    start date/time

    Alright everyone, get practicing.

    RACING STARTS IN TWO WEEKS
    Tuesday 23rd of May

    There will be a practice run on this coming tuesday to clear up any issues before the start date.

    We will be playing over the gamespy network - those with copies dont worry because i know it works. I need someone fairly senior (that everone knows) that has a decent internet connection to host it via GameSpy. I know this means instally extra stuff but its the easiest way to make sure the non-geek types can join in.

    I will post here with what tracks we will race with on the first night.

    im for doing a testing run this week so that i can monitor what sorta bandwidth the game will use and make a decision on what is needed to host, we may have to end up doing it in 2 runs or something.....

    Umm, im pretty sure if you host it via gamespy network it is hosted somewhere on their servers... you just run it.

    Once you have installed GameSpy it is pretty straight forward.

    um nope thats an impossibility, it would simply cost them too much to make it worth while, it is merely a meeting point for hosting games. edit: oh yea and the ping would be terrible (and not due to our crap internet)

    there are 2 different ways games communicate these days

    1) Centrelised server: one comp is the host/server of the game, all clients send their info to the server and the server sends everyones info to the clients (games like counter-strike, wow etc use this)

    2) client to client (like p2p) all clients send their info to all other clients in the game (commonly used in rts games such as starcraft, warcraft, aoe/aom and c&c.

    i can see motogp being either of these.... therefor it needs testing. (i reckon its gonna be #1 though)

    [brag] i dont mean to brag or anything but ive been working with comps since before i was 5, ive set up a cyber cafe, ive ran various game servers, and i currently work as a laptop tech servicing laptops in the biggest computer company in nz. [/brag]

    I use my Logitech Momo FF wheel and pedals when playing GP 500...makes it real easy to hold around corners and variable throttle and brake makes it eeasy to control the bike...totally freaky in on-board view

    Joystick feels heaps more natural to me than a wheel or a keyboard.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
