Post it here... http://www.lfsforum.net/forumdisplay.php?f=8

you probely missed the last 2 times that we have the disustions.

These two were both at a spin off (theard)

And i do agree, i think there are some things that need to change in that,
anyhow i got the feeling that scawen and special victor know that the tbo needs to have a better balance, because of the TBO cup where victor drove a couple of times.

So i think we just need to ask what they are going to do about it

If they know it : the reason why it is not in a test patch yet that is because its not online compatible anymore if you do that

I am on Windows vista ultimate,
Intel Q9950
Ati 260GTX (896mb version) (1680*1050)
4 Gb ddr2 1044 RAM
only 5400rpm harddisk

My Test Results:

standart shadows on high
20 UFR's on So Long Reverse

Standard Shadows
76,5fps

Test Shadows
74,2fps

Shadows off
92fps

I think scawen is right, it should use more from our computer, what is a logical thing after his explanation.

It seems to me you failed to realize the point of DEVIL 007's thread.

Seriously, I don't care if it was 500, 60, 5 or even 64783465453 FPS. Point is, if you buy some new, improved components, you would expect an increase of performance, but in this case it actually decreased.

And it seems to me that you only read the title....

Rockstar, Dont get me wrong, we we are still talking about the same subject "The Lan Event" i see no reason to start every time a Sub-Subject Thread, So maybe its a idea to leave it by one thread , in this way you even got a bigger chance that one the people that are intrested are making a post.

P.s: Dont get me wrong, i am not angry, tierd or happy, its just a piece of advise

Greats,

Reint Jan

Let me Qoute some thing (from a research)

Quote :

your brain can detect flickering till 60 frames per second

So in other words , why the hell would you worry about it is droping between 350~500, and btw everybody got that, because there is no way that a system can be stable at a that high-end speeds,

This has got nothing to do with lfs, it has got to do with gaming in general,

Look: I am easy touching 550, 580 fps in lfs, and sometimes i am touching 170, But i Dont care , because i know (my brains know) that i cant use more then 60!. And like i said before, i got the same in Counter Strike, CoD 4, etc..

(btw: funny qoute in your Signature)

Quote from DieKolkrabe :

I'll get screenies in a bit

Try it, launch LFS, go to SP, garage, cars, pick a car name/type with /cars, e.g. /cars FXO, it'll auto-select FXO and XFG

are you having airio running that got a special car / combo setting selected ?

Edit: Wrong question , i fail

Isn't that the Toyota IQ?

probably designed to shut the wives up about taking the aston for her school run everytime.

it is with a other body kit/ disign, it got the same chass and engine (only 5 hole hp more!!!)

Quote from ColeusRattus :

Seriously, WTF?

Aston Martin Cygnet

I really want to know what the management thought or rather smoked while coming up with this car.

i bit old new , but
anyhow its will be a special car , because you are only allowed to buy it when you allready own a Aston Martin.

So basicly you need to spent 120.000 before you can buy that one,

Quote from Bmxtwins :

But this is for "road cars" this is a RACING simulator so of course the tires will have more grip. Unless your refering to road as in roadcourse

100% wrong here ,

The Round normal suposed to be a Road tyre.

The only thing that you can change in lfs and not in real life is the suspention!! so thats why you need to use bob's road going setups!

EDIT, I Pissed of some old Mercury by using the Word Mercury Racing,
Let me Change it to Scipy!!!

Quote from G!NhO :

Well i don't care about this if this stays within cruise servers.

It's not that big of an advantage imo.

only about 0,5 sec to 1,5 sec on a lap, no thats not much isnt it?

Cheating = Cheating easy as that....

Quote from The Very End :

7 gears and still just 140 kmh.. Hmm, I don't get the point of doing editing of how many gears you got if you car just goes at the same speed

emmm, let me remind you , MOE and Scipy....

its a shame , really really big shame, he was that good!(musical)

Rip....

okay i know what you mean , and i know how you can do it.

but as always with website there are 100 ways to approach this, And you need to find the one that you like.

Way 1:
Work with "div", basically what this means is that you make little pictures form example 3px by 5px and you repeat it every time. (in the comment you will find the idea).

Positive:
- Looks Great
- Many Photoshop / Dreamweaver abilities

Negative:
- Time that taking to make
- Not Compatible to all the browser
- Long loading time

Explanation picture:
Part 1: Left Corner
Part 2: Repeat it 20 time for 100px , repeat it 100 times for 500px, etc
Part 3: Right Corner (made this lined up with part 2 J)
Part 4: Repeat if you want to make it longer
Part 5: This is a Very Very Very hard to code Part. Nearly impossible I would say, because This Part don’t know anything. I should get linked to Part 4, but It can’t because it’s not having a default size. (it is possible to code)
---------


Way 2:
Make 5 Websites designs

Positive:
- Compatible to every browser

Negative:
- You need to make the same layout 5 times



Way 3:

Maybe you can do it with smart tables ( only not sure)


in both ways you need to make a very smart system that is reading out the resolution from the user. to select the right website format.

Just my conclusion:
Don’t Do it, it will bring you more work that advantages. I don’t know any website out there that is using this. Basically, Most of the Web Developers are using 970px now the days. This is because everybody is having at least 1024 these days

i hope i helped you a little bit

Nope noware a ctra system "yet"(i hope)

The special "key" from the ctra system wasnt the ranking system, it was the Wrecker / Report system. And that why you cant have that nice races on one of the Semi-Ranked server (what we have out there now).

The problem from the Report system is that you need some group of people that will check all the replays, Reports. and this will take a hell lot of a time.

The Ctra was a great system, and probely still is a great system, but you cant expect from one guy to check all the reports.

So if someone is planning on a new Ctra he need to be damm sure that he got a Big Stable group together to check all the reports!

Some pb.txt problems,

i got some questions, about the output from the pb.txt.

I got some problem with more people driving the same time, on the same day. but it is using a 12 hour format. ( without am / pm)

is there anyway how i can get a 24hour format out of the results.
i will give you some examples about the output.

date :
Time:

02.06.2009
01:02:58 (done in midday)
19.05.2009
05:29:00 (done in midday, i think)
06.06.2009
11:51:34 (done in the morning)

Well i hope there is a way to build around this.

Let me quesss,

You would like to host for the beta testers

Great idea,
I am only not sure or it would be working like we want too
How do you want to set it up?
Is every server having his own setup?
How is it going with tyre temp. if you finnish the race the next race they are cold again but then are just used.
or will the tyres hold the temp.

In other words good idea good theory, but i am not going to see it working as we like.

remember that a tyre in lfs only can hold 50~80min racing. so when you it doesnt care or you cool them down they will just blow.

Quote from tristancliffe :

Bit of a bump, but this seemed the most recent thread in which to put this little link:

http://vimeo.com/4862120

I hope you enjoy watching it, even if the first half is a bit dull! The thread title is now a bit wrong, as I didn't crash out of the lead this time.

is it the gearbox making that noise on 14min 50sec or is it your brakes?

Anyhow, nice race !!!! Nice to watch

Out of Fuel bug,

Ey, i was watching a m8 from me driving in the server and i found out that there is a differance from hearing that the car is out of feul and that the car is Really out of fuel.

I have add a .mpr from what happend:
At 14 min 10sec = spectator out of fuel
At 14 min 17sec = car out of fuel

I found out what the biug is
If you drive you tank empty you can still drive on 0.0% (to drive the last 0.04% out of the tank)
At the moment the car shows he has 0.0% left the spectator his sound turns in to the "no fuel sound".

omfg grid a simulator /facepalm

It is, But maybe not the best one.

Anyhow, Very Very Nice Episode keep on going guys Nice Work

Quote from EQ Worry :

Download it again please, it has been updated a bit, the export to PB.txt is always UTF now (as you may check e.g. in Notepad). Just overwrite EXE and PDF files with the ones from newest archive, run it, try !exp, etc...

Cool , Thanks for your help

Quote from EQ Worry :

Ah, yes, sorry about that. Handling LFS strings is still a nightmare. LFS Lapper file is now output as ASCII, but unfortunately this destroys all non-standard chars with code > 127. Well, the other option is to output the PB.txt file as UTF, but I'm afraid you'll hit some other troubles trying to display such characters on Web pages.

Currently I cannot offer a perfect solution. But ASCII output is simply wrong. Please try to download 2.2.4 (again if you did that just yesterday), there's UTF export implemented. See if it works better for you and let me know...

i am running that one , where can i setup that i want to use UTF export ?

(i think i can handle utf, i got a decoder for that, before i put it into a database
