Well.. The original creator of this does say that he doesn't support this anymore because of a loss of source code, so I think it's OK to share this. It's reverse engineered source code, it compiles.. But, it still contains errors. Causing LFS Z28 to freak out a bit. (Going to lobby screen, spectate all.. No lights).
No idea why.
I thought this was working but apparently not, its over half a year ago I looked into this. But working or not, this is all very old to begin with. It's better to create something new from start then to try and fix something really old and buggy.
edit: oh yeah you need LfsInSimLib as well.. I arranged this from somewhere at the time too.. But really.. I don't see the point into making this to work. It costs more time then to create something new. This is ten years old.
Yes.. Lets wait and see when someone from Moldova comes here and start complaining, they get 2.5x times less salary there then in Brazil and makes it the poorest country of Europe. Damn Brazilian high rollers!
I only mentioned Iracing for the hosting part, nothing else. If you host in a controlled environment you can encrypt more easily , change encryption routines or start a case against someone who tries to do copyright infringement by creating a fake host.
In another way LFS does not survive, times have changed. Piracy is higher then ever, Pereulok is switched off, but for how long? Just a matter of time before it shows up again or someone else with the same structure. The new generation is too egoistic, you need different actions for this. Yes, walls..
No, it depends on what you say. I mostly reply to a part of a message but I am reading the whole message... The 12 quid for one track rant gets you minus points, I start replying in a less soft way.. That you work/have worked is good, that you have no control over what you've earned is not good. You shouldn't ask if they can buy game(s) for you, its better to have a discussion about why you don't see any money from your work and when this is going to change. Because it's not a normal situation, you sound like a child slave. Which, in some countries is still normal but where this happens there is no internet so I am a bit puzzled. It's not really a LFS problem though, more a personal problem.
Exactly, and this is because of the extremely high piracy rate. It's marketed everywhere on the internet.
You try to frame me into 'you stole candy from mum so you are bad also' but this doesn't work. We are talking about LFS here, no reason to try to sidetrack. I never pirated LFS because it simply didn't exist seven years ago. And this is the problem of the last years, it's easier to crack then to buy. So there are three options;
1) take away piracy
2) stop developing
3) stop own hosting capabilities
If 1 doesn't work and 3 is for some reason not desired.. Whats left? Yes, 2.
I would go for number 3 but it's not my call. I just sit and watch this drama.
Thats why you got the demo invitation. Loads of servers there, high chance someone likes you. If not you can start your own server.
Something which I did seven years ago. I wasn't even interested in the licensed environment. Until a friend got a license for Christmas and was very excited about it. I created a new account and bought a license too.
Right, so you break rules but you still need to be respected? Not my logic, neither should it be for anyone else in society especially not when you do not regret any of the rule breaking actions. On public racing servers you don't use speed hacks, ever, because it has nothing to do with racing. He knows this but doesn't care, so why should I care about his brain?
Same with this piracy thing, you know what the consequences are if you do the piracy move. It's utterly ridiculous to come to the official environment and demand it back. I never seen this happen on any game/sim platform in the world.
The only thing what I am interested about is why people decide to break the rules, sadly most of the time I read silly arguments like I played this sim for YEARS but 24 pounds is way too expensive! I used the comparison before, going to do it again, go to a hooker and ask for 24 pounds of pleasure and the response will be defined in minutes, not years.
The problem is here, LFS maybe never receives an update anymore because of piracy. If a pirated environment gets bigger then the official environment it's dead. I realized this so this is the reason why my servers are offline. It has no point anymore to invest time in LFS because the future is dead. No new tracks, physics or cars can change this. Only a drastic change in multiplayer policy would help, something which kills piracy. Like I-racing is doing.
Few months back this kid wanted to have a free license voucher... That is exactly why I am against this free giveaway thing, the wrong people try to get this.
if you are the best example of this, how great must it have been.
Your parents know you are a bad kid which cannot have responsibilities about money yet. Hurray! Some good parents still exist. What you do to get what you want in normal life? Stealing? I suppose so. Get caught by the cops, the rest of your life ruined.. Awesome future in front of you.
Seriously though, if you cannot have you are own money which you worked for, you have serious issues... You can try to reflect it back here with all kinds of "arguments" like 'you guys are poor also' but it's not really going to help, sorry. It's kids talk. Try to grow up, talk with your parents and try to do it in a smarter way then you do here and you might succeed.
People need to start to realize progress doesn't happen when there is no official environment anymore, you cannot make *any* demands when you are illegal. But people don't want to realize this because very egoistic nowadays, only thinking about themselves. In a few days it's Christmas but people have no clue what this is all about anymore also.. Only thing I see is demands for material stuff, poor people!
