VROC Installation and Setup Instructions
Before you attempt to host or join a race using VROC, please
do the following:
- Ensure you have purchased and installed the full release
version of Papyrus Grand Prix
Legends. We strongly recommend a full install, particularly
if you plan to host!
Note: If you've done a partial install and then a full install
over it, remove a file called lib.cfg from your GPL
installation folder (typically C:\SIERRA\gpl). This is important!
- Install Netscape 4.07
or newer. It's crucial that you have the correct browser!
We have tentative plans for uture support for Microsoft Internet
Explorer, but right now you need this version of Netscape to
support the Java functionality and security features required
by VROC.
- Enable Cookies in Netscape.
Click on Edit, then Preferences. Click on the Advanced item in
the list. Make sure that the Accept All Cookies radio button
is pressed, and click OK.
- Enable Page Refresh in Netscape.
Click on Edit, then Preferences. Expand the Advanced item in
the list and click on Cache. Make sure that the Once Per Session
or Every Time radio button is pressed, and click OK.
- Download the VROC software.
- Perform VROC
Setup. It's crucial that you enter the correct path
to your GPL installation folder, or you won't be able to launch
GPL through VROC!.
- When VROC asks you about permissions, grant them. If you
are worried about this, read our Security
Warning.
We also strongly suggest that you do the following:
- Read sections 1 and 2 of our Technical
Notes. Read these carefully. This can save you a great deal
of aggravation when you start participating in online races!
- Read Eagle Woman's GPL Online FAQ thoroughly. This document contains
important information about racing online in GPL. Please read
at least sections 1, 5, and 6!
- Read our core.ini Suggestions. You
can read more about the contents of the core.ini file in the
GPL
Online FAQ.
- Read our Development Notes for
information about known issues and our plans for future development.
- Read our Security Caution for
information about security issues involved in racing online in
GPL and VROC.
Now you're ready to start racing. Continue to the VROC
main page and choose a room to enter. |
