Try something for me - set grid on practice server
« on: April 05, 2015, 02:51:55 PM »
Hey guys, can you try something for me. I want to see if I can have a set grid order, and still allow a practice/qually session before the race.  The Tue practice server is up with the following grid, IN THIS ORDER:

1. Bafs17
2. Freezer
3. G0RGAK
4. Gratulin
5. Grubbet
6. Jeremy
7. Krahl
8. Marty
9. Matthew111
10. Perch
11. Rob
12. Rolz
13. Shameless
14. Simone
15. StanDaam
16. UnFknBLievable
17. Vipergod
18. Wally
19. Whitemoo
20. Wobblyone
21. Ysu


If what I've done is right, you can have a qually session, but when you start the race, you will be in the set position above. This is an experiment to see if I can eventually reverse the grid etc.

Admin password is the usual XGN password. You can become admin with:

/admin password

and then go

/next_session

I was just on the server by myself, and it seemed to work. Even though I qualified 1, I started in P18. Boo yeah. I now have the technology to reverse the grid, or part thereof. This means we could do something like reverse the top 10 in the 3rd race for the remainder of the season, based on race 2 finish position.

Alright, I'll put you on, but in a bogus car. I didn't want to let the cat out of the bag ;)
Hang on...

Strangely, I don't see other cars in the pits.

And the server's not looping... but no biggie for Tuesday nights.

This is what I've been waiting for.
A decent gap between races while Wally dicks with the grid to have a ciggie. ;D

LOL, they're onto me.

Good ol' NetKar days, hey Bacchulum? Sorry, it's all done with a press of a button these days.

I wonder how this would work in a series were grid order would be reverse of season standing each race with no qualifying other then the first round. We dont have Ballast but do have Wally hacks now and maybe they can be used to fight off those guybrush hacks in a good hack vs evil hack battle.

Yeah, that's an evil idea. 
It'd lead to much grief, at least in the past reverse grids were usually asking for trouble.

Let's test it out on a small scale, first :)
