Flyin' Miata Super Cup | *Congrats to World Champion Aderrrm!*

[carracerptp]

Avg. finishing spot, Avg. qualifying spot?

 

[Motor City Hami]

I can make a video. It can be trailer style, maybe about a minute long would be ok?

Wardz - good ideas. Let's hook up on the video thing. Probably under 2 min. We don't tend to use voice overs, just short text overlays. I can send you some examples. Send me an email at keith.hamilton@teamdetroit.com

It would be nice to have a few stats like number of races, etc. Problem with that is that every one of them would have to be updated every week. We could do track records, pole positions as those would only have to be updated every once in a while.

Edit: I'll come up with something. We'll save this discussion along with others for the Season 4 thread.

Is anyone up for some practice races ? feeling very lonely in my lounge

I'll take that as a no lol.... anyway best time tonight - 1:33.942

I'm still at work.

But not sure if I'm getting on tonight, maybe just log in to keep my 200% rewards. It's Ghost Hunters night!

OK, I just got "gold" in all the license test
With a wheel it's not nearly as hard with a controller.
RT, When can you send me the typefaces for the logo?

Little over an hour?

RT id rather wait a bit with my GT5 corrupting I have nothing

Wait for what?

The new driver profile thing.

The new driver profile thing.

Oh, I'm not going to ask for those for a while. We won't be using any of the GT5 info anyways, it will be replaced by FMSC stats. 👍

I could actually write you a php script that could write stats on the images with data exported from a spreadsheet or live in a database... so that you wouldn't have to keep re-creating images... you know they'd create themselves with internet black magic like the original one from the gamecards does.

Be there in about 10-15 minutes.

On a related note, I just realized that barring an epic disaster or a disconnect, Adam has the championship pretty much wrapped up.

That would be awesome.

Yeah pretty much. The race should still be epic though.

Im gonna have to plan something that will prevent Aderrrm from winning... hmmm maybe hire someone to unplug his internet during the race MUAHAHAHA lol

I am no longer in the room. But when I left, Green, Delta, and Outlaw were still there.

 

[paulmac2k9]

Ok since I know were not using them heres what I look like after my corruption



Whats wierd is I changed my profile pic but my old suit is still there, on the left (which was my WSGTC MR-S gear) but has my new suit on the right . Also still got my Trophys

On a funny note ive got Wardezes helmet in saints row 3

I can picture you laughing like Dr Evil right there.

All I know is that I won't be challenging for the win. My car is trashing about in the low to mid 34s. I broke into the 33s just once and that was after endless laps of going off on T6 and going around exiting Rainey curve.

Its the only way Aderrrm can be stopped. I can manage low 34s quite easily after my work on brake bias. I have managed mid 33s but thats on my limit. Oh and Laguna eats front tires like madness.

A fellow GTP PHP coder?
Got to love imagettftext... I actually, have never tired using a google doc for a database in PHP. Sounds like fun.

GT5 Gamercards
Please don't look at the trophies...
I just did them as quickly as posable back in december....

Finally it updated.

I definitely need to get into PC sim racing now. GTR3 announced with a teaser site revealed. http://www.gtr3.com/ OMG just listen to that engine sound! I think I might sell my PS3 and just buy a really good PC just to play this. Oh and rFactor 2 beta coming soon!!

 

[CodeRedR51]

^^^ Sounds good but something about it still sounds artificial.

Yeah, been working on this for another series. I picked up php in college and it's come in very handy at work for doing reporting and data analysis.

"internet black magic" is the best way to describe the image manipulation you can do with png headers and imagettftext.

I guess if google docs has an open soap service I could tie directly into it... But I wrote a pretty nice class for manipulating csv data which can be exported from any spreadsheet app. You can get a copy here if you want it... hate to toot my own horn but It's pretty good and very useful. Been meaning to put it out in the wild for some time now just haven't gotten ambition to put up a code reference site with all the toys I've made.

 

[NEPALII]

Im sure they will improve it as development has only started a few months back. This is the first teaser they release. I cant wait to drive real GT cars!!

Edit: More info to be revealed on the 15th! Im excited for this!! http://www.raceroom.net/news/simbin/gtr3/teaser-interview/

Oh snap... simbin is making a new engine finally. Thanks for the heads up now I know what one of my steam christmas purchases will be.

 

[NEPALII]

If the game succeeds in Sound and Graphics, I dont mind having downgraded graphics. But, the new engine should solve the graphics problem with Simbin's games. rFactor 2 doesnt even look that good, to be honest, but Im excited for it!

I just looked at it quickly and it looks good 👍
I'm not sure if you didn't, but you should sanitize or escape the inputs from the CSV database if you are loading it from a separate server, it helps stop potential problems.
I have played with XML databases (created a ground up custom CMS) and of course SQL (use this all the time), but never CSV.
That CSV seems like a genius idea, as Google docs exports in that format.
I at first thought that you were ripping the data right out of the Google HTML file .

Has anyone here try IRacing?
Now that I have a DFGT I might try it out.
