TOPIC:

Well guys thanks to Buck sending me some things to easily sort the fast times in servers (thanks a million Buck), we can start doing some Fast 10 dealios kinda like Fuo used to have. RIght now it will be manual instead of autoposting but maybe later we can get it to auto post your times to the site...But for now I'll put up a server in the browser called Fast 10s or something and keep track of it for a week. For example this weeks track would be 41st, and the times from if we had this last week would have looked like this (in late models):

VLR_Shock 12.137665
D14 12.137665
Jim 12.137939
D!d!e 12.138123
MM06 12.172745
Do!t 7 12.172859
BLS 12.190285
K&N 12.190285
IFRT_67r 12.192936
Woods 12.207825
Xstatic 12.207825
herb 12.210479
RowDy 12.21048
mad 12.21048
Doit 5 12.225365
Keith 12.225365
58 12.228024
Do!t7 12.228024

What he said^^ This could get interesting......

Now how is this actually working?..I might have missed something here,idk..Are these times being put down from when a server is full of ppl and one of them write everybody lap time down after every race? Or can you go in the server at any time even by yourself and run and the server saves the time itself..If so..I its 3:00 am Central Time and i just race a couple in that server with the Late Models..I think i ran like 5 or 6 races..and one race i hit a .20 and my quickest was my last race which was a .19...So how will all this be put on here?..By someone going into the server and looking at the Log going through ALL the races..which to me would seem to be a pain in the A** just to look up lap times..Or is something being automatically saved.

Yeah it does it automatically Rowdy I put the results file into excel and run the program and it sorts it by laps at every track. It only allows for the default late model chassis, though, so no one will beat your time using a modified or something...

Its a excel program that was created by doit 7 it is a peice of the software that doit has been running on the 72 servers for more than a year, the monitoring software thats on the 72 servers is way more advanced than the one shock is useing. We have ours set up to send a message out if you break the preloaded fast lap on any track and ours will log any chassis as long as I preloaded it. We also can compare any track to the preloaded track for miss matches and we use a sound bite counter to count the 000111 bites from the games engine pitches. What we gave to shock was just a small part, if he was closer I would load him up, if your gonna practice your edited tracks and mixed chassis or hyper shifting the 72 servers has never been the best place to do that.

ok im going to answer a couple of questions I got by email.
1. what software are you useing?
2. how does it work?
3 can i put it on my own server?

The software is actually VB-2009 C++ and Pearl 5 and MS excel

heres how it works: The server transmits info to each player at the load screen, certain files are transmitted back and forth to each players computer, such as car, skin, track, player name, lap times, server data, and more.
The point here is I want to see that data as well. I want to compare all the data from each of the players to original files. this is what the C++ script does, it is loaded on the server and directed to pull this data from the encripted send game files from each player that loaded. it is sent to a server log storage files on doitracing.com where Pearl 5 scripts converts the data to raw text. we use wild thing to stream that info to a computer next to my racing computer where it is almost real time(about a 1 min or so lag ) at that point it is sorted by 4 microsoft excel spreadsheets all looking for miss matches in the preloaded files. Buck is an master with excel and has writtin some very nice scripts like the one shock has.
Now you would think that was enough RIGHT? WRONG the big problem is the server won't allow you to send this kind of data with out a backdoor port. and unless you own the servers you can't get the permissision to do so. I messed with this for weeks trying everthing to try and send data backwards. Thanks to my brilliant daughter thats the head IT tech at Edward Air force Base, she looked at it and said. well dad, you dont need permission from your servers when all the data you are wanting is sent thru 2 ports that go to the game spy servers. simply just tap into them and redirect them to your web site instead of gamespy. thats all I gonna tell you guys I spent a lot of my time developing this monitoring system. I know it kinda lame compared to punk buster, but its a start and it works. Big thanks to Buck, Kim. and Randy at server specialist.

I wanna thank Buck for the lineup sheet thing he sent me. We used it tonight and had the B Main lineups out almost simultaneous with the heat races ending. The last heat race ended and less than a minute after that both B Main lineups were posted...thanks again Buck! And that stuff is cool karl.

You guys are a bunch of nerds! lofl

The Lineup sheet rev7 is a great tool.
you paste your point sheet in and the program will do all the rest.
line it up rank or reverse rank or random up to 10 heats
it will line up all the features for you from the result of the heats
the newest verson will keep track of the points as to how each player finished
and send them to a new spread sheet where you can paste it to your web site.
Makes it kinda easy and nice, Doit has been hoarding this one but gave it to WFO a month ago
and Ice seemed to like it very well. We got some new stuff were playing with, I talked to Buck tonight and we will be puting some of our stuff up for download and give free use rights to use it.

Shock, one last note on the server data monitor it will store 2000 entries so you won't need to look at it every day and it will still give you the same results. a week later. for your quick 10's

I second the motion!

I must admit this is perty cool guys. I've heard a few ins and outs about it and that is awesome. BUT, i must agree with jim as well
