GPL online: 1.0 vs 1.1

7 posts by 3 people · 29 Sep 1999 - 29 Sep 1999

Hi everybody ! Actually, I have no ability to race online and cannot compare the subj myself, but... There is an increased minimum ride hight (from 1 inch to 2.5 ) in GPL 1.1 according to readme11.txt and impossibility to make it lower in setup ) But I've found a huge number of low setups in the Web to be fastest. So the question: Are these versions compatible online? And if they are, is it fair enough ? Are the users of v1.1 dedicated to be slower than nearly the same skill drivers who use non-patched GPL ? Warren.
Sorry if I wrote something incorrect, but I meant if I play with my friend who uses GPL 1.1, and me - 1.0 ,do I theoretically have an ability to setup my car lower and faster ?
Thank you, Liutger . Don't you know, what version dominates in online racing ?
the network protocol of version 1.1 is incompatible with 1.0. you won't be able to connect your machines that way though ... Lio
1.1 at the moment, but 1.2 is on its way and will be used as soon as it is out, because it fixes some annoying problems with 1.1 ... it's the same with all online-games: the newest version regardless of incampatibilities with older versions is almost always used (take a look at quake(world) and the successors e.g.) Lio

GPL versions are not compatible online (1.0 will only connect with 1.0, 1.1 with 1.1, the soon to be 1.2 only with 1.2). If you load a "low-rider" setup into 1.1 or later, the ride eight is automatically raised to the new minimum.
