO6,SO6R,FE1,FE1R,FE2,FE2R,FE3,FE3R,FE4,FE4R,FE5,FE5R,FE6,FE6R,AU1,AU2,AU3,AU4,KY1,KY1R,KY2,KY2R,KY3,KY3R,WE1,WE1R,AS1,AS1R,AS2,AS2R,AS3,AS3R,AS4,AS4R,AS5,AS5R,AS6,AS6R,AS7,AS7R";
$RotateEveryNbRaces = 4;
$RotateCars = "XFG,UF1,XRG,LX4,LX6,RB4,FXO,XRT,RAC,FZ5,XFR,UFR,FXR,XRR,FZR,MRT,FBM,FOX,FO8,BF1";

Otherwise Lapper will rotate track and car immediatly after staring and then FOX is no longer the default car and giving you the -/-

Hi,
If you want to use the track/car rotator.You can change the !top so you see always the current car in the !top list but you still get the -.- when the current car not equals the $DefaultTopCar. ( see post of Yisc[NL] above)

 
    CASE "!top":
      IF( $argv == "" )
      THEN
       top( getLapperVar( "CurrRotateCar" ));      
      ELSE
       top( $argv );
      ENDIF
   BREAK;

I also found a bug that got in from one of my updates (d'oh) that migth overwrite the DefaultCar. This change needs to made to the TopGrip function.

Thank you!! I'll check this! Thank you for your precious help!
I've disabled autorotation

and if my top default car is FOX and i play with FZ5 for example, i see "FZ5 global -/-" i can't understand, this feature was working on oldest version of lapper! Is it what Krayy is talking about?
