Big March Patch
NEW STUFF
# Added user search facility. Search by forename, surname or username.
# Added player profiles, containing basic information about that player, their ranking, active games and links to that players archived games.
# Added ability to edit custom text in your profile.
# Added links within the game pages to link directly to someones profile. Now driver names on the standing page, in game chat, and on the join game pages (including mid-season join pages and other areas) will now link to a players profile. This makes it even more easier to choose potential team mates, or indeed to evaluate the strength of your opposition!
# Added buddy system.
# Added personal messages system with inbox, sent box, address book (from buddy system), and new PM alerts on the game pages. Supports smilie codes.
# added e-mail alert option when receiving PM. This can be turned off via Edit Account if you wish. You will not receive an e-mail alert if you are online.
# Added ability to leave player comments on another players profile, receive e-mail alert when you get a new comment, and delete/censor comments from your own profile.
ENHANCEMENTS
# Private game owners can now restrict entries to a particular class. This will be of particular value in the Le Mans series if you just want to race with GT cars for instance, but applies to the BTCC Touring car and future multi-class championships too.
# Added "offset" dropdown to the race replay with the map (hence KT users only)... this allows you to move the cars around the circuit and position them optimially for a better view (previously it was difficult to tell what was going on with start-finish straights in the horizontal plane).
# Checks are now made when you select driver characteristics to avoid situations where not enough available characteristics were selected. It will also warn you if you select too many (previously the last ones you selected would be ignored).
# Provided a little more information to private game creators on the game creation page about min/max players, class size etc.
BUG FIXES AND CHANGES
# The "target position" dropdown in multi class racing originally referred to the overall position... now it refers to your position in class
# Bugfix where a special extra bonus when passing slower cars on wrong tyres was not being applied.
# Team password protect time increased to 20 minutes.
And we are not done yet...
As promised here is the second part of the update... specifically for te Le Mans Endurance Series. The carset has not yet been released yet so you wont see these features in game until play this particular series, but we have added a lot of code to the simulation a summary of which is listed below.
Added damage repair slider for Le Mans series... player can now have control to make car pit instead of lapping really slowly. The time spent in pits is relative to amount of repair work that needs to be done.
Due to the nature of endurance racing, the chance of having an outright retirement is much less - instead there are significant damage penalties, but these can be repaired if enough time is spent in the pits; this is complimented by the new damage slider. Essentially, this allows more cars to stay in the race instead of retiring - which may be more interesting for gameplay but is also more realistic for LMES.
Added virtual codrivers, extra "drivers" each with a different characteristic from the ones you chose - these can be placed in the car at different phases of the race
Added driver fatigue, causing slower lap times and risk of crashing, which can be resolved by changing co-drivers
Added night racing which has small influences on the underlying race code. At the moment you simply see a different set of weather graphics during night time running, but we may make the difference more stark at some point.
A small addition is the listing of the winning driver now in each class at the end of each race.
Too many Davidsons.
