Ah I remember running in that, a lot of fun. But yeah, that might be getting a bit too technical for me though. And I would probably need a web page for that application to display the times, which is more than I can do. I have tried doing a web site before, and failed, hehe.

So maybe I'll just leave it as is. LFS does give enough information for me to run this the way I want so it's ok for now.

Edit: I think I will contact him anyway and see does he have and ideas/tips for me.

Thanks again

Well, unless I missed something in Airio, it doesn't add the penalties for hitting cones. On a previous layout I had running on AU1 with Airio, the times displayed under !top didn't have the penalties added. The Airio top 12 was different to the LFS top 12. I haven't run Lapper on a layout yet so I don't know about that.

Thanks Troy.

Hi,

If you press Page Down while on the server, the leaderboard will scroll down to 32nd position. Hopefully you can make it into the top 32!

Glad you enjoyed the challenge!

Cheers

Edit: Anyone know if there's a way to find out more than top 32 positions? Say top 50?

Quote from BriZz :

Hi, I just made a layout and I'm wondering if is possible to change the countdown....

I've been trying to find out how to do this too.

/rstmin= doesn't seem to be changing it for me, anyone know how?

This is the only post I can find about it.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Ok, since people are enjoying the challenge, I'm getting ideas to run a weekly thing and have been putting them on paper to see how it'll run.

If it goes smoothly, it could start this Friday, if not, it'll be next week.

So, I'll leave that layout running until I get it started. When it does get going, I will put the final top 32 here for future reference.

Have fun and watch this space!


I've attached one thing I did today while thinking of how an event would run. It's me testing the FE Club challenge as I was making it. I'll post some other ideas tomorrow.

Quote from logitekg25 :

my fastest time (without hitting anything) is 1:01 and thats in the lx4...how did somebody get 45??

Just try to be quick and smooth, keep it at low revs and you will get quicker.

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :

Hey, very entertaining server here

You were having fun alright. At one stage you had half the top ten! Glad you enjoyed it, thanks.


Ok, I have attached the current top 32 spots for this cone challenge.
UPDATE: CoRe P.Diaz just went to 4th. Best: 46.08 Total: 1:35.10

It's official!!.... the aliens have landed!

Thanks to all who have made a few runs and to the others who've had a lot more runs. Glad to see you all enjoy the challenge. I have a few more challenges to come so keep an eye out.

Quote from troy :

We just got some kid driving backwards on the server and no way to kick him, could any admin give us a hand?

I love the layout by the way, tough to master

edit: Problem solved itself, he got bored and left

Thanks Troy, glad you liked it. It's a tough challenge alright.

Sorry about that little problem, I was away from the PC. I'll be on now to monitor things.

Quote from logitekg25 :

it was quite fun! it was hard to master, like troy said, but by the time i was done, i had memorised it pretty much you should make one out of a longer track, but not too much longer (and if you do, keep it on the same thread so i definately get to use it

I have more ready to go but I think this one still has a bit of life left in it, people aren't bored of it yet and I'm sure some people still want to get faster times. And I will be putting the other layouts in this thread too.

Cone Challange: Complete 2 laps in the fastest time possible. Each cone hit adds 2 seconds to your final time. Gates are 4 meters wide and random distances apart. Most gates are on the racing line, but there are a few stray gates that will catch you out over and over again, but this is a challenge, it wasn't made to be easy!

The track is limited to 4 cars because it being 2 laps it can get messy with a lot of cars on track. Drivers on the start line (behind the "Keep Left" signs in the screenshot) are the ones who should make sure they don't drive into someone starting their second lap. Then when you finish your run please spectate to give other drivers a run. (If anyone knows how to increase the start countdown could you tell me please because I can't find anything in the "Commands" text document or anywhere else, thanks.)

So, if you are up for a challenge, drop in to the "Cone Challenge" server and see if you have the speed and precision to get top spot!

Good Luck and Have Fun!

Cone Challenge #1

South City Sprint Cone Challenge

25 gates




Leaderboard: 02/08/09


This has been running as a sort of test for the past couple of days, I have other tracks set up and ready to go so use this as a practice.

Anyway, drop by and see how you get on. Remember it's a challenge, it wasn't made to be easy!

I have added the setups I used, feel free to adjust them to your liking, and the layout for anyone who wants to play offline.

Enjoy!

Also, how long have you had this pc? You could try clearing out all the junk temp files with this: CleanUp 4! Choose this "Primary download site (setup program): CleanUp40.exe" <== Direct download. Read before downloading!

Try this: http://www.tune-up.com/products/tuneup-utilities/

It's only a trial but it might help.

Hi Alex,

Sure, layout added to first post.

Thanks for your comment, now lets see if you actually like driving on it...

Thanks TVE.

I will attach the set I use to the first post, as some drift sets are not easy to control here. Also, you need a good hand brake on this layout.

Anyway, thanks for your comments, lets see your name on the board.

A short gymkhana style layout I made and have running on my server: U4IK ST8's Server. I've tried to make it easier/less confusing for first timers by using arrow signs and banners, but once you run it once or twice you'll remember it, it's not too confusing.

Couple of screenshots:



Here's a vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVlDg3Vptkw

The whole course has route checkers, so there's no chance to cheat/cut corners. I'm sure I covered all possibilities.

So drop by and see how you can do!

Here's some sets that might be usefull: http://www.setupgrid.net/1/setup/misc/get/XRT@DRI

Anyway, see how you get on, I'll be there to make sure you don't get top spot.

EDIT: Attached layout and setup

Quote from RS1T :

...they have no excuse for charging so much for an unfinished product

LOL

You agreed to pay, so why blame them?

Quote from RS1T :

I am annoyed. I spend 24 pounds on LFS (which is a good game) but it is NOT worth the money of an other game like GRID etc. The graphics are so much better, it is so much more detailed and there are hundreds of licenced cars. Where does all our money go? Thousands of people have S2 licences, and that means you have hundreds of thousands of pounds to spend on licensing. I want to see more cars and more improvements, less bad news and less delays

I was just about to make a skin and a new interior for the VWS, but when i read this i cant be arsed anymore

great job guys

Wow...

You try making a game comparable to GRID with a 3 man team and a fraction of the budget.

Nice idea but... those barriers are not DD friendly, lol. You want to be able to stick people to concrete.

I think this would be the best place for a DD! Nice hard walls, except the two ends. Also some small parts with grass to add more fun, hehe. Might be a bit big but a big space = more speed = high speed collisions! I just threw up a few objects so you'd get the idea.

Just a suggestion.

Hey TouringBubble,

Just got your layouts tonight and had a few runs on both in the XRT. I had about 15mins on each 1 and really enjoyed them. Well done, they are great!

Very well made and route checkers all the way, which is a must on these type layouts.

My times:

Layout 1: 42.96 (attachment ...XRT_FINISHED_4.spr)

Layout 2: 51.35 (attachment ...XRT_FINISHED_7.spr )

Faster is possible.


Looking forward to your next creations!

And btw, these tracks are nothing like the LX Month/LX training layouts, plus there's alot more cones on these ones and different colors too.

Quote from niels1 :

...Mardox getting kicked in the last 2 laps...

Just glanced at the replay, he was just about to finish, he was just past the final turn on his 29th lap.

EDIT: Yeah, he was going onto his final lap, duh...

More sillyness. Wtf was the point in saying that? Come on, serioulsy. Why would anyone consider that as a arguement?

EDIT: Actually, I think he's addressing the fighter jets sitting on runways, doing nothing to defend their country.
