This is a link to the function file_get_contents http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/function.file-get-contents.php

It is only available in PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5 as stated in the above link.

Heres a link to the PHP Quick Manual Reference http://www.php.net/quickref.php

Also if learning PHP I found the tutorials on this site very helpful http://www.tizag.com they gave me a good understanding and it's just the tip of the iceberg

Quote from tristancliffe :

Great. Another milestone in LFS's history - proper multiple language support. I'm d/ling it now, even if I stand little to gain from it (partly to help bug test, and partly cos it makes me feel good having the latest version!)

:iagree:

:doh: I should have said to put the "team member LFS Name": in lower case.

The reason for using strtolower in the switch statement was to try and stop any mistyping of Upper and Lowercase characters in the LFS Name. The ouput though is in the case as defined in the data file.

Thanks for the php code Victor it works a treat.

I have amended the variable names as one or two conflicted with variables aready used in my code. I have added a function to remove the colour code data and created a formatted table that will fill with team members if they are listed in the data file.

I hope this will be of some use to someone.

Have you copied the .tsf files from the directory you installed AnalyzeForSpeed in to data/smx?

DFP RevB00 here.

I found the best one to use out of them is Analyze For Speed it also has a 3D chase mode by pressing the Letter T.

Would all those who agree with disabling the reset then surely your also for disabling the ability to go directly to the pits during league races.

If so then please add your support to the following thread http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=434

Thanks

Yes only after the replay is watched and with the races getting longer and more cars on the grid thats gonna take up alot more time.

If you go directly to the pits your laps are rest to 0 and you are able to rejoin the race. What I am saying is that this option should not be available during league racing (an option that can be switched on/off at the server by the admins), therfore avoiding any confusion on any rules and ellimiating any possiblility of the racer re joining causing any damage to others. Surely they should go round to the pits off the racing line and complete a proper pit stop, this option is a get out of jail free card especially on first lap incidents and could be classed as cheating.

These administrative options of stopping the ability to go directly to the garage are really meant for league races.

If someone does this and returns to the race they could cause incidents that they should not have been involved in in the first place and it's not fair for those who genuinely make a pit stop to repair damage.

I would like to know what the Dev's views are on this.

Keeping the faith

I have just recently changed from a MS Sidewinder FF (USB) wheel to a DFP. Wow what a change It will take a little while to get used to, meaning learning to turn the wheel more but makes the feel of the car better.

I'm not sure of the PS2 - Xbox difference but the one people talk about is the PS2 version.

Yes it says for a PS2 but it is a USB connection and all you need to do is download the Beta 4.60 drivers from http://www.wingmanteam.com It was installed and running in 5 mins

I got mine from (its the RevB00 pedals) http://www.gameseek.co.uk/productdetail/PS2c4zcf9z58c0na5rz/

I think it you will find it worth the change.

Smith - Thanks for the quick reply. It was more of a hopeful suggestion and yes I do agree it should an administrative task and thats why I also raised this thread in the improvements section


http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=434

Smith - Are you able to determine if a valid pit stop has taken place or the person has gone straight to the garage and out (I know doing this resets the laps to 0) as it would be nice if Stats was able to detect this then placing the person as a DNF at the bottom with 0 laps completed.

The reason I am asking is during a league race someone sustained damage then immediately went to the garage came out and completed the race. And was fewer laps down than others who had made legitamate pit stops. This was found out after watching the replay and amending the stats page

I have also added a post in the improvement section asking for the Shift+S and Pits options be allowed to be switched off so there is no going to the garage during a race just pit stopping.

Dean

Whilst driving in a league race it was noticed that a couple of drivers sustained damaged and instead of driving to the pits they must have either pressed Shift+S or gone to options and selected Pits to return them to the garage. They then returned to the race and finished x laps down, this is not fair on the other players who actually got to the pits to get fixed, and may have been more laps down.

Is it possible to have an option on the server that stops drivers going direct to the garage during a race, they must either complete a proper pit stop are if unable to make it to the pits spectate. This would be most helpful to All leagues.

Thanks
