B-Spec Grinder 2.5.2: Automate Remote Races

[tezster]

Running the newest version for about two hours now with no problems encountered so far.

Thanks again Yonis

Fantastic job there!

Been watching this thread (and the previous one) and just decided to try it tonight.

Very impressed - nice way to make some credits in the game without so much grinding. Also awesome right now as my slipped disk is stopping me playing otherwise!

If the ps3 is running online server mode.. can I shutdown the ps3 from my computer after I'm done with remote racing?

 

[LilMcGinley]

What he's asking for is a exception from the 1 person left rule.

He is Remote Racing from a second account.
He want to write in a exception for his first account when using the widget. While all the other friends on his list will be left with one driver to race with.

Exactly! I don't wanna screw my friend outta their racers, just my own

new version gets about 5-6 races going no problem then keeps hanging on selecting drivers Every version is doing that to me..sigh

 

[yonis]

Testing right now. The servers are performing terribly today. I'm having connections timing out and dropping all over the place.

trying the new version on my win 7 machine, says cant find sony servers. I tried pinging the addys and the pings kept timing out. I got my firewall off so not sure what's causing that. I can ping them from my XP machine which is on the same router.

edit: Now my win 7 machine runs it. Apparently something changed my LAN connections setting to use a proxy when I don't. I changed it back and now not only does this widget work but also a couple other problems I was having.

 

[puppy1985]

Froze again for 40 mins on selecting drivers.

Dies this after about 4 races

 

[frason]

For anyone having issues with 0.9.2-0.9.3 I've uploaded the version which works fine for me, the one released before 0.9.2.

You can download it here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4962892/B-SpecGrinder.widget 0.9.x.zip

 

[shines]

been running for 8 hours with a few errors that it recovered from automatically.

Great job Yonis.

Thank you.

 

[akira2501]

Any chance the Mac version can be modified for Linux use? : )

 

[evil_c5]

been running for most of the afternoon and its only had a small issue once, but i might have not let it load long enough thinking it had locked up.

 

[BeerBro]

i'm still running the 0.9 version, do you guys recommend updating to latest version, or hold out for now?

 

[Laynas_Daddi]

What would happen if I tried to run the widget from the pc but also tried to do manual mote races from the iPad??? Would that work?

You won't be able to start 2 races at the same time.

 

[Laynas_Daddi]

You won't be able to start 2 races at the same time.

That's what I figured.... Would have been an easy way to breeze my way to level 40

 

[sickskillz]

Been running the latest version for hours on end the past few days, and only a few crashes here and there, but nothing a reload or loading up the widget on my work PC can't solve.

Thanks yonis!

 

[GumbysDonkey]

Locked up on selecting drivers after a 2hr run or so. 2hours seems to be about the max I get before needing to do a reload.

 

[iNiff]

Is there anyway to run this without installing anything? It's just JavaScript right, can't we somehow run it in a web browser?
I don't have permission to install anything at work so when it crashes or my home computer does something stupid my day of auto races is over.

 

[firestartar]

The only problem i have consistently now is the hanging at "loading drivers". If it don't get stuck there, it works great. Could this be related to the number of friends? I have 86 in-game.

 

[evil_c5]

mine hung and i only have 5.

 

[evil_c5]

an iphone app would be UBER SLICK!

 

[firestartar]

Ok, that's that then..

Safari works fine.

That's about the same I get...

 

[mari]

been working fine for past 4 hours will leave running overnight & report back

 

[superdan]

This thing is great.
Is there a way you could make it only pick drivers from certain people?

 

[odyss3y]

Maybe there is a way to have it auto-restart if there is a problem, or if the status is the same for longer than 30 mins or something along those lines, so even if it errors overnight, it will reconnect.

 

[digitalfx]

I've been running the latest version for 7 hours without a problem. To minimize my chances of getting an error I have only been running the long races. Less new races to start hopefully means less chance to run into any problems.
