No Lap Recording in Weekend Drive

[kidrock]

Did any of you guys notice that laps aren't being recorded on Weekend Drive? I was just driving on it in practice mode and noticed that no matter how many laps i did around it the lap remained the same while the lap time continued to increase. Any ideas?

This is because Weekend Drive does not have lap sequence defined. If you open data/tracks/weekend/track.txt, it's lacking the lines that define lap sequence (timing sector). Lap counter change is triggered at timing sector 0.

Since you have mentioned this, there is another problem related to lap sequence at Spa as well. The start/finish line is not on timing sector 0 on this track. If you look at the track map, the timing sector 0 is at the red colored line. And you will notice the lap counter gets updated only when you cross this line on the track map, not the spot where you start the race.

That explains a lot. It still would be nice to be able to race on it though. Is anyone planning on making it so that it has a lap counter?

I've updated the lap sequence in svn. If you are not running svn, just add these 3 lines into data/tracks/weekend/track.txt,

lap sequences = 2
lap sequence 0 = 0.000000,0.000000,0.000000
lap sequence 1 = 3.000000,0.000000,0.000000

Thanks so much!! I am just about to put this in.
P.S. What exactly is SVN??? Thanks again

[kidrock]

ODD!! I just tested it out and it reads 692 laps??? what is up with that???

when i replaced weekend on the svn for the track.txt i got a huge glitch! My car fell through the floor the game froze, my screen blanked out and i was forced to reboot by holding down my power button ! THIS NEEDS SOME WORK!! did you even test it out yourself?? hock: hock: hock: :?: :?:

It works for me in the latest development version. This track is a little buggy sometimes. Our collision detection sucks right now (fixes soon 8) ) and the landscape around this track disagrees with it. If you run off track the car will probably flip around and may fall through the ground somewhere. Stay on the track and you shouldn't have this problem.

You should replace your whole data/tracks/weekend/track.txt file with this one: http://svn.vdrift.net/viewvc.py/trunk/da...threv=1674

i did that. i know that this track is buggy but even before i start to move the game glitches! i just started and my car was upside down and falling through the ground!! same problem each time! Any ideas?

Which car gives you this experience? Have you tried different cars? I had some success with the TL2 as long as I kept it on the road.

[kidrock]

i did it with the tc. i will try it with other cars though.
EDIT: tried it with different cars with the same issue.this problem started directly after you made the laps so im guessing its a problem with that

Is this happening in Practice Game mode or Single Race? I'm guessing Practice Game since you mention opponent problems in the other thread. Just making sure.

Honestly I'm not sure why it doesn't work. Double-check the track.txt file, and make sure it is exactly the same as the version I linked to you before. Just to be sure, you might want to delete the file and create it again. Or...

Since you're about to check out a copy of SVN anyway (according to your other thread) you could just use that, it should work. Good luck...

[kidrock]

it is in practice mode and i am going to just use the svn one. sadly yesterday my dad unplugged my internet when i was 90% done with downloading so i had to start again today! oh well i can do some homework while i wait.

[kidrock]

your right it does work in the developer version. its great and thanks for making it so quickly
