If you make the output index page in plain old HTML, everyone should be able to read it right? Just putting the race outputs in a dir doesn't work on my web hotel (I get a 403 failure). Don't know why actually... Security reasons?

403 Forbidden
The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it. Authorization will not help and the request SHOULD NOT be repeated. If the request method was not HEAD and the server wishes to make public why the request has not been fulfilled, it SHOULD describe the reason for the refusal in the entity. If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 404 (Not Found) can be used instead.


Do you have permits for other people to read the directory?

HTML is little bad because it is both data and presentation, while XML is only data. If I make it HTML I would also need to decide how it should look (w/o css). (e.g should i use table, list or what to show the links)

Yes.
The best lap output files are like sb_<track>.xml (e.g. sb_AS2.xml for Aston club). The number of tracks is quite limited (around 25 plus the reversed versions), so the index page shouldn't be so hard to make.

The race output is harder, because the number of races (and race outputs) can be almost infinite (limited basicly only by the file system). You could make a link to the directory whey they are located and user can click the file he/she wants to see.

I could make it that an index page (e.g list of files in XML) for the race outputs is updated. In the matching XSL file user could then define how the index page looks like. I just don't know how well you can import that to your homepgae if you have some monster css, shtml thing.

Lol. No.

Quote from mrodgers :

Habaneros aren't anywhere near the hottest peppers out there.

For one, check out India's "bhut jolokia" or "ghost chili."

Could be, not an expert in peppers. But does it really care if you shoot yourself in the head with a pistol or a cruise missile? Even the second strongest was stronger than me

I still have 3 of those mini atomic bombs left. I have no idea what to do with them...I really don't have guts left to try eat them...one experience was enough.

Maybe I could give them to the annoying neighbour...but then they would sue me for a manslaughter

Quote from BMWMaster81 :

Am i able to let Vcom upload this results to my Homepage ? That would be veeerrrrryyy nice.

If it is possible to reach the homepage directory with a link (directory path, not a DNS name) from the server. Then you can set the output directory in the setup file. For example: output_directory=~/public_html/lfs/results;

Note that in the above example the public_html need not to be a true directory in your home directory and it can be a link into a directory in a different server. (e.g See 'map network drive' in Windows explorer)

EDIT: If not, there are programs which can send files automaticly e.g via ftp.

Versions up to 0.461 work in LFS version up to W (before the insim update). Versions 0.470 and newer work only in LFS X and newer.

EDIT: where on earth people manage to get that old versions. Even I would need to recompile it.

Admin password set in the setup.dat
( admin_password=something here; )

Are you sure you have the correct version? You should get 0.473

Have you set the admin password properly?

2 million....shouldn't you need some kind of a permit from police to carry such a lethal weapon?

I googled some peppers and it seems habaneros are the hottest from all the peppers (200,000-550,000). The sauces can be hotter.

http://www.mojavefarm.com/pepper_scale.htm

I didn't know I should drink milk instead of water. Of course I tryed water, but it really didn't help. I just ran around the house cursing and occasionally drinking water directly from the tap (:tilt.

I usually like spicy food, but this didn't taste spicy or fun to eat. It was just pure pain. It was really of the scale and nothing what I have eaten in any restaurant (BBQ, eastern, etc). I have eaten jalopeno before which was ok. This must have been LOT hotter.

I don't know if the pepper was exceptionally hot or is it just me not being used to it.

I was fooled about 30mins ago to taste a small piece of Habanero pepper. Oh my god, my mouth and tongue is burning now. Hot onion or garlic is nothing compared to it. I wasn't able feel my mouth for several minutes. It was like a fire burning in my mouth.

Where on earth can you use it properly? Some ancient torturing method?

Have you been fooled to similar kind of stupid tests?

diy.

It just seems to be Ky Nat with some custom turns to the oval section. Nothing special

I had the exact same monitor. After a while (some months) it started to give this low buzzing sound. There was no problems with the picture so I didn't take any action. Besides the sound was so low it didn't bother me. It has worked flawlesly after that for years, but I gave it away this summer for a new TFT. My father has it now and it's working fine.

Quote from Bladerunner :

Niko...just comment out ('#') the bits in the .cfg file that concern multiplayer!

The setup file and // - do not comment all stuff out, use the mode to select which is on and which is not.

@Niko
Niko you are trying to run things which are not ment to be run as a client. Those split time etc logger things work only as a server (dedi or non dedi). Well they work, but the printings does not (it tryes to send some messages to everybody but it cannot do that because client does not know IP addresses for other players). That's why the errors (for every line it tryes to send). With some tweaking I could make them work also in client. Radio is for client, stage rally for client and server. All others for server. Offline you are basicly a server so all work.

If you only want to use the radio, start it with "vcom 64" or set the mode to 64 (mode=64; ) in the setup.

Change songs? Sure you can but not to choose some particular song. You can put the "/o vcom radio next" to the F keys or if all your F keys are reserved for spamming, you can use global hotkeys too (a way which makes every player work - not just Winamp).

For example I do nicely with just On, Off, Next and volume+/- set in the F keys.

I know the readme is bit long and not very well structured. But is it really hard to understand or is it that nobody wants read it? This is just a humble question...maybe i should rewite the whole thing

such a small thing i thought i'd post it here...i haven't set a pb for rb4@as2 but if i hover over the spot i can see i've done 17 laps there but there's no laptime displayed.

Maybe you have done 17 laps there in the past, but you cleared the pb time (by mistake or when physics change made them invalid?)

Well, VCom has had option to disable it's printings for a long time (i.e. each guest can disable VCom messages for himself/herself).

Just do as I do... stay far from servers which spam useless nonsense(and often in cat size letters middle of the screen), which you cannot even disable .

Quote from X-Ter :

Three more suggestions...

1) Option not to reset points when a driver disconnects.
2) Option to only count points when there are 5+ drivers on server.

Yeah. Well those and the ranking system requires bit more coding and changes, because they are tied together and I would like to make as flexible as possible. Although those are in the todo list...and even quite high.

Quote from X-Ter :

3) A command to select which track in the rotation you want.*

* When you as admin type !rotate you go to the next track in the loop. But say you'd like to reach a track earlier in the loop. To reach that you'd have to write !rotate a lot of times, if the loop of tracks is long. Better to be able to type !rotate ## where the ## is the unique number for that track in the loop.

Have you tried that? If not, try and be amazed

(!rotate changes the next track on the user defined way (e.g random). !rotate <number>, select the track no matter what there is in the setup (even if the rotator is off) )


There is 0.473 now, but I haven't had time to test it very much. Wanna have a test?

Quote from The General Lee :

All 3 were made by me...Just as a test to see if I could do it.

Heh, that Fawlty Towers gif (Basil) is great. It was a great series

If you cannot see it, because of the weather or other reasons, you could try Stellarium (Win, Linux, Mac). It's shows planets, stars, nebulas, milky way etc in 3D as you would see them in sky. It even shows meteor showers. Nice program if you want to find targets for your telescope.

Good point. Thanks. Atleast you can make educated guesses from some of the macro names what they mean. Still some of them remain bit mysterious, but luckily I have never seen them.

Yes I code in C and C++.

Yeah, well that was kind of generic problem which has been bugging me long time. It's not just the programs I code, but other progs too. Not until I got that code from my app, I decided to post this question.

If I had that kind of list, it would be much easier to notice the buggy places. Usually you have kind a good idea where the error place is. In this case it would have saved me trouble googling what the heck code is that. Until I found out what it means, it was easy/fast to spot where it was. I would use debugger only for bigger problems.

I find it quite odd that there is no such a list in the web.

EDIT: Thanks anyway for your effort

Does anybody know a good article/list about the Windows (XP) exception codes? You know when Windows program crashes it gives that "blaah blaah.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close" and clicking more info it gives the exception code like 0xc0000090 (that one might be for invalid floating point op).

I'm not quite sure if this is correct place, but at least people with coding information hang out here more than off topic.

I think this is a dangerous thread. This engourages people to break speed limits (and so act against the law). Maybe admins should close this asap.

...and a separate server for Britney Spears Fans

Nobody would join that one.

How time flyes. 12 years ago me and my pal made together the final work in arts class by rendering an animation. It was with 3DS4 and 640x400x256. Cannot remember exactly how long it was, but around 1 minute probably. It had an ancient Greek temple and the camera flew around the temple, the doors opened when the camera went inside and flew to the altar.

It was rendered using 486sx33 with 24MB mem. It had problems keeping the whole scenery in memory so we had to remove parts from the temple which were never visible (like other part of the roof). It was left rendering overnight. In the end it was iirc well over 20MB and we had to get a whole pile of discs to get it to school. (the format was FLC).
