Should've reworded that. Supposed to say we might've. But anyways ill talk to him.

Me and kamo are starting to work on a new one like this.

PHPMotion?

Down again.

Hey guys, Was wondering is there a "Flick Effect" mod for firefox? If anyone has a touch screen phone they should know what im talking about. Basicly when u flick the scroll and it keeps scrolling it self but starts to slow down.

Its on most phones. I think it would be good in firefox. I have a touchpad with my laptop with a scroll bar.

Sorry to barge in but the insim isnt from scratch....

Nvm, seen tho the attack came through a program i had.

Hello, Recently last night my friends server crashed and went back up and crashsed again. My insim was connected to it. Right after my insim crashed, I was attacked by 5 trojans.

How would i export insim stats from a MySQL database and display them on my website?

Its using PHPMotion same thing as LFS Videos. But its pretty nice

Been down. Maybe I can setup a new Lfs Video!

I have noticed that now after using Test patches, I have been timing out more often.

I have a 10mbit connection. 20 down and 5 up.

Quote from Scawen :

Dear LFS Community members,

I have not been able to easily browse the forum recently (you'll see why below) and Victor has let me know that there has been some unease in the community due to my absence.

The reason why is because of something I did not tell you before, and that is that Geraldine and I have moved house. Our old house was too small to work in now that we have a small child and a baby. One downstairs room was used as my office and the other was used for everything else - sitting room, play room and dining room of sorts. At this stage we really needed to have a dining table instead of sitting at a coffee table in the living room, so it was time to move. Actually that has been the case for a long time but finally we found the house we wanted, so we decided to take the opportunity and make the move. We managed to get in just before Christmas with a minimal amount of stuff so that was very nice for us and it's really great to have some space instead of being 4 people and two cats crammed into such a small house.

That's all good news so far... and we are very happy in our new home, but sorting it out has taken longer than expected, as with many things, including LFS development, there are a lot of unforeseen issues that take a lot of time to sort out.

Anyway, to get to the point, I expected to be back on LFS full time in mid-January, but I'd say now it would be mid-February before I can be totally on the case again. The main reason for that is the actual reality of packing and moving and changing addresses and finding places for things and hanging things on walls etc, etc... as anyone who has moved house will know.

I'd also like to relay to you another problem that has taken up some of my time and definitely kept me off the forums to some extent, and that is the incompetence of BT and Virgin media, who have let me down in their attempts, or lack of attempts, to provide me with a broadband service.

I feel it is fair to mention how both of these companies have let me down quite significantly. Originally, in mid-December, I ordered phone + broadband from BT. What I actually got was just the phone line. Something looked wrong as things were not happening as BT had said they would, but customer services informed me that everything was 100% OK with my order. They only believed that something was wrong when my activation date had passed and I had no equipment and no broadband activation. Unbelievably they also lost all record that I had orginally ordered broadband at all! So, after half a day of phone calls to various BT customer service centres, I finally realised that I had really vanished from their system.

Naturally I turned to another ISP at this point, and why not Virgin Media who had served me very well with a cable service in Twickenham? I made my order which would be activated in 7 to 10 days. Amazingly, once again, I was served with a wall of silence. None of the promised emails, text messages and letters informing me of the progress. Even more amazingly, when phoning customer services a few times, I was informed that my order was proceeding as planned. Total disregard for the fact that I told them I was not receiving any of the progress reports and the order tracker was reporting a fault. Anyway, once the activation date had passed, Virgin Media finally admitted there was a problem, and it had supposedly been due to someone entering my old address with my new phone number. I was told the only way forward was to order again and wait at the back of the queue for 7 to 10 days again. Well... guess what I'm going to tell you now... it failed again! Once again, this second Virgin order "errored" at an early stage, once again I got no emails and texts and letters, once again customer services reported that they were 100% certain that the order was progressing as planned. And once again, it was when my activation date had passed that they finally agreed there was a problem. And only now could someone actually report what the problem was...

Now for the technical bit - there is something called a "tag line" that Virgin (or any other ISP) can use to connect a phone to an ADSL service. But "BT Wholesale" (who have a monopoly on phone lines except in cabled areas) had only got the first part of my post code down in the tag line. Of course Virgin were trying to connect using my whole post code. Anyway, yesterday I spent 6 hours phoning around. As Virgin were referring me to BT to sort out this "BT" problem. Only problem is, it's not possible for a customer to phone BT Wholesale. You cannot get the phone number and if you could, they would not talk to you anyway unless you are an ISP. Virgin kept referring me back to "BT Retail" but that was ridiculous, BT Retail informed me they are just another ISP like Virgin, and could not sort out the problem of another ISP! Back and forth I went, each company telling me that the other was the one to sort it out. Finally I had to contact the regulating authority, Ofcom. Ofcom quickly contacted Virgin Media head office and they got in touch with me quickly, to their credit. But even then I was informed that I had to contact BT Retail! It's quite incredible that Virgin Media don't believe that they can actually contact BT Wholesale to sort out a problem. Anyway within an hour the postcode problem, that had been discovered about 6 hours earlier, was finally resolved, when Virgin decided to "take a chance" and contact BT Wholesale. But to make this happen I actually had to tell them that I had two small children who have no curtains because I've been unable to do the necessary internet research, and have delayed using alternative methods to find curtains, etc, because I have been continually told that I would have internet within a few days.

Quite an unbelievable story I guess you will agree. I thought I should relay that to you - it's my duty to British people to report what I have gone through trying to get a connection. What bothers me is not that there was a technical problem or a typo. It's just quite sickening that they could keep saying to me that everything was fine, instead of admitting there was an issue and actually finding out what that problem was. Unfortunately I still have no connection, but now the root problem is apparently solved, it should be possible to get connected. I need to get on the phone again on Monday to see what is the way forward, and if I need to re-order again and wait another 7 to 10 days, or if they can do something more quickly. One thing to note is that my neighbours have broadband - I would not have moved into a house where broadband was not available! So don't worry, there is no possibility that I will not be able to get a connection eventually.

Anyway, that has affected my browsing and kept me away from the forums, but actually it has not been the main reason why I have not continued my side of LFS development so far this year. Even with dial-up I would be able to upload test patches for the community or get the Scirocco finished with the beta testers. I've just been sorting things out and there aren't all that many boxes lying around any more, my office is basically set up and waiting for the connection. There's still a bit more to do here before I get right back into LFS full time work, but as I said, I expect to be on the case in two weeks or so, getting that Scirocco sorted out and continuing with other things we will be releasing this year.

Thank you for your patience!

Scawen

Verizon did the same thing to us. Sent us back and forth. To DSL saying oh no a Fios techinician will help you. Then Fios says back to DSL. Then fianlly after 1 week. They worked together and fixed it for us! Verizon doesn't communicate very well for a communications company.

Also congratulations on the new house! I hate/kinda love moving houses. I hate it becaue You have to unpack everything. I love it because its fun to explore more things in the house.

Quote from Azzano62 :

I have a problem I cant figure out the command to give cars,km or happyhour and i cant add police can some one help it would be very appreciated.

oh and does anyone know code for adding jobs to the insim

First of all Azzano. This isnim does not allow you to "give cars and km, and do happy hour" And the second question can be answered back into the thread.

(We are still warming up your seat in the team )

I am going to check with windows 7.

No, Mikjen. But there is a MySQL version setup that has the 8 player limit fixed. I could host the insim and database for you.

Well the internet connections where i run my servers is a 5mb con. I dont think thatll do good when there are a media server running (survalance system) as it is a mini mart, and 5-7 lfs servers running + 1 ts server.

robbo as i host the mysql server. I will need to forward port 3306 and then will my computers ip work?

@elmohellno
Elmo. Could you please provide a tut on how to setup mysql to work with this?

At first I wanted to say that you are a kid with a lot of time on your hands. Then I noticed the ads on your new forum and I realised, that you are not a bored kid. You are a clever (but not that clever) grown-up.

But still, good luck with your forum, I will register there as soon as some interesting conversations appear

100% not proffiesenal. Im only 10 and can do better. Was used by a free forum creating site.

Fix the rubber? :shrug

Quote from evilpimp :

Sad news yet good news. :P Sad news that we'll have to wait a bit longer but great news that LFS is evolving so much and getting a new TC, stability control AND limited setup options!

Anyways, keep up the good work. I'm sure you're doing everything you can.

Its ok Scawen. We all understand that these things happen in game devolpment. I will be happy to test patches and report any bugs. Since i run an Intergrated card on my moms computer i can feed info about bugs with computers older than 2002.

Quote from buedi :

Just read that starting post from Scawen about that delay... and I can say it´s good news for me.
Why? 1st you need balls to say that something where hundreds of people are waiting is delayed. I am sure there will be many complains (no, I did not read the whole thread now).

But it´s great to hear that the release is delayed until the Bugs are fixed and more important, that the new features we get (including the car) will be released only when they reach the high standard we all expect.

2nd: I had not thought that we get the car this year, so I was really surprised that we should get it this week. Because of that I really have no problem waiting longer for something I did not expect to get before Q1 / Q1 2009.


So, thanks for delaying the Update and the Scirocco until it´s perfect. You do it better than most of the big companies where we all are playing REAL Beta testers (sadly you never find that on the Box!). Here, we play a Alpha which has a higher standard of quality than most released, boxed Products which claim they are finished

Looking forward to 2009 wishing all a very nice Christmas and a happy new year

Everyone should listen to this guy. He really told us why we should wait!

Guys no need to be mad. Do you want a car that doesn't even represent the real one right now? Or do you want a good quality scirrocco? Come on Lfs Forum Users cheer them on!

Scavier: I think you guys will acomplish your goal of finishing the car and make it the best car ever in lfs! Go Scavier! Go Scavier! Wooo!

Ill offer free servers!
