Quote from The Moose :Welcome to CTRA Smile

Just wanted to say, things may be a little rough on Race1 and SS1 at times, but persevere, the quality of racing on the higher level servers is really worth the effortThumbs up

Have fun!

I sure hope so, Im currently hammering my CTRA SS1 licence just so I can race in SS2. I suck badly, but I wont stop!! Big grin

Thread is acutally irrelevant now as I have just found out. It can be done via commands. (/rstmin X , /rstend X).

Mods: Feel free to lock/delete.

Quote from Danke :I did run into some errors tonight. Somehow insim got turned off in my LFS dedi, which of course brought down your app. I was able to restart it, and it worked for a while, then it started dying with this error...

LFS Admin & Race Rotator V1.0.4.3
Connecting to InSim....
Connected

Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

Not sure if that's the restart bug you mentioned above or not. I tried to re-initialize insim on the dedi and restart the app, but the same thing happened again.

Not sure what that is tbh, Dont know why it kept happening even after a restart. That said, The next version should have an auto reconnect feature.

In version 2 Im working and rewoking on a lot of stuff. I have removed all the !kick, !ban, !spec commands. Im reworking them into an interface, As seen in the pic attached.

PS: You will not see yourself and the host in the release version, I changed the code purely so I could show you.

Vain, He uses C#.


On a side note, Could I get the source to that pitspotter? Im taking on the scary language that is C++ and I need all the help I can get.

InSim: Packets to control restart time

I would like to see some packets added to insim. If not new packets, Then sub types of SMALL. My suggestion is to be able to control the "no restart within X seconds of race start" and "no restart within X seconds of race finish". I would like to see this in insim as I cannot remember how many times I have been in CTRA and the Track is ment to change. due to people voting restart, The track doesnt change when its ment to. People might think, "Why not use VTC in insim", basically... its crap. Everytime Ive tried to use it in multiplayer. It didnt work. Simple as. Anyway, What do you think?

E: I should add, I know this is suggested in "Server options wishlist" thread as commands, but im thinking via InSim maybe easier.

TBH, I dont mean to be rude, but your making a mountain out of a molehill. You could update the player(All of them on the track 8+) in a very simple way.


private void MCI_CarInformation(Packets.IS_MCI MCI)
{
for (int i = 0; i < MCI.NumC; i++)
{
Players[GetPlyIdx(MCI.Info[i].PLID)].position = ++MCI.Info[i].Position;
}
}

That code WILL work for more then 8 players, Its cleaner and its a lot smaller. Unless im missing something, why not just do that.

MSI Isnt a packet? I think you mean MCI. You are best off using the MCI packet to maintain the positions. Then you will have a constantly updated list of positions. You can turn them on in the ISI packet, Or in LFS_External the connect method. All you have to do, In the MCI method, Is make a for loop and iterate through the MCI packet.


for(int i = 0; i < MCI.NumC; i++)
{
Players[GetPlyIdx(MCI.Info[i].PLID)].position = ++MCI.Info[i].Position;
}

If your wondering why I have put ++MCI.Info[i].Position, Thats because LFS counts from zero (Example: 1st = 0, 2nd = 1; 3rd = 2..etc etc) So it makes your life a little simpler. That also should work if there is more then 8 players.

HTH

Tiscali acutally arnt bad for me. Ive had them about 1 and 1/2 years now. Never had a connection go down, Never needed to contact support. The speed is quick, Im constantly at around 6.5mb (8mb advertised, but meh). That said, I dont get to enjoy much of it with this stupid D-Link Wireless box..

Quote from Scawen :That is against the license agreement. If we find out who your friend is we will ban her user name either temporarily or permanently.

IMO, You should ban that demo guy too. The other person may have lent there licence, But they didnt force this demoer to use it, did they?

Quote from Krammeh :(eg. CTRA, LTC and so on) which you could submit further detailed information.



I think this would be a smashing feature to be added to LFS - and would bring the individual communities that are around LFS, together once again.

You mean, Bring racing and cruising together? Not gonna happen.

Quote from DarkTimes :Of course the best aid when working with C# is the fantastic Visual Studio intellisense. It's one of the things I really miss when working with other languages.

Indeed, RAD is very handy and saves a lot of time.

Quote from JO53PHS :You don't neccessarily need an insim. An referee will do just fine, but a insim helps if you don't have a responsible person adminning the race... I mean match

No, You didnt get what I was saying. I was saying, You dont have an insim, Nor do you have insim. InSim is a protocol that uses packets to transfer data and report various info.

Quote from Ian.H : [ snip ]

I'd say LFS Lapper, And the CTRA X-System.
