Issues caused by 1969 mod2006-02-23 16:11:30
Author: Ed Hut
As you know GPLRank accepts laptimes for the 1969 mod that was released at the end of 2005. Unfortunately we notice that there are laptimes that were driven with the 1969 mod as being laps of the original 1967 GPL version. We are aware that due to a bug in GEM2+, not all 1969 mods are properly patched, which causes the ini-files to be generated to be incorrect.

Therefore, please check if you 1969 version writes the laptimes to the file pla69w.ini file. This file is the equivalent of the player.ini of the original GPL version. Also, please check that in the pla69w.ini file, the line that starts with "CarNumber = " has a comment that reads "Carset (gpl69f1)". If it reads "Preferred car number" then your 1969 version of GPL is incorrect and your laptimes will be recorded by GPLRank as being 1967 ones.

Replays for World Record verification
Related to the issue with the 1969 mod, more people than you would believe are uploading replays for laptimes that were set with the 1969 mod. Please note that we do not yet verify laptimes of the 1969 mod. So please do not upload replays of 1969 laps.

Laptimes for GPL 1969 now supported2005-12-31 11:07:55

After the essential patch for the 69-mod was released GPLRank could be configured to accept laptimes for the 1969 patch.

If you don't have the patch yet, have a look at this RSC article.
69 Mod (update)2005-12-20 00:33:32
Author: Ed Hut
Before we get flooded with the "Will GPLRank support the 69-Mod?" question, the answer to that is "YES WE WILL".

UPDATE: for correct processing of laptimes of the 69-mod, Gem+ needs to make an update so that the ini-file contains an identification of the 69-mod (if you look in the plac65.ini that the 65-mod creates, look for the comment after the 'carnumber' value. This reads "Carset (gpl65f1)"). Unfortunately this has been forgotten in the initial release for the 69-mod, so an update is necessary. We are waiting for that update.

The login difficulties that GPLRank has experienced the past days have been resolved. You can now login properly again without having to tick the "Remember name & password" checkbox.
Login problem2005-11-30 08:29:34

We are currently experiencing a problem with the login to GPLRank when the user does not tick the "Remember name & password". This is probably due to some software upgrades that we have done recently, but till today we have not yet been able to find the cause and resolve the issue.

A work around is to tick the "Remember name & password" checkbox when logging in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
Recruitment of replay reviewers2005-09-01 06:46:04

There's no need to respond to the recruitment message anymore. We have received quite a few responses and are now busy processing them. If you have responded you can expect to be contacted shortly.
Replay reviewer(s) wanted2005-08-25 15:48:46
Author: Ed Hut
You might have noticed that the frequency with which new world records are posted on the front page of GPLRank has dropped quite a bit the past couple of months. Primary reason for this is that the current reviewers are doing this for several years now and are getting a bit tired.

So, we are looking for people that are willing to join the reviewing team and take some of the burden off the shoulders of the existing team.

If you are interested, then please drop me a line at edhut_amsterdam@yahoo.com.
New admin email address for GPLRank2005-08-10 03:43:48
Author: Ed Hut
I'm rather late with this announcement, simply because I forgot that the move to a new server for GPLRank, plus a new domain (gplrank.info) also meant that we had a new email address for the admins as well.

The new address is gplrank@gplrank.info. The old address (gplrank@blw.net) has not been working for some time now, so if you have sent a message to us without ever getting a response, then please give it another try.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

As far as we can tell, all should be fine with the new server (yes, it took a while...).

In case you find another one, please let us know.
