To be honest I think that post is worse than a few photoshopped pictures.

You would be like that too, if your brother has just had a kid and then you see something ****ed up like that.

Ok.

Somebody broke something?

I will acutally say, +1 to this. The main reason for that, Regardless of what people say about configs. Is because this is a long track. LFS needs some long tracks, Seen as Nurburgring is miles out of the question. This may help.

Quote from AndroidXP :

Great idea! Just rename "Improvement Suggestions" to "Cruise & Drift goes here."
Talk about killing two birds with one stone

LOL Android!

I acutally think, Finally there is a good idea in here for once.

Quote from DarkTimes :

The other option is to setup your operations inside a mainloop in your program, and then when you want to exit just break out of the loop and you can do any cleanup before your reach the end of the main() method.

Wouldnt you be able to call methods from inside of main, And then when they are over. Return control back to the main method? Or am I thinking too much in the C++ world?

I acutally agree to this, So,
+1

There is a new hack floating about. The devs know and already have the file. Thanks to me.

Sam, I see what your saying there, and in a sence I totally agree. I have to say this though, Havnt you ever heard the saying: Once a theif, always a thief. This may not be 100% related to that saying, but the point is. They have cracked the game once, Who says they wont go and use hacks or something. Im not trying to argue in anyway, Im just looking at it from both points of view.

Seen as its a console app, You should make the global objects(MySqlConnection etc etc) static.
You will then have access to that from anywhere within the class. Im not too sure about your error tbh, but thats what you can do to make mysql global.

Quote from Scawen :

Just an update on this, we now know what causes the problem.

It's when a person who is now licensed has previously used a certain crack. For some reason this crack disabled skin downloading in LFS and it is their modified exe that generates the file not found errors.

Working on a solution now...

*sigh*, I dunno why people hack. Its great your working on a solution. (I also take it Vic told you about a certain something I sent him?:schwitz

On a side note, Shouldnt these people be disaplined in some way? they may have a licence now, but they still cracked back then which is against the rules. Its like, me doing a crime then becoming a police officer, I would still get in trouble.

Like I have the time atm I worked 6.5 of the 7 days last week, most of them starting at 8am and then not finishing on average until 9pm and I was up and on-site by 7:30am this morning. My next few weeks are like this again Literally no time for any projects at all atm

Maybe i should do it as a first C++ project, Got any ideas to chuck at me?

Quote from the_angry_angel :

Volunteering?

I was thinking of you acutally

Quote from the_angry_angel :

Looks fun.

Indeed, now all we need is an InSim app to score points for the best jumper of all laps.

Quote from SamH :

[edit] Ahh..hmmm.

If thats about what i think thats about, devs already know, as of early this morning.

Quote from fragile_dog :

And you ended up buying this. I don't think it really matters either way, serious sim racers will buy the game, people who just want to fanny about won't. Limiting the demo won't change this.

It WILL change things. The reason demo'ers act so ****ed up, is because they see LFS as a walk over. They do wtf they want, And never lose the demo. Whilst it makes LFS look good to new commers, It looks crap in the long run. On that front, I give this thread a big +1.

Scawen, You may have thought of this already..but, Could it be that the request is taking too long due to so many skins being on lfsw and then lfs is just assuming that the skin doesnt exist. It also could even be that peoples connections arnt that good, and the request is (as said above) taking too long. I have noticed massive groth in lfs and also, Massive groth in lfs skin useage. . I know its a long shot, but still a possibility surely?

Sam, To help make racing better, Why not send a REO packet(Race reorder), That could make things really intresting.

Quote from LFSn00b :

Also here's a one video of a huge bug/possible hack, happened in S2

You are acutally wrong. Thats not a hack. Its a bug in LFS. All that guy has done, Is broke his patch Y installation. Making the old BL1 track files still intact. When he drives online, LFS trys to keep him in your track path(new BL1), So it looks really stange.

Judging by the replay, Hes spinning up the wheels under braking. People used to do it with earlier patchs, Only they would spin up the handbrake. Old news...

I can give a server if needed?(1GB connection)

Quote from racer hero :

Instead of opening to a full grid, why not have say Single Seater 1a and 1b, but both running the same car and track?

Kenneth

+1

Guys, Goto: Improvement suggestions. This section is for Scawen to test the current stuff hes working on. Not request new stuff. Remeber that.

Good luck.....
