Hi

I had a "C" license but now when I try to access the CD4 server it tells me I don't have one. So I went to your website and did a license check and my license is gone. Was I deleted for some reason?
Thanks

Maybe this is my fault, well sort of

The Target times to beat are:
CD1 AS3 1.44.00
CD3 AS1 0.52.40

On 15th i used 52.40 as the setting for licenses
On 27th i used 52.39 as the setting

No times recorded on CD1

Your times for CD3 are

52:40 in the XFR
52.41 in the UFR

Now how close is that.

Quote from lawdog :

No, I deserve a license because I just turned a 1:43.44. I knew my honesty would pay off in good lap time karma!

Next update is Friday but i have just added your name to the licence file on CD2, it just wont appear in the website list yet

Well done.

I think this would be a good time to disable insim in the demo version of LFS.

Sheesh!

Quote from lawdog :

I just thought I'd do the honorable thing here, and say that I should not be included in the next license update. I am getting better, and I was running a couple races turning laps in the high to mid 1:44's. On lap 5 of the attached MPR*, I was on pace for another high 1:44 when the FXR in front of me spun coming out of the chicane. He made contact with me in the right rear quarter panel, but instead of spinning me out, it instantly accellerated the car from around 110 mph to over 170 (which is disconcerting, to say the least, when one is in 4th gear). I straightened it out, grabbed sixth gear before the engine damage got any worse, and crossed the line in 1:42.70. But that was about two seconds faster than what the lap should have been, without the wonky collision result. The next lap would have been too fast, too, given the fact that I crossed the line at over 170 mph, so I parked the car.

I'd like to earn a CD2 license, but I'd like to earn it by being clean and getting those last few tenths off my laptime, not by exploiting a bug. So unless I turn a 1:44 or better (in which case I'll let you know), you shouldn't include me in the next license update, no matter what the stats say.

*If you do view this replay, please don't think me a crasher--on lap 1 I was trying to brake early for the hard left hander to let a guy who was three seconds faster than me by, but locked a wheel and pitched the car sideways.

I have just been into the file changed the time to 1:44.30 so it will no longer be valid in the next licence update.

However you deserve a license for being so truthful.

Quote from ajp71 :

CD1 can be a good server when there are admins around, unfortunately when the leave it currently descends to complete chaos CD3 however doesn't seem to attract these idiots and offers great racing

With CD1 you just have to pick a time when their are admins or respectable racers outweigh the noobs, which is usually early evening and when they go to bed you may as well leave because you're not going to get anything constructive done after that.

EDIT - thought I'd ask, how long does it take for the license to get updated? I set a lap bellow the CD3 requirement on CD3 a couple of weeks ago and nothing has come up on the license search

I am doing the license update today

Quote from El Presidente :

Not having a go at you guys at all, in fact thanks for running the CD servers.

By the way, we were 1 and 2 in the 2 races i had with you yesterday on CD2. (You won them both)

They were both good races, but i would make it clear you are to fast to race on CD1 and should only use CD2

Simply go onto CD1 and ask the faster drivers to move over, most will do.

I thank you all for your comments.

The problem is that as our servers can now take 47 players, we restrict the public servers to 20 or 22 in the race but this means the race is almost always full with others waiting to get on.

The idea to allow drivers to earn a license on CD1 and CD3 so they can race on CD2 and CD4 is a sound one, but the problem is that drivers stay on the public servers.

We had 14 in races on CD2 yesterday, and they were good clean races.

As to having admins on CD1 to police it, well to be fair i went on the servers and sorted it out twice yesterday with kicks and bans but within a day its just the same.

All CD Race team members can now kick people but as they are all licensed they normally goto CD2 as they have been asked to do.

Remember that the current system is just tempory, the new system is being worked on and hopefully come on line within a couple of weeks.

At that point the new automatic league starts and ANYONE who causes any type of problem or breaks the rules on the servers will not be allowed to race so cannot score points.

In the mean time i am sorry but there is not a lot i can do.

Quote from The Very End :

you don`t offer full grid, only 24 cars
(got ya!)

If i switch CD1 to 32 its full straight away and the racing is stupid, totally uncontrollable. You also get groups of mates taking control, voting off everyone they dont like.

You have no idea how many emails i get asking to be unbanned and LFS is great for single server control but a nightmare when you have multiple servers. If i give admin rights to others to help i just get more emails.

Come on folks give us a break.

Quote from obsolum :

This is old news, really. I haven't bothered connecting to any CD server for quite a while now. It was only when I joined other GTR servers that I realized how horrible the standard of racing on [CD] really is.

The new system should be online in a few days, it does things in a different way.

Drivers will have to earn points in full races and if your license does not have enough points you cant join. To control bad drivers or those with the wrong attitude we will simply make their license -1 points and they will never be able to join a race on our servers.

Quote from The Very End :

And of course there was no admins, so the crasher could do as they wanted.. So yes, I too think there is a problem on those servers.

Its not the servers fault or the fact there was no admins, its the fact that CD servers offer full grids and this attracts so many drivers who have little or no race craft.

I went on CD1 yesterday and kicked 4 and banned 3 but its a full time job and after all you can vote.

Come on, if you are fast enought fill up CD2 rather than having a go at us (again).

Quote from catch_me :

Hi, can someone help me. I've been trying to get onto CD1 for a couple of months now and I keep getting refused. I have License B and pb of 1:41.86. I have a feeling I got kick off for some reason. But I would really like to get back in the race. What to I have to do to join CD1. I don't mind grovelling to the host admin I just want to be able to join.
Steve.

I have unbanned you on CD1, but you will be watched, be very carful and do not argue

!kick now working, it must have been a space or something i could not see

Thanks for all your help

Quote from Shoe Maker :

Have you put the | at the end of the line ? both kick and ban commands work fine for me...

!kick@birder|/kick {*}|


p.s. hi

If you have

tab !kick@birder|/kick {*}
tab !ban@birder|/ban {*}

Do both of yours work?

Or do you have

tab !kick@birder|/kick {*}|
tab !ban@birder|/ban {*}

p.s.Hi

Quote from vane :

do you need to put a '|' after the bit of code above?

EDIT: Damn you beat me to it

but if its the last line in the automessage you dont need a | and also there will need to be a tab infront

Its not the last of my automessages and has a tab at the front

I will try it as the last line without the |

Quote from Gai-Luron :

List separated by ',' or file list &yourfile.txt


Bye

Dont seem to work either way for me

If i use

!kick@birder|/kick {*}

nothing happens, does this only work with ban?

Quote from Gai-Luron :

Hello,

Little modification to allow {*} in autoaction ( requested by VANE ).



Bye

PS: I put Lapper in Stand by because i go in Italy for hollidays. I return on September 3.

Great feature, can we use a list rather that @NAME

Also have a great Holiday.

Quote from Gai-Luron :

Hello,


Because now all privmessage are multiline message and the separator is ':'.

In old priv message for spb or other there is ':' character, replace it by {colon}.

Gai-Luron

Hi

All sorted, thanks, have sent you a PM

Gai-Luron:

I also notice that the split time (spb) display is now appears on multiple lines rather than a single line yet i have not changed anything

How do i get it back to a single line as most of me players dont like the multi line display as its difficult top read?

Thanks

Just upgraded to 5.1.2.34119, added the new !ver|/ver| ect.

One probelm, !stats now gives me stats for fastest drivers but not my own.

Is this correct?

Sorry but we are flooded out so very little time to read everything and players are complaining

Quote from ajp71 :

The As Cadet small GTRs is a lovely combo, some of the best racing I've ever had in LFS has been there in the last few days. As for the big GTRs, it's a nice combo with generally good standards, my only real niggle being people cutting the yellow line coming out the pits.

Unfortunately I've now given up on this server as it seems people blindly vote ban people, first time it happened was after I got taken out by someone, I explained that to the server owners and they very nicely unbanned me. Sadly this time it was somebody going round trying to ban people, who I shouldn't have tried to stand up to (or accidentally completed the vote by pressing 1 trying to save the replay ). I've had my first two bans in LFS both from CD1 and I ain't going back

Alex, please dont take that attitued against the server, its not the server or CD but the players on it.

Can i ask that you go back on and find out who is doing all the stupid banning as they are the ones that need sorting out.

Our new licensing system is again back on track after the big change in insim for patch X and this will sort out many of the problems.

We will be testing in a week or 2
