Speak for yourself, I'm very happily involved

I just don't want to post a picture of her for you all to wank to...

Quote from PMD9409 :

Unlike this.

Productive; No. Tasty; Yes.

A side benefit I've found to working out regularly is you tend to eat better, too. Earlier this year I was in the gym 2-4 times a week for a couple months, and I was eating much, much better than I did before (and since). Mostly because you'll feel guilty for negating your workout with McDonalds, I think. ha

Quote from thisnameistaken :

You won't ever exercise enough to counteract eating shite every day, you just have to get your diet under control.

That depends on your genes. I eat horribly and I'm in pretty decent shape. Visually, anyways. I'm sure I'm fat on the inside.

I do go to the gym when I can be bothered, though.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

Ah, well it's better to be fat and jolly as opposed to thin, chiselled and a massive twat.

Both are preferrable to being a massive, fat, twat.

Quote from Klutch :

lol, as i said above, i have one that does it well

just mixed signals pissing me off, one minute shes hot the next shes cold

WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT FROM ME
FUUUUUUUUUUUU

Oh, that, yea.... That'll happen with the best of them. I've had pretty good luck being supportive and not showing that it pisses me off, seems to work.

2011 for me?

Finish my thesis, graduate, get a good job, a new apartment and start getting some money put away. A vacation would be nice, too.

Originally I was going to move out west, but those plans have been canceled. (Sorry Dustin, I know you wanted me to be your neighbor)

Quote from Klutch :

You women suck.

Just getting it out there.

Just gotta find one who does it well.


I've got mine

Quote from 5haz :

Too far South.

You or me? :P

If you meant me, Buffalo is further south and they get loads of snow. If you go twenty minutes north of me they're in the snow belt and get shat on like you wouldn't believe. Toronto just seems to be in a little pocket of dead plants in the winter. Cold as balls, but still no snow.

Nice consisten lines; hard to achieve on the poor helmet model. As it is now, it looks quite nice, but it looks very 70s. As mentioned, some effects will make it pop. Have a look at current helmets to see some examples of drop shadows on lines, pinstriping along large line edges, etc. Makes a huge difference.

No snow here.... I'm fully expecting a brown Christmas, again... it happens a lot here. I'm okay with that, though, snow is a pain in the arse.

Oh I did the training last week (FYI: Do the training BEFORE changing the 2003 Impreza car. Found that one out the hard way...). Piece of cake, all gold. Got almost all of the Richard Burns Challenges done, too; just the monte carlo stage and I think maybe the japanese one. The Japanese one will be a doddle but I never could get the hang of the monte carlo rally - I think I've only ever won it the rally on the hardest setting once... and never beatten the challenge on its stage.

For the record, I'm not really new to RBR, I just had to reinstall after messing up a file and then forgetting to backup my save before uninstalling the game and reinstalling last week :S

I'm going to work on a personal skin for the 06 Scubby (once I get a solid idea in my head for it) since that's my ride of choice. In the meantime, I wanted to get my face (or at least a different one for the sake of having a different one) on my driver. I'd also love to change the championship files to add more stages to a rally (6 isn't long enough!) and I need to make the AI faster - especially in Finland!

I just finished the finnish rally, and on the last stage (Mustasekla (SP?)) I hit a tree in the first sector, destroying the radiator and breaking my gearbox which was now stuck in 5th gear. Despite this, I made it to the first split over 5 seconds up on the next guy, at the second split I was over 15 seconds up, and I wound up I think it was about 26 seconds up at the finish of the stage. I won the stage by some 26 seconds despite running the entire thing in 5th gear.... and that stage has a lot of 2nd gear corners/hairpins. That's just not kosher. I know I'm not that good. :P

Sweet deal; it works perfectly today (aside from me being sick, and as a result, making triple tree contact in the second corner of the Kuaihvaara stage ). Made it all the way through the rally without any crashes (Aside from me hitting those trees). I even got to exit the game properly when I was finished! :O!

And now, since I can't leave ANYTHING alone and must personalize everything... anyone know which textures exactly are used for the player's driver? There's the "Player-male_01", "player-hd_01" which I assume are the cut-scene texture/shader ini files... but they use the "eeos_face01.dds" texture, which isn't richard burns, and I always thought the player looked suspiciously like the man himself...

Anyone know which textures, specifically, are used, and in which case?

Quote from Vain :

What I meant is the setting in dxdiag-dialogue under the Sound-tab. There you'll get a slider to disable the sound hardware acceleration.

Ah, I recall reading something about a sound slider helping abade some people's freezing issues. I'll give it a try

Quote from dadge :

although this isn't RBR, you might enjoy this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEG2QG9C7PE Impreza mod (1.2) + Downhill Touge track. all on Rfactor. I'm currently searching for every Touge, Drift, Hillclimb, Street track i can get my hands on. imo, Rfactor would make a great Rally sim. the physics are perfect for that kind of racing.

That is the worst sounding vehicle I've ever encountered in a videogame :-X What's whith the 80s stile synthesized style sounds? The incrementally increasing in pitch whine? Ugh...

Looks like a bit of a fun drive, though. Never gave rally in rF a second thought.

Would that be the "ForceSoftware = true" (or similar, directly below the EAX option) option in the .ini?

Hey guys, just to give you an update.


For next season I'm most likely to have a paid ride in Formula ADAC in germany. which is overvelming, something that i've never as much as dreamt of, i mean a paid ride? amazing.

Holy shit! Congrats mate! You lucky son of a...

Quote from TypeRacing :

I have run out of ideas...
Just in case get ZModeler Fix

That's in there already. Thanks for that, though, I know that's solved the problem for a lot of people.

Quote from dadge :

IIRC, RBR had to be installed on your C: (operating system disk). for it to be stable. i can't remember where i saw it but i'm nearly 100% certain this fix was for RBR. it might be worth a try.

I've got it installed to my system drive currently (common practice for me. I have a secondary drive with all of my downloads and whatnot, but programs that install always go onto my system drive).

Quote from TypeRacing :

1) Do you have any kind of addon tracks/cars installed ?
2) Have you tried re-installing ?

3 Cars, 06 and 08 Subarus and 06 Focus. It was crashing before that, though, and I have done a re-install. I've been reading lately, though, that the game has been fairly unstable for some.

I seemed to have improved the situation a little.. it still crashes, but not as often and I was finally able to progress to the next rally. I disabled EAX in the game config and things seem a lot smoother.

Pretty shoddy way to transport a nuclear warhead...

Quote from P5YcHoM4N :

They will use the same 10-20 second loop.

I've noticed this in TG a few times

Quote from NewAssault :

and with textures, you mean like steering wheels, sidewalls, skins and so on? right? I'm currently only using custom sidewalls and steering wheel textures :P

Yep, ALL textures can be freely edited as they, in no way, affect the way the car handles/how it interacts with anything. Plus, all texture changes will only be reflected on your system, not on others' while you are online. (With the exception of custom car skins, if you've uploaded it to LFSW)

Quote from tristancliffe :

But when I want to play Red Dead or LBP with the missus, or GT5 with my housemate then I want the sofa/TV option.

Might have a trial setup later, and see if I can get the G25 on the coffee table with my legs underneath it - sit on the floor, single seater style!!!!!!!

Would it be worth getting a second set of cables? Leave one set plugged in at the desk, the other at the TV, and then you can just quickly unplug the PS3 and move it? I'm thinking that's probably what I'll have to do...

3D model alterations are not allowed, physics changes are not allowed (LFSTweak has been granted permission, though, with certain restrictions IIRC). You can modify any textures you want.

Quote from BenjiMC :

thats what i have, i am getting the same as u but not so often it seems. i just save right away after each stage so if it does crash i can still progress.

I was doing the same, but it seems the second time it loads up the rally hq it crashes, no matter what, which means that I can't progress to the next rally (as it loads rally hq to show the podium of the first rally, then loads rally hq again for the japan rally, upon which it crashes).
