No offence, but... CV for a job someone will be doing for free..? I think you're overdoing this.
Damn, dude! That was so ...thoughtful!
Exactly what I meant.
..See? We are not alone you nabs!
Just wanted to show you what I saw when I read your post. Many may not agree with me, but this is how I see it in my head (going to show you my 1st thoughts of when I read everything, so yeah, it's going to be a bit rude):
Just wanted to share what I feel like when I'm reading such posts. Even though I am normally trying to write serious replies, I must admit - I am having a really fun time reading most of the moaning posts (because, everyone knows that some of them are so ridiculous, that they even cross the border of ridiculously-funny). So, why not share what's happening in my crazy head anyway? - And yes, some of them may not make as much sense to you as they do to me, but whatever.
Yes, I know this post wasn't all hardcore moaning, but I don't really see a big difference, if you're going to moan anyway.
And yes, I know that there's a big child inside my head.
They have already stated that progress will continue unless some of the devs dies. So, if you kill them(or, one of them) - you've got the whole angry LFS community after you, because you've stopped LFS's progress forever.
And trust me, it ain't gonna be easy, they are going to moan at your head 24/7. Just ask a dev.

WS ⢠Derbigum
So how do you go about these things. Ok, let's start like this: Hi.
First of all, name of the server: WS • Derbigum
What's the main idea behind this derby server? Well, to put it simple - it's like a CTF(Capture The Flag) game.
Let me explain further:
The idea, if there is enough interest, is to rewrite the whole InSim application. Use a better base, optimize it, and add a few new things to make it more interesting and fair.

What's the main idea behind this derby server? Well, to put it simple - it's like a CTF(Capture The Flag) game.
Let me explain further:
There are 2 teams in the game - RED and BLUE. Your goal, as a participant in one of those teams, is to make sure your team delivers 10 packages to the marked spot.
As a scout, your job is to take a package from the Post Office, and deliver it to the marked spot. This only works when you take the UF1.
As an interception, you must make everything possible to stop the other team from taking or delivering their packages, and as well make sure your team's scouts are safe.
The idea, if there is enough interest, is to rewrite the whole InSim application. Use a better base, optimize it, and add a few new things to make it more interesting and fair.
In C#, the syntax is something like this:
(Let's say in this example you want z to be 123, when x and y are equal. Also, when x is 123, make it be equal to y, and then make z=123. And vice versa - if y is 123, but not equal to x, then make it so.)
There, I did program a bit just to show you the very basics, which many websites already offer. You just have to google "C# basics" or something like that and find them.

if (x == y && x != 123) // if x equals y, but none of them equals 123
{
z = 123;
}
else if (x == 123 && x != y) // if x equals 123, and is different from y
{
x = y;
z = 123;
}
else if (y == 123 && x != y) // if y equals 123, and is different from x
{
y = x;
z = 123;
}
else // I got bored from writing conditions, so I'm gonna shoot the user with an error, because I did write a description, that explains how you should work with my program. Of course, in a real situation, we'd put an appropriate message, that would give the user the necessary information.
{
MessageBox.Show("None of the conditions were fulfilled");
}There, I did program a bit just to show you the very basics, which many websites already offer. You just have to google "C# basics" or something like that and find them.
By showing you, I will first need to program it. And a similar things to the thing you want are done in many of the open-source applications. You just have to find them. That's why I'm not really helping you - because on the next task, you will be here again, asking how to do it. And because, by finding this piece of code, you would actually need to browse and understand the code. That is an inevitable part of the programming process. And you need to get to it sooner or later.
And I told you to learn the very basics, because the code snip you provided is... Well, simply said - totally wrong. And even if it works - that's some terribly bad practice. When the time comes for you(or anybody else) to change that - you won't know what's in which conditional.
I would suggest thinking of a project, that you would have fun building, and using. Something small. Take around a week or 2 on it. While building it, use google for advices.
I can tell you what I did, if you are interested - a Q&A program. I had a text file, in which I had Question|Answer, and each new line is a new record. That was basically my primitive database. The program was reading a random row, extracting the question, and saving the answer to a global variable. I was then checking the answer, and if correct - giving a new question. On 3 failed attemps or so, iirc, I was giving the answer, and a button for a new question. Then something happened, and I couldn't find the program anymore. It was nearly 100% done, because it had some minor bugs. But even though I lost it - I had learned a lot from it, and was feeling comfortable with my programming.
You don't have to make the same thing though. Better find something that would be fun for you. But a project like that would definitely help you.
And again - just suggesting. I'm not going to "make" you do anything you don't feel like doing. So, if you don't want to do it, just don't.

You want me to program for you - not going to happen, sorry. Put some effort in it yourself. Programming isn't really an easy task. You can't learn it for a week.
You seriously need to learn the basics of the language. Then, you need to experiment with some of the already existing applications. And when you hit a problem, that's worth the help, I can guarantee that you will get that help here.
I, I, I, I, I... If you don't like it - why did you buy it? Add to that the fact that you bought the game, not the right to complain to everyone about how bad it is from your pov. And yet, if you need to vent so bad, there is a vent thread already.
"Food for thought.
:elefant:"
I am saying that, because I'd like to be subscribed to the Progress Report thread. If I wanted to be subscribed to a vent thread, I'd subscribe to the vent thread.
That's not really the place to ask. But anyway.
First of all, you would need a list, or an array, or any other type of variable(or.. simply said - holder), with similar functionality. I am not aware of all the possibilities, tbh.
Then, you simply iterate(loop(do a for/foreach)) through that holder, and in that loop you simply send a button. It will be a good thing to declare a variable before the loop, which you will increase, so that each button you send, does not overlap the previous one. Also, ClickIds do not have to be the same, or the button will be overwritten on the screen.
My favorite number was 12 2 days ago.
It was 12 1 day ago too.
So my favorite number was 12 - 2 days ago, and 1 day ago it was - 12 again. 12-21-12. OMG :O
But nothing is going to happen, because it went back to 8 again today.

Confirmed. 
Text colors are working flawlessly, and so are the buttons. No matter with long/normal or without any text.
Also, sorry for the late reply. If for whatever reason you still need the text of the (what used to be a) problematic button, there it is:

edge1234: You bought it - you bought it. You don't like this fact - you don't like this fact. It's your fault - it's your fault. So why do you need to share this with all of us? You got S2 content now, go explore that. And just to let you know - you do shout to release a patch.
Also @"Otherwise, you are just gunna keep seeing the same thing over and over here." - go and build your own simulator, instead.

I was just giving an example, but yes, you are right.
And what the hell have I done. This formula I made up is totally irrelevant, sorry.
Let me fix it..
So, if DistanceSincePit=50000=50km=bonus time, then this is how it should be(you can always tweak/change it the way you want):
Cash += 2500 + (DistanceSincePit / 50000 - 1) * 1000
(not sure if it can be simplified more)
And to illustrate another formula, I'll use Krammeh's example. To achieve this kind of effect, here's the formula:
1000 * (2 ^ (DistanceSincePit / 50000 - 1))

@sun: Why not just a simple formula? Cash += 2500 + ((DistanceSincePit / 500) / 100 - 1) * 1000
Which can be simplified to:
Cash += 2500 + (DistanceSincePit / 50 - 1) * 1000
Then, first bonus will be 2500; Second bonus will be 3500, 3rd = 4500, and so on. Tweak it any way you like. IMO, that's the best way to go for that task. And if you want the 6th bonus to make it start all over again, reset DistanceSincePit, if the bonus that you just gave has been >=7500.
if (C.DistanceSincePit / 500 >= 100)
{
C.DistanceSincePit = 0;
C.Cash += 12345;
//Send the bonus messages?
}I recommend this exact order. Why?
First - Reset the DistanceSincePit variable first, as a protection measure.
Second - If the var has been set successfully, this line will be reached. In case the var has failed to be set, an exception will be thrown, and the cash increase code won't be reached.
Last - If everything went well, the message sending code will be reached, and message(s) about successful bonus receival will be sent to the user(s).
I have a question: Why 500d? That converts it to a decimal, iirc? Is DistanceSincePit a decimal?
Are you learning anything from the code you are being given here?
Ok, the admin pass seems to be perfectly fine.
But I have 2 more reports:
1. The color codes I send to LFS, are being shown as text. I send ^1red, and I get a normal, green ^1red.
2 (better version of that explanation is available below). I might join povo's club about the button length. At some random points, my Queue thing (in case you are wondering, yes, Queue thing is how I like to call it :razz shoots out random errors when sending a button. At first I thought that was happening, because of my poorly-tested loop (which deletes buttons from a list after it hands them over to insim.net). But now, I suspect it's because of the length of the text on that button. There's this button of them all, that shows a typical car list (cruise insim style, because it's a cruise insim). And when I surrounded the Send code in a try expression(if it's an expression, if it's not I'm looking stupid, and I'm happy someone can have a laugh at my bs ;d) - that very same button was the only one that didn't show on the screen. (I'm going to need to rewrite that... All done, there it is - below!)
BETTER VERSION of 2: I am suspicious that buttons with long text sometimes don't get sent. I receive this when that happens:
Ok, after actually reading, and not just scanning through all of the values of the error, it looks like there's a problem with the color codes' encoding, not the length. Maybe, because something evil happened to the '^' char, which could have something to do with the admin passwords being all OK? But... I'm guessing it's something you would have found out before even reading this, and I might just be wrong as well, so, whatever.
PS: Sorry for the messy post.

Sorry, I haven't had time for any off-work programming lately. I'll let you know as soon as I do test them though.
Yeah, we should get that!
