I like the LFSlapper a lot and only play on server with lapper installed.
On my own server I have a problem.
My LFSlapper ver. 3.8 sometimes stops working when a racer renames. It sometimes stops as well if somebody on my server has massive lag. Is there a solution for this problem ?
I used W9 and W10 patch - now I´m back to the official version.
Using version 3.8 I get these mgs. now:
"Unknown packet received: PLA"
"Unknown packet received: FLG"
What does it mean?
BTW: I have seen a slightly modified version of lapper where instead of the TPB at every split another result was displayed. It was the time how far you off your actual !top result on this server at split 1 and 2 ( BL1 ). I liked it better then the TPB display.
Now you really gave me a hard time here . See the attached files. Add. go and check the !tops of the fx. Apexi or Zion demo servers.. Pls. dont say now I´ve added all these names into my PB.txt. And this is what you should do with your post: >>> :bluegrab: <<<
You too see the attached files and check on it. Sure it would be a very good idea to race a 1.33.00 or a 1.32.98 on BL1 pretending being another known person...OMG...
As other Racing sims/games are improving as well --> including their demo version <-- it IMO would be a fatal fault not to listen to demo racers anymore towards impovements of the LFS demo.
You´re becoing my very good friend here on the forums, NOT!
I´ll give you another offtopic comment on this one at the very end of my post...
The demo needs improvement like the full version of the LFS game does.
The demo version is the starting point to later on buy the S2 full version. At least thats the basic idea of the game makers. Of course there have to be improvement suggestions from demo users as well - in order to get more S2 players at a later stage. A shitty demo version of a game kills every full version. IMO you are allowed to question theirishnoob´s starting post about adding a faster car but your statement of banning demo from this section doesnt witness of a lot of knowlegde.
Some peope simply can´t affort the full version because of their economical situation. A lot of them live in countrys which aren´t some new EU members..
Another point is that there are demo players which never ever go on to play the full version. Simply because they like the track/car combo, have made A LOT OF Demo friends and like more to get experts with 1 or 2 cars/ 1 or two tracks. My team now is 6 month old and I just ask them if they wanna go the S2 way. No, they just like it the way it is. And I fully respect and fully understand their decision as I have played the TOCA Race Driver 2 demo for years and still play the BF2 demo only - even I have the full version installed on my PC.
-----------
As a demo server owner I installed W9, later W10 as well in order to help LFS to make it a better game. So you dont think Demo Racers should post improvements suggestions as well as point test patch bugs out ??? hmm...
Let me come to an end:
How comes that people like IDIW, Rusty, Montabaur, NOS.PBU and Biohazard frequently join demo servers racing with demo players?
Cause we all ( the demo players ) are noobs with bad ideas only? Pls. give me a break here...
As an admin it´s impossible to start a kick-/banvote with mouse. Guests are able to. Commands /kick XXXX /ban XXXX 0 works fine as an admin. Double-checked with another Demoserver.
I now have installed version3.8 but unfortunately it doesn´t do the trick as I was running server version 0.5V only. But thanks for helping I´ll now read/ask in LFSLapper thread in the unofficial addons section.
EDIT: opening the PB.txt with notepad and changing all entries:
a) XF GTI to XFG
b) XR GT to XRG
c) XR GT TURBO to XRT
was the solution for me.

Very good - no reset on space. Very good as well - the race start.
I think I have a minor problem here. I always have had lapper running on my dedicated demo server. Before patching the cars were called XF GTI and XR GT and it now has changed to XFG and XRG. Now lappers starts to create 2 new PB databases. One for XFG and XRG. It doesn´t do anything to my old !top PB lists anymore.Noobs are running track records and other racers do a new PB which is 5 secs. of their actual !top list rankings. Pls. help me out here. I think I have to tell lapper that XF GTI is now called XFG or - second possibility -my server that XFG is to be called XF GTI ... Sorry if I´m offtopic.
