I guess it will be real groovy to cruise with that skin!

Quote from wonderous :

- When I put xxxxxxxxxx.homedns.org:8888 into the address bar it connects to the folder in this computer where lfs is hosted and there I can see the all the files and also host63392.txt file which means the link is working. Btw i set up an internet server it's called PRO starters' Drift, which creates the "host63392.txt" file.

Didn't dig too deep into problem, but my guess is that this test works because both computers (or is it same computer even?) are behind that router. From outside world you probably can't connect, so something wrong with port forwarding.

I tried changing IP of master server in lfs.exe (0.3H), and it doesn't work. Looks like new master rejects any older versions now. So I guess S1 is sort of abandonware already?

Though if you look here http://www.liveforspeed.net/?page=downloadsarchive, it still says "LFS 0.3H Released October 2004 - A stable and full version of S1 - unlockable with at least an S1 license".

Shouln't jokes like that go here: http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Live_For_Speed.

Aha I see it's done. Nice, thanks! More information - better.

Quote from Don :

1. he didnt leak engine sound editor - its been in the game, he "just" revealed the info how to access it.

And that in itself is a good thing, no? We have now nice DaveWS soundpack and all.

Aww please let Kid back in! I'm his fan.... mmmm sort of.

Quote from Victor :

I also would like to keep the "LFSW - " at the start of the messages, to indicate the origin of the message. So that's another 7 characters.

Could use "LFSW: " instead - saves one valuable character.

But anyway, "LFSW: 123456789012345678901234 drove new PB X:XX.XX (-XX.XX)" would fit no problem, 60 characters max.

And one more question about LFSW messages: why isn't first lap with this track/car message public like PB message is? I guess at least half of times people let others know of that anyway (T - up arrow - Enter).

BTW, when displaying message about PB, why not also show what previous PB was? And as it comes from computer anyway, also why not compute and show difference.

Something like this: somebody drove new pb: X:XX.XX (previous X:XX.XX improvement X.XX).

Quote from Victor :

updated those names to the 'proper' ones too now (for new entries that is)

Maybe should do same for tracks also? BL1 etc.

How can be mp3 better or worse than sid. It's just recording of its output. But why that stupid fake stereo?

Also there's that legendary Rally Pack. Maybe it isn't only a rumour...

How this virtual wind blows is clearly seen when you do burnout and watch in some external view. Smokemod recommended.

Technically, there is point to point course already. Drag strip, and also can do it on autox.

Well, this easy to find out after you get all 858 charts with a script from pubstats.

Quote from BWX232 :

It just gets so boring with so few tracks.

Checked your online stats... there seem to be lot of tracks you haven't done single lap on.

Quote from mrbogeyman :

e.g. I delete the #4 then hold Ctrl to re-enter the correct colour then just type in #3.

Hmm your "workaround" seems better!

No.

Oh and about older versions... Does new master not support those at all any more or just older versions don't know where to connect? In later case master IP could be easily changed in lfs.exe. Also some very old versions have possibility to configure Master IP right in game.

Quote from Scawen :

Ian : I think colour codes are correctly ignored. But codepage changes are not ignored. If you can find a reproducable case where one seems wrong, I'd like to know about it.

Have this problem quite some time already but was too lazy to report... Usually last server I connected to is "[dSRC] Battle Grounds #X", where X is number 1-5. Now if I go to "connect to specific server", I can't just replace that number to connect to some other of our servers, have to delete all name with color codes & type it all again (works without color codes).

Here's one also: http://hx.pri.ee/dsrc/dice.php. It's not totally absolutely random though, time at hour resolution is used as seed.

Press alt + space right after going from LFS to desktop. Sometimes this reveals program that stole focus.

I think it's quite pointless to hack it like this... Doubt this streaming would work properly. That's something for Scawen to implement.

Replay system & MPR format needs updating anyway.

Eric's work is sure nice, but having only one designer leads to everything having kinda same style, both cars & tracks.
