How to send your results |
(V1.5.3 - 1 October 2000)
It is very important that you submit your results following these instructions, strictly. If you do not send your results in the correct way, your result will probably not be included because the automated results processor won't see your result. You have been warned!
Qualifying
The 'Subject' of the mail must be of the form:
ICRESULT R1 Q
where 'R1' stands for round 1 (Australia). Replace 'R1' with the round of
the result that you are submitting (for example, you would use 'R2' for
the 2nd round, and so on).
1st part: The result
In the message body, write your result using the following template:
Round: (round of the championship, i.e. 1-16) Class: (the class that you compete in: ACE or PRO) Number: (your driver number) Driver: (your name) Team: (your team name) Qualify: (the time you achieved, for example: 1:21.098)
Note: The words before the the colons are keywords! You must not alter those keywords, otherwise you risk that your result will not be processed. So, please stick to the template above (you may find it useful to save it to disk so you can easily load it back up for your result mails).
Please stick to the 0:00.000 format when typing your lap time.
2nd part: Archive containing logfile
Secondly, you have to include your logfile (the output of AGPLapTime) with
this mail. You must name your logfile correctly, as described
below. For an ACE class driver with number 17, the logfile must
be named:
Logfile.A17
(Pro drivers would call it Logfile.P17 and so on)
You must then archive the logfile with LZX or LhA. Again, this file must be named correctly, using the same identifier as above:
QUAL_A17.lzx (or .lha)
would be the archive name for our hypothetical Ace class driver.
If your mailing software supports MIME (most mailers do, nowadays) simply attach this archive to the mail. If you don't have a MIME-capable mailer, you have to use a UUEncode program and insert the text that it produces into the mail - look at Aminet's util/arc directory to find one of those.
ICRESULT R1 R
where 'R1' stands for round 1 (Australia). In the same way as
for qualifying, replace 'R1' with the round of the result that
you are submitting.
1st part: The result
First, write down your race result with these lines in the mail body:
Round: (round of the championship) Class: (the class that you compete in: ACE or PRO) Number: (your driver number) Driver: (your name) Team: (your team name) Race: (the time of your race, for example: 1h23m45.678) FastestLap: (your fastest lap of the race, for example: 1:22.333)
Please stick to these formats for the times:
Fastest Lap: 0:00.000 Race time: - finished in the same lap as the leader of your race: 0h00m00.000 - lapped during your race 4 times but saw the chequered flag: -4 laps - retired in lap 20 (completed 19 laps): 19 laps
2nd part: Archive with logfile, and race description
Secondly, you have to include two or three files with this mail:
You have to give these files proper names, indicating which class you are competing in and which driver number you use. For an Ace class driver with number 17, the files should be named:
Logfile.A17 Description.A17
(Pro drivers would call it Description.P17 and so on)
You must then archive the files with LZX or LhA. Again, the file archive file must be named correctly, using the identifier from above:
RACE_A17.lzx (or .lha)
would be the archive name for our hypothetical Ace class driver.
As with qualifying, you should attach the archive to the mail.
