iGOR hosting header

To join a race, either:
  • select it in the racelist and click Join in the toolbar
  • double-click on the race
  • right-click on the race and choose Join.
Whichever way you do it, the following dialog will be shown (assuming the race has not already started (red X icon) and you have the track installed (red N/A icon if not)).

Note: if you get a message similar to 'No mods found', then you need to go to Options and check the path to GPL.  Then also check that sierra/gpl/mods/gplmods.ini is correctly configured, and restart iGOR.



Host Information

Information about the race is shown uppermost in the dialog -
  • Server Name
  • Mod
  • Race Status
  • Event Type
  • Server Info 1 (connection type)
  • Server Info 2 (geographical location)

Player Information

Player profile
- select the GPL player you wish to drive with in here. 
Mod Choice - If the host is allowing different mods, you will be able to choose the mod you wish to drive with here.  If the host is not allowing different mods, this option will not be visible.
Car - choose your car here.  This depends on the chosen mod, and the chassis that are allowed by the host.
Helmet Colour - select your colour here.  Due to the way the newer/3d helmets work, this colour will not work properly on anything but the original 2d style helmet graphics.


Options

Export standings
- not entirely sure this works for clients like servers ;-)
Save Replay - ditto
Log Chat - ditto :)  These three options are here for completeness more than anything!
Steering Hack - choose your hack
Fullscreen - fullscreen or windowed?  your choice.
Override Force-Feedback - select this to override your core.ini settings.  Note that host & join force-feedback override settings are kept separate.  Click on FF Settings... to change the values.
Show Network Meters - select if you want the red LQS meters to be shown in-game
Replay memory override - change the amount of memory allocated to replay memory here.


Passwords

Password - if the race is passworded, you'll have to type the correct password here in order to join.

Boss Password - if the race has a boss password, type it here.  Not required to join the server, but required for any boss commands (!eject ##, !shutdown, or controlling the event/status).
