Re: AGL 14 Issues

Board » Technical Discussion

There has been a change to the raceinfo file on the server which is causing AGL to crash on DC checking. This is happening in the Buenos Aires to Punta del Este race, and I am not sure how long it will continue. The fix is to edit the auth_race_info file in the SOLGrib xml folder, and do the following:
1. Shut down AGL.

2. Add the line

<tilemap>i</tilemap>

after the line <maxlat>-33.0</maxlat>

You will need to check the resolution of the maps on the Misc tab. Use <tilemap>i</tilemap> for intermediate, <tilemap>h</tilemap> for high resolution.

3. Save and close the file
4. Go into the maps folder and delete any files in there.
5. Restart AGL

If you still have a blank graphics screen on checking DCs, delete the file autoGribLoader.ini. You will unfotunately lose all your settings, and will need to reconfigure AGL.

I have attached a working copy of the auth_race_info file for this race.

Re: Batch file that can create multiple instances of qtVlm

Board » Technical Discussion

New version that supports V15.12.0.

IMPORTANT: This is a significantly different version from previous ones. You need to delete all the folders in the target folder (where you run qtLinks.bat from) before running the linking batch file.

I've also included the batch file I use to launch qt from my race folder, which you can edit to suit.

Note: I did have an issue with one of my instances which kept crashing. Copying the qtVlm.ini from a working instance and overwriting the fault one fixed it. Obviously, you will need to edit the Configurations as they will be the same as the source instance.

There's a problem with AG14InstallDir.bat. Change the first line to
setx AG14InstallDir "C:\SOL\Java14\\"

and run it again. I've also put a copy on OneDrive that you can download

AGL14 Releases - 14.3.6

Board » Technical Discussion

A new version is here. There is an update and the full version. If AGL is already installed, you only need the update. This versions allows the OpenGL engine to be turned off and will still work with basic graphics. Also has a couple of bug fixes.

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!
