Get a English version of your site (and game?) and I’ll get some free traffic your way.
at the upper left corner you can select language ( english & spanish are not really finished yet, but we update them regulary )

Ah missed that.
I went to “Home » Help/Support » Start off a race”
and got these errors:
[quote]arning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/vor2/public/aide_demarrer_une_course.php on line 176
Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/vor2/public/aide_demarrer_une_course.php on line 194

Also randomly it change language again when I finished signing up.
Should hide passwords in the password field on sign up…
There is no loading page for the applet, which I found a little annoying not knowing how much it had completed.
But the applet itself runs nice 
Though couldn’t work out how to change the camera angle. It was always focus to the bottom of the boat.
wow :o it should be (we did not develop the website, this is done by an external societey …) I have asked for hidding the password a cupple of weeks ago cause it was not hidden on IE but was on chrome and FF (which browser ?), :’( really hard to understand it is not done …
about the mysql error I saw it too (something even more anoying for me is the fact error are visible online… they should only appear in the log file)
you should see an animated GIF while loading ? dont you have it ? (I will add a boot class later, but real progress bar may be very hard without signing the applet)
for now you have to click 3d view to focus and use “X” & “C” to change camera and keyboard arrow to rotate it
thanks !

Yeah had the GIF. But was a few min before I saw anything else.

I’ll give it a try. I just found it weird that it was in such a odd angle(as in a bug) and I couldn’t work out how to change it.
Edit: No longer having the camera issue, looks fine without needing to change it. I’ve got some traffic heading your way.

got another question, what java version do you use ? (for now I have used standard plugin parameters to show a gif while loading, it should only work on 1.6u10 + : I will update it later with something that should be a little more compatible and faster to start => a small booter applet)
