What's the error? What environment are you trying to start PRISM in? MAC? Windows? Linux?

Quote from Whiskey :

I've never been on such a situation, and sure nobody wants to, so I can only wish they can recover from this experience without any further loss.

It's never a fun situation. I applaud their work to help out in the emergency shelters setup in the area. When Hurricane Sandy rolled in too NY last year we pretty much lost a few cities over night. 911 was swamped with calls, Long Beach Fire Department, who are all Volunteers were fighting fires with water up to their chests, and they had multiple building on fire from on the same block, and there were even more fires that they could not even get too. Nassau County has a whole did more calls in the 2 weeks following Sandy then we did all of last year combined. Working as a Captain in another department we covered their ALS (Advanced Life Support) for a while because they lost all of their apparatus. It looks to me, much like what is going on in IL right now.

Anyone who is able to walk should be helping really. This is an MCI (Mass Casualty Incident) Any help anyone can give really helps everyone. It helps the emergency responders, who are incredibly overworked in these situations. It helps the people you are helping because they are getting the help they want or need. And it helps you because you have something to do and you don't think about the devastation surrounding you.

Please everyone spare a moment for a thought for Zenware and T3charmy who both happened to be affected by the tornado that went through Illinios recently. For those that don't know they are both contributing programmers for this PRISM project.

The town of Washington, Ill., about 140 miles southwest of Chicago was particularly hard-hit as an EF-4 tornado touched down there. According to the Associated Press, Washington Mayor Gary Manier estimated that between 250 and 500 homes in the town of 16,000 residents were destroyed or seriously damaged Sunday.

zenware sent me a PM last night telling me that he and T3 were still alive and zenware is working in disaster centers and emergency shelters setup around the area.

Or it could be that the settings are only making the buttons local. I'm pretty sure it's a flag in the ISP_ISI packet.

If your running a host that is also the client in the game, you might be tripping over the ISF_LOCAL flag.

I would like to know how to draw the YAW value in the GRID.
Please, let me know the calculation formula.

mail: [email protected]

No one should ever support anyone else via email. It competly misses the point of the internet and these forums.

Also, I take it you mean YAW as the cars facing direction vs that of it's direction of travel, but I have no idea what you mean by GRID.

you are aware that carmack is working for the rift these days?

He is now, yes, but not when they first came out. Carmack only joined in like 2 months ago.

Quote from Scawen :

As I'm just a chap who likes programming and am not really interested in what all the different versions of DirectX and latest video cards can do, I assume that DX9 has plenty of good features we could make use of, and I have no idea why we would want to go to a higher version.

Thank you for the honest answer.

Quote from Scawen :

It's the first time I have encountered any kind of problem with VC6. I suppose that the upgrade to DX9 and the use of a modern compiler will need to happen at the same time, then I'll be able to connect with the Oculus SDK.

Is DX9 where you are intending on landing just to support Oculus? Are you considering going to DX11 in order to get the performance gains from it? Perhaps a OpenGL version, so it's easier to make it cross platform at a later date, as some of us are staring at SteamOS and it should increase the lifespan of LFS by going to a platform agnostic graphic API ...

Questions, questions ...

InSim should automatically have the same authority as the instances it's connected too. All you have to do is send the game forward slash commands.

So this system would facilitate users that have multiple accounts, because they are getting banned. [sarcasm]Yeah that sounds like a recipe for awesome.[/sarcasm]

I was under the impression that even demo users are required to have a LFS login.

Why are you having people "!login" and "!register" in the first place, you can do both when they connect to the server in the first place. Why add this layer of complexity.

Quote from JackCY :

I would rather say the switch is applied until you encounter another switch that resets the current code page while reading that string or sets a new. Not only 1 character but a whole sequence.

That is correct. The 'switch' applies until another 'switch' is seen.

These are the code page conversions that you are looking for as per Vic. So after you see a Caret and then one of these characters you have to use the corresponding code page from then on in the string. But if you see ^8 or ^9 you have to convert back to the default code page (IIRC, but ^8 might only apply to color, and ^9 applies to everything).

There will be more soon. Big picture mode is something that I have used in my living room.

I've asked for this feature before. What you are looking for is called OAuth (2.0), it allows for another site's user database to be used on your site. It does not give direct access to their database, as the authentication happens on the third party server, but it does send back an authentication string, that you can then verify with the 3rd party site, on your origin site.

Memory leak? Sometimes it causes the game to page out resources to the swap that it needs, resulting in a long Round Trip Time to get the data. It's rare, but it happens. The guy who is having the problem should be looking at task manager when this happens to see the memory and CPU usage of your process.

That leader board is sharply reducing frame rate?

Just look how fast the thermals on the tires change. It's incredible.

I like this project. Your work is worthy. Just pass along the good will to the next guy ok? Still waiting for Victor to fix the bug BTW.

Colors in PHPs CLI

If you really wonna buy license for me - wait for S3 and buy voucher

Sorry for OT.

Nice try, that only works on Linux. I'm looking for the Windows way of doing it. Anyway. I can't buy a license right now, so I've reported to bug to Victor. I'll send an S2 license your way Lexanom once Victor has fixed it.

If you show me how you did the color's in the cmd.exe package, I'll buy you an S2 license. I want to have that option with PRISM (Check my signature for that.)

Somebody get this man an S2 license!

In a word, no. InSim allows you to get data about the state of the game, and even allows for a level of interaction, but you'd have to make your program into a controller interface if you wanted to control the car in game. You should look at this.

I have no idea what on earth you are talking about.
