gee.. again?

If a synth is generating sounds, than im fine with it,

after all, it isn't finished...

imagine, it could sound better than you think one day when they get around to finishing the existing generator!

I think a scripting languagewould be better suited and better to learn,

Bringing a higher leval (or lower leval, i mean) form of LFSScript that functions like an object oriented language would make much more sense. Something that is easy to update on the fly, and it could run much like a clientsite script, being parsed as LFS runs.

I think it would be easier to learn this way!

Purely for styling reasons, without performanche changes, that way rims are chosen for tast, or to match a skin, instead of performance (to prevent a rim from dominating)

Pretty much what Keiichi said on top!

Thats making things too complicated...

If you want us to compile our own DLL files,
then what language are you expecting all of use to learn, C#, C++ , Java? VB.Net?

Sorry, Ill stick to PHP and build little website thingies, or just mod PHPBB, alot simpler, and less likely to generate errors!

**** Lock it pls!

Please.... stop!

If people want this view in their cars, they will adjust it themselves!

Quote from Gunn :

Under race conditions some people will gain time by drafting others or cutting corners or bump drafting etc. This would make their best time erroneous compared to a person who set their best time with no "artificial" help to improve the lap time. You wouldn't be able to compare apples with apples.

Especially on oval...

Especially who think their Drafting time on oval actually means something other than 'they can draft'!

Quote from BlueFlame :

I noticed, when renaming colour sets, there seems to be a bug, i can't explain it very well, im not sure if its the same with the setups though

At least try to explain it.... you just left me hanging out a window....:nosy:

Quote from The Very End :

You can do that, but they will end up by ruining the race, they will crash all the people aswell as they would be slow backmarkers that totally disobey the blue flag. So if you want good and clean racing on a server, you must NEVER EVER have the AI in a race, they will screw it all up!

The point of this thread is to fix that!

Quote from Ball Bearing Turbo :

No I don't mean skidmarks.

The actual tarmac darkens, visible as a wide band of ... well ... darkend tarmac on the areas that get driven over the most.

There is the option to disable this BTW, so make sure your setting is set to "all cars". You can turn the updating off, have it update based on your car only, or have it update based on the path of all the cars. It's in the options screen, but I'm not at home so I can't point you to the exact menu - but it's there for sure... The option is called "update path" I think, or something similar.

Yeah..

This is also something that can deliberately paint incorrect lines if a server is full of noob specificly trying to follow the dark area (warping it off further )

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

Or. Why dont the Dev's sort stuff that ACTUALLY matters.
Stuff for ONLINE. Since its an ONLINE game..

And you think AI are not part of online games? heh? THey are more valuble than yu think,

you are flaming without even explaining your point of view, and why yyou think that way !

Quote from riffey4 :

I dont think AI needs any work.
Who drives against AI?
I know 4 ppl IRL who own LfS, and non of them practise against AI.
Either they practise alone to get to know a track, or they go online and learn there.

I know they are working on it... but really... who uses AI when you can go online to race real people?
The last game I played SP was Halflife (1)

And yest you forget about the people with bad connections, there are also servers that will use AI as gridfillers just to broaden the race grid (eg,, 4pple can make recing empty, )

And i think you are being a bit ignorant! ^^ read above the entire thread to see the poor ppl that suffer because of bad ai...

Quote from auto emocion :

I don't care about AI at all, because i only play online.

Well, then what are you doing in the AI thread?

Quote from Darkone55 :

Today I had an idea.. What if... The AI could learn from the player? If it could take over the braking points, lines.. stuff like that. And of course compensate a bit by letting it make small errors, just like a real human. This would make the AI challenging for everyone!

Just a thought..

Good comment but you are forgetting about the noobs . Noob could be training the AI to drive like noobs, ... possibly?,,, im guessing!

Quote from Rikje :

How about they learn how to overtake ? I've trained AI's for a BLGP 30 lap race with the Fox. For fun I putted the quickest ones at the back of the grid. And they didn't even try to overtake! They only release the throttle a little to get some distance...

Yes.... to overtake while maintaining constant awareness.... If only AI attempted clean overtakes, but aborted if it sees the (obvious immenent crash before it happens with the) player in a 'bad' or 'unpassable' spot!

If only we could call the AI our friends.

And your avatar is funny... lol.. original!

Quote from rc10racer :

All cars are planned to be redone for S2 final or patch Y.

Were did you get that information???


and TWO:::::::::


Hey guys, Im telling you this from the perspective of a sketch artist... DONT JUDGE INCOMPLETE WORK!

LFS is alpha, there is a massive chance that virtually enything could get overhauled at anytime,

and , the cars were probably never considered complete in the first place. They are likely to change sooner or late, but not anytime soon.

Rather wait till 2009 before complaining about model quality, rather make technology suggestions instead!

the word oval showed up a moment ago....

Somebody forgot to fix the bugs in time itself?

Are you saying 'time' need debugging?

Quote from mrodgers :

So? Because he may not have the cash to pay for S2 or his parents won't allow him to buy, he doesn't have ideas that he thinks may improve LFS?

It's not like he's suggesting more content for the demo.....

actually my sentence was never finished.... but it was gonna be something about these really odd and unusual and unrealistic suggestions that demo racers tend to give.....

'third spr.......coilo...und..... newwww...... soap'

uh... '3rd cup of coffee'!

Quote from BEEAH :

Maybe have some type of limit, or a slick little system that can help sort all of the setups based on track and car once uploaded. Having a few dozen setups in one folder gets a bit nutz.

Or simply clean out your old setups, you know.... the 60+ inferno setups you downloaded, a large portion in wich you dont use.....

simply erase and backup.

Another option: Filexoom.com <--- free file storage,, forever!

And its probably gonna happen anyhow...

... even Scawen must've seen the same wiki!

Oh look.....

... another demo racer!

I hope people realize there's a game & a show called PIMP MY RIDE... keep the spinners there... not here!

Quote from JohnBMW007 :

but Alpha is almost over, and Beta is just around the corner. i dont think making LFS have this ability is too far-fetched and unfeasible, so im guessing that it could be done by the end of patch z and ready for Beta.

Huh.???

Whaaaaaaaaaatttttttttttttt??????


Wheeeeaaaaaaarrrrrrrrreeeeeeee????????????

Did I just waaaaaarrrrppp thrrrrouuuught tttiiiiiimeeee?

Is it 2010 already?

Quote from MAGGOT :

These types of maps have to be high res to look any good IMO. I see these in rF constantly, and they look like crap because they make small grooves in the bodywork half an inch wide. Looks stupid, so you'd have to use a high res map to get the grooves to look the proper size.

As for DOOM3 graphics; I Thought they looked pretty bad, to be honest. I'd take a higher poly model over one with all kinda of fancy shaders and maps any day. The different maps make things look fake and plastic-like.

Agreed!

Bumpmapping should be used un track surfaces though, but not cars. But Highres bumpmapping can laaaaaaagggg down a 3d engine!

Quote from Bodhidharmazen :

Are all of these planned upgrades?
