This question is probably better off in a different thread as this one here is for the widget. I'd gladly chime in once you find the appropriate thread for it.

This special debugging version of 1.1.1 will spit out a lot of useful debugging information for me. If it hits one of the problems described above, please PM the debug output to me.
 
Oddly, I can't seem to keep 1.1.1 from giving me a TEMPORARY SERVER ISSUE and then cycling back through the process over and over. I have gone back to 1.0, launched it last night and it's still going strong this morning.

not sure why that is happenning but i want to let the OP know i have been using 1.1.1 for over 24 hours now and see no issues so far. sorry to those that are.
 
Tryed v 1.1.1 for the first time yesterday.

It worked perfectly! I can't wait for the next update.

That "always use" feature will be very usefull!

Congrats
 
I sent in a copy of my log last night to yonis which shows some detail around the "TEMPORARY SERVER ISSSUE" loop. My issue may be different from others, but it looks like everything is getting set up as expected, and then when the server is requested to start the race by the widget, it throws an error.
 
1.1.1 Is running fine today.

I noticed that when I use my main account with a 3 friends or more. I get the errors listed above.

When I use my second account with only my main as a friend, it runs for 24 hours non stop, no errors.

I assume that when your friends are being used in other remote races, then the widget jams up.
 
Noticed the same thing as Nickxx4360 does.

Since I don't have the full 6 drivers up (only put 5 up as one I still have a perfect record with in wins per races entered) I find in many spots that all 5 of my drivers are used. Is it the widget leaving one driver free if not all 6 drivers are shared?

The problem is, the people reporting the errors (including myself) are not using v.1.1.1 because it doesn't work for them. I'll run it now to try and get some error reports for you.

my latest 1.1.1 is running strong for a good 1.5h at the moment

I'm seeing problem reports but no hyper-detailed logs: please run the debugging version in this post.

I recently posted detailed logs and my steps here.
Also, here you go, running v.1.1.1, two races were fine then again "TEMPORARY SERVER ISSUE"
Thanks again for all your hard work.

Hey guys, I got a few questions...

1. Since I use the Widget, all my drivers are choosen at random, am I right?
2. Is it possible, using the Widget, to have shorter races? I mean, choosing 5 laps races instead of 25 laps race. That would help other's bobs so they won't be used for too long.
3. Is it possible, using the Widget, to choose ONE race and keep racing in it, changing the bobs after each race?
4. How do you "unlock" more driver slots? I am at 3 at the moment.

To sum it up, tell me your *best* way of B-spec grinding, using the Widget, to help your friends and be helped also.

Please note, I have actually 3 drivers. I want 'em to be used, but I also wanna use the maximum drivers I can from my friend list so I can return the favor.

Thanks!

1. All drivers shared online will be chosen at random.
2. Yes, using the option menu, you can select the length of the races the widget will run.
3. No, you can only select the length of the race, you cannot select any race individually to be automated by the widget.
4. Level up your B-Spec level. You need to get to level 25 B-Spec to have the full 6 Bobs.

Since I installed 1.1 I've been having the same problem also. I ran the debugger version earlier and copied the results for about an hour or so. I then went back to v1.0 which works really well for me and rarely throws up any problems.

Before I pm the results, is there any thing I need to remove? I just copied the whole log...

Nope, just send the whole log, it's fine.

If it's too big to PM, I recommend using PasteBin.

Thanks for the detailed account. However I was referring to a special version of 1.1.1 with lots of debugging functions in it:

http://www.anim8.biz/tmp/B-SpecGrinderDebug.widget.zip

Please run that and PM me the output when you get a chance!

This "option menu" you're talking about, is it the GT5's online options menu, or is it the Widget's options??

1.1.1 has been working all day for me!!
 
Hey all, my first post here! :)


First of all, thanks ALOT for this amazing widget, totally live it.
Don't know if this has been posted before, but I thought I'd share...

I've been caught into a "loop" yesterday.
It has been cycling through to starting race and 30 seconds later it went to "Race Ended" and started again with selecting drivers, then starting race, etc. etc....
The solution was simple, I closed the widget, went to the GT website, started a race from there and reopened the Widget in the mid of the race.
Since then it's been working perfectly!



Keep up the good work! :)
 
just dl'ed this widget and it has started its first race... neat. i'll run this for a few hours till it's 24 time for the wifey and me, and i'll turn the widget back on before bed... let it run all night.
