ok, so to protect myself i will not search any Lerts related stuff :P

And as i understand, he got flamed unnessecarily? Sounds like "New Patchflamers" flaming the developers?

Thanks for letting me know

I've been using the same avatar since i joined this forum I didn't know there was like a monthly theme for avatars?

And yes, i have a life WEEEHOOOO (which is over soon, since i ordered a new motherboard for my broken pc. G25+LFShd after 3weeks no playing WEEEEEEEEEEEEE)

Quote from The Very End :

But enough of that, dutchshogun , hope you got your answers (before the latest posts) .

Yep, I have :P And I like to read people flaming eachother It's funny :P Some think they have a huge "E-Penis":P And some think they have an even bigger one :P And then their are the ones, who are just plain retards

Ok, so I seem to be missing a lottt of things in this forum:

Firstly: Everybody had this one girl in his(/her??) avatar after a certain point, and she has slowly vanished again. How come? And who was she?

Secondly: In some topics I read a lot of "lerts"??? What the hell is lerts?? :S

Thirdly: Suddenly the girl dissapeared, and now there's the 3-colored signature with red+green+yellow, which is maybe the worst colorcombination EVER thought of.. What the hell is up with those avatars? Who came up with the idea? Who stole it? What does it mean?

Lastly: Am I a noob for not knowing? Or am I not a "Hardcoer-LFSforum member?"

Commence the flaming!
Greetingz,
DutchShogun

If you play LFS in leagues, or on servers where you always join, no matter what happens (CTRA, or your favourite Cruise/Drift/Race-server) then you'll notice LFS ain't dead at all. But if you are a racer which is a "traveler" in the LFS servers, you may think that LFS is dead, because there are like 700+ servers, and in only 10 servers, there are more than 10 people.

I don't care how long it takes the developers to release the new patch... I don't miss what I don't have.. I'm waiting for it, yes, but what can I do about the development speed by saying: "Hey you! Work harder+Longer+Faster!".. It will only get on those people's nerves, and the work will eventually slow down maybe..

Just go to the miscelaenious/misceleaunious/mische..ahhh, whatever, to the dds+interior+reflections etc. editing thread, and see what's already being done for Hi-resolution VW interiors and such!

As Johan Cruijff once said:
Every vorteil has it's nadeel, und andersom (multilangual so everyone will understand )

To Scawen,Eric and Victor have a nice day guys

ps. I still don't get why you have an account named:
Heiko1 with racername Marco
and an account named:

Quote from chavm481 :

nope, can be bl1 and patch x..

Ooh, ooh, do i hear an incoming Banhammer?

Or:
[scenario]
He used Be-Spoke to change his Patch X rims to Patch Z rims, because he has seen them in movies made by s1/2 drivers. And he liked them soooo much, he made them in Be-Spoke, to be able to drive with them!
[/scenario]

Orrrr . . . He didn't and:

!!KLABANG!! In came the Banhammer
(after all these years, they still don't know they shouldnt post cracked screens?:schwitz

I like the ED skin, looks a bit like mine, with the black rearend, following the lines of the hood I like that very much in FZ skins

Agree with the people who say that the car is too low. That doesn't make the car look nice

As you see in my sig, I've been in LFS for a while, and since I bought S2, I still only know about 25% of all the tracks? Just check my lfsworld and see my laptimeson tracks, or just check out the tracks and combo's I havent driven..

I was in a league, in which I HAD to learn the tracks, but if I werent, I would still only be driving on AS3, or cruising on ASgp, or drifting AU...

dang, thats a lot of me in one sentence

Quote from erfrag :

huh? i've only had LFS since December so its whatever's been out. must be from the high-res pack i downloaded...

edit: from here. doesn't look like its been updated recently. it was a top of the page sticky so i decided to grab it.

Jep, that's outdated :P
On a fresh LFS install, i run that pack first, and then all my interiors etc etc etc etc :P so about 90% disappears again from the pack

Quote from Nicce :

damn u man.. :P
can´t u post the .ini file for it?

looks so good..

Here you go
I'm not certain what it will look like on your systems though, since i'm using an ATI 4870

Let me promote Velociround's settings here
I have almost the same settings as him, only thing is... DoF doesnt work on my ATI card

Video including the Bloommod

Some Screenshots with added Contrast, but still showing the Bloom.



















It's a very, very nice addition to Live For Speed It makes it look wayyyy nicer

** The only thing which is bad about it: It isn't possible for xFire ingame to show up **

Quote from Lynce :

The improvement (early test)._

uhmm Somebody please shoot me?

[opinion]
I don't like/really hate the blingbling Chromepaint looking reflections :P
I rather prefer the matte looking reflections on LFS database
[/opinion]

Still, very nice work you are doing for the LFS community

btw. Nice XR GT you've got there, can i have the mod? xD

Quote from Myw :

Here is an edited drifting picture of me. I used Photoshop CS3 to do the editing. I tried to use blur, use sharpen, use smudging and use lighten.

Link

Sharpen - Check <== A bit too sharp (i think)
Smudging - Check <== I like it
Lighten - Check
Blur - Try to work on the blur's opacity. On the left of the frontbumper, there's a very noticeable gap between the car, road and blurring. Also it overlaps sometimes. Now usually a bit of overlapping is nice, but not if the brush is 30pixels, and opacity+hardness 100%

Other then that: nice reflections and skin

Quote from lukelfs :

Haha, dont know if u remember , ur Avatar, I edited

I also got a new one

That was you?? Nice: "So... We meet again "

You have to teach me how to motionblur etc (When i know what's really wrong with my good PC )

Greetz,

Quote from lukelfs :

Not very

Some more pictures, another close one , i even went through the barrier abit lol..

Quote from lukelfs :

Lol?? how old are those screens? :P I was still driving my own skin :P Pretty close though

Quote from polepositiondriver :

I sent you the link for those track overviews through a PM

Those track overviews, in the meaning of: Custom camera's for the tracks?
If so, would you mind sending them to me? If you wouldnt mind your camera's being used by others to make awesome video's and put you in the credits? :P

Quote from popsy :

very nice shogun, as lynce said, ur angles are gorgeous. reflections are nice, and ur mod is very subtle. good combination, keep it up.

or maybe move to a full scene render?

And by a fullscreen render you mean: Fullsize image? :P I have them all in 1440x900 so If you'd want one, just pm me, or leave a mssg
I made them 800x600 so its easier to post them@forums

Thanks for the comments

Quote from Lynce :

Amazing pics and nice camera angle.

Thanks Coming from one of the masters, it's a compliment

Quote from Tomba(FIN) :

Mind if I use the carbontexture in the same place in our teamskin?

Sure, i didnt make it, its been floating around the forums for a year or so now? :P

Quote from TypeRacing :

You was 4 years demo driver ?

yep, i could never buy lfs, because it was only available on the internet. Which was the place i couldnt buy any stuff from my mother But my buddy bought it, so i asked him to buy it for me too

**4year lfs with a lot of breaks of it etc ** now it's fulltime LFS with S2 and G25

Quote from MAGGOT :

You could just have put the black part on a higher layer couldn't you?

i did, but then it would overlap, all the way down, untill the fender, just try it yourself. Insert the png into a skin, and you'll see
Skin is about 95% done, after a day of hard work Ill post some pics tomorrow, since im gonna sleep now

Quote from macsy :

I really don't see why you can't do this yourself. (<- Not trying to be rude here..) I assume that you're using the pro kit, so just turn on the wireframe, and with that as a quide use some selection tool to cut out the carbon you don't need, or select a part to apply texture/color.

P.S. The carbon fiber texture looks nice, care to share?

I tried a hundred times, and its a real pain in the butt, since the wireframe isnt very sharp
I already found some skins who had that part very clear so it aint needed anymore.

Here's the Carbonfibre texture:

It's the best there is (i think )

Quote from Chrisuu01 :

Would you mind sharing an telling how you made some of them I want to learn as much as i can before I go to graphic school.

To show of

Same here :P i kinda need some stuff still, to work this skin out :P
Now i have the black roof etc, but i want the black roof+trunk to follow the trunk lines :P So it flows nicely next to the lights etc I've made the rest around the Lights Carbon now, but it intercepts with the bodywork lining.

See example for what i mean

THANKSSSS Appreciate it

How do you get that so fast? 0_o
