Minorating.com (drivers thread)

when i type
/mr incidentinfo
i get "your AB" msg back, but no confirmation of the feature being enabled?

also /mr help doesnt show any commands
it only says im not admin on server.

 

another thing i want to report..
just happened in barcelona gp
at race start we gone 4 wide and to avoid contact in t1 i went over the pit line, and it gave me a warning, is that supposed to be like that?after the third warning for situations like that it wil gift me mad CPS?
since no one should be comming out of the pits at race start.

 

Thanks i tested that with someone in the server, when i or he bumped so i got the message in the top screen about how many points and so on but i see your point don´t want that sheck.
i only activated it for me, so everyone else did not get that message but that´s maybe the point.

Shouldnt the pit lane line only be for those exiting pits? People racing should be allowed to cross the line as its still valid track for them unless there is a specific track rule at some circuits that is.

 

Yep, I think it is necessary to cross the pit line track side sometimes, it would atleast detract from the racing if you couldnt e.g Zandvoort and Brands main straights. IIRC people habitually cut part of pit entry at some tracks as well e.g Interlagos.

 

Yes, it should be only for those coming from the pits. I actually tried that on Minolin's server at Imola and it seemed to work.
Crossing from outside the pits gave no warning both in and out.
Going through the pit lane and then crossing the line gave the warning, just like expected.

 

I tried it on Minolin's server too and had exactly the same results.

But since TDS wrote he got a warning for crossing the line, did I miss the news that the update on CP for cutting is out of testing only on your server and deployed for the masses?

 

Still not out to the masses on the MR website.

 

the 0.9 cp session was the one, i guess we had a little contact, but the pit line cut warning also triggered.

 

how could I possibly know tho, it was an ACR server i joined randomly cause it was f138 heheheh

 

humm maybe they are using an inhouse plugin giving the messages and the fact the server was using MR too confused me into thinking it was an MR msg, this just crossed my mind.

 

Once a question,
Can not you combine the Minorating CP with Penalty?
For example,
0.5 CP = 5 seconds slow down or
1.0 CP = 10 seconds slow down.

 

IMO a forced immediate slow down would create potential hazards and a slow down during the lap could ruin your race for a slight touch. It may deter some wreckless behaviour but it could also remove fair racers from a good battle/race for a very slight contact.

 

forced slowdown sucks... I'd almost prefer a time if not pit drive though penalty... both tough enforce on pub servers , will need AC integration I think...

Looking forward to CP awarded on track cuts, that'll weed out a lot of unworthy AB drivers.

 

Admittedly we dont have a huge amount of Joe public in but when we do I cant say cutting has ever been an issue. We dont even have penalties on anymore but I cant recall ever having kicked someone for cutting... if I have it was a long time ago.

 

I'd rather have CP multiplied by 10 than slow down penalties.

 

The last thing I would want to see is forced slow down penalties for contacts. It's bad enough getting them for accidental track cutting/collision avoidance. The only thing they are good for is killing my race enthusiasm stone dead, and they do that with style.
