B-Spec Grinder 2.5.2: Automate Remote Races

[nickxx4360]

Please run this command in the debugger and post the results:

JSON.stringify([CONFIG.currentEvent, CONFIG.events])

=> [null,[{"id":5542,"laps":5,"maxEntrants":16,"time":5},{"id":5543,"laps":7,"maxEntrants":16,"time":10},{"id":5544,"laps":10,"maxEntrants":16,"time":20},{"id":5545,"laps":6,"maxEntrants":16,"time":5},{"id":5546,"laps":9,"maxEntrants":16,"time":10},{"id":5547,"laps":25,"maxEntrants":16,"time":20},{"id":5548,"laps":3,"maxEntrants":16,"time":5},{"id":5549,"laps":5,"maxEntrants":16,"time":10},{"id":5550,"laps":12,"maxEntrants":16,"time":20}]]

this is what I get.

Thanks

I love this little widget!

Very well done.

Thanks for sharing it!

Mine works, but keep having server issue.

Is it because my account is in Singapore?
By the way, I do have to keep my Ps3 on @ server standby right?
Just wanna clarify. Thanks

Correct, it needs to be in standby mode logged in with the account you are using on your PS3.

how to put ps3 in standby mode????? debug says PS3 disconnected

In the remote race section, you can select server standby mode.

GT life -> community -> remote racing -> standby mode

For these, and plenty of other questions (and answers too!), there's the Remote Race FAQ.

Ive been trying to use this while at work and at home, it doesnt work. It stops whenever it gets to the selecting drivers part, then waits for a good 10 minutes, then starts over. Id rather just do this manually online.

Cool idea though. I sure as hell couldnt build something like this so big respect for knowing how to do this.

 

[nickxx4360]

Any idea why I am getting that error Yonis? it tries to loead my racer, then goes into a constant load loop.

I've been having that same problem for the last hour or so now. Reloading the widget eventually resolves it instead of waiting forever.

I'm looking at this problem for the next update; I'm completely rewriting the driver selection code.

I'm looking at this problem for the next update; I'm completely rewriting the driver selection code.

While you're at it, besides choosing which friends to get bobs from, is it possible to add an option for making the widget wait until there are x number of drivers available before starting the race? Sometimes it seems the gt.com server doesn't release the drivers in time, and the widget ends up running a long 20 minute race with only 4 drivers, while there are actually 18 bobs available to choose from (but apparently still busy according to gt.com).

So, if you could tick a box to "wait until you get at least 14 drivers" or something before starting a race, that would be great. But these are just icing on the cake, if you're looking for stuff to do.

BTW sent donation today, thanks for all the good work. 👍

Ran Mine All night and Dont think I had any problems. I didnt have the Debug Window open but When I woke up it was still running Races!


Great Work Yonis!

Hey guys,

When you see this error (note the very small amount of time between messages):

03/02/11 12:29:01.611: ###############Server sent bad data.  Retrying.  (Attempt 1)
03/02/11 12:29:03.897: ###############Server sent bad data.  Retrying.  (Attempt 2)

03/02/11 12:29:05.179: ###############Could not successfully retrieve data!  Will try reconnecting in 1 minute.

Try pasting this in the debug window.

CONFIG.activeDriverCount = CONFIG.queueCount = 0

Does that fix it for you?

 

[yonis]

Any idea why I am getting that error Yonis? it tries to loead my racer, then goes into a constant load loop.

I'm not sure, I need to take a closer look at the event selection code tonight...

 

[Sanga-81]

Hi Yonis,

I tried putting the above in the evaluate window and pressing reload still got the errors:

03/03/11 07:34:36.006: RAW STATUS: Ready.

I'm sharing 6 drivers and I have 3 GT5 friends with at least 1 of them sharing a driver.

Location for my account is Australia and Server is set to Australia.

I tried putting the above in the evaluate window and pressing reload still got the errors:

Don't reload the Widget after pasting that code in the Evaluate field. Just hit Enter and wait for the Widget to try again.

 

[puppy1985]

Just to let people know, I was having problems with slow loading times for loading drivers etc, hanged for a very long time.

But I was running the widget on my g/f really old laptop. Iv since used it on my 3 month old vaio and it's running alot smoother.

Iv also noticed that it runs faster via a cabled connection rather than wi-fi.

Not sure if its coincidence or luck or what.

 

[Sanga-81]

Don't reload the Widget after pasting that code in the Evaluate field. Just hit Enter and wait for the Widget to try again.

Thanks but still no luck mate. Same error.

 

[nickxx4360]

I've been having that same problem for the last hour or so now. Reloading the widget eventually resolves it instead of waiting forever.

I reloaded many time to no avail

 

[vakie-81]

I reloaded many time to no avail

Did you try running a race from gt.com first?

 

[nickxx4360]

Did you try running a race from gt.com first?

I am running them manually @ the moment

 

[vakie-81]

I am running them manually @ the moment

I meant, try running a race from gt.com, then after the race is done, try starting a race with the widget..

 

[nickxx4360]

Yes, I did that also. I will try on another PC when I get home.

Thanks

 

[Sanga-81]

Don't reload the Widget after pasting that code in the Evaluate field. Just hit Enter and wait for the Widget to try again.

I set options as below and it's now working.

CONFIG.activeDriverCount = CONFIG.queueCount = 0
Free Up 0 Drivers (Was previously set to 1)
Races of Any Length (Was previously set to Max Length)

I'll send you more info when I narrow down what is causing the errors.

 

[Blitz24]

Need to be careful about setting to 0, the issue might have been the race length size.

 

[fissionproject]

I have no idea why everyone has so many errors with this widget

I've been running mine for a week with maybe 1 code problem - simple reset and I was fine

11 races in a row so far today with no problems...

 

[Jafo]

I had this error, earlier today, when I was at work.

It's been running flawlessly ever since though. Thank you, yonis for this wonderful program!

Seems like PD server problems Jafo

Yonis, Any Idea why I just got this Popup?
