Hi All

I have just updated the ConeDodgers Server licence files

CD1 - AS3 Big GTR's - Public
CD2 - AS3 Big GTR's - License needed
CD3 - AS1 Small GTR's - Public
CD4 - Select car and track ( normally AS1 small GTR's) - Licence Needed

Target times:
CD1 AS3 1.44.00
CD3 AS1 0.52.40

A License (All Servers) = 308
B License (Big GTR's) = 718
C License (Small GTR's) = 592
R License (License no longer valid) = 981
Vistors below old target times = 4684

Please note that due to a change in target times 981 licencse driver have had their license removed and should go to either CD1 or CD3 to hit the new target times.

During busy times could all drivers with a license use CD2 and CD4

The license files are updated each weekend and you can check you own licence by entering your username in the license checker on our website homepage

Yes, you can change your username in the main screen of LFS, Upper to Lower all or some letter without any problem. In some release of LFS, you do an unlock and i do this mistake. I upperize my first letter tu upshift.

I look in my prog where to lowerize all letters of username and how to make a fusion of multiple PB with differents usernames ( upper of lower letter for the same username ). Wait a while.

@Punchy: Monkster release a new version of webstat, do you get-it? I put the link in the main page.

Gai-Luron

Thanks again, you are a star (opp.s)

Quote from Gai-Luron :

Exact,

But the PB.txt has not been changed or modified since it was started when Lapper 4 came out just after patch X and the user cannot change his username.

I started with empty PB.txt as the times were no longer any use due the the handicap on the FZR and XRR

Been running 5.0 and 5.01 for a few days and no major problems but today we have had several people say they have 2 PB,s in the list when they do !top

Here is one

It looks like its something to do with case of usernames between versions

Quote from SpikeyMarcoD :

I know (i get reports when beating time and looked via LFSworld) and nowhere near the times I want to drive . But when I am ingame !stats give me nothing???

On CD3 that works fine. Somehow the !stats does not work for me. Is that a problem for more ppl?

You get spb reports which are session based but it does not record anything until you beat the target time

Quote from gwendoline :

!status

What other little jems are you hiding?

Quote from gwendoline :

Your purpose is good but can works only in demo mode not on S2 mode because the right order is "/kick {Username}"...there no fine solution to kick S2 licenced using "Unnamed" to coming on server

Again, you are correct so dont type "unnamed" on CD servers or you will vanish

Quote from gwendoline :

Thanks for all your help over the last few day and your trip onto CD1

I have made all my changes in my cfg's but when you was on CD1 you asked why i did not kick unnamed drivers.

The main reason is that your auto action can kick the wrong person

you have

AutoAction = unnamed|/msg No name = No game:/kick {Username}|

This works but if someone says "why cant you use unnamed on this server" he would be kicked.

I think its better to use

ScheduledAction =
0 0 * * * * : 0 5 * * * * : 0 10 * * * * : 0 15 * * * * : 0 20 * * * * : 0 25 * * * * : 0 30 * * * * : 0 35 * * * * : 0 40 * * * * : 0 45 * * * * : 0 50 * * * * : 0 55 * * * * |/kick unnamed

AutoAction = unnamed|/msg unnamed players will be auto kicked|

That way unnamed is kicked every 5 minutes and anyone who joins as unnamed would be warned as will a person asking a question

Great work though.

Quote from SpikeyMarcoD :

My times dont seem to get registered on CD1 and fine on CD3 and CD4? They are running same software? !stats does not give anything for me. You can see on LFSworld I frequently race it.

It only records a time when you are faster than the target time which is set at 1:44.40. If we recorded them all there would be over 7000 by now

You are currently in the 1:45's

Sorry but this post is getting rather big and i am short on time to read it all

I have upgraded 2 of the CD servers to X10 as its compatable

Scawen says (first post):

Here is a new compatible Patch : X10
Sorry about the last minute update just before the autocross competition, but we needed to add two features.


I have several people telling me they cannot see these severs in the master list as they have not upgraded to X10

Please can we have an answer

Is it compatable with X - Yes or No

Thanks

Quote from Gai-Luron :

Hello,

have you restart Lapper before split line?


Gai-Luron

No, it was running normally

I am finding several people say the splits are wrong.

Can you please tell me what each line would contain, i think i have an idea on most

1) Username
2) Nickname
3) Position
4) Date
5) Time
6) Car code
7) Lap time
8) Track code
9) SP1
10) SP2
11) SP3
12) ?
13) ?
14) ?
15) ?

Thanks

Hi

Here is a record from CD2 PB file

Birder

4:42 PM
XRR
1.42.10
AS3
0.44.99
0.00.00
0.00.00
0.00.10
0.00.00
0.00.00
0.57.11

Set to Session (Shift+i) when i do !spb i am shown SP1 0.00.10 SPL 0.57.11

I wish i could do a 00.10 first split on AS3 but i think this is wrong

Any ideas?

Hi

Since i have updated to X10 i can no longer get any gears, all i get is a - and n

I have tried uninstalling profiler and LFS but cannot seen to find a problem

Autogrears works and the gears works in that setting, if i change back to Sequ. it works for about a second

It woks in onther games and in profiler

Any ideas?

Quote from gwendoline :

Each cfg need a tests in host to correct errors. each test need a lot of time

If you send me the race version i can test it for you.

Should !laps username work? as it always lists 0 laps

Hi

In the cfg file you have (!help section)

AutoMsgPrivate=

^3!ver Average speed {colon} {AvgSpeed}:

Is this right?

Quote from Gai-Luron :

Hello,

For the PB file, the new Lapper upgrade your PB file format to new one. Make a save of PB file before. It's more safe


Gai-Luron

Thats great, i just checked my PB.txt which has been live since Patch X and it has over 5000 driver records, (We are only recording faster than 1:44.40 AS3 GTR's)

Is there a limit on the number of records in a PB.txt file.

Great work by the way

Quote from gwendoline :

Will it use the same PB.txt files?

Thanks

Quote from gwendoline :

Yes you can display only messages you want.
During tests session i'll use all messages and all functions enables to watch hidden bugs before release.
Sorry Birder u do wait saturday evening like others, we will not give version not verified and with bugs inside.

But Saturday is so far away, cant wait

Regards, great news

Quote from gwendoline :

LFS Lapper 5.0

Been and had a test, looks good but i do hope you can switch the messages so they are only shown to the driver rather than everyone, as on a 32 car server there will be far to much text.

Any chance of a copy to try on a busy 47 slot ConeDodgers Server, please

Regards and well done

Quote from AeoIus :

How often is the license file updated?

I try to do it each Friday, but its manual

This is a Tempory system to try to sort out the mayhem that came from patch X, i think its worked but it far from perfect.

However our proper system will use full race times, not single lap times.

This system will also give points towards the LFS GTR League dependant on the number in the race and the race time.

There will also be higher points on the pro-servers. I think we are just a few weeks away.

Quote from MikeB :

THERE IT IS AGAIN
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin's_law

Gratulations Widdowmaker. It took some time for Godwin to appear again

I agree and thanks for pointing it out.

Quote from Widdowmaker :

Your recall of the events is wrong.

You might as well ban me mate - cos I aint going back on your server - and I hope that is greated with a smile.

I have never been so insulted.

I may have driven for the length of the straight seeing the blue flag - but you were no were near to passing me - you lost it - I clearly saw it in my mirrors.

There was nothing for me to apologise for. Once you brought it to my attention - you gave me no chance to discuss the issue - as you kicked me - after you asked if I was taking the P i ss...

You were out of order.

By the way - You need to loose the totallitarian Neo Nazi attitude..... The jack boots and the Sparks like tash do not suit you.....

Blame is so easy to attirbute when you have a Singlular thought process..... When are you invading Poland by the way?

From that answer I think most people can get the drift why you were kicked and i am glad thats an end to the matter.

Quote from Widdowmaker :

{CD)Birder..... you are not welcoming to your server. I am an experienced racer, who nows the flag rules....

I will not frequent your servers again..... as you obvoisly have no idea of how to control yourself - with lapped cars, or your own self.

I am seriopsly dissapointed in your attitude and ability. What did you expect me to do? I was watchning my mirrors - knew exactly where you were - but you chose to almost drive straight through me - you really should have lifted and moved up my inside where I would have let you past.

I do hope you dont treat others with the same distane.

Im very very disspaointed You give your server and your team a very bad name....

You was simply asked if you understood what a blue flag was for, after you forced me off track when you were under the blue flag.

To not obey the blue flag on our CD2 licensed server is a serious rule break. If you are experienced as you say you are then why did you see the need to not obey the rules. Drivers such as you who break the rules are not welcome.

Just to recap.

From the gravel trap, after you had forced me off I sent a message "Please obey the blue flag or leave"
(I see nothing wrong with that, i do it to all drivers that i see break the blue flag rule)
You did not answer, i waited and you still said nothing
(Your mistake, a simple Sorry or Ok would do)
I asked "Do you understand?"
(I see nothing wrong with that)
You then started to blame me for you not obeying server rules
(Another mistake as it was your fault in breaking the rules)
So I kicked you from the server
(I see nothing wrong with that, i do it to everyone who does not obey the rules)

Notice you were not banned, just kicked, a kick is a warning.
