Hey all

I noticed something this morning while racing on RFR. If you look in the bottom corner you can see that it shows myself as being 3rd, but it ALSO shows who's behind me, which it doesn't do on madlaps.



May I ask why this is? I can't have the 'sector's window open when I race on madlaps as it causes lag, so i have no idea who's in what order when I'm racing. Surely if RFR shows who's behind you in the window at the bottom right then so can madlaps.

PS - I also noticed their server uses 'Aseco', is this something to do with it?

Thanks

I actually heard from mad last night that this is because rfr runs on round system whereas mad is on laps.

On laps u cant see who's behind you but on rounds you're able to!

He also said that he's going to do something soon so that Mad Laps runs on round...but i cant remember what he said that was! Rolling Eyes

Hmmm...does this mean we'll lose the sector records if we switch to rounds mode? I like having the sector/lap recs Sad

In rounds mode the thing at the top left shows you your OVERALL position, based on points, not your position in that race. As RFR only uses a points limit of 10, theres only 1 round, and so that little bit of information is totally useless Razz

As for the split times thing in the bottom right, I've noticed on RFR that it only ever shows the top 6 on that, although I don't know if thats a consequence of some option on the server setup, or if it's just a limit thats been put in by nadeo.

Yeah I think it's a server setting as I see a lot of servers that do show the times of people behind you

I'm working on it......

I figured it was a laps thing and that they really screwed it up when they 'fixed it' from united. It works in time attack and rounds, but seemingly not in laps. I admit that I havent played with all the server options yet as the new server controller is not fully written yet. As soon as it is we have a few options that we can play with... like running in rounds mode to simulate a laps server... you can now force multilap features in rounds mode, but if the top left indicator is useless in rounds then that sucks too. or other options which I have yet to play with...... progress is happening... slowly.

It's not "useless" on rounds mad, just useless if you're only using a 10 point limit Razz It works fine on the standard rounds servers that require 30 or so points Wink
