This was just an example how i'm debugging my code.
I've rewriting alot of old code lately. Changing the file/folder structure to make saving times less laggy. I haven't changed multiple lines in WriteToFile(), because it was working fine with the old and new filestructure during developing.
But since many people were driving on our server, many new WR's and PB were set. But at some point, it didn't save the times to the new filestructure i've created.
During testing i've reproduced the errors somehow. Restarted Lapper and did the same thing, but now it was working fine. So i was really confused.
After some more testing the same errors occured, but not at the same point from earlier testing.
So i decided to rewrite the the code that rewrites existing lines and creates new lines to the target file.
I'm testing that piece of code now as we speak with multiple people.
The results are looking good so far.

this post is really unnecessary(You can delete this post if needed), but want to show an example how i debug my code.
Last week some random errors occur on my timeattack script, when it tries to save the local saved stagetimes to the textfiles. The Timeattack server is down due to this bug. Testing during development went fine BTW.
Looking into the ERR log file it tells me this, and sometimes other errors related to this.
These error came on very random moments and i couldn't pinpoint the problem. So that means i have to debug my code.
Let me show you my example of debugging. Warning, its a large piece of code
Do not copy the code, it simply doesnt work!!
As you can see i've created alot of debug messages, even on lines that do not need a debug message.

i'm curious what you changed.
Can you show us. will be helpfull to other LFSLapper users.

Check all the lines in your script that contains cmdLFS();
I guess the error occurs within the OnConnect event
Why i say that?
Also check WHEN the crash is happening. This could lead to the faulty line in your script that cause the crash
I've never seen this error or that email error before.

at LFSLapper.LFSClient.cmdlfs(unionVal val, ArrayList args) = cmdLFS() function
at LFSLapper.LFSClient.managePacket(NCN newConnection) = Event OnConnect

Reason : extra information
Those variables do not exist below 7.0.9.0 and thats why Lapper spit out errors.
Did you change anything in LFSLapper.LPR recently?

Line #14 and #15 in myInc.lpr must be the next variables
$RestAPIClientID = "";
$RestAPIClientSecret = "";
@RealistAdam You are using the incorrect version of LFSLapper.
must be version 7.0.9.0 or higher.

oke guys,
My reaction was more of a joke.
And yes i know that these kind of questions/persons exists.
You can tell on how the question is being ask, how much the person has done on their side.
But still i'm trying to be helpfull, but there is a limit.
Anyway lets not go off-topic. You guys made your point.
Thank you.

Can you ask less odd questions, thanks.

Did you do any debugging at all?
Do some proper tests please.
Create some "debug" messages to see where and what the problem is.

show me the code.
its a LFS command, so it should work.

there are a few post on the LFSLapper developer forum (Search) with a few example about trackuserdistance() and GetAngle(). The rest is up to you to test and write example codes to understand the code and merge/implement it in your own script.
There is nothing that need to be updated.
You do not need to post each and every error on the forum. Its a common practise to read the error and debug your code, before panicing and spamming the forum with your own created errors

I've added that warning, just to notify the user why joinrequest() doesnt work.
But you can prevent it by adding a check, if the player is on track or not.

You cannot respawn spectated players.
The player MUST be on track to execute the joinrequest() function.
LFSLapper literally tells you this as you can see.

@RealistAdam: Please tell us what causes LFSLapper to crash, so we can fix it in the next versions of LFSLapper.
My quick investigation to the crash:
LFSLapper seems to crash when the playername doesn't exist, and is being used in the privmsg() function.
This need to be fixed in the next version of LFSLapper.
I've added a extra check to the command if the playernames are entered correctly.
Be aware that the usernames are capital sensitive.
For example: Bass-Driver is correct and bass-driver isn't.

do you see all the privmsg() messages in the chatlog?
What do you mean, you do not have permission to share this?
Is this your code or is someone else coding it?
So many questions are going on in my mind right now.

NOTE: is compatible with older scripts.
0 = No Sound

Should something like this, the code has not been tested.

"system on the TC server" is not a good example.

try \/
Because forward slash '/' is also used by discord as a command. like /n for example.
Do not think this is a LFSLapper issue.

You asked this already:
https://www.lfs.net/forum/thre ... QL-Connection-New-Version
You can store up to 2TB of data with SQLite. Implementing MySQL will be more complicated for users to use LFSLapper.
I do not see any benefits to implementing mysql into LFSLapper.
Beside that, i have no experience with databases, so thats a nogo for me. And i'm not want to do a another big project for LFSLapper. The mod thing was already something above my level as a non-programmer.
The code of LFSLapper is opensource. So you take a look at the code and see if you can implement it in a way so its easy to use for other LFSLapper users.
