Quote from Sticky-Micky :

are these not the same as the mass disconnects i have seen on cone1?

Hi

Mass disconnects seem to happen on all the full servers. From what i have seen once LFS gets almost all the 23 slots taken up it can get mass disconnects at any time if one player has serious lag.

The problem is that [CD] 1 is always full, so full i often cant get on my own server

I have put links to speed checkers on the site

During a ConeDodgers LFS: GTR League qualifiyer today we had 6 people disconnect after a "Sync Lost" and seperate occations single people lost their connection with a "MP Relpay Stack".

Can anyone please tell me what these are and if they can be fixed.

The server is from 500Servers and they assure me it is nothing to do with them and it is most probably either a user with a poor internet connection or a bug in the LFS Net code.

Thanks

OMG what a crap day
first race I messed everthing up
second it worked very got, found myself on pos. 6 and some in front had still to pit I think.....but than server prob.....
restart, crash in T1 and after over 50% disconnect and I dont come back to the master server AHHHRRRRGGGGGG

It was not a server problem, 6 out of 20 disconnected. Its was a user with a poor internet connection that caused the disconnect. Your final disconnect was just you so it may well that its your connection that was the problem.

I will be putting a connection tester on the home page shortly

Quote from ZORER :

Yes i watched the owrl race.it works ok.
But not on CD race.So it is something to do setting up the caster server right.

[CD] Server has no bandwidth issues at all.

Quote from tomylee :

It looks pretty easy. Didn't have the chance to test it yet.

This is the program http://www.triso.de/download/lfstv/lfstv_0_0_1_6.zip

To stream it somebody has just to start the program and start the streaming process. After u start LFS and connect to the server.
The guys who like to watch open thge program, look for the stream in the list and after starting it they open LFS and go to replay - multiplayer and open LFSTV.

Sounds easy, we have just to trye it if it's work

I would be only too pleased if the unknown "somebody" can set this up and give me the details once its running.

Quote from Aquilifer :

Hmmm. Sound like my app (VCom). No chance the server was PCT-motorsports? It is bit like lap logger, but does quite many other things too.

Any chance of getting hold of your app?

Any news on using Username in the PB.txt to stop the same person trying to fill the first 15 places when using !top?

I cannot find anyone who has do this change as someone though earlier

Quote from ChristijaNL :

Cant login to the member area with the pass u send. Dont have a server pass 4 tonight either

If some1 from group C reads this pls pm me the pass, thanks!

Please do not send a username or password to anyone whoever asks.

You should PM me direct

Quote from tomylee :

What about showing the races on LfSTV?

I am not sure how to do this, if its uses insim i am already using it. If there are some clear instructions on how to do it then i have no problem but at the moment i am a bit busy keeping up with all the questions.

Remember there is one me doing everything for the league other than those i have given server admin right to.

We have over 90 on the list and 7 on reserve so i hope you understand

I do agree though it would be great to be able to let others view that racing.

Quote from faster111 :

I have sgined up just wiating for a email.

I have sent you 3 emails so i would check your spam system. One contains the Password for the members area on the website which has the server password

If you goto http://www.conedodgers.co.uk/c ... /cd.pl?cgifunction=Search you will see you are on in the friday session which is at 19:30 UTC / GMT which is 20:30 in S****horpe, if thats where you live.

All my emails are sent out bulk, if everyone else gets them so should you. Yours are not bouncing so please check again. I am afraid that if you have problems getting simple emails or reading a website then this league may not be for you.

I have sent you a PM

Best of luck

If you goto the league site the clock on all the pages is UTC/GMT time and its that clock we use.

It changes so the UK is UTC/GMT on 29th Oct so for 6 months we are the lucky ones who dont have to calculate the time.

Last night 2 people were 2 hours early yet 2 arrived with 4 mins to go

At 17:00 UTC i start 30min Qualifying and at its finish we run 2 races one after the other using a Randum Grid.

As i am in tonights qualifyers its perfectly OK if you dont turn up and take the zero points or turn up an hour or two late when we have gone. (Joke)

See ya tonight at 20.30 BST for the first race

Quote from paublo999 :

Congratulations Birder

I could see the stress levels rising, but a good job well done.

Legends- Lucky Luke was head and shoulders above everybody else and will be a top contender for the overall title. I couldnt catch Legends Bambuse in the first race, but with Luke coming from the back of the grid, (just) managed to hold on.

If possible, I personally would like to be able to watch replay's of the other qualification races - even just to check out the competition.

This is obviously taking up alot of your time and I for one would like to say thanks.

Regards
Paublo (999)

Thanks for you kind words, not sure it was a job that well done.

I have put the results in the race results section and a quick (crap) report, the datebase has been updated plus the replays are already in the members download area.

I need a rest and a beer (or three)

Quote from ZORER :

How do i get the password for server 2?

I have PM'ed you

Quote from Sticky-Micky :

i entererd,i logged on, tried cone1
saw no "regulars" checked the time which was 9pm, remembering the qualifying was starting at 7.30 and was to take around an hour, i assumed it would be finished and that everybody was chilling out @ cone2

with the server not being set to private,i thought it was open to all and sundry after the qualify race, i must admit, being told to "go away" pissed me right off.

i also thought i had read that you could spectate, but if places were limited you would be asked to leave?

The event started at 19:30 UTC which is 20:30 BST and 21:30 CEST so everyone came at the worst moment. The big problem was that i just could not remember who was who out of the 90 plus and then to get one guy argue and come back on 5 times just pushed me over the limit.

At one point faster111 came on the server with his nickname changed to 183 while we were in a race to ask when was B qualifying. I asked him to leave but had to /kick him but he then changed his nickname to Road Jam only to come on again for me to have to do the same.

I only left the server as public as 50% of the racers have not replied to any of my emails so i had no idea if they had the password. From now if someone can't be bothered to answer emails or visit the site or this forum it will be hard luck, i have learned my lesson.

The password is now on so it should not happen again and i am truly sorry to anyone who was told to "go away" including yourself.

Maybe they were the lucky ones as one person was banned and i have no idea who he was, still its only a 12 hour ban.

Quote from Cawwa :

In race 2 it was a surprise to restart 3 times. My positions were 6, 2 and 10th the last time. I would have loved to start from that 2nd position

The reason for the second restart was that Ledgends|Bambuse was on pole again which is not that random.

I think everyone enjoyed it

The report and updates are on the site

Hi

I would like to say sorry to all those who were kicked or told to "Go Away" in todays qualifiying session.

I had put a not on this forum to say that the server was being left as public as some people had not answered emails, however this was a big mistake.

We had about 30 people join the server, some several times, one was banned

The server now has a password but i would ask that if it is not your day to qualify please keep away.

Quote from MonkOnHotTinRoof :

It seems like someone already done that (usernames) on LFSLapper. I hope I will get the source updates, so I can put them
in main branch...
Received quite a few other improvements from others, but I am again in that lazy state...

Using usernames would make a huge difference. At the moment i have switched lapper off on one servers as drivers were getting fed up with the message when recording to the PB.txt and if i switch off the message I get fed up taking out the dulicates due to ^ colour and other minor changes to drivers nicknames.

Last weekend Lapper recorded 650 racers details over 100 were nickname changes. - a total nightmare

Does anyone have a copy of this change - PLEASE......

Quote from ZORER :

He means does he have to use a skin with the number you gave him on?

And, i'm a bit late but can i still get in the qualifications or the signup date is dead?

If he had read the website and the emails and listened when i chatted to him, he would be well aware what he has to do. I am sorry to say that this is one driver who is the type of guy that if you gave him something for free he would want 2.

If you goto the website you can still register but start from the lower divisions. Please register and i will see what i can do

Quote from robgo :

I find the two qualifiing races to be a good idea. It's also ok, that the starting grid for the first race will be random, but the second race's starting grid should be the reverse of the first race's starting grid to make it fair.

Cant get LFS to do that without re-starting the server which means it would lose the details.

Sorry

Anyway you are fast enough from anywhere.......

Quote from faster111 :

do i have to have a skin with your number you give me

For someone that lives less than 40 miles from me you do make things difficult

1) Which part of NO dont you understand

2) Goto the website and read it from end to end - PLEASE

Is working, i had 7 this morning. I have sent you an email and you have joined the LFS: GTR League

Quote from VoiD :

That would be a huge disadvantage for us 6 fastest non-FZR-drivers. We´ll loose 1-2 seconds per lap.
Earning points against the fastest 14 FZR going ~1.40 will be much more harder as in a "normal" timedepended grid without mixing.

I think you are right Void, all i can do is run the qualifying races and use those to decide the division placings. At the end of the day there will be an overall Champion, Top FZR, Top XRR and Top FXO. Plus each division winner, i think thats enough champions for one league.

I will also keep trying to work out a points system that is handicapped, i have to do that as i will never win anything myself even in an FZR.

Now lets think, we could have "Champion for the oldest bald driver, in a red and black FZR, number 33 from the UK who was born in August", Now at last i have a chance of a trophy but even then i would come second no doubt.

This area will contain all out of date League threads
