Quote from colcob :

It could easily be implemented as an offline only car

I like this idea! Leave the demo cars as they are now, but add one with slicks for offline mode only...

aaargh rapidshare...:smash:
stupid site for those with shared IP...
can't wait till i get my hands on the vid....

backspace doesent work when typing messages ingame after pressing a name of a player so his name appears before the actual message...
if i just press T then backspace works...

Quote from Ardent :

I honestly see no difference if you sit on your arse and watch, or if you sit on your arse and continue driving out of competion.

*cough practice *cough

:iagree:
in the Czech League, this is also forbidden and if someone does it he get's DNF.

I had similar thought... http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=1454

Quote from GTR Racer :

no, no and, NO!!illepall

yes, yes and, YES!!! :chair:

Is there a possibility to do this? I have not found it...
I think it would be good to have this, since sometimes the drivers start voting and it would be good to cancel it...
I know it's possible to /vote no , but that's not good if the admin is not present and if he is present it's not good since he has to do all the commands...
Sometimes leting people vote is ok, but should there be some bad voting going on it would be good to be able to cancel it...

Quote from Stellios :

It would be really nice to just have a huge long piece of tarmac, or a really long ring to test your top speeds on. Some cars cant hit top speed on the oval, and it would be nice to be able to figure them out.

In my opinion.

I don't know, to me, the top speed on a particular track is important, not the top speed of the car, which I will never achieve while racing (except a few occasions, like drafting a FZ50 with the LX6 on Kyoto Nat )...

Simmilar thread
interresting discussion...

Well I have organised a 2 class event and it was a succes.
We had the TBO+LX4 vs FZ50, RAC, LX6 classes, it was a race of pairs, each pair had to have one car from each class, the grid was made from the sum of the times of the pair, with the pair standing next to each other, the faster car on the left, slower on the right.
The final standing was made also by pairs, sum the final position of each member of the pair, the lower the number the higher the final position, in the case of equal sum, the relative positions of the faster class cars decided the final position...

Quote from Bob Smith :

But what is it with people translating names? I don't care what country I'm in I'm still going to introduce myself with my name.

it is not translating, i don't know if its the right name, but could be that it's inflection.
in the czech language we have 7 forms>
(you ask and the reply is: )
1. Who, what - Bob Smith
2. without who, what - Boba Smithe
3. give it to whom - Bobovi Smithovi
4. you see who, what - Boba Smithe
5. you call - Bobe Smithe
6. about who - Bobovi Smithovi
7. with whom - Bobem Smithem

So not making these "changes" makes it sound wierd in our language...

Should I translate then "Smith" means "Kovář"

Quote from Tweaker :

Emailing someone to send you a high quality skin is not that hard

The problem is not on my side, but on the other...

A button in the conn list, maybe next to the SS button, that would mute the player (i will not recieve msgs from him)...

In leagues, this would help the players not to get lost in chatter, because you could mute all players except the admin...

Works well with me, changing ENG>CZE>GER ...

You can set the hotkey to change it in windows, I have it on left alt+shift, and it can be set to ctrl + shift...

It works also when LFS is running...

Quote from al heeley :

If all you really want is higher quality screenshots to show off ads from some sponsors, then you must surely already have access to the 1024 skins? If not, how many skins are you talking about? I would have thought that getting access to all the 1024 skins within LFSW is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
Why not just get the people concerned to mail you the skins, unless for some reason, they don't want you to have the full res versions?

Well I only have access to the 1024 ad template for everyone to use, not the actual skins... I guess we will have about 60 drivers (skins)

Well as I said I can tell everyone to mail me their skins, but I know I will not get every single one, although the skins will be on LFSW (without skin the driver can't race), because some people are just too lazy, believe me, I'm organising leagues for over a year now and some can't even read the rules of the league... So getting them to mail me a file can't happen...

What I'm asking is: add a link to driver skins maybe in online stats on LFSW, I'm sure not many people would use it anyway and because the 512 skins downloaded ingame are enough...

This weekend we had the "GTP Weekend" event at the race track I work at and guess what raced here

LX6-R or what?

Quote from Tweaker :

Victor has already explained that they are doing the 512 download on purpose as a 'first step' into seeing how the features works and how much bandwidth is requires. It would cost them double what they are paying now probably, and the server would constantly require more and more space. Allthough I recall Victor saying that they could just keep putting new harddrives in... that is still not something that should be needed. All I have to say is, is if you want 1024 skins they should host it elsewhere. The 512 skins downloaded online is a perfect and quick size for everyone that is using upwards of ISDN speeds.

This has been discussed so many times before, everyone knows some people want to download 1024 skins, but it is just the fact that it costs the devs more and requires more than what we have going on now. And I think Victor said that in the future he might consider raising the size/quality, but not anytime soon I guess. Also think about future releases of LFS, which would most likely include more cars... again the space required is raised, and things become bigger and bigger. Eventually things will have to be upgraded, but in my opinion it isn't absolutely necessary right now, it is perfectly fine what we have now.


LFS Files will not be hosting anybody's normal old personal skin files in the official download sections, there will be personal garage sections in the forum to post your skins there seperately or in a zip. This is due to the fact that LFS Files was lacking in the ease of finding quality skins at 1024 size. This also makes it easier for people who 'want' their work in the official download area to actually recieve comments and to improve, so they could possibly get their file showcased. Hard to explain, but you'll see how it works soon

I think you did not understand what I thought. I meant to be able do download the 1024 skins via browser from the LFSW. The files are there (because you can download your own 1024 skins in a .zip) so the space question is not in place. Ingame downloading of 1024 skins is not necessary, I agree, but I would like to do some screenies and because we have sponsors who gave us prizes worth of $1000 I need all ads to be clearly visible...

I can ask everybody to send me their skins via email, but why should I do it this way, when the 1024 skins are on a server, but I can't download them... Asking people to send them is a option, but i'm sure that I will not get everyone's skin... Some people are too lazy...

Is there a possibility to manually download 1024 skins from LFSW from drivers I choose? I looked all over LFSW and only found the possibility to download all my 1024 skins in a .zip ...

(I would like to make a 1024 skinpack of league skins for everybody to download...)

If it is not possible, I think it would be a nice feature...

Happy Birthday Fordman!

Happend to me too, but I think the program "forgets" where the car's position is (for displaying the track), because when the car made one whole lap (from the lag point) the track reappeared and everything was ok.

I even have a replay where this is happening... but finding it will be tough maybe impossible... i got around 300 replays and i can't remember where it happend...

Quote from LRB_Aly :

On the other hand on public servers the only challenge i have is when i start from behind

That's why I always set the start order to REVERSE on servers where I have the admin pass. Everytime there are a lot of people and it's great fun! Also when racing on other servers, once I get to start from the first row, I jump to the pits and start from there, because I don't like "hotlapping" on the first position...

Scawen, please would it be possible to set the REVERSE starting order as default? IMO not many people change the default dedi-server settings and with the reverse starting order there is much more fun and a bigger challenge in the races...

I need to get laid aswell.
