Major enhancements to Show Buddy Activity2004-03-15 18:09:04
Author: Ed Hut
For those of you that want to keep an even closer eye on buddies and fellow league racers, the Show Buddy Activity page has become even more useful. From now on it doesn't only show handicap updates, but laptime updates per track as well. You can now also filter on active buddies only.

Because the gathering of all that data is quite intensive, the page will show as much data as it can gather in about 12 seconds. If not all your buddies or league members are shown in one go, you can use hyperlinks to navigate through the pages.
Steer method added to MCH2004-02-22 06:43:54

In Multiple Choice Hell you can now also use the steer method to select laptimes. This has been requested by numerous people, but it was gamepadder ZAR that gave me that final push to implement it!
Back-2-back handicap history2004-01-25 10:08:12
Author: Ed Hut
You can now compare your handicap history with those of other drivers. To do this, select the other driver's history graph. On top of that page is a link to the back-2-back graph.

Another graph enhancement is that the laptime history graph now shows the benchmark time (for tracks that are part of a rank) and the current official world record (only for tracks for which record laps are being reviewed by GPLRank admins). In case of non-F1 laps, the hotlap acceptance benchmark of JC's Hotlap Site is being plotted.
New feature: laptime history2003-12-29 07:30:00
Author: Ed Hut
Since implementing the new ini-processing on 15 September 2003 we have been keeping a history of laptimes and now is the time to start making use of them. The first new feature is that you can now have a look at how your laptime has developed over time. On the rank detail pages the laptimes now have hyperlinks to a history graph of the laptime.

I'm still developing another feature with which you can keep close tabs on your buddies and league members, providing they dare to upload their laptimes of course :-)
Bugfix for GPL Replay Analyzer 7.52003-12-27 09:21:14
Author: Ed Hut
A small bug was discovered in GPL Replay Analyzer 7.5. The bug is that the last laptime of the file that is being uploaded to GPLRank is truncated, meaning a faster laptime was submitted than actually driven. This only happens with GPLRA 7.5 on Win9x and WinME. People running either Win98 or WinME should get this version 7.51 if they use GPLRA to upload times to GPLRank, either direct via GPLRA or via the GPLLaptimes.ini file. WinXP and Win2k-users does not have to upgrade.

After upgrading, just resubmit your times and GPLRank will store the newly uploaded laptime.
Small enhancement of 107% page2003-12-16 18:18:49
Author: Ed Hut
In the 107% page you can now limit the tracks that will be displayed to just one specific rank. Somebody suggested this enhancement a while ago. I don't remember who it was (I don't archive all my email), but thanks to whoever it was!

Close collaboration with JC Hotlap Site2003-12-03 17:46:53
Author: Ed Hut
Many of you may not be aware of JC's Hotlap Site, which is dedicated to all non-F1 car classes. This great website collects replays and setups of many tracks, so that people that want to drive non-F1 classes can benefit.

From today GPLRank stores all replays that are served by JC's and checks for interesting laptimes when people upload their laptimes. If you already have a non-F1 account at GPLRank, find out now if you have laptimes are considered interesting.

If you have never driven a F2 car, or have swapped a F2 engine in a F1 chassis to create a FD class car, head over to JC's Hotlap Site to find out more!
Chassis selection for track statistics in MCH2003-10-24 17:53:55
Author: Ed Hut
By request of Ruud Dingemans, the track statistics feature in MCH now takes the selected chassis into account. As Ruud described it: "I'd like to see how I'm doing as a BRM driver on a certain track if I'm driving the BRM, since comparing it to the average time (with all those Lotii and Eaglii around) kinda shrouds the results."

I intend to include selection for car class as well sometime soon. Watch this space!
